@npub1s97…lg0g If someone donates to the land fund does it get put towards things like this?

@npub1xy8…k9gh Are they really Developer Expert programmes or just unpaid marketing programs?

@npub198t…hasj Guess you should write the article then!
The rules talk about identifiers and personal data though don’t they?

@npub198t…hasj AFAIK if it sets an identifier e.g. cookie, loads a script from or sends data to a 3rd-party domain then it needs consent

@npub19lt…qfjk How you manage your draft blog posts? 😇

Me and Mrs D got married 18yrs ago today… (nearly had to cancel because the youngest was quite ill with croup that week)
Mrs D posted some photos of us over the years on FB, and one of her friends said “when ever I see a photo of the two of you, you always look happy”…
I guess we’re doing something right because while life’s been a bit rough at times while we’ve been together we’ve always been each others rocks

@npub19lt…qfjk People opposed green energy are a weird bunch - what could be wrong with cheaper, cleaner energy and not being dependent on mainly autocratic regimes for oil and gas?

Saturday in the UK is a mixture of hacking down with rain followed by short sunny periods!

@npub16u7…uend There are tradeoffs but generally IMV most sites / apps are using too much JS

Why do people keep publishing academic papers in the hard to read two column format?

@npub198t…hasj I’d switch to a font format that’s compressed e.g. woff2, rather than otf (although otf can be gzip compressed to reduce it’s size over the wire)

@npub1xed…yg9w Spoke too soon… Is the code on GH as this doesn't look right to me
Am I correct in thinking the left and right combined should be the same as what's in the middle?

@npub1xed…yg9w @npub1kg2…ckz0 Yeh, I just independently found https://www.zachleat.com/unicode-range-interchange/
And it does exactly what I need for now
Thanks for making it

2024-02-27 15:22:29

@npub1xed…yg9w 👋
Do you know of any CLI tools that'll list all the unicode ranges in a font file?
Have looked at fonttools but didn't see an option
Want to split a font into multiple subsets but need to make sure I cover all the existing chars / glyphs

@npub198t…hasj I keep an 11” MacBook Air as a “cheap enough to lose with no private / confidential info on” for conferences etc.
So was thinking of comparing the Go to it just for funsies

@npub198t…hasj At that price I’m tempted to buy one just to have play with it

@npub1hqx…944s I always answer that we don't have any physical premises or servers
When I talk to customers security teams one of my standard answers is we protect your confidential / personal data by storing as little of it as possible
Perhaps I should look into the ISO certification

@npub1ggl…wlnf That’s going to be fun… perhaps you can ask @npub1xed…yg9w to come visit and take you out for a drink

@npub19lt…qfjk I didn’t find the business one too bad either
Wait until you get a customer in India, then you’ll reach a whole new level of bad forms and paperwork

@npub19lt…qfjk TBH I’ve never found it that bad, but form could definitely do with a redesign

@npub19lt…qfjk @npub194h…4ewx If you open it up in an image editor adjusting the contrast, saturation etc makes it a bit more readable
I’ve only played using iOS Photos (as I’m by a pool in Crete) but a better editor and a higher res screencap might help
