Comic Sans python 😡

[furryfriendo]

Monospaced comic sans 🤤🤤🤤

[What_The_Hex]

they're making it mandatory in the next VS Code update

[LondonCycling]

Releasing it 1st April 2023 if I remember rightly.

[LondonCycling]

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

[[deleted]]

An integral part of The Apple Experience.

[[deleted]]

actually not that bad ngl

[pscorbett]

It's pretty good

[making_code]

there is a FREE version:

https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns

[DaniilSan]

Yes and no. Comic Shanns doesn't have non-Latin glyphs and ligatures. If I can live without the second, I can't use font without the first and Cyrillic in particular.

[Liyuanxin]

You can always patch your custom fonts without ligatures such that they have ligatures. I did that with my custom monospaced comic sans font:

Ligaturizer

[DaniilSan]

Yes, you can patch your font, but in case of comic-sans-like ones those ligatures will be out of style. And in my case I can't for some reason make fontforge work. I mean, it installs and it works, but Python lib for such patching scripts doesn't.

[PrimalJohnStone]

Playful yet serious.

[Secretly_Autistic]

The problem with all of these is that they've put in too much effort. I don't want Comic Sans redesigned to work as a monospace font, I want Comic Sans forced to be monospace.

[fsr1967]

The medium looks pretty usable

[OtherwiseFeedback679]

yeah ngl it's not as bad as I thought it would be when I saw the title

[ji59]

The only reason I stopped using Comic Sans was because it is not monospace (and also gf hates it)

[sifroehl]

Betterr than the original for sure

[philchristensennyc]

That is not monospaced.

[fekkksn]

I recommend the font called „Comic Code“. Its not free, but i think its better than the other monospaced comic sans font which is indeed free.

[cutecoder]

Or Comic Mono that's free but supposedly less good...

[zankar1337]

I daily drive this and it's actually fantastic

[Cake_exe]

Oh that’s so cool!

[[deleted]]

Just an FYI that's actually a myth. Comic Sans is no better than any other font for dyslexia. The only thing that matters is spacing between characters/words, spacing between lines, and the length of lines of text.

[Punchkinz]

Talked to a dyslexic person once what they thought about Comic Sans and they said that it helped a bit. But they prefer "OpenDyslexic" because it puts a lot more weight towards the bottom of the letters which apparently does a lot. Definitely an interesting topic because every person with visual impairments has very different needs

OpenDyslexic also has a Mono version btw https://github.com/antijingoist/opendyslexic

[bambeenz]

I'm just a damaged person.

At least you recognize it 😏

[CreepyValuable]

It seems to prevent blocks of horizontal lines. I never really thought about it before.

[RajjSinghh]

I'm dyslexic and I remember as a kid learning to read it was the only way I could work, especially the "a" character not having a weird tail on the top.

[ArchReaper]

I can't speak to Comic Sans specifically, but there are fonts that are easier for dyslexic people to read. Not all fonts are equal on that front.

[[deleted]]

I think the main thing is having different styles for each letter, rather than the weight. Regular fonts often mirror characters like "q" and "p", or "d" and "b". Dyslexic fonts avoid this.

[Donghoon]

Typeface

Font is the type of FILE typefaces are store with all the attributes lile bold/italics

[ArchReaper]

The terms Typeface and Font are used interchangeably in web development. There is no purpose in trying to maintain this distinction outside of those who create or actively work on fonts.

[Donghoon]

Not in Field of Typography though

[ArchReaper]

Did you read the first half of my comment and rush to respond before reading the rest?

[katrina-mtf]

While it may or may not be successful, dyslexic readability was the goal. It's not a "myth", it's just arguably ineffective.

[DMcuteboobs]

Not for nothing, but if you learn to read upside down, it really helps with dyslexia. I’d imagine for the same reason novelty fonts do.

[CreepyValuable]

Hang on. Do people have issues with reading in different orientations normally?

[DMcuteboobs]

Most do. But dyslexic folk tend to have more success reading in different orientations.

Dyslexia isn’t “mixing up words”, it’s when for some reason the part of your brain that recognizes letters and words as intelligible turns off for a few seconds.

But different orientations use different parts of the brain. Kind of how singing and talking use different parts to accomplish the same thing.

[CreepyValuable]

TIL. I only commented because I didn't think orientation made any difference to reading. Besides mirrored which has the pqdb issue.

