Next year we can start on The Year of the Plan 9 Desktop! (Or maybe Hurd, I can't decide)

Good Grief!
That's a fun bug!
NOT!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The going rate for a stolen identity is about twenty bucks. Can I pay $25 to get it back?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but you have to pay $25 to every hacker on the 'net.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Make an estimate on how many times are you are distracted during an average work day. 1/0
|
|
|
|
|
I sit in an office from nine to five, but what's this "work" thing I keep hearing about?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm distracted 100% of the time, but that's not a waste.
|
|
|
|
|
Right. The distractions are the good parts.
That's why we are distracted by them.
If they could make work as good as the distractions then we'd work.
They ought to figure that out.
But, they are managers and are distracted by other things.

Monoid is a new programming typeface designed to be clean, uniform, and precise, just like good code. I dunno. I think I'll stick with BrushScript for my code

No 8-point? Fail! OK, it'll do 8-point, but not as clearly as Andale Mono does.
(Still looking.)
And the descenders look awful.
And I can't install multiple versions? (Small, extra small, etc.)

WTF, no capital N! How in the name of the dark one would I be able to name a class NinComPoop properly?

I, for one, can do without capital n. However, maybe you should look for it in the Cyrilic part of Unicode?
|
|
|
|
|
I looked at it and noticed that the capital/lower case lines weren't the same length. Instead of noticing the missing 'N', I actually thought it wasn't a fixed width font and decided it was garbage. Whoops!
|
|
|
|
|
On my work box, this seemed to confuse the font system - a default install only made the oblique variant available, which was undesirable in a coding font.
Source Code Pro[^] does the job for me just fine.

I think I'm gonna check it out (but Envy Code R is still king).

My initial thought is that I like Consolas better. In particular, lower case ijl are IMO more clearly differentiated. Monoid might be a bit better with 1I differentiation, but with a top hook and no pedestal base it's 1 just looks fugly.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Just tried it. Jesus, that is bad... must be the least readable font I have ever seen

No like ! Cap "A" looks "swollen," most of the glyphs look emaciated.

Bosun is an open-source, MIT licensed, monitoring and alerting system by Stack Exchange. Can you set it to alert you when your Stack Exchange questions get deleted?

The first step is a project with Rackspace to make OpenStack easier to deploy and manage. "Set me down easy from that special cloud you put me on"

Cloud: computer, ethernet port, ethernet cable connecting to Internet.
How can that be hard?
The cloud is a fuzzy term but Intel is referring generally to an architecture in which applications are virtualized, or running in software containers, and can be set up and pulled down with high levels of automation.
Ah. And I need this why? I think that's the hard part.

Functional languages are the future of our industry. It only sounds rude
|
|
|
|
|
They all start out with an OO language like Ruby, Java, or Python, and eventually end up switching to something more "scalable".
I'm laughing too hard to reply coherently.
