How often do you think most users read the screen, especially using something other than the screenshot tool of the operating system? As an iOS developer I run Xscope to check details of designs, I don't know, maybe once every two week

I like the way it looks, but I discovered that while I can use SF Mono at 11 points, I have to bump up the size of Iosevka to 12 to avoid eye strain. The result was that while I could squeeze longer lines on screen with Iosevka, I get more

One common reason is avoiding defining hard dependencies to versions of your transitive dependencies. In my current Django project I have 19 declared dependencies and 26 transitive dependencies. We have one file for the declared one and the

I'd expect the total automobile traffic to be reduced, rather than all of it concentrating on the through streets. Making driving less convenient will push people who don't have to drive to leave their cars at home and go with pub
