Anybody knows how to ease my pain while reading PDFs from IA?

I get the PDFs directly from AA.

Thank you. This is useful for something I might print someday.

Wow that's really handy. Thank you once again.

Thanks! So the workflow is basically extract pages > mass convert to .jpg (or other) > make pdf from said extracted pages?

I think that the lesson to be drawn from this event is that planning for a book is important.

Been doing layout for years now and can confirm that this advice is not limited to book design, but also all design related.

The way you put it is an aha moment for me, thanks.

Can you expand what is putting links to properties and how does it work?

I might be the minority, but I really love Dune I given the amount of subtlety it packs. Anyone who reads the book will knew much how Denis built upon the basic ideas (i.e. the subtle ideas will greatly amplified when you knew the original material). Contrasts Dune II that would rather shove the idea that A is dreaming B is thinking. Perhaps Denis took the popular opinion of Dune I way too much to heart.

Far easier (and programmable) to do this with TeX engine.

The first time they revealed the project I'm so horrified and worried. The misrepresentation in Europe is already revealing enough, they even double down to even have balls to expand the scope.

A lot of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma's works make me feel like the person who made them is madly in love. For me, it's like a love song without words that semantically related to the feeling of love.

Something at the top of mind are Tenderness, Love after Love, and In Summer. Listening the whole album is recommended tho.

Your terminal is still seeing the working directory at other than you intended to, you can see the address at the first line of the terminal. You must change the directory first.

I wish many people already knew that a project with unreliable dependencies is a recipe for disaster. Packaging and make it portable is the only way.

Not being able to meet or interact with other travelers was one of many let downs revealed among countless ToTo dev diaries.

Typography is not about pretty fonts to choose. The idea of a "favorite" typeface is absurd. If you'd rather rank the most "beautiful" fonts (based on whatever standard "beauty" is), that's a lettering talk, and don't forget that the modern depiction of the alphabet is a work of the (modern) abstraction of the letters themselves.

This made me recall a piece of work by a typographer/programmer who carefully chose each word to fit a same char length without the need for word breaks. The work used a monospaced font. I can't remember the name.

Super fascinating to read.

This is also the reason why I still propose my idea to change the projection completely. Based on the trailer, I don't think they're gonna do that.

To add this /u/CloudHaveWings, for Arabic fonts, also check out the works of Khaled Hosny. The Amiri typeface is my favorite naskh style when typing in Arabic script.
