The
box-decoration-break
CSS property specifies how an element's fragments should be rendered when broken across multiple lines, columns, or pages.
Not the biggest problem in the world, but it's annoying when you're trying to use borders around words or phrases in paragraphs of text and the result looks like crap because of line breaks. Glad to know there's a simple solution.
I randomly learned this trick today from a newsletter by Victor Ponamariov so thanks for that!

What Is Linear Phase EQ? The Complete Guide
https://audiosorcerer.com/post/what-is-lnear-phase-eq/, posted 25 Apr by peter in audio music reference toread
In the world of audio processing, the use of linear phase EQs has become increasingly popular among mixing and mastering engineers. Unlike traditional equalizers that can introduce phase shifts and distortions, linear phase EQ maintains a consistent phase response across all frequencies. This is achieved by delaying the audio signal, allowing for precise control over the harmonic spectrum without affecting the original tonal balance.
Why is this important? The significance of linear phase EQ lies in its capability to achieve a more transparent sound than standard EQs. This makes it particularly valuable in mixing and mastering applications where clarity and definition are paramount.
By reading this article, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of what linear phase EQ is, how it works, its key features and benefits, practical applications in mixing and mastering, and how it compares to standard equalizers.

Arkivering digitalt eller på papper – vad gäller?
https://www.bjornlunden.se/digitalisera-f%C3%B6retaget/arkivering-digitalt-eller-p%C3%A5-papper--vad__516, posted Jan '24 by peter in business inswedish reference
Enligt bokföringslagen ska räkenskapsinformation arkiveras (sparas) i sju års tid – och i den form den hade när den kom till företaget. Får exempelvis ett företag in material på papper ska det också arkiveras på papper och har det kommit in elektroniskt ska det arkiveras elektroniskt. Det går däremot inte att skanna in pappersfakturor och sedan slänga fakturorna när allt är inskannat. Man får inte heller skriva ut elektroniska fakturor och sedan bara arkivera dem på papper, de måste även arkiveras digitalt.
Väljer du att skanna in en pappersfaktura säger dock bokföringslagen att du bara behöver arkivera pappersfakturan (originalet) i tre år och den inskannade kopian i sju år.

What to read to become a better writer

Yes, writing is hard. But if you can first grasp the origins and qualities of bad writing, you may learn to diagnose and cure problems in your own prose (keeping things simple helps a lot). Similarly heartening is the observation that most first drafts are second-rate, so becoming a skilled rewriter is the thing. These five works are excellent sources of insight and inspiration.
