hard disagree. i use monospace fonts with ligatures for programming. primarily i get things like -> rendered as a full arrow or == connected or ... as an actual ellipsis. it's subtle but it's nice.
I've also seen nice use of ligature for markdown formatting.
the idea that ligatures shouldn't be used with monospace fonts would also break monospace in multiple languages as some languages require ligatures to display single characters correctly.
from the article: "Being able to debug any past production code is a huge step up..."
this is pretty epic. but it also means you need to keep track of what version of your code ran every past workflow because you need to run it the exact same way when you replay it, right? Is there an easy way to track in workflow metadata or something which version of a worker (commit sha or something) ran a workflow?
also i love the beginning section about history. It would be awesome if every article I read about some new technology started with a reference to how whatever-it-is really grew out of PARC or bell labs or some research paper written pre-1980.
this is a bit dense but i hope this meta-study results in some focused research on foot ware like vibram five fingers. there are some inferences one could make from this review, and despite the closer-to-barefoot aspect of some shoes, any constraints and added protection from the ground are going to have an impact on how we walk and it would cool explore and optimize the balance between protection for the foot and taking full advantage of its anatomical function.
