Sunset··on Steve Ballmer serves up a data trove about government spending in the US
The font size is "wrong" for everything and completely inconsistent and all over the place. White spacing is all wrong too.

Yes. Lack of sleep. Sleep is biologically essential for forming detailed long term memories.
Sunset··on Show HN: Lama.io – Adblock Creative Manager
How are you going to sidestep the first thing that will happen. That is your messages getting adblocked in the main lists themselves?
Sunset··on What unpopular opinions do you have about software development?
Violations of software licensing are irrelevant. What matters is how useful the end result is to the end-user.

If you violate every copyright law in the books, I still wouldn't care as long as your program does what I need to get done to get on with my work/life.
