I find the whole “corporate blogging about fonts” subculture really funny

"pyx" is their first commercial offering: https://astral.sh/pyx
I agree though. Hope this is successful and they keep building awesome open-source tools.
Why the “y” look so wrong in the special font.

Yeah, probably a good idea to remove it since i use github everyday and have no idea what a toast is .

Taking away Emacs may just lead you to procrastinate on something different, not work on something productive. So, I'm not sure that this is a tool problem or a personal problem.

Would be fun to weight each language by average number of stars, but normalize by repository count.
Data analysys without adjusting groups by popularity is a bit lame.
What statistic are you proposing? Number of repos / avg stars ?
Do we really hold editorials to the same standard as the rest of the news? These are opinion pieces, you should expect bias, no?
Such a bitchy blog post
Yeah it died off sadly. Had so many good news discussions back then. Still miss the buzz of downloading a new batch of messages.
I used Gmane[1] to access mailing lists as newsgroups, which I've always thought was a much better fit.
Alas as with all good things that was shut down also.
News.gmane.io is up. I use it daily to track a few projects.
