I need to have blog posts written for my company’s blog. I have the titles and the ideas, I just don’t have time to write them. Does anybody know of any service that could write them for me?

My life is lacking sparkle. What's your favorite font to use with clojure?

i started using input mono. it’s very nice

@escherize http://input.fontbureau.com/preview/?size=14&language=javascript&theme=solarized-dark&family=InputMono&width=300&weight=300&line-height=1.2&a=0&g=0&i=0&l=0&zero=0&asterisk=0&braces=0&preset=default&customize=please

PragmataPro, non-free, but its the best that i can find http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm#.VaYIvdJqZuY

@pupeno: scripted is one such service

escherize: on a mac I would just use menlo, it’s optimized for code.

@paradoxquine: interesting.

@escherize: i’ve found menlo very nice for lisps. i’ve heard good things about inconsolata as well. http://www.slant.co/topics/67/~what-are-the-best-programming-fonts has a great list that includes all the best ones i’ve found

I’ve been using Source Code Pro for years.

I like menlo

I'm stuck on terminus, it's the crispest font imaginable

I switch to something else for screenshares though b/c it doesn't play well with compression

http://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/ sudo apt-get install xfonts-terminus

I tried lots of fonts and color schemes for years, this is the least strain-inducing for me

maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing at first glance

+1 to menlo on the mac (IntelliJ). For a few days after I got a 15” retain pro I would just sit there looking at the screen and drooling. I always thought the whole retina thing was marketing but wow, it makes a difference

@colin.yates: you're doing i3 on a mac?

I wish. No. Just vanilla Yosemite. I considered using a screen layout tool but decided to sell my soul to Apple for the convenience.

losing a bunch of ‘tech cred’ in the process

only compelling feature for me in osx is sane highdpi + external

i have a thinkpad with a high-res screen and have to compromise both ways

otherwise i love the thing

every so often I give into the distro-hopping itch but have restricted myself to firing up a VirtualBox VM (great bit of engineering) and playing in there. I haven’t yet found anything that will tempt me away from OSX.

Gnome3 is actually shaping up pretty well actually. KDE5 is getting more mainstream as well. My other pleasant experience was a pretty lightweight KDE4 distro on Arch. Never had to touch the mouse at all, no title bars or scroll bars anywhere.

but I find the Mac is just too pretty go give up. I use virtual desktops/spaces whatever they are called now a lot, typically have 6 or 7 open at a time and switch between them frequently. A four fingered swipe up in Yosemite gives me a great overview.

I have arch running om my macbook with the awesome window manager also pretty nice

But it's way too small on retina and I was to lazy to fix it 😛

I always go through the same emotional journey with these things - excitement of the possibilities, joy to be flying in Linux, minor frustration that it isn’t quite right, then giving up and a feeling of not quite being good enough. Rinse and repeat every couple of months 😉

:c

@danielsz: have been using i3 for a few months already, I use lxde as a base system for the config utilities.

conky for the bar
