Marcin's attention to details, showcasing works that demonstrate the craftsmanship in what is typically considered mundane, is really amazing!
I’m a simple man. I see a post from Marcin about typography or keyboards and I upvote. He has such a passion for this and I’ve always loved his storytelling.
So pleasant to see elegance in such seemingly mundane places. Someone cared and took a little extra time. Bravo to them!
What a lovely example to end on.<p>Personally, I (guiltily) love using ol'fashioned contractions.
I wish it were more normalised.
Lovely photographs as well, great composition and the bold editing.
Woah, I've never seen a 24x2 HD44780 before! Only 16x2 and 20x4.
I thought maybe to account for the origin of italics, it could be that it's easier to slant in that direction while writing left-to-right than the other way.<p>However, when people write Yiddish (which has a right-to-left script) they slant the same way[^1], whereas you'd expect the opposite if it were easier, so maybe it is just arbitrary.<p>[^1]: An example of Yiddish handwriting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_orthography#/media/File:Letter_from_Ber_Borochov_to_Shmuel_Niger_1913_p2.png" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_orthography#/media/Fil...</a>
