Was thinking of taking a writing class. Looked at MasterClass, and they have Malcolm Gladwell in there teaching. Wonders never cease.

Hat tip mietek

Cartoon of two programmers solving a jigsaw puzzle. Freckled man labelled "Dynamic typing" is yelling "Done!" with his hands gleefully raised, but his jigsaw is not solved, only arranged in a rectangle—because, in a unityped language, the pieces are square and can be used anywhere. 

To his right, a man labelled "Static typing", whose jigsaw is not finished, is looking unimpressed with an eyebrow raised at his colleague. His pieces have interlocks as in an ordinary jigsaw, and some are correctly placed.

My favorite quote from Sense and Sensibility was written by Emma Thompson for the 1995 movie adaptation, and not by Jane Austen. Huh.

A recent free-open mono I think is very good is Red Hat Mono.

Another reason to love Michael Spivak is that his "A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry" which he published himself, uses Baskerville.

Someone commented that it has become thinner and more spidery in recent years, and I agree. I also hate it; it should not have been left as the default for TeX / LaTeX, no matter how much we revere Knuth.

I've tried most of these. Not Twilio, I'll look it up. I find that good-looking fonts are not necessarily good after hours of coding. E.g. I love the look of IBM Plex Mono but it gives me fatigue. Intel One Mono though, great. Consolas is still the standard bearer, for me.

There's a mono version, Comic Code by Tabular Type Foundry. It works pretty well as a coding font, though I tend to prefer more subdued fonts.
