Is that your site? If so, please consider changing the "B612"/"B612 Mono" font to something else. The parenthesis in it look far too much like square brackets (at least as rendered by Firefox on Windows 10 with subpixel AA enabled on a standard DPI LCD monitor). In particular the default font makes the quoted Python code in the linked AM Modulation article almost unreadable (it took me a solid minute to realize you were calling math.sin/math.cos instead of trying to index them for some reason).

  I really like the B612 font, while I agree the bracket^Wparentheses are strange. Any font suggestions?

    I don't have a particular suggestion. I used the Developer Tools to disable the CSS font directives, so maybe just have an option to switch to a stylesheet that doesn't specify specific fonts? Also, thanks for your articles. I find them very well-written. I'm reading through the one on impedance right now and it's a very clear explanation of a concept that that can be somewhat confusing.

    It's not that hard to find a set of more "curvy" parentheses from a different font to put in, or just make them more curvy yourself! Font editors are widely available and very easy to use especially if you're making small adjustments like this. I remember decades ago I manually "slashed the zeros" on most of my system's fonts using a hex editor, after a particularly bad misreading incident... B612 is open-source too, so you don't have to worry about any copyright issues either.

Why does your blog have so many ads? Is it really necessary?

  The ads/content ratio of this site is about 1/30. Where is the problem?
