Balances text blocks, making them as narrow as possible while maintaining their current height (i.e. number of lines), preventing typographic 'widows' and
'orphans' (single words on a line by themselves).

As of early 2023, native browser support for text balancing is planned but not yet implemented. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-wrap

This feature can be previewed in Chrome 114+ by enabling the `Experimental Web Platform features` flag in `chrome://flags`.

For browsers that don't yet support `text-wrap`, this script uses a binary search to find the narrowest width that maintains the current height, based on

No More Masters

In my book Git for Humans, published in 2016, I made copious references to master as the primary branch name used in Git repositories.

The term master can refer to a "master copy," meaning the original or canonical version of something from which other copies are made. But its primary meaning in the English language is "a person who has general authority over others." And, especially in American and British English, it's hard to separate the word "master," and that meaning of it, from another related word: "slave."

If we're being honest, folks in tech have known that "master" and "slave" are problematic terms for a while, even if they haven't felt motivated to change them. There are those who say that if these words refer to objects or systems, rather than people, then they can't be offensive, just as people argue that tech is a meritocracy and algorithms can't be biased. These argument

We want our prompts to look like this:

[ddemaree@ddemaree-osx giftboxapp (master)]$ 

In this example, the text inside the square brackets shows the current username and hostname (ddemaree@ddemaree-osx), followed by the name of the current directory (giftboxapp), and finally the current Git branch ((master)) shown in parentheses.

If we have untracked changes to this Git project, those are denoted with an asterisk:

• The Typekit Blog - Type study: Hi-DPI web typography by myself. Discusses some type-specific concerns when adapting web design for Retina-class displays, including dealing with overly light typefaces on 1x-resolution screens.
• Karen McGrane's Content Strategy for Mobile from A Book Apart. Discusses adaptive content at some length, including some examples of websites that serve up varied content structures appropriate to each reading context.
