From a Dane that finds multiple of these fonts gorgeous and highly appreciate the elaborate kern pairs: please consider patching the fonts with an ø. ;-)

GP is not fully correct. Under Danish tax rules unrealized gains are not taxed for standard stock investments. Taxation only happens when realizing gains or losses, except for special investment accounts like retirement savings or other acc

Additionally, xterm starts quickly, has an incredibly responsive feel (the latency from keyboard press to a character appearing is lower than any other terminal emulator I've used) and looks absolutely stunning with a nice bitmap font.

I started out using Gitlab for my personal repos, but have switched to using bare Git repos on a VPS for the last few years. If you won't be collaborating with anyone else, nothing beats being able to just write: ssh $HOST git ini

I enjoy how well-crafted Fossil seems to be; just like SQLite, which a sibling comment also mentioned. I really want to use Fossil, but it would be way too hard for me to not have the index/staging area of Git. [1] For all the software

For a more gentle introduction, check out 'The METAFONTbook', also by Donald E. Knuth. I think that it is still not available in a digital format, but your local CS-oriented library might have a physical copy.

I recently took up baking (as in bread) as a hobby. It brings me joy to produce something as well smelling and testing as bread. Cooking in general could also be a hobby. Going hiking could be a hobby. Just enjoying life and being mindful o

I reckon that the chance of the same two blocks on two different disks failing between ZFS scrubs would be incredibly small.

The readme for this project specifies the user agent of the client as Picotorrent/x.y.z, which makes me think that most private trackers would block it.

9/11 wasn't caused by lockpicks in luggage. The Vegas shooting had guns in luggage as a key factor.

Slightly OT: BoJack Horseman hits the nail right on the head in so many aspects regarding human nature, social interactions, mental health etc. The characters are so deeply human in many capacities. The series manages to talk about some hea

This seems like a better solution than what the author proposed. Another thought could be that the pop-ups would only be disabled for the spatial parts of the pop-up which have an interactive element located directly below.

I can see how the author finds this an issue, but I have to disagree with his proposed solution. Halving the width of the notification in the way shown would only work in the cases where the user is pressing buttons on the left or right sid

Is Ted Nelson generally seen as the inventor of hypertext? Vannevar Bush's As We May Think was published in 1945, but it seems that his descriptions of what would later be called hypertext were too general for him to be seen as the
