Apart from that I rely very much on how browsers present my site, from the default font and size to the paragraph distance and the emoji set used. HTML was actually made to be responsive. It's a reflowing format that theoretically works on any screen size. But of course that won't be the case when there's things like sidebars or banners and stuff. And there pretty much always is.

The truth is, if you want to build the most-accessible product possible, you need to use both pixels and ems/rems. It's not an either/or situation. There are circumstances where rems are more accessible, and other circumstances where pixels are more accessible.

The Dunning-Kruger effect states that incompetent people overestimate their competence. You've heard of that before, probably. Turns out, there is a major error in the statistics: the effect is actually nothing more than an autocorrelation. If we measure the stuff correctly, the effect disappears.

Domestic animals are sensitive to human cues that facilitate inter-specific communication, including cues to emotional state. The eyes are important in signalling emotions, with the act of narrowing the eyes appearing to be associated with positive emotional communication in a range of species. This study examines the communicatory significance of a widely reported cat behaviour that involves eye narrowing, referred to as the slow blink sequence. Slow blink sequences typically involve a series of half-blinks followed by either a prolonged eye narrow or an eye closure. Our first experiment revealed that cat half-blinks and eye narrowing occurred more frequently in response to owners’ slow blink stimuli towards their cats (compared to no owner–cat interaction). In a second experiment, this time where an experimenter provided the slow blink stimulus, cats had a higher propensity to approach the experimenter after a slow blink interaction than when they had adopted a neutral expression. Collectively, our results suggest that slow blink sequences may function as a form of positive emotional communication between cats and humans.

Programming fonts are stuck in the past. Proportional typesetting is everywhere and
there is no reason why you can’t use it for code.

woob is a collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser. It also provides well-defined APIs to talk to websites lacking one.

Tedu wrote a terminal and an article about it. Also links two other articles of his on the topic, which I also betulized. Writing your own terminal sounds fun!

UPD: there was a third other article released later, which I didn't particularly like.

Одна из основных целей проекта - кардинальное внедрение русского языка во всю систему, включая (хотя бы частичный) перевод исходных текстов на русский язык. ЯОС может работать как приложение в окне под Linux или Windows, а также в виде обособленной операционной системы на оборудовании x86 и ARM (поддерживаются платы Zybo Z7-10 и Raspberry Pi 2). Код написан на языке Active Oberon и распространяется под лицензией BSD.

Проект выступает основой для развития идей русскоязычного программирования, повышения комфорта работы с кириллицей и русским языком, опробования на практике разных подходов к вопросам терминологии и к глубине перевода. В отличие от существующих русскоязычных языков программирования, таких как 1С, Кумир и Глагол, проект нацелен на предоставление операционной системы полностью на русском языке, в которой переведён в том числе код загрузчика, ядра, компилятора и драйверов.

Активный Оберон — база, его русский вариант должен, соответственно, быть базой.

Minimizing your keyboard layout is a slippery slope.
34-keys has been reasonably comfortable to use, for both prose and program. My palms do not move across the desk at all, as I reach for keys. I mostly write Rust and Bash, and my layout has evolved to accomodate special characters from their grammars (angled brackets and hyphens, specifically). If you are on a similar journey, I would suggest focusing on accuracy and comfort over speed. Speed comes with time.

A teacher says that one should teach programming with a programming language that was designed for that. Oberon, for example.
