Plague PoemsWhen you see the story
about how the world
now has its first trillionaire,
and when you see the story
about how laboratories
in Congo have run out
of supplies to test for Ebola,
it is important to understand
that in many ways
these are the same story.

RIP #GitLab. I don't know wtf they're doing but all the people who made it are gone, all the people who maintained it are gone, and they just fire, what, 1/5th of their workforce because they want to get in bed with AI?
Fucking rename yourself. No one needs you to pretend you're still GitLab, you're some fucking zombie org waiting to be acquired.
if your comic has a bonus panel, either you're pushing "but it's not the full comic" to the audience, or your panel isn't required for the comic to stand on its own in which case why did you write it.
"I published a book but if you REALLY like it here's a secret extra chapter on my website that does nothing for the original story".
I'd post to Hacker News, but the only computer with a login to that is at home, in Canada, and I am in Europe.
Karl Dubost@TheRealPomax @ahmad You may want to use https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-synthesis-intro
font-synthesis: none
Seriously what the hell is #Safari or #WebKit doing, everything about this font says the advance width, lsb, rsb, and xmax are all zero. Why the hell does Safari insist on going "oh, 300 zero width characters? That's 88.9 pixels of whitespace."
Does anyone I know work on the font size of Safari/Webkit? Because this is *bad* and someone should fix it.
This might be a decades long bug in whichever font engine #WebKit uses... Zero valued hmtx seem to get interpreted as non-zero subpixel values instead. Which you don't notice until you have many of them in a sequence and zero-width becomes super obviously not zero width.
