Looks like they're relying on system fonts instead of serving them over the web. It uses Segoe UI (a Windows font) by default. I tried accessing the page via Fedora and iOS and neither load the font correctly.

I am honestly not excited about the "AI" tech here--I'm excited about the battery life improvements that will come from using ARM chips. Battery life was the reason I chose an M1 laptop over the alternatives. Hopefully we can

Priority Continuum Onyx by any chance? Those things are absolute beasts. Fantastic commuter bikes.

Some tests might have side effects. Probably not a great idea to test the function “bill customer” on a prod deployment. That’s why containers for testing is great—it’s easy to spin up an environment that can be messed around with without c

I recently rewrote a website/small backend API for a non-profit organization. I could've gone with a serverless architecture for our forms handling API and reduced spending to nearly the free tier, but I had no good way to protect

I feel like this could be a part of a weird plan to trap Apple into an antitrust lawsuit about iMessage. Beeper's CEO has been claiming that the existence of Beeper Mini actually improves iPhone users' experiences. He could argue

pypush, the open source project behind today’s developments in the iMessage reversing news, is licensed under MongoDB’s Server Side Public License and owned by Beeper (JJTech sold the rights to Beeper, per discord). Although this library is

I could get behind this, but only if my kids had open access to the internet via some other device. Phones are addicting and can be harmful (esp to younger teens), but it is crucial that young people have access to the resources the web can

Agreed. If mobile operating systems allow password managers to support Passkeys, and password managers implement the functionality, then I will absolutely switch.

For every platform/ecosystem you are using (Chrome, Apple iCloud), you had to create a new passkey. For people using multiple different devices and platforms, this is a headache. I want to sign up once and be done with it.

Until there is a viable way to sync passkeys between all devices, all platforms, and all browsers, I will be happily sticking to my passwords. The security benefits provided by passkeys are not enough to offset the ecosystem lock-in that pa

Right? Nuclear power is some of the cleanest energy we have. With research developments, strong safety regulations, and a plan for storing the waste it produces, nuclear is a much better option than continuing to rely on fossil fuels. What

I hope that Matrix will be for IM what email has become. The ability to control your own data and use a client of your choice is incredibly valuable. Surely, there are costs and labor associated with running a Matrix homeserver for your org

I feel like this is a major design flaw in the package managers being used. If people have to squat package names to mitigate the chances of a dependency confusion attack, then the package manager/package repository needs to find a bet

Personally, I think that the beauty of current LLMs are their ability to process and present information. Although current generation LLMs might not be best suited to making new discoveries or producing new (valuable) information, their abi

As someone that is still in undergrad but will be entering the labor market in a few years, this entire process makes me incredibly anxious to think about. Reading what some people go through to find decent jobs has been a huge stressor thr
