Hello HN! I wanted to make a font that I can "snap" to vertices on a grid for an upcoming project, and after starting making it I decided that it was going to be easier to iterate if I made an editor too. It uses opentype.js to generate the font and some invisible textarea tricks combined with svg for the text editor.

It took me a second to realize what I was looking at, but this is a very cool toy to play with.

When I click the same bubble twice in a row it clears the entire field of bubbles. Is this intended behavior? Seems like I should be able to undo a click that I've made. Using Firefox on MacOS.

I also lost some font progress to this feature. Maybe a “clear” button would be more intuitive?

Awesome project though and beautiful fonts!

Yes! Author here, the emojis text with css transforms.

Unfortunately the side effect is that some emojis, live the gorilla, are only a head in my font. Still, it's cute, despite the weird scales (your mouth is 12cm??)

Visualize emojis to scale. The chicken is not bigger than the car anymore!

I had to check the title to make sure it is not there. I totally read "from COVID-19" in my mind.

> I'd like to buy a computer that's just like Macbook, except with repairable/swappable/upgradeable components

That's the thing, making something plug and play and mostly "driver-free" would be very hard to almost impossible. Framework laptops look amazing but they will require at least a bit more maintenance and knowledge, and that is fine too.

> I'm still waiting to hear about the aircraft that has gone down

So sad to hear. No one shines a laser on an aircraft accidentally, and it is not like the police are using lasers as an excuse to systematically punish a minority. We don't need to wait for a tragedy to happen here.

I think the point is that if Apple did optimize the algorithm using ImageNet then they and we are seeing the same best case scenario.

Still, there is more to it. Don't wait to retire to do what makes you happy.

I surely do not :) my job is very interesting, yeah it can suck debugging or going through bureaucracy and documents. However, I get to WFH, do chores as my break time, then at 4 or 5 I say Good Day and I use my evening for family, friends, and hobby. Happy life so far!

If your phone is broken you don't always have the option to do that.

Won't iCloud lost mode and remote erase mostly accomplish that? Not sure how many photos are cached on the phone in off-line mode, but that would remove icloud photo access at least.

Fine advice if you already had your phone entirely backed up before it broke.

But if your phone's broken and you know you don't have complete backups, I can understand being hesitant to hit the remote wipe button.

Yeah, regular backups is a must.

Also, you can try reducing the "contrast" and "definition" settings. I think in this case the hoodie is taking a lot of the lines, I'll take a look, thanks!
