A blog becomes a testament to our willingness to be wrong publicly, to think out loud, to expose our intellectual growing pains.

And there's profound credibility in documenting our uncertainties, our revisions, our gradual approximations toward truth.


the project author is Devrel from Together.ai. This is a fantastic way to advertise a dev tool, though.


> I wanted to go to Mecca and Medina, but as a non-Muslim, it’s haram.

No, it's not. You can even go inside any mosque if you wear the proper clothes, as how Muslims pray.


Um.. no?

> "Mecca is the holiest city in Islam where the pilgrimage or Hajj to Mecca is celebrated. This destination is only for Muslim tourists. At the entrance, there are several checkpoints where they will check that the visitor is a Muslim, and non-Muslims will be redirected to a highway that surrounds the city. Pilgrims must prove they are Muslim and women must be accompanied by a Mahram, also known as a male guardian."

A non-Muslim can visit Medina but the main mosque is off limits.

You can use a library to take care a lot of FOUT versus FOIT experience. Face Observer (https://fontfaceobserver.com) lets you wait for the web fonts to load, then responds accordingly.

    var html = document.documentElement;
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.src = "fontfaceobserver.js";
    script.async = true;

    script.onload = function () {
      var roboto = new FontFaceObserver("Roboto");
      var sansita = new FontFaceObserver("Sansita");
      var timeout = 2000;

      Promise.all([
        roboto.load(null, timeout),
        sansita.load(null, timeout)
      ]).then(function () {
        html.classList.add("fonts-loaded");
      }).catch(function (e) {
        html.classList.add("fonts-failed");
      });
    };
    document.head.appendChild(script);


If you do this please make sure to not hide things when scripts are disabled.


Updated, thanks!
