fenprace··on Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif and slab-serif, monospace font
I ve been using iosevka for 5+ years. Iosevka Extended is my go-t mono font. It's just clean and cool.

One thing I definitely love is it's easy to access. It has been packed for many package managers. I can just brew install or yay -S to get it.

fenprace··on Born Against, or why hobby programming communities are against LLM usage
People programme for 2 reasons:

1. Some programme because it’s the one of 2 ways to get the things they want (another way is hiring a team to code for them). Now that they have vibe coding, they’d happily never touch a line of code again. 2. Other people programmes because they just enjoy it. Vibe coding ruins the best part for them. Like telling a foodie, "Good news! I built a robot to eat your food for you."

Most people getting paid to code are probably somewhere in the middle?

But nowadays hand-writing code at work is starting to feel kinda 'illegal'. The manager is gonna ping you just because you fall behind on the company's token waste leaderboard.

Maybe it's just another "hobby should never become job" story?

fenprace··on Xiaomi MiMo Reasoning Model
Mandarin speaker here. Literally, Yes. Xiaomi means 'little rice'. But in reality when people say xiaomi, they always refer to another kind of crop, foxtail millet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtail_millet). It is a traditional food and still very common in China and other place in Asia.
