All true, except it’s not really a Whitney clone. It’s Source Sans very lightly adjusted to match Whitney’s metrics. It looks and feels exactly like Source Sans to me. It’s a little strange to present it as a prestigious project with a minisite like this.

Source Sans is nice and easy to read, but so overused it’s rarely a good starting point for a visual identity.

No more physical support for the hand than what's seen in the vid. You can check more info in the github repo (https://github.com/akavel/clawtype) and on printables (https://www.printables.com/model/1231156-clawtype). The strap and the plate under the wrist seem enough that I'm not looking to improve on that at the moment; but I still need to test this version on some longer usage sessions. Interestingly, the original inventor and patent owner (https://web.archive.org/web/20220201061603/http://chordite.c...) has a design that doesn't even use a strap, but I didn't explore this direction yet (and honestly not yet even sure how to crack it). I know of another designer who's trying to iterate in that space: http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite

As to resistance, there's a balance to be adjusted between having the buttons too easy or to hard. This seems in main part to need to be adjusted by their positioning though. If too easy, you'll press combinations/chords accidentally too often. If too hard, it gets tiresome and annoying. Maybe there's some better placement possible, haven't found it yet. The switches currently used are Alps; they have dimensions which make them a good fit for this particular design; Cherry MX are a tiny bit too big and would require some rethinking.

As to 2 hands, the whole point for me is to have my main (right) hand available for other use, like drinking water, or otherwise supporting myself in the physical environment around. So I'm not currently interested in two-handed.

As to the number of keys - the four fingers seem busy enough; on the other hand, if you could fit smaller switches around (as in the DataHand design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataHand - see also 3d-printed clones on the internet - _edit:_ e.g. the https://svalboard.com, as mentioned by someone else, and lalboard https://hackaday.io/project/178232-lalboard-ergonomic-keyboa... as respectfully linked from therein), maybe you could try working with that. The obvious extra possibility is the thumb as you mention - it does feel like something could be added there, though it also sometimes helps a bit in holding the device. The original Chordite designer managed to somehow do it without a strap, but his reasons to not use the thumb are somewhat confusing to me.
Excellent insight, and that explains a lot of your decisions. Your junior example is a prime example of why AI can be such an awesome tool, just used correctly. Just awesome!

Good insight. My partner is strong willed, more of a Dagny. She respects me and wants to make me happy, does not like guessing what I want because we’ll just end up with stuff we both don’t like. I have a lot of respect for that. I think hers is the better way.

I now see the conflicts between her and my parents and often she’s like: why don’t they just say what they want? She gets the feeling they do stuff for her/us, but she wants them to do things they like! Of course we really like it if they want to see our children because they like to be with them. Not always because they want to help us out or something indirect. I mean, that’s wat love is right?
How do you measure the difference in observed GDP growth against a hypothetical alternative that wasn't adopted?

Notice also that the result will be confounded by the factors that affect government policy choices. If the economy starts to do better, politicians who want to spend money will see their chance because normally raising taxes triggers loss aversion in the population but the population is more likely to tolerate it if the economy is improving.

So you have a situation where GDP growth had been at 2%, politicians observe the start of an economic boom and use it as an excuse to raise taxes, and then the measured growth rate is 2.5%. Does that mean higher taxes didn't lower the growth rate, or is it that in the alternative it would have been 3.5%?
It's clearly the Bernie/AOC left who are correct here. The US forced this world order on the rest of the world, and massively benefitted from it, so the payback is not owed by the rest of the world who had this forced on them (though they benefitted too) but by the wealthy elite, who benefitted by far the most from it.

Look at the number of multibillionaires the US has acquired over the past 40 years. The trillion dollar megacorps. The many millionaires in Congress. Those are the people who owe payback to the American public. But those are also the people who control the American public, control their news, and feed them misinformation.

The problem is that if you do understand Any Rand, then she herself is the biggest tax advocate in history. Therefore she was one of the most immoral people.

How is this possible? Creating a tax free society requires more than getting rid of the government. It requires you to build a cooperative society where people willingly help each other out with no expectation of a return. Ayn Rand is the archetypical enemy of such a society.

No smallcaps variant? Disappointing honestly.
Except for the ”H”, none of them are particularly similar to Whitney. It would have been more interesting to compare the glyphs to Source Sans. Its ”g” is basically identical to this one.

EDIT: I created such a comparison. See neighboring subthread.

No, that's capitalist. That's literally the core of capitalism.
Basically, the same. I still purchase music. My collection goes back to done stuff I bought on CD in 1991 and ripped around 98. My wife finds music on YouTube, I browser RYM and then auditing stuff on YT. If it sticks, I but it.

