Thanks so much. A bit tickled pink. :-) v0.11.0 coming out soon-ish with lots of improvements.

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.

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".

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mas... 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.

...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.)

Darren Embry @dsembry.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

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...

Darren Embry @dsembry.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

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:

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 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?

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.

Darren Embry @dsembry.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

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.

I'm kinda obsessed with finding the fastest way to trawl through a 650+ MB OpenStreetMap XML file. Of course I wrote a program in C that makes 6,580 assumptions about the XML format and implements a finite state automata.

Just reported this for “trolling” which is one of the options and also wrote “fake engagement”. This is neither civil nor debate.

I disagree. I personally know multiple people who watch Fox News abundantly and their initial negative assumptions about Pete were challenged by the interviews he did on Fox News and now their opinions of him are neutral to lukewarm. 💁🏻
