You can commission a custom typeface (or a modification of an existing one from their library) and get the rights to them, so they're yours. It's expensive up front, but you own it after.
3x5 like done by Starting Strength continues to work well for beginners looking for strength. After you tapped out the easy gains, you can use a periodized program for body building described by "the science" if you wish, but can do more useful weights because you are stronger.
We had to drop hatch for now, because it does not work well with uv's lockfiles. Someone opened an issue here: https://github.com/pypa/hatch/issues/1886. We use bare uv for now.
English is more likely than Mandarin, because lots of people (including the mainland Chinese working in sectors that interface with the outside world) can speak some English, but very few people outside China speak any Mandarin.
Yeah, I also got an ODAC combo (amp and DAC sandwiched in an enclosure) in continuous use since it released way back when. The only annoyance is that there's probably something wrong with the USB cable, as it loses connection depending on how you twist it, so I may accidentally strike it and then spend a few minutes wiggling the connectors to get it back. The Micro USB connector choice didn't age too well, so I can't easily find a replacement with chokes :)
You can use the Python library fontTools, which comes with a command line tool called `fonttools varLib`. Prerequisites: 1. you have a so called Designspace file which tells the tool where in the design space the fonts are and 2. The fonts have compatible glyph outlines and font features.
For the former, get a random font project like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cantarell-fonts/-/blob/master..., install the Python tool fontmake in a venv, and run `fontmake -m Cantarell.desigbspace -o ttf-interpolatable`. In a new subdirectory, you'll find a new Designspace file and TTFs. Switch them out and edit the DS file to make sense. Good luck.
For the latter, you are probably out of luck because static fonts are usually compiled in an outline-incompatible way and your only options are to fix them yourself in fontforge or such or ask the original vendor, who is probably going to laugh at you and demand money.
The books "The Barbell Prescription" and "Practical Programming for Strength Training" contain a lot of info on how to branch out from the novice program. The latter contains a small section on lifting for sports, while on his podcast Rippetoe emphasizes that you do general strength development for any sport and spend the rest of the time practising that sport.
I was at a Starting Strength seminar recently and the coach explicitly said that the beginner's program is not the end-all, so I'm not sure where that criticism is coming from?
My favorite introduction to this is the book "The Barbell Prescription", together with "Basic Barbell Training, 3rd Edition". They got me out of just getting sweaty and tired in the gym to actually training and increasing my strength.