I find it hard to manage several decades worth of playlists though. I wish music apps treated them with the same respect that albums get. Give them their own metadata like date created, owner, rating, moods etc.
Having written a moderately big project in OCaml which I tried porting to F# and later did port to Rust, to me Rust feels much faster to develop than either OCaml or F#, especially once you figure out the "core", adding more features is a breeze. Refactoring is also easier. Not to mention that reading Rust is much easier than reading OCaml and coming back to the project after a year feels very easy. I think that I have less bugs with Rust than with OCaml. And the end product's core ended up being ~3-4 times faster to execute in Rust.
The Perl Toolchain Summit 2025 Needs You
This kind of article makes me sad, as why should we live in a world where we (or at least some people) need to even think about this.. maybe I woke up this morning in a foul mood, but honestly, the idea of even having to think about burner phones and "opsec" for traveling (or even just living) depresses me to the point where I will probably not do it at all, and if things go sour, I just accept my fate. Similar to the prepping advice currently given by the scaremongering news in the EU... (Have water, and an emergency radio!!).

Anyone else feel like this? I simply do not have any desire to live in a world where this kind of behavior is required.

This more than doubles the previous investment, https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/03/tsmc-pledges-to-spend-100b...

TSMC previously pledged to pour $65 billion into U.S.-based fabrication plants and has received up to $6.6 billion in grants from the CHIPS Act, a major Biden administration-era law that sought to boost domestic semiconductor production. The new investment brings TSMC’s total investments in the U.S. chip industry to around $165 billion, Trump said in prepared remarks.
Open Router announces a "stealth" model named Quasar Alpha with 1M token window
I'm reminded of the "Unicode Tags" craze from a few months ago. [1]

It was discovered that some LLMs effortlessly understand characters from the "Tag" range in Unicode and treat them like ASCII, even though those characters are used virtually nowhere in normal text and you in fact need specialized tools to just make them visible. (There is a formal 1-1 mapping between tags and ASCII characters, which would also qualify as a Cesar cipher, but you'd have to read the Unicode spec to find out)

Most concerns were about the fact that this would allow people to smuggle hidden messages to or from the LLMs. But an interesting question was also how the models had even learned the mapping in the first place if tags never occurred in the training data anywhere.

As I understood it, the solution was pretty simple though: They hadn't. There was no specialized circuit for tags in the models. Tag characters just had the property that if you write them as bytes, they will look like "<some prefix bytes> <byte pattern of the corresponding ASCII character>".

So already the tokenizer would parse the characters as ASCII, interleaved with "unknown" tokens for the prefixes. All the model had to do was to ignore the "unknown" tokens and it could process the rest like ASCII. No Cesar cipher decoding needed!

Are we sure something similar isn't happening here?

I'd say this is Source Sans. I'm sorry to trivialise Nebula's effort, but this seems much ado about nothing—they warped Source Sans' glyphs to be metrically compatible with Whitney, renamed the result 'Nebula Sans', got a developer and videographer to produce a whole website and mini-documentary on the matter and called it a day.

Excuse me?
You can do absolutely anything to things you own, including cars. That's kinda the point of ownership. Cut it in half if you want. Smash it to pieces. It's all good.

I guess what you're really referring to is whether it's still legal to drive on the public highway. As far as I know you can still do anything as long as it still passes the MOT test for roadworthiness. People do engine swaps. You do have to consider insurance, though, which is also a legal requirement for use on the public highway. General insurers typically won't insure modified cars, but there are specialist insurers that will.

As I understand the US is far more lax in its vehicle testing than other places, but this isn't really related to ownership and being able to modify things you own.
The US would be far better off to re-institute the original structure. Let the federal government do none of this, don't even have a federal income tax, and then California can have socialized healthcare and Texas can have low taxes and people can decide where they want to live.

Common defense is mostly relevant in wartime. The level of military adventurism the US engages in isn't anything Europe should covet.
Indeed. Taxation is as old as civilization. Civilization is built on taxation. The first writing systems, the first numbers, the first money, it was all invented to enable taxation. People should finally quit being so childish about this. Unless you want to go back to the stone age, taxation is unavoidable.
> The police banned speaking any language other than German or English.

Incorrect. That was a court order, because people were quite obviously subverting the prohibition of calling for genocide by using languages law enforcement does not understand.

> I don't actually know any Jews (or Muslims),

I know both Jews and Muslins: you are incredibly wrong.
> when you import, you send your currency overseas to pay for the goods.

As a general rule, this is false. Mexican importers do not pay for U.S. goods in pesos. With few exceptions, importers have to sell their local currency on the market, exchange it for the exporter’s currency, and pay for the goods with that.

