I cannot imagine a company or managee that engages in these practices being honest about them

Are you on Windows? I patched the original tufte fonts to fix these crazy kerning issues, but i have indeed noticed them.

A very fascinating read.

As a fellow tufte css enjoyer, Why is user select turned off on the sidenotes? I would like to be able to copy paste them quite badly.

Japan isn’t a federal government, so the decision can happen at the national level because prefectural and local governments zoning ability came from the national government.

I don’t think the federal government could de facto change this, though in practice they have levers available.

I agree with the general sentiment that the structure of society is going to change, but I don't know what the satisfying solution is. It's hard to imagine not participating will work, or even be financially viable for me, for long.

if an 1800 word post is just too long I think you are cooked. This is the nicest thing I can say on the subject.

Some of these fonts and transitions I like a lot, but sometimes it feels like there are a few too many fonts on screen.

There was a healthcare strike that ended this month which counts as added jobs iirc

There is a CORS preflight check for POST requests that don't use form-encoding. It would be somewhat surprising if these weren't using JSON (though it wouldn't be that surprising if they were parsing submitted JSON instead of actually checking the MIME-type which would probably be bad anwyay)

Sure, but if I want to host my static files on a website where they are easily cached... cloudflare also offers this product?

Isn’t the horrendous ethical and legal decision delegating your hiring process to a black box?

By what means did you make sure your LLM was not trained with data from the original source code?

I don’t think you have to go from here to planned economy straight away. There are capital gains taxes between the current level and 100% which might produce better outcomes.

You use clean room everywhere in the article and clear room in the title. Is this on purpose?