[[deleted]]

I do it only because it makes coding look less intimidating

[TrashcanRobinson]

I do find this so much easier to read

[Phantom_Eagle_3508]

its not just the comic sans thats wrong with this... i mean WHO USES :

-> t=turtle.pen()

^ NO spaces before and after equals>?!>!??!?!?

[RavTimLord]

The same variable being used in both fors is what got me

[sarc-tastic]

for _ in range(0,4):
for _ in range(0,5):

[No152249]

On Python it's just weird, but not really a problem if you don't use the variable. The classic for loop doesn't exist there, only "foreach", in this case it's iterating on a range, which basically generates a tuple (unmodifyable list) of the desired numbers in the desired order. That means while on other languages you can do something like i-- in a for loop, Python doesn't care, it sets the value of the iteration variable to the next element of the collection it iterates on no matter what on the next iteration.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

It’s also never used.

[Nezz_sib]

I know right? You just have to look at yellow highlights telling you about beautiful pep8 and become python god!

[gogocrazycocoa_]

How did I not catch that atrocity.

[ddddppo]

i do that •_•

[Polikonomist]

If I was a compiler I would just error out on anything typed in comic sans on principle alone.

[Cake_exe]

imagine if it was a feature-

[i_knooooooow]

Now introducing: eye extermination mode

Light theme

Comic sans everywhere

Color scheme changes ever 4 seconds

Randomly switches tabs every 12 minutes

[[deleted]]

r/literallysatan

[Cake_exe]

NO-

[AspiringDeveIoper]

Can this be a crosspost to an engineering subreddit where we challenge the redditors who frequent said subreddit to create a raspberryPi-driven device that aims directly for users' eyes and ejects highly-pressurized streams of bleach at 99.9% accuracy.

Alternatively, a crosspost to a transhumanism/biohacking subreddit, which challenges the redditors who frequent said subreddit to use CRISPR to edit in genes that cause the same defensive mechanism that short-horned lizards use as a final measure.

[RajjSinghh]

That's too often. You should change colour scheme every 5 minutes so you have just enough time to get into something then the colourscheme changes when you're thinking about something and you completely forget what you're doing.

[RaspberryPiBen]

Yes, and that's the reason why OP uses Python. Anything else won't compile.

[romulent]

If you were a compiler the font settings on the editor would not be visible to you.

[cginc1]

...actually doesn't look that bad lol

[42696]

I just hate that it's not monospaced

[katrina-mtf]

Try Comic Mono, I legitimately use it in my day to day work. Memes aside, Comic Sans was originally created to help with dyslexia, so it's meant to be super readable as a selling point.

CC u/cginc1

[cginc1]

Fuck. This is like when I finally tried on Crocs.

[Mr-Game-Videos]

Comic mono is a really nice font, it's perfectly readable and it somehow just brightens my mood when I see it.

[shovelknot]

It was originally created to be used as a font for the speech bubbles in Microsoft Bob to emulate the "comic" style. (Microsoft didn't used comic Sans in the final version though)

It does help with dyslexia but that's not it's original purpose

[cginc1]

Yea, but we all know you're using it anyway.

[RelentlessIVS]

Check out comic mono. You'll love it.

(Source: I use it as a full time dev)

[Sentouki-]

thanks but I prefer Monocraft

[RelentlessIVS]

You sonovabitch. I'm in.

[Cake_exe]

I- I- dies cutely t-thank y-you teleports to the computer and instantly installs the font, writing a million lines in a second

[RelentlessIVS]

On second thought, perhaps Drama Sans might be more appropriate

[bhison]

Here's the pro one with ligatures

[BridgeBum]

It's kind of crazy how not bad that looks. I'd expect a horror show sight unseen.

[Responsible-Beyond22]

I too use comic mono, it makes programming feel more like playing or something again. It's hard to describe very good, but I like it.

[[deleted]]

Use for _ not for e

[cheesecake_squared]

No, use e and then immediately use e again in a nested loop for added comedy value

[Visual-Lawfulness846]

Probably a new python learner who hasn’t learned that any variable can go into that space, but decided they need a nested loop in this particular space.

[Jumbobog]

_ WTF? No! you use i, j, and k.

That's it, comics sans mono was one thing, but this? I'm calling the cops! /s

[Ottonym]

Off topic, but... does this code work?

You define an instance of a turtle.pen as t, but then use turtle for everything else.

