GitHub - ipython/xkcd-font: The xkcd font[^]
Why am I not surprised.
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???

Days like this I wished fonts were embedded in source code !!
I commit all the source files in xkcd fonts and see my colleague freak out.
I'd rather be phishing!

Sharing a screen is already enough of a hassle (I use a 4K monitor at its native resolution, a coworker uses 1080p with large fonts), I would NOT want to have to put up with other people's fonts in code...
It's bad enough already to get everyone to agree on tabs vs spaces...

I just wish it had a full complement of characters - at least for Western languages (such as all the characters of ISO 8859-1).
I guess there has never been a strip where, say, æøåÆØäöÄÖ and the German double-s occurs. The Å is included - I guess that there may have been a use of the unit Ångstrøm, 0.1 nanometers. Maybe the artist, Randall Munroe, could be urged to produce samples of these characters, in an xkcd strip or standalone. It wouldn't be right to have someone else try to imitate the style, it must come from the original source!

I was thinking of developing a visual programming environment that could generate .NET code
And that got me thinking about the little connectable gadgets in Rocky's boots.
That was a neat game. I really enjoyed it when I was young.
Maybe I should recreate it in C#. It would probably give me the code for diagramming connectable objects I could use to make that visual coding environment.
Either way it could be fun. I was just curious if any of you had played it.

I had to look it up and would guess that many who post here are too old to have played it. At the time it was out, I think I was wasting my time on the first version of Wizardry.

Or too young, I was -5 at the time.
Ah, good old times!

Kind of similar, from the looks of it, though Rocky's Boots is a bit older and shows its age.

That's a bit before my time, but that type of game/simulation would have kept my young mind happy. I recall using a particular connect-the-gadget simulator in (I think) an intro computer architecture course. I don't recall the name of it, but it was fun to play around with.

Well, with his age, he is in the vulnerable group, and given his size, he probably has comorbidities as well.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

My current contract is ending, so I am semi-seriously looking again. When did "Backend" coding turn into HTML, CSS3 javascript and such? My idea of back end is database layer and business layer (to use the buzzwords I knew). HTML, CSS, javascript, Anguar etc was called 'Frontend" coding
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

Never, those are not back-end. They may be server-side, but they're front-end.
