Cool. This would be easier to interpret with a log scale. There's an option for it, but clicking it doesn't change the chart and freezes the site for me.

I've talked to Apple support about this. Their website says...

    Apple Originals are always commercial-free.
But you are forced to watch ads for other shows before viewing an Apple original. The support person said that because the ads are before the show you are trying to watch, that the show itself is indeed commercial-free. Language lawyering at its finest.

Would be great to have an option for two spaces after a period. I had to go back and fix the first letter of every sentence!

I've noticed something similar in Facebook marketplace ads for used furniture. Most of the images are AI generated to look like a Pottery Barn catalog, then the last image will be the actual item, full of scratches and other damage, sitting in a messy garage.

Halfway through I was sure that there would be a reveal at the end of the article that the article itself was stored in the site's favicon, thus explaining the short, terse sentences. I was genuinely disappointed when I realized it wasn't. Missed opportunity!

I'm in academia and used to use LaTeX for everything, and have switched almost 100% to typst. Not many of my colleagues are aware of typst but a few use it.

I think there is hope though. Grad students are slowly picking it up, and they are the future of academia. I've seen similar transitions away from Fortran and Matlab as grad students embrace different tools than what their advisors use.

So excited for the path type.

Referencing files somewhere in or below a document's root from a package has always been pretty convoluted. This should simplify setups like mine that depend on local custom packages.

Grammar note:

When used as a verb, it should be "set up," and when used as a noun, "setup."

Other examples (verb, noun):

log in, login

back up, backup

shut down, shutdown

break down, breakdown

warm up, warmup

> Bonds are no longer recommended. Current research indicates 100% equities to be the best composition leading up to, and past, retirement.

Are you referring to Anarkulova et al? Might be worth mentioning that the fixed income part is replaced with international equity, not more domestic equity.

I'm sure they do, but data about the speeds of other ISPs is also valuable.

Either crumble by hand or beat with an open end wrench.

How do you propose we measure a person's wealth, when wealth is easily hidden? When it needs to be done now, it is usually a years long audit.
