A recent fad in programming communities is monospaced programming fonts full of cool ligatures.
For example GitHub has 92 repositories marked as such; among them:
I understand Fabrizio when he wrote
Guys, try to put in my place. Probably you have never attempted to draw fonts and, above all, optimize a font for the screen you can not realize the work that is behind such a project.
Fabrizio Schiavi author of PragmataPro (source).
I tried, and I try, in every way a sponsorship or funding to reduce the price of the license, my dream was to offer it for free, but I don’t found that and I have to sell the license at a price at least partially compensate for the effort involved realize PragmataPro.
To reduce the price now would be economic suicide for me and misconduct against those who have believed before you and have already paid the amount required.
Luckly for us, less for him is the fact that there are so many good enogh fonts with ligatures. But the world is so big, I trust he’s getting good revenues from his other fonts.
PSSH is a small Python-based program, which allows you to execute commands on multiple Linux remote servers in parallel at the same time using the single shell.
Wonderful! Most programmers struggle to design portable applications and support them over Win, Linux, MacOS , Android and iOS. And now this:
Huawei Makes a Break From Android With Next Version of Harmony OS 9
China’s Huawei will not support Android apps on the latest iteration of its in-house Harmony operating system, domestic financial media Caixin reported, as the company looks to bolster its own software ecosystem.

And probably this will be “less approachable” to non-Chinese developer. That’s sad.

The loss of deep reading: How digital texts impact kids’ comprehension skills
From Hogwarts to hashtags, kids’ reading habits have changed drastically in recent decades — but data suggests cause for hope.
Key Takeaways
Source: How digital texts impact kids’ comprehension skills- Big Think
- Digital reading might be adversely affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published meta-analysis finds. Digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading.
- Digital texts, such as social media chats and blogs, tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions from social media, YouTube, and video games.
- The authors recommend that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink screens.

Tra 0 e 30 km/ora le emissioni aumentano molto significativamente: per i benzina del 50% e per i diesel fino al 500%.
Inoltre vi è pure la beffa che per i veicoli a benzina che marciano sotto i 30 km/ora risulta che le vetture Euro 4 inquinano meno delle euro 6 o 5.
Questi grafici mostrano l’assurdità delle politiche europee e smascherano le affermazioni FALSE del Comune di Bologna a sostegno dei 30 sul fatto che a minore meno velocità corrisponda meno inquinamento.
Ẻ anzi prevedibile che l’inquinamento in città da traffico veicolare aumenterà di molte volte, anche in ragione del fatto che, rallentando la circolazione, i veicoli inquineranno per un più lungo arco di tempo a parità di chilometri.
