That’s a lowercase “L” vs. uppercase “I” for those of you as confused as I was.
Thanks, the "1" does look different.
The font does have font-variant-numeric: slashed-zero

huh. could you tell how you use it in ci?
I'm using it for a service that has DB dependencies. Instead of using SQLite in tests and PG in production, or spinning up a Postgres container, you use Postgres via pglite.
In my case, the focus is on DX ie faster tests. I load shared database from `pglite-schema.tgz` (~1040ms) instead of running migrations from a fresh DB and then use transaction rollback isolation (~10ms per test).
This is a lot faster and more convenient than spinning up a container. Test runs are 5x faster.
I'm hoping to get this working on a python service soon as well (with py-pglite).
tln commented on Text case changes the size of QR codes johndcook.com/blog/2025/1... · Posted by u/ibobev
A major frustration in my life is that LinkedIn QR codes will not support all caps. It’s not even a profile capitalization issue; the app will refuse to scan the code if the “/in/“ is capitalized. The resulting size difference is quite noticeable particularly in small format.
I would not link directly to LinkedIn. They have changed the optimal url many times.
This, like many fonts, fails to handle vertical arrows:
| ^
v |
The bottom of the independent caret should be lower, roughly symmetrical to the letter `v` (this is not traditionally a goal). The top should still reach the height of a capital letter, but the bottom should descend into the lowercase letter area - for many fonts, perhaps to the level of the horizontal part of a lowercase `e` (is there a typographical term for this?)? For fonts where the x-height is half of the cap-height, there might be no overlap with the lowercase letter, though it still doesn't need to worry about leaving space.
The bottom of the caret is, however, higher than the mathematical "and" sign ∧, which rests on the baseline (and usually does not reach full height) or the Greek capital lambda `Λ` which is full height.
Are you trying to get a ligature that crosses lines?
You could maybe try U+2303 (⌃) for the up arrowhead, but why not just use U+2191 (↑) for the standard arrow?
The crossbar height of lowercase letters is not a common typographical reference point...
there are plenty of other vanilla html elements that are clickable. <details>, <input type=[button|checkbox|radio|file|etc]>, <label>, <select>, etc
True although the built-in click behavior is sufficient on these, ie you should not need to add onclick.
Which should be for <button> and <a>
My very similar pet peeve is about websites that use `onclick` handlers and similar to implement navigation. Just use a damn anchor tag, which gets you correct link behavior for free:
* works with middle click for new tab
* integrates with accessibility devices
* works with right click + open in new window or similar options
* etc. etc. etc.
If it's notionally navigation, don't use javascript soup: use a link.
Yes! If it's clickable, it should either be a button or a link.

Anthropic is a frontier lab, and Claude is a frontier model
Anthropic models are Sonnet / Haiku / Opus

Ok, they weren't confident enough to let the model actually edit the spreadsheet. Phew..
Only a matter of time before someone does it though.
I wish Gemini could edit more in Google sheets and docs.
Little stuff like splitting text more intelligently or following the formatting seen elsewhere would be very satisfying.
George Hotz said there's 5 tiers of AI systems, Tier 1 - Data centers, Tier 2 - fabs, Tier 3 - chip makers, Tier 4 - frontier labs, Tier 5 - Model wrappers. He said Tier 4 is going to eat all the value of Tier 5, and that Tier 5 is worthless. It's looking like that's going to be the case
Claude is a model wrapper, no?
