i feel like this is a good argument if you could show some evidence that another font designer put any thought beyond mere aesthetics in thaer decision making.

What i would like to see from someone like you, that criticises the work on display, in this instance, would be:

    -what font do you currently use?
    -what evidence do you have that it was 'designed by a font designer'?
    -what evidence do you have that such and such designer made decisions that are more accurate than the ones made here and for what reasons?
    -is there a write up by said designer that describes those decisions and possible alternatives and reasons for doing one while avoiding another?  .. this is my issue with the post, i feel it is too sparse on self addressed argument ..

if it's your first time in costa you should know that it is a very expensive country, though Osa is a bit down the less expensive end,

beyond rent, meaning food and entertainment, the prices are basically the same as stateside, sometimes more expensive...~4500 calones for a six of pilsen cans...

just letting you know so you and yours can aptly prepare

that said, i think this is a wonderful idea, and you are going to have a great time in costa

i write quite a bit with git, and recently brought an old collab project with a friend onto it.

i do all of the git work, and i just have my friend add my edits to his document, then he sends it back and i diff the two for potential errors... he requested it be this way because he is stuck in his ways, but we've agreed to go full git on book two in the series...

that said, when i first started sending him diff files we both saw this as a problem... my solution? i just wrote a script that i run on the diff to just highlight the changes made, then send him the new edited diff.

do you know of any languages that have a sort of inverted switch statement to clean up a list of if statements like this?

something like:

    invswitch err !=nil {
    case 'err := binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, int32(len(g.Name)))': return err
    case _, err = w.Write([]byte(g.Name)): return err
    case err = binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.Age): return err
    default: return binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.FurColor)
    }

my bad,

i was looking at his site typographyforlawyers.com page,

on the page linked he has a few other suggestions:

Pitch,

Kettler,

Nitti

; and Nitti seems to satisfy those simple needs,

i think i will take a look

nice clean site,

whenever i see talk of typography i always run to the thoughts on monospace fonts,

perhaps lawyers lack the same needs from monospace fonts as programmers...

both of his suggestions for courier alternatives:

FB Alix... his own,

Courier 10

; lack even basic needs such as easily distinguishable 0 and O and 1 and l...

of course i type this comment into a textarea using courier... that then prints Verdana... on a site arguably for people interested in programming and its tangential influence,

so perhaps i am the only audience

they have an amazing datastore of all of the known drone strikes

http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/category/projects/drone...

if you click into a specific country, they give detailed accounts of the events, like location, and how many dead, down to the number of civilians versus presumed militants, and also a detailed description of what occurred

i remember reading of one where the drone bombed a shelter with presumed militants inside, one person survived, crawled out of the wreckage and began to run into the desert, the drone circled around and tracked and followed the man for twenty minutes as he ran away and finally shot him dead

there are so many that I had to go into their archive to find the one spoken about in this article, and it is a very detailed account:

YEM034 October 14 2011 ♦ 7-9 people killed, including 16-year and 17 year old boy ♦ 2 teenage children reported killed A second drone attack then struck either a vehicle or a restaurant area. PBS Frontline later filmed at the scene of the attack, the footage showing the ruined foundations of a small building along with a nearby crater. Abdel- Rahman Anwar al Awlaki, the 16-year old son of al-Awlaki, died... the article is written by NASSER al-AWLAKI... Also initially reported killed was militant Ibrahim al-Bana. Doubts have since been raised about al-Bana’s death. A statement from Abdel-Rahman’s family read, ‘he left with some friends for dinner under the moonlight when an American missile landed, killing Abdel-Rahman and his friends‘. In a separate statement, the family said: ’On October 14th, 2011 Abdulrahman, along with some of his tribe’s youth have gone barbecuing under the moonlight. A drone missile hit their congregation killing Abdulrahman and several other teenagers’. A second teenager and family member, Ahmed Abdel-Rahman al-Awlaki, 17, is known to have died. Five to seven others were also killed, including Sarhan al-Qusa (aka Farhan al Quso) brother of AQAP leader Fahd al-Qusa or Quso, according to a member of Awlaki’s tribe. Reuters later claimed that the dead men were planning to renounce al Qaeda before they were killed. Elders claimed that four other Awlaki tribal members died in the strike.

Two weeks after the strike, AQAP released leaflets stating that Ibrahim al-Bana had not been killed. Ansar al-Sharia also reported in its second October newsletter that Bana’s death was ‘a lie’. In a statement, Yemen security officials said the air strike was among five that targeted al Qaeda positions in Shabwa, adding that al-Bana was wanted internationally for planning attacks both inside and outside Yemen. ‘He was one of the group’s most dangerous operatives,’ it said. The Washington Post reported that it was JSOC rather than the CIA which carried out the attack:

When pressed on why the CIA had not pulled the trigger, US officials said it was because the main target…an Egyptian named Ibrahim al-Banna, was not on the agency’s kill list. The Awaki teenager, a US citizen with no history of involvement with al Qaeda, was an unintended casualty. In interviews, senior US officials acknowledged that the two kill lists don’t match, but offered conflicting explanations as to why. In April 2012 the Toronto Star featured an interview with Nasser al-Awalaki, grandfather of Abdel-Rahman and former Yemen government minister. In it he said that former Yemen President Saleh had sent him a message insisting that he had had no role in his grandson’s death: ‘Tell Dr. Nasser I swear to God that I have nothing to do with the killing of his son.’Nasser al-Awlaki also said he would be taking legal action: ‘I am only a university professor and I’m not the kind of guy who would enlist tribal people. My only chance now is to go to court and I hope as far as Abdulrahman at least, they will be fair to us. They cannot claim he’s collateral damage.’

In April 2013 Jeremy Scahill added further controversy to the attack, reporting:

A former senior official in the Obama administration told me that after Abdulrahman’s killing, the president was “surprised and upset and wanted an explanation.” The former official, who worked on the targeted killing program, said that according to intelligence and Special Operations officials, the target of the strike was al-Banna, the AQAP propagandist. “We had no idea the kid was there. We were told al-Banna was alone,” the former official told me. Once it became clear that the teenager had been killed, he added, military and intelligence officials asserted, “It was a mistake, a bad mistake.” However, John Brennan, at the time President Obama’s senior adviser on counterterrorism and homeland security, “suspected that the kid had been killed intentionally and ordered a review. I don’t know what happened with the review.”‘ And in May 2013 US Attorney-General Eric Holder told US lawmakers Abdulrahman was ‘not specifically targeted by the United States’. In a letter, Holder explained Anwar al Awlaki was a legitimate target and that ‘[US] citizenship alone does not make such individuals immune from being targeted’. He said three other US citizens, including Abdulrahman, had been killed by US drones during Obama’s presidency.

i was first turned onto this site[1] from an app that attempted to text you every time a new drone strike was posted to this site, the APPL app store refused its submission a number of times citing "The features and/or content of your app were not useful or entertaining enough"
