My state has its own iFile system that works pretty flawlessly as a pseudo-wizard but actually a free fillable form. It expects you to file federal taxes first so your 1040 can be used to fill in the details.
Considering air doesn't typically follow national borders I think that's a bit shortsighted to say. "Much better" might not mean "better than the US" but just "better than before for Canada", which may or may not say too much at all.
And at least Moore is planning to work with Scott in order to expand the public transit footprint Baltimore has (such as more than one light rail/metro line each and more BRT)
Mailbox.org is a great service, good support for custom domains. Also can use Exchange protocol so push notifications for emails (on iPhones at least) are possible
A home where your may live with a good number of people and no workspace besides your bedroom can be very distracting. And assuming all software engineers are paid MAGMA wages and are higher class workers than others in their company is absolutely incorrect
There may be a gamut of people replying saying "I don't go to work to socialize" but work is definitely a place to network and find new colleagues and opportunities beyond. Trying to say that any work one does is done without any interaction with your coworkers apart from sparse Slack/Teams messages just isn't true
This sounds like an extrovert talking. I don’t network, find new colleagues, find opportunities beyond at work. As an introvert, all of that sounds absolutely anxiety ridden terrifying. Thankfully I am fully remote now so all of the interaction I have to do with coworkers is over slack.
I can’t agree more. An author who can’t be bothered to follow well established forms of style, grammar, and punctuation in a technical article somehow deflates whatever else they have to say even if accurate. It’s not as if they are trying to emulate the works of E. E. Cummings, James Joyce, or Arno Schmidt.
y'all are the most boring people on the planet istg. in the entire legion of internet writers making in depth technical content there is what, one who deviates from the conventions and you can't handle it.
This author is a much much better writer than average for free technical content! They have an interesting, unique style! The typography and punctuation are part of that style! It would be tangibly worse if they adhered to the (bad, and also arbitrary!) typographical conventions of raw html just to please a bunch of square-ass nerds. Shit just makes me sad seriously.
> They have an interesting, unique style! The typography and punctuation are part of that style!
Her 'interesting, unique' 'typography and punctuation' makes me want to poke my eyes out instead of focusing on the content itself. You sneer at conventions, but they were developed after centuries of typesetting and typewriting.
Her entire style sheet is an abomination:
- The serif typeface she has used, EB Garamond, is best used for printed text. I am working on a 27" 1080p monitor, and the low DPI makes for very painful reading. Sans-serif humanist typefaces like Verdana (used at Hacker News, thank goodness) or Open Sans are best.
Better still, use the OS typeface in `font-family` (`-apple-system`, Segoe UI, SF Pro, Roboto, Lucida, Ubuntu, Open Sans, etc) instead of dragging in your own. If one so desperately wants a serif typeface, please use something that's nice and blocky, like Droid Serif or IBM Plex Serif.
Incidentally, I have the same qualms with the default typeface in LaTeX: the Computer Modern provided is far too spindly for digital reading. There is an alternative, MLModern[0] that is thicker, but it only has Type 1 glyphs rather than OpenType.
- The colours she has chosen are not as bad, but they are certainly distracting. Can't go wrong with a monochrome dark grey/white, or even straightforward black on white.
- Uppercase/lowercase letters and proper punctuation help break up the prose, and improve the reading experience by differentiating proper nouns, beginnings of sentences, etc etc. Dismissing this by saying 'Oooh, look at me, I'm different for different's sake' is just exasperating.
Incidentally, I'm probably of a similar age group as the writer, but I like to follow grammatical and typographical rules in long prose (I don't care as much in personal texts), because they make sense.
The reason it's important to stick to established standards is precisely to avoid discussions like this. It's a total waste of engineering time, so, in this case, be boring.
Face ID has been upgraded since 2019 and is now a lot faster than the initial iteration. Some people may argue Touch ID will always be faster, but I think actively looking at the phone is quicker than trying to put your finger in the right spot
