My guess would be that they wanted to stop this sort of thing before it becomes a real problem. There have been numerous examples of this kind of "sjw" behaviour influencing and even targeting big open source projects, and people

Any chance you have reddit enhancement suite installed? That absolutely destroys loading times for reddit comment threads with default settings (ie: comment tweaks)

The Twitter site itself can be somewhat non-ideal for heavy use. The big fonts, lots of whitespace and non-chronological ordering make reading everything a chore. You can use TweetDeck, which uses the Twitter login so you don't need an

But the EFF sided with Greenpeace, which IMO makes me question their sanity

This seems like fantastic news after the HEVC patent disaster. Has anyone tested this or has more information on the performance/quality vs other codecs?

This seems to be more or less identical with the -dz version as that already contains bold and italics. So unless I'm missing something I don't think this is necessary

There are no windows versions of tewi, so I can't add it. And I'm not sure about ProggyTiny as I've already got proggyClean and there are so many other variants. But I did manage to fix profont by using a ttf version instead

I've never had contact with different subpixel configurations. So I have no clue how to fix that. Any ideas? I will add Tamsyn, thanks for the suggestion!

hmm in what way do you think it looks bad? I just double checked and the screenshots on the page are correct. I can see that some letters (MN) are too close together on the site. I'll try a different font version to see if that fixes i

Alright, well I should just do it and wait if something happens. I'll add it, thanks!

Oh that looks great. I'll add it!

oh wait, ALL images get 2x upscaled? That sounds crazy. There are double-sized samples in the compare mode. But if they're still upscaled by macOS, what can I do?

The red/green are anti-alias indicator. They're stay red for bitmap fonts even with AA toggled on to signal that they cannot be anti-aliased. Maybe I should make that clearer

I don't know if I am allowed to use it. It's from Apple, no?

Well screenshots are just screenshots and are dpi-indepandant. But the compare mode has a 2X zoom button for this. Not enough? I could use bigger font sizes, but that's not without trouble

You mean change it dynamically on the site? I wouldn't know how that would be possible. That would rely on browser rendering which is probably quite tricky to get it to look exactly like in editors. Not even mentioning the hassle with

But that is only feasible if you submit things you don't create yourself. Or you're a "rockstar programmer". There is only so much stuff people can do

It was always HN first
741.
by s9w 11y ago
I can agree only partially. That's basically similar to the problem that imageposts are vastly more popular than anything else on reddit etc. But HN does have a huge focus on quality posts and takes big measures to ensure that. Also th

I did this. Compares the most mentioned programming fonts I could find on HN, Reddit and the rest of the net. In compare mode, hover over the fonts name to switch the preview. More infos in the Github repo: https://github.com&#x2

Domain isn't that important for me. But HN and most (?) clients have it, so it immediately felt odd to not see it.

Random feedback: - No other way to switch to comments other than triple dot menu? - yes, collapsable comments! - comments waste a lot of space with whitespace. I like the time formatting on them though - Maybe add an (optional?) domain hint