Some exporters will accept the importer’s currency as an accommodation, but they’ll just sell the currency to exchange it for their own, because they have to pay for everything at home with the local currency. If I were a U.S. exporter, I couldn’t pay for my groceries with Euros.
Which big mass spammers are you thinking of? The only ones I can think of are political campaigns; scams obviously can’t be compliant at all. And even political campaigns are having to switch providers once or twice a year since they generate over 90% of spam reports and don’t actually bother with even opt-out compliance.

Any legitimate business that’s actually compliant will respect opt-outs and actually stop texting after a STOP, and I seriously doubt they would actually survive if they blasted away with unsolicited a2p texting these days.

Sparklines are not bar graphs, they're lines, hence the name. If you have a copy of Tufte*, you can find them on page 171.

Tufte has written up a history here: https://www.edwardtufte.com/notebook/sparklines-history-by-t...

This tool doesn't really create sparklines, but it does create small charts, although given it is delivered via custom font, it's usefulness is limited.

* And anyone interested in displaying information is doing themselves a disservice without a copy of "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" by Tufte.
I think the question and the answer conflate two very different threat models.

Back in the day, everything of interest was on the device, and to be search-resistant, it was necessary to encrypt and hide it well. And most answers still seem to assume this is the case.

Nowadays, though, almost everything of interest is stored in the cloud and what the cops/CBP/three-letter agencies want is the credentials to access those. Sure, you can make their life a bit harder by logging out of everything, so access is not completely trivial, but they can still stick you in detention (or worse) until you cough up your passwords, regardless of what is or is not on your device. And the only way around this is to never show up on their radar in the first place.

Every web server claims to be fast, so I wonder how they define that. As someone who has written their own supposedly fast web server I only want configuration simplicity. Most web servers are unnecessarily far too complicated.

In a web server here is what I am looking for:

* Fast. That is just a matter of streams and pipes. More on this later. That said the language the web server is written in largely irrelevant to its real world performance so long as it can execute low level streams and pipes.

* HTTP and WebSocket support. Ideally a web server will support both on the same port. It’s not challenging because you just have to examine the first incoming payload on the connection.

* Security. This does not have to be complicated. Let the server administrator define their own security rules and just execute those rules on incoming connections. For everything that fails just destroy the connection. Don’t send any response.

* Proxy/reverse proxy support. This is more simple than it sounds. It’s just a pipe to another local existing stream or piping to a new stream opened to a specified location. If authentication is required it can be the same authentication that sits behind the regular 403 HTTP response. The direction of the proxy is just a matter of who pipes to who.

* TLS with and without certificate trust. I HATE certificates with extreme anger, especially for localhost connections. A good web server will account for that anger.

* File system support. Reading from the file system for a specific resource by name should be a low level stream via file descriptor piped back to the response. If this specific file system resource is something internally required by the application, like a default homepage it should be read only once and then forever fetched from memory by variable name. Displaying file system resources, like a directory listing, doesn’t have to be slow or primitive or brittle.

This is one that I slapped up, many years ago: https://cmarshall.net/Error_404.html (the site, itself, is pretty much moribund).

I took the code from some other site. Can’t remember where, exactly. Like much of Internet history, it seems to be lost in the mists of time.
It usually depends on location, for example Cloudflare has a setting somewhere for "always show captchas for non-western traffic" and a lot of people set it.
> the rhytm of the typeface

That's what the parent commenter means by 'They just matched the outer dimensions of Whitney'.

In other words, metrically compatible. To the untrained eye, metrically compatible typefaces all look the same, because they're meant to be swapped between each other. In my view Whitney and Source Sans couldn't be more different. The stroke cuts in Whitney are angled, they're perpendicular in Source Sans. The lowercase 'b', 'e', and 'g' are very different in both fonts.
From my experience booking.com is the most guest hostile platform I’ve experienced to the point I try to actively avoid it. I travel A LOT and can book anything from 20 - 40 stays per jaunt. Whenever I have encountered a problem on booking it has always been met with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ tough shit energy.

I remember one specific incident when a hotel had purposefully put me in a noisy room (I saw a sheet on the reception desk labelling it as ‘ruidosas’ which means noisy in Spanish). I took a video of it against the receptionists will and ensured I got the logo of the hotel in as well. When I reported to booking they essentially told me to jog on.

On the contrary, anytime I’ve had an issue with Airbnb they have sided with me and provided a refund/assisted me with finding better accommodation.

This isn’t a ‘you book more with us thing’, either. I have substantially more bookings on booking due to the prevalence in Asia but they literally could not care less
