One thing that really annoyed me in some monospaced fonts with ligatures is the [] ligature, I never understood why would someone rather see a box instead of two brackets. I'm no typographer, but I think that it makes the text lose its

I'm a Sansei in Brazil, which essentially means most people think I'm Japanese while the Japanese think I'm not, so I've peeked both sides and I can tell you this: yes, childhood in Japan can be amazing, but certainly Ja

Paper says that "those in lambda group received no benefits in regard to [...] compiler errors". Really, would anyone expect lambdas to improve compiler errors? Also, isn't that a problem of the compiler, and not of the lambd

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". In C you have to build everything from scratch. If you need classes, hack some structs. If you need string concatenation, write some mallocs and strcpy, and so on. C is