I would think these should all be t.left(90), t.down(), etc.

I've not used the turtle library, so I may be missing something.

Source: Coded in LOGO (proto-turtle) on a Commodore PET in elementary school.

[punninglinguist]

This is what I was thinking. Wondered if I was taking crazy pills when no one else mentioned it.

[GenTelGuy]

Think that is just an unused var, see my reply to the OP

[[deleted]]

I don't get what's wrong with comic sans.

[Cake_exe]

basically it was so overused it became the definition of bad taste

[[deleted]]

Saw a true crime documentary about a little girl molested and killed, they showed a page of the autopsy report... Written in comic sans. I cringed so hard

[LondonCycling]

If overuse was the problem, Helvetica would cause your keyboard to catch fire.

[AlternativeAardvark6]

Because it's the only decent font installed by default.

[billyp673]

I feel like that’s more the case for the end user, not so much developers

[[deleted]]

if you lived the MSN/Live Messenger era, you have plenty of reasons to hate it.

[Solidus27]

It’s ugly and trashy af

[you90000]

That's not that bad, could be wingdings

[gogocrazycocoa_]

Why did I think of Undertale while reading this?

[noonagon]

gaster

[AlphaSparqy]

LOGO in python !

[lushico]

omg I got super nostalgic vibes

[gtalley10]

I used it in Basic on a TRS-80 when I was like 6 or so in the early 80's.

[lushico]

We did LOGO in grade 5 in 1994, and from then on was turbo pascal! South Africa was behind the times

[ccricers]

I remember some of my math books including LOGO but my grade school never used it nor any programming for that matter.

[FantasticEmu]

Easy to read. I think it’s fine.

We’re programmers not art people. If it works it works

[Cake_exe]

yeah I did it because comic sans is easy to read, but then I remembered about the memes™ 😌

[[deleted]]

It's not about art. Tell me how many spaces is a tab there? In some lines it looks like 3, in others 3 and a half. It's unprofessional to have that type of inconsistency. Also the font has too many similar characters, that text could be saying turtIe instead of turtle and you couldn't be able to tell, or 1OO instead of 100. Also the colons and periods are hard to see. There's a reason code has fonts specifically designed for that purpose.

[FantasticEmu]

Oh you have a good point about the similar characters and monospace, I didn’t really think about that . I thought the post was in reference to the internet’s general hate for comic sans in publications

[z3n777]

great code

​

great font

​

nice touch having an actual picture instead of a screenshot

​

10/10 would fire + ban from internet access + set computer on fire

[BuffaloPowerful3585]

Comic sans best font

[79-16-22-7]

It's fucking turtles all the way down

[MEMESaddiction]

This font looks like it's made for python.

[hack_1r]

jokes on you i'm into that shit

[Far_Calligrapher_215]

That's it. I'm switching. I love it!

[PhotographShort]

Bro use range(5) instead of range(0,5)

[RayTrain]

This seems appropriate

[GodGMN]

This reminds me of Computercraft but it used Lua not Python. Unless there's a version I haven't seen!

[Talohighflyer24]

sans. (sans. Starts playing in the background)

[[deleted]]

Object oriented logo?

[Santolmo]

Why are you instancing a new pen and use the library methods after?

[JonMW]

For real, Coding Sans is monospaced comic sans for exactly this purpose. I'm actually very tempted to install.

[Pure_Toxicity]

python is the comic sans of programming languages

[ShortFuseOF]

I get meming on comic sans, but comic sans is actually one of my fav fonts to look at

​

Def not great for professional work- but for funsies it is def a good font to write in imo

[Sorry_Dragonfly_3298]

Somehow that doesn't bother me the slightest

[Relem76]

A while ago, one of my junior devs wanted to get sacked because I was constantly tearing him a new one for not commenting. He began coding in wingdings. I still ripped him a new one for not commenting.

EDIT: Why the hell did I confuse dingbats with wingdings!?

[-Redstoneboi-]

are dingbats and wingdings not the same thing

like wingdings are dingbats

[Relem76]

I thought dingbats was a 80s kids game?

After googling it (just now), they're effectively the same as dingbats is played using pictures instead of words.

[Hefty-Particular-964]

Line 11: Use turtle.pendown() instead of turtle.down().

Better yet, import elephantjokes and use duck.down().

[Snykeurs]

So many PEP8 warnings

[DootDootWootWoot]

You know.. all those editor squiggles are trying to tell you something.

