It's indeed Maple Mono. I love that font!


Funny seeing this here with your comment, as I was exploring using ECharts for a project recently to work exactly with HTMX from a Clojure backend. I eventually settled on Chart.js as I found that for my use case, I wanted the charts to more easily fit their dynamically sized container, which isn’t quite as simple with ECharts and Vega. I also didn't need particularly complex plots. Nevertheless, this is a nice project! There remain some open challenges with web-based visualisation libraries more generally around responsive design and accessibility, but we’ve come a long way.


Did you look at charts.css ?

This looks great, thanks! I didn't come across this this in my search but I'll definitely try it out.


> more easily fit their dynamically sized container

I've done this for more simpler elements. Copilot helped me come up with a little bit of custom JS in those cases.


Looks like I submitted a related link, but not the best one. There are some workarounds [1], but it's frustrating that Samsung has decided to no longer support non-Galaxy Book devices, even for just viewing and not editing notes.

Funny to see this here as I stumbled upon this company earlier today. They seem to have a wide range of interesting products and an active GitHub account.

There have been proposed amendments deliberately targeting the use of VPNs.

by the opposition none the less.


"""opposition""" at this point.


Indeed. Keir Starmer's Labour is hardly any opposition at all.


To be totally fair, it does look like his Labour party will be the next gov.


I do kind of expect that to be true as well.

That said, it won't be much of a change, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Of course, this is all very subjective, but I do find Fira Code to be a beautiful coding font. I also appreciate having ligatures in fonts nowadays. Fira Code was my go-to for a long time, but I've come to increasingly use Jetbrains Mono which is available under the same Open Font Licence and is quite similar (although slightly preferable visually to me).

I'm having trouble finding it now, but at one point I used a tool that put monospace fonts head to head (without revealing their name) and you would choose what you thought looked best. Jetbrains mono was my winner and I've been using it ever since.


I believe you're referring to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29010443


I used Jetbrain's Mono font for quite a while, until I switched to Julia. I found Julia even clearer.


Same here. Fira Code, then JetBrains Mono. JB Mono is very under appreciated, although it’s maybe just a matter of taste.


Can't explain it, but to my eyes Jetbrains Mono is too robotic or mechanical, maybe clinical? whereas I love that Fira has some character and feels at least a bit Humanist for a monospaced font. The iA Writer fonts are another great option.


You can accomplish this through the settings.

  "[c]": {
      "editor.fontLigatures": true
  },


Unfortunately, the link is currently unavailable, but from the title, it sounds similar to Uses This (https://usesthis.com/), which I find to be an interesting way of learning what tools people are using in different industries.


The most aggressive lobbying seems to be companies behind the game just looking for suppress and catch-up strategies. There are legitimate concerns and calls for oversight and transparency (e.g. in law enforcement use), but they've been drowned out somewhat.

The lobbying by Big Tech companies, including Alphabet and Microsoft, is something that lawmakers worldwide will need to be wary of, says Sarah Myers West, managing director of the AI Now Institute, another think tank. “I think we're seeing an emerging playbook for how they're trying to tilt the policy environment in their favor,” she says.

Derren Brown did a re-enactment of this experiment for television in the UK in 2006 as part of The Heist, one of his many TV specials. He had results similar to the original Milgram experiment. You can watch clips of it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxq4QtK3j0Y

Edit: It seems that the full show is also on YouTube from Derren's official channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDtMMsFoHuY


Derren Brown did a reenactment, not a recreation, as he is a Magician not a scientist.


You're right, I've changed the terminology to clarify this for people unfamiliar with Derren Brown.


Being a re-enactment and not a recreation, it also does not have “results”.


If you've watched it, re-enactment probably isn't quite the right term either. AFAIK the 'participants' weren't aware it was an 'experiment'. It has results, they are just extremely limited and not rigorous.


Derren has unfortunately been a big source of misinformation. I once saw a video of his at a neuroscience conference.
