This was exactly the point I was making. Thank you.


Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any font preference?


FWIW, this is what I'm seeing: https://imgur.com/a/pbR0SCH


Please stick to a font already in my browser. My network is slow and webpages sometimes get stuck loading; the resources in your page took 40 seconds to load and your font didn't even load yet.


Turning this clause off in your style sheet turns off that awful st ligature:

font-feature-settings: "liga", "dlig";

So just remove that clause from your stylesheet and you'll be rid of that ligature.


I like ligatures when they're used well, but that one is just incredibly distracting.

Shame the advice is to turn them off completely...


Testing a big more, just dropping "dlig" from the feature settings declaration turns off the awful st ligature. So they don't have to 'all' be turned off to get rid of that one. What I don't know is what other ones get turned off by dropping "dlig" from the declaration.


I have no problems with the current one apart from the s and t connecting like that.


Hey @onion2k, this is not a full proof way of getting a job. Every time I see this, I am asking, why should I hire you? If you can give me something extra, more meat, the context for demonstrable skills, then I can talk to you. That's the point I am coming from.

Maybe you should be asking "Am I the target audience for these tweets?"


Hi, I'm the guy that wrote the tweets. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to answer any question.


You said it best. Apt and succint.


@mchahn, please do share when you find it. I really want to read it too.


Why do you think so? Do we all continue to deal with this inefficiencies and cause ourselves untold heartaches?


When I wrote that, my thought was that the trades are one of the few ways left for blue collar workers to work for themselves and not for Capital, and it would be a shame to end that.

Thinking about it some more tho, if you're, say, a plumber and you're any good, you're going to have as much work as you want to take on, and you would have no incentive to participate in such a program. If you're a plumber and you do have incentive to participate, logically you're not any good, and why would I as a client want a bad plumber to fix my pipes?


This is a welcome development and something that was long overdue. Quite a sizeable amount of people today in Nigeria still don't have access to traditional financial solution and services. Well done Joyce and the entire Stellar team.


Hi @coderken,

Thank you for the kind words. Per an opening, please check the about page of my blog, send me an email and I will make introductions.

Once again, thank you. Celestine Omin.


oops, didn't even realized it was you. I hardly check out usernames on HN, I just go for the content because most usernames are usually weird.


I will do well to bring you more stories. You can help vote for this and also share it with your network.
