It doesn’t make logical sense. Why does the 3-4-5 triangle work out cleanly, and yet π and e are irrational? How can 0.999… and 1 be exactly the same number? Who cares about solving lost and unprovable theorems — how do these help anyone?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it contradictory to be socially progressive and still want a traditional relationship?
4·3 months agoWhat is the question?
The Empire Strikes Back
Type faces (“fonts”) and typesetting. I personally like a face with a large x-height, double story open loop g, and a full range of f-ligatures. The art of lead typesetting has disappeared in favour of software solutions; TeX does a beautiful job, particularly when using Knuth’s faces. (Adobe’s InDesign also deserves an honourable mention, but it’s unfortunately proprietary and closed-source). And when using standard TrueType or OpenType faces, the difference between a page generated by either of them, and one output by Microsoft Word, for example, is noticeably staggering.
Rain sounds, Arabian instrumental ambient, Enya, Hildegard von Bingen. Some nights one playlist doesn’t work for me so I use another.
