OLD TIMEY MONO and OLD TIMEY CODE 0.9.1 are now available.

0.9.1 fixes some hinting issues and the uppercase 'G'. I also fixed some broken links you may have encountered on the websites. If images are not displaying in Github, it's an issue with Github—they've displayed before just fine.

i just released fhe font webonastick.com/fonts/old-ti... if you want to use it.

OLD TIMEY MONO and OLD TIMEY CODE 0.9.0.

github.com/dse/old-time...

Use Old Timey Mono for your screenplays and typewritten letters. Use Old Timey Code for programming.

Enjoy!

Ok so not related to merging PRs but in this article of yours: stack-auth.com/blog/on-java... I see an error: all the decimal codepoints are prefixed with "0x".

Awaiting your list!

This hateful gasbag bitch played a huge role in getting us where we are.

I’m not sure whether I would have preferred he died sooner or suffered longer.

Keep rotting in hell you sad sack of shit.

YouTube video by The Military Show UKRAINE Just Did Something IMPOSSIBLE INSIDE Russia

Ukraine destroyed 5% of Russia's oil production with FOUR drones in ONE attack on ONE refinery (Russia's 4th largest) and that makes me happy. In total Ukraine destroyed at least 22% of Russia's oil capacity since the war started by consistently striking refineries.

I better see "prosecuting every single last one of those reptile crooks" energy next time. The far right is an invasive species. Think, emerald ash borer, spotted lanterfly, or police officer.

...if you remember this book it's that font they used for the code examples and things. While what's shown here doesn't have slashed zeroes or anything, I'm producing coding and "regular" variants. You might like it. (Or not.)

Reproducing Typewriter mostly fixed this by shortening the serifs and opening up some of those apertures (but not all of them). In my opinion a few small modifications could make this a decent coding font. As a matter of fact...

Most of those faces had long, close-together serifs and narrower apertures, as on real typewriters; this could cause readability issues at lower point sizes or where reproduction machines could distort the text enough to "bleed" the serifs together or close the apertures.

So, back in the early 1900s, if you had a Linotype or Monotype machine, you could get typewriter style typefaces if you wanted to simulate typewritten letters, like for adverts and such. There were fonts based on Underwood, Remington, Smith-Premier, and a few other ones. From a 1923 ATF catalog:

I swear, I'll release this one day. #reproducingTypewriter #coding #monospace #programming

Just noticed this about Inter Italic... didn't expect that lowercase "e" for this typeface. So cool! :-D

Welcome to the future
We’ve got plastic bags
We’ve got everything you want
Honey, clothes, and dish rags…

Meijer stopped using plastic bags. Welcome to the future I guess. I’m not a big fan of bags without handles but I’ll get used to taking reusable bags with me. Less plastic is good because I don’t want an even more unlivable hellscape than we’re already going to have.

Of course I heard some people on break outside of Meijer talking about a lady that tried to give herself an abortion. :-( #thanksTrumpers

And almost no one who needed to hear the truth heard it anyway. How it coincides too closely with Trump’s victory and inauguration is troubling—you know something’s up. (Also applies to various companies stopping their DEI initiatives)

I'm experiencing this too, I felt attacked.

View of the Moon on the left and the Earth on the right, half lit. The two objects appear very tiny as they were photographed by Juice's scientific camera from over 5 million km away.

A red sprite is pictured above the white light of an active thunderstorm as the space station orbited above North America in August of 2015.

The Earth viewed from the ISS, the Sun shining off screen to the right, the sunlight bouncing off the ocean and clouds.

this planet is the only one we’ve got, so let’s treat it that way

I did a rare thing: wrote a script I didn’t have to write in Python in Python. Like, something I’d normally use Perl for because I’m 3,293 years old and still use Perl.

Here’s a meme I stole from the internet for engagement. But apparently Lua starts at zero now?

@lpm.org OMG a Red Sovine song that isn’t some hokey spoken word ballad about boys and trucks.

I have gastroesophageal reflux disease and it's gotten a bit worse this year so I'm probably not going to try this. lol

Turns out if you make fewer malloc calls at a higher level (arrays of strings) instead of millions of malloc calls deeper inside the loop, your program becomes way faster. Also function pointers are cool because to change the state of the finite state automata, you simply change the function.

Repeated fread() calls into a huge buffer instead of repeated fgetc() calls helps. I have NO desire to roll my own memory management instead of using malloc(). Yes this is good old ANSI C (maybe some C99 stuff).

Removing leading and trailing whitespace from each line doesn't help; neither does removing the few attributes I don't need.
