The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.
Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.
My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.
Is it that, or is it because they’re still using old pirated copies of XP everywhere, so they don’t have to worry about broken updates?
If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.
I started in 2006 web design & development, worked till 2019 when my company dissolved, 5 months before the pandemic.
I moved out of the city and I’m fixing rusty old cars for peanuts. It’s nice, but can still be stressful. Just in a totally different way.
Well I do like FDAs, and roads though. But I’d rather have healthcare as well, and I’d like way less of it to go toward it cops and wars. Mainly I want a lot more of the taxes coming from the billionaires.
Low income American here, upwards of 24% of everything I make.
Getting ptsd from making gouache pallets in 100 level color theory class.
It’s a common problem with underfunded development. Though the lead devs make a big difference too.
Me too, the Facebook files were a big deal in the first few weeks after his takeover too (once the overwhelming news about layoffs and brain drain subsided).
That’s what [sic] is for though. You fact check, and then leave the quote as the press release had it.
The problem is that most of these articles are basically reprinting of the press release without any editorial additions at all.
Thanks! That’s how I read it as a joke, but why not?
For yay ho would be too much though.
I’ve said both subversion was better, and worse before for sure. PTSD is making it hard to remember what I’ve said when trying to remove a PSD of mpeg you accidentally committed in the first commit and just noticed as you cloned the repo home and it was 2gb for a 3 page website.
I agree that texture healing is a bit too vague about that they’re really using it for. Its really for kerning pair without disrupting the monospaced grid. Maybe, since the audience for these fonts aren’t usually typographers, they should have called it Monospaced Kerning Pairs?
Texture is a term and feature of typefaces in design however. Usually described for fonts used in body text, or larger blocks of text.
While it probably doesn’t affect shorter lines of text used in most coding languages, it can be harder to read when smaller sizes are used. Monospaced MmWw are the worst culprits.
One memorable observation on typographic texture was made by Heinz Peyer, a Swiss poet, who said that reading a text composed in Helvetica was like walking through a field of stones, whereas reading a text in Syntax was like walking through a field of flowers. (23)
Form is often susceptible to logical analysis, and pattern somewhat so, but texture evades precise description because its repetitions are so numerous, its features so small, and its interactions so refined, that the multifarious complexity of the emergent image resists orderly analysis. Texture requires a holistic more than an analytic under standing.
Ironically the second paragraph is turning out to be largely incorrect with smarter ways to analyze blocks of typeface texture. Also this second paragraph nicely illustrates the utter wankery present in a lot of typography circles and analysis.
Gotta justify that grad school bill somehow (pun intended).
Edited for spelling
Like kerning pairs, but with character swapping instead of kerning adjustments. It’s a really clever use of the language features available in Unicode.
Except I like reading the comments…
There are literally dozens of us.
Ruby feels a lot like writing poetry. Especially with microframeworks like Sinatra.
Python feels more like writing JS/ECMAScript without any punctuation.
Then again I cut my teeth on Actionscript (1 ugh, 2 ooo, and 3 nice—oh the iPhone doesn’t support it…), so my opinion is probably pretty worthless.
Yeah, and node was skipped for some reason.
Django (python framework) is almost 20 years old.
Is everyone still using imagemagik under the hood? I’ve been out of the web server game for a while.
If you can piss 6ft straight up in the air and not get wet…
Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.
