Intel’s new font for low-vision developers is causing design drama for coders

The curly braces came in for some attention here on HN a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35925637

I don't hate them, but in languages where curly braces significantly outnumber parentheses and square brackets, it takes some getting used to. I kind of wonder what would have happened if they'd left curly braces more conventional and changed parentheses and square brackets to distinguish them? I suspect it's better to have one pair of glyphs that stands out rather than making two other unconventional.

ETA: also caret left/right.

Sorry, I don't wish to spend time on a page that auto plays a video.

You didn't miss much. It's one of those "we took s reddit comment and two facts and turned that into a medium to carry ads" articles.

Ya I was thinking "wow it's really hard to process information with 1/3 of my screen taking up with fixed video of faces talking"

Right-click, uncheck the menu item "Loop".

you can disable autoplay for all websites in browser settings

High speed gif seems like a suboptimal way to demo a font.

It's not even the font in question, some other random font they're trying to sell I guess.
