I recently bought a new laptop and went through the hassle of setting up Git SSH key again. There are many guides somewhere on the Internet but it’s all over different places and they tell you to do different things with different outcomes.

…In the past few months, I have been following an online course in edX called The Challenges of Global Poverty.
…One fine day at work, I took up a task which involves reducing the font size of a text from the current 12px to 9px. From my experience, this won’t turn up well in some versions of Chrome, as Chrome imposes some minimum font size, when the browser is set to a specific language. This minimum font size restriction, apparently, is controllable at the browser settings (ref 1, ref 2).
I would go and raise this issue to the designer and product manager, but one question popped up:
