Scratchpad for July 26 2020
- Go fonts
- More of an underdog, Go Mono is my new permanent terminal and code typeface. I never thought a monospaced slab-serif would get me.
- March 2nd, 1943
- A reminder of how hard date and time calculations are in reality. I followed the recommendation of subscribing to the mailing list. The changes are really quite interesting.
- Advanced Vim Workflows
- Watch three typical workflows of someone with a decade of Vim experience.
- Processing JSON with jq
- Some quick and very useful examples that the official jq documentation lacks.
- It’s time to start writing
- On the importance to take the time to write and write well.
- The Racist History of Tipping
- Having to tip to allow waiters a living wage has always bugged me as a suspect practice. What I didn’t know was that in the US, employers can pay staff as little $2.13 an hour.
- Futurist Programming Notes
- True and entertaining.
- Etcd, or, why modern software makes me sad
- I couldn’t agree a whole lot more with regard to the state of modern software development.
- School Will Never End: On Infantilization in Digital Environments
- There’s some valid critique in there, despite being a bit excited. I would argue that infantilization is a general trend that I observe with concern.