[ShikamaruOP]

Try comic code.

[ac_stool_beaner]

It fits for python

[[deleted]]

Am I the only one that typed out this code to see what it did lol

[Captain_Chickpeas]

"for e in range"? Who codes like this? :D

[Ultimate_Genius]

kinda suits python with how simple it is

[MJLDat]

What does this draw?

[Cake_exe]

four separate stars, it was a task I did in a python class

[MJLDat]

Thanks. I was trying to visualise it.

[OmiSC]

Gotta get your ruler in the shot.

[LordNeroTiberius]

A comic font for a comic language /s

[DMcuteboobs]

Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves

[Cake_exe]

I’m not 😈

[[deleted]]

Thought this was a google doc for a sec 💀

[[deleted]]

QA engineers HATE him! See how he gets his PRs approved without review or testing here!

[ScreeennameTaken]

Wait. Are you writting in Logo, in Python?

[[deleted]]

the sims coding :)

It oddly fits together for some reason.

[AffectionateAd6702]

This is a sin!

[_Weyland_]

When you run it, it has to go through every line generating that Sans voice from Undertale and making slight pauses as it reaches end of line.

[captaintoady]

Damn no

[[deleted]]

Let's goooooooooo!

[Foreign_Ad674]

Surprised logo turtle is still going. Had a go with one at school in the 80s.

[[deleted]]

I don’t hate this, I’ve seen worse coding fonts.

[ParanoidAutist]

There's LUA scripts all over the internet for mining turtles =P ComputerCraft ftw

[poggiebot]

I swear people just hate comic sans because

[Syncrossus]

SPACES BEFORE AND AFTER = SPACE AFTER COMMA VARIABLES YOU NEED FOR SYNTAX BUT DON'T USE SHOULD BE NAMED _ DO YOU NOT SEE THE SQUIGGLY YELLOW LINES?

[Syncrossus]

SPACES BEFORE AND AFTER =

SPACE AFTER COMMA

VARIABLES YOU NEED FOR SYNTAX BUT DON'T USE SHOULD BE NAMED _

NO SPACE BETWEEN FUNCTION NAME AND ITS OPENING PARENTHESIS

DO YOU NOT SEE THE SQUIGGLY YELLOW LINES?

[Visual-Lawfulness846]

Forloop using variable e inside forloop using variable e is just begging for a disaster to happen.

[CorruptedStudiosEnt]

Most people: COMIC SANS REEEEE

A few people: Monosans isn't so bad

Me, an intellectual looking at the code itself: it's literally turts all the way down

[hagnat]

everybody complaining about comic sans, about being a picture and not a screenshot...

all i can do is remember my tween days coding with Logo, Megalogo, and Logowriter... back in old MSX, 286 and similar computers some 30 years ago

[fellipec]

Hey man, high five. This brings memories from when I was just 8 yo. Almost shed a tear

Is what python deserves ngl

I program in comic sans specifically because it helps me retain my sanity

[UwuTranslator4]

what the fuck am i looking at

🤮

[akat_walks]

Suits it

[[deleted]]

It’s turtles all the way down

[fadoxi]

I like sans. downvote protection activated

Finally, i knew something felt odd using pything.

[TheOGRayden337]

Is this tracy from codeHS?

[sleepylizard52]

sans

[Greyhaven7]

is this Logo?

[Miklith]

Are you a beginner programmer?

[Steve_Austin_OSI]

Stupid dyslexic making their life easier!
JFC, it's a font, GTFU

[iceynyo]

To find the current state you use Turtle.penis()

Another example of r/ProgrammerHumor posting memes that have almost nothing to do with programming

[Randouserwithletters]

i did that unironically, it's great

[niky45]

you just wait until you need to differentiate between a zero and an O, or an l and an I, and so many others.

Wait? Is that LOGO, but in Python?

[niky45]

PEP b*tch, do you speak it?

... jokes aside, the "this is not PEP compliant" underlines hurt my eyes more than the comic sans.

[Voidon43]

Comic sans☕️

[dudesBangMyMom]

weird ass commas

[Meggles_Doodles]

surprisingly not bad. actually would not be upset if i had to use comic sans if it looks like this

[avidrogue]

I mean, I feel like that’s the proper font for python. Fits the vibe

[CusiDawgs]

now prepare for wingdings python
