o2 | Oxygen for your company
For those who appreciate like me the almighty P2! I’m slightly mithered discovering this:
If you’re wondering why these aren’t appearing in the WordPress.org plugin and theme repositories, it’s because these are very rough releases. We don’t suggest using o2 on a production website, unless you know what you’re doing, and you’re willing to get your hands dirty debugging, tweaking, and optimizing to your specific environment.
Is it time for open processors? [LWN.net]
The disclosure of the Meltdown and Spectrevulnerabilities has brought anew level of attention to the security bugs that can lurk at the hardwarelevel. Massive amounts of work have gone into improving the (still poor)security of our software, but all of that is in vain if the hardware givesaway the game. The CPUs that we run in our systems are highly proprietaryand have been shown to contain unpleasant surprises (the Intel managementengine, for example). It is thus natural to wonder whether it is time tomake a move to open-source hardware, much like we have done with oursoftware. Such a move may well be possible, and it would certainly offersome benefits, but it would be no panacea.

In English the verb “allow” cannot take an infinitive as a complement. Ever. You may not write “my method allows to improve productivity” (even if it’s true, which it probably isn’t, but never mind).

Wow. That’s a constructive way to criticize 🙂

Script fonts
As I'm tidying up my notes I've found a little paper note. Five lines in total, labelled "script fonts". Here they are:
The Unseen regular- Pacific
- Gloria Halleluja
- Permanent Marke
So here I am, writing it down on my little kitchen sink of a blog. As usual it is nice to provice some links, so I've been looking for them on the net.
The latter three are well known to me. In fact "Pacific" is a script font so similar to my cursive writing that when I first saw it I thought it was a scan of my own writing… well, sort of.
Looking for The Unseen regular on Duck Duck Go a link caught my attention. https://fonts2u.com/faq.html
