Boarding passes need to change. But here’s the question: Is re-structuring the information enough or is the boarding pass concept obsolete? i don't know if the whole boarding pass 'concept' will be obsolete becau

sadly, this was only really possible in Type 3 fonts which were basically 100% postscript interpreted at the glyph level. this made it possible to do things like actually generate a new instance of a glyph each time it was printed at the ex

It is! Doing it right is the hard part since opentype is limited to very specific kinds of substitutions, so you don't get nondeterministic random, but you usually get something that appears random-enough. The canonical example of actu

Whether or not you like arial is totally on you. In many cases, especially onscreen, arial looks perfectly fine. Many of the norms around 'good' and 'inappopriate' type are the same around fashion/clothes. You can w

i recall that even as of ~2000 php3 had @beat support via its date() function. I just checked to see if it had been removed, but it's still (surprisingly) there. At least you can't say it failed for lack of ubiquity :)

i picked one of these up as a kickstarter backer and i was also 100% skeptical of the quality, but it's actually quite good and, more than anything, endearing. the caveat of course is that the size and scale of the projector means you're no

i disagree. fundamentally the point of these checklists is to standardize the sorts of things you evaluate during the code review. if feedback is inconsistent, you end up seeing different standards applied to several parts of the codebase w

the generalized form of this technique (which you can also use to see if somebody has a font installed locally) is to basically create two rules: .load-base { font-family: comicsans-ms, verdana; } .load-test { font-family: fancyfo

in my experience the general sentiment is that the ORM is a leaky abstraction because it's common to make performance decisions based on the ORM's peculiarities. up to a certain size, most ORMs will behave just fine! the bigger problem is

except is it? are most 0.1 module 'maintainers' responsible to the OP for high code quality, impeccable documentation and ease of integration? If this post is a language gripe, then at least argue about language peculiarities, not the qua

I'm sure i'm missing some important context because some other folks liked this post, but it ends up coming off as entitled whining. To summarize the author's gripes: > Why are there modules in 2013 which aren’t pip’ed? > You don

this is not strictly true, but it is a postwar convention that was popularized by Penguin books [1] and its 'composition rules' which were canonized by jan tschichold. The more common 'tradition', which Typeplate ignores, is that you inde
