Tokamak[0] is really promising on this front

Same here, I've tried a couple different browsers but none of them worked. I'm on Linux with a fairly recent AMD GPU.

At first I thought you were joking, but this is a very real class! Probably one of the longest I've seen.

Does this mean they are also removing the VisualShader as well? Or purely the scripting part?

At my workplace they made this decision before I started and I can fully agree with this. It's essentially a typed REST without any of the benefits. No joins, everything is multiple calls away to perform a "full" query.

I don't even want to think about undoing this mess.

Seconding this. It's the easiest interface I've found by far for domain management. Having only used NameCheap before; it's great. My needs are pretty basic though, just pointing at a couple VPS.

I've been using this font daily for many months now, fantastic font. It comes at a cost, but it's been worth it for me.

I'd like this too, I'm not one to read a physical book, but I'm constantly reading on my phone & computer

I prefer to use nbb[0] for this, or babashka[1] when I need to use stuff specific to JVM.

This amazes me as well. At work we have a simple website which has 1 GB of node_modules and the actual source code is well under a megabyte.

My thoughts exactly. Org-mode just works and has so much functionality that I haven't even discovered yet. I am currently using it for notes and TODOs.
