the formality slider (play with it at the google fonts page linked in the article[0]) is genuinely one of the coolest uses of a variable font axis i've seen in recent memory. it feels like we're witnessing the slow and steady vind

nixos is already, from a certain perspective, an exotic take on gentoo. take away cache.nixos.org and it becomes a source-based distro. it's not even too out-of-the-question to do traditionally gentoo stuff like globally set -funroll-l

the consequentialist "may as well" or "for all intents and purposes" is implicit. of course you can't ascribe literal teleology to something like a megacorp; diffusion of accountability is a defining trait of any su

inkscape has had a long and quiet ascent from quintessentially janky foss creative software to genuinely pleasant to use. i still wish it were a little easier to edit the individual portions of deeply nested clip/mask operations, but i

genuinely remarkable, the altogether perhaps even productive mischief you can get up to, especially with `__VA_OPT__` becoming a proper standard in both C and C++ so you don't have to feel dirty about using it. i recently made use of

multiple services depending on different outputs of a single acme client can be expressed, right now, in 2025, within systemd unit definitions, without deeply integrating a systemd-certd-or-whatever-as-such. which is basically ideal, no? fo

i remember looking through these during a deep dive on type selection -- naturally radon, krypton, and arguably xenon come across as a bit gimmicky, argon has stiff competition in its genre as it's the rough style of most “modern” mono

for starters, toolbox grouping and icon theme changes are reversible in settings, and in fact the "legacy" icons have gotten a lot of love in 3.0. they look nice at high dpi now! (it's a shame we moved away from the tango aes

there is a very real sense in which nix has been riding on a good idea while ergonomics elsewhere in the field have advanced, yes. make no mistake, the technical work, getting programs to behave themselves in a fairly alien environment etc,
