Every web designer should devote a lot of work to ensure that the end user never sees the Courier New font.

Schedule for the coming days: 1. Write the programming olympiad for the internship application. I hope I'll pass. If I do, I'll be able to rent a flat instead of dorm. 2. Meet the best friend from the air port. 3. Go to cinema with a different friend. 4. All while doing the comic for the anthology. I've received a constructive review, and now I know of many faults I should fix. Anybody want to make my schedule more dense?   @bouncepaw 1. Olympiad failed. Anybody got internships for me teehee? 2. Meeting the friend in 2.5 hours. Maybe I should sleep at least a little? &C TBA. Being up to date with the RSS feed is so weird. For months, there was always more stuff to read there. Not anymore.  @bouncepaw the first best time was never building an application but it happened anyways!  @bouncepaw was having a conversation about nethack earlier this evening. We also talked about how good Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead is. Writing the diary during the day instead at the end of the day is a big quality of life improvement. @bouncepaw Does that mean writing it in one sitting, or returning to it a couple of times a day? Categorized stuff in my #DigitalGarden by year. There are entries from many years! I have started republishing old stuff from other sites, so more coming soon. Rate my categories: https://garden.bouncepaw.com/category Tip: the best stuff is under Arbre and Art categories. @bouncepaw Any examples you would enjoy sharing? Or are you really talking about the German publisher Reclam? :)  @bouncepaw The English company, Gollancz, published a ground-breaking series of high quality science fiction novels, including the first hardback edition of William Gibson's Neuromancer, and they all featured yellow covers and no illustration. I was asked to share some yellow examples. From top left clockwise: Dixon — After Man (fun) Darwin — On the Origin of Species (gotta continue reading it, I will not add bookmarks anymore) Standage — An Edible History of Humanity (currently reading this one along with a green book, so fun!) An old NatGeo issue I got in the wrong place Leskov — Lefty (awesome illustrations) Hesse — The Glass Bead Game, Siddhartha + Journey to the East (vibe) Dorren — Babel (dropped, got bored) CC @lemmus  @bouncepaw I may be misunderstanding something, but I think @bd is the best! (As you've had no replies AFAIK, would you mind expanding “BD:s”? Sorry and thank you!) @bouncepaw the ui to add a feed was simple: paste a url the interface itself was like a construct your own newspaper, which at the time was customizing your own personal homepage. and since this was before ad proliferation, people shared the full content of their blogs, so user styles counted. all this to say, google reader was mostly good because it was a product of the times and even if all the technical pieces magically fell back in place today, socially, web publishing is different. @bouncepaw it was hosted online, instead of a local program, so your "read state" was always in sync no matter which device you used it from. it could also handle a ton of feeds and was always up-to-date whenever you loaded it, instead of needing a 30-60 second "syncing..." phase when you started up your local reader app What software has good built-in documentation? Can you show it? I want to follow the best practices.

Rewatching【東方】Bad Apple!! ＰＶ【影絵】from time to time and recognising more characters every time. |
I can't imagine how people using Windows live with that font everywhere. It's humiliating. Y'all have good vision, innit?
@bouncepaw still better than comic sans; maybe? :)
@bouncepaw
wait why I love it
