    &quot;There is no point of no return that makes it pointless to act. Our 1.5°C and 2°C targets are not cliffs or thresholds. Every tenth of a degree is worth fighting for as it reduces the impacts of climate change and limits the damage that’s to come. 1.7°C is better than 1.9°C, which is better than 2.1°C. We need to stop obsessing over arbitrary targets and focus on how we can help reduce our carbon emissions as quickly as possible.&quot; https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/dont-let-climate-fa...

    &amp;quot;AI absolutely will replace jobs in the future. It will cause job loss to the extent that it&amp;#39;ll also cause job creation, and we don&amp;#39;t know what the pace of those two things will be, and we don&amp;#39;t know how it plays out over time. We know looking back to every other technological development that has hit the US labor market. It takes a long time for it to be absorbed into productivity.&amp;quot; https://youtu.be/rcTp3QYDm7w by Kathryn Anne Edwards in conversation w...

    Exciting news for fans of typography! &amp;quot;For decades, software like Adobe InDesign and LaTeX has evaluated multiple lines of text at a time as they decide where to end one line and begin the next. It’s just that the web didn’t use a multiline algorithm. Until now. We are excited to bring this capability to the web for the first time, in Safari Technology Preview 216.&amp;quot; https://webkit.org/blog/16547/better-typography-with-text-wrap-pretty/ by @jensimmons

    I&amp;#39;m wondering if there&amp;#39;s perhaps a harm reduction narrative for managers and executives using coding tools all day. 🤔

    &amp;quot;Gladwell seems to misunderstand why critics dislike him: It&amp;#39;s not because he weaves together various case studies. (That&amp;#39;s actually the best part!) It&amp;#39;s because the central binding idea is weak or wrong, and he doesn&amp;#39;t seem to care.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Taken all together, Gladwell operates in such bad faith that it justifies removing his past, present, and future body of work from the public discourse.&amp;quot; https://culture.ghost.io/forget-gladwell...
