I had the same clever idea once. Deprecation warning, and it would (by the power of a C-Macro) auto-turn off when the relase x was reached, with louder and louder warnings before.
One day I came back from holidays. I had just broken a big go-live where the release number passed x. Date missed, next possibility in a few weeks. The team was pissed.
Yes they COULD have fixed the warnings. But breaking the go live was quite of of proportion for not doing so.
That with its pixel art is styled so beautifully and so hard to read at the same time. Couldn't read it at all. (It's not an eye vision problem, reading pixel fonts just is quite taxing on the brain).
It's pixel-art styled but not pixel-art arted (is that even a word?). The font does not cleanly align on pixel boundaries on non-HiDPI screens thus it appears blurry. In fact, the whole website appears blurry.
Folks, when making pixel-art styled stuff, ensure they are actually sharp on bix-pixels screen. It's not pixel-art if it's sharp only on your macbook.
I found it hard too. Perhaps the difference with the other people responding is the size the font is rendered. On my screen, the distance between the top of a "d" and the bottom of a "y" in the body text is 7mm. That corresponds to font size 18 in Word, or 22px in the browser, so basically a chapter heading.
I read on a 16” MacBook Pro. Size and display quality were not an issue.
I could have read it entirely with the aliased font, but it triggered me just enough for me to disable it (I’m doing web dev these days, so it took me ~5s; if it would have taken me more I would not have done it).
btw, "Made in Germany" was introduced in 1887 as a warning label so British consumers could distinguish cheap German knockoffs from British products.
We quickly improved product quality, and suddenly "Made in Germany" was a sign of quality. The same happened with Japanese products, with Korean products and the same will happen with China.
If you can get any kind of spaceship up to speeds to reach other stars within reasonable time - you've got an amazing weapon. Just ram into something at full speed. Ok, if you have enough energy to correct course to aim, only.
Gemini (the protocol, no the Google hype) it's close to these contraints, and partially the old Gopher. There's even a Gopher client for J2ME, Pocket Gopher, patched at gopher://hoi.st
My 3D printer has a physical off switch. And it runs Linux - debian - on an embedded ARM board, so I can ssh into the printer etc. (I can even hook up a keyboard and HDMI monitor)
I fear about my filesystem every time I notice the printer is running at night (after a long print job) and I just turn it off without going over to my pc, ssh in and shut down the OS.
Still, it hasn't eaten my filesystem, yet ... ext4 journaling DOES seem to work.
I think it is somewhat ironic that you try to make a point that Chemie is an exception, when it is exactly the sort of example the claim is made from.
Ich and Chemie are pretty similarly pronounced (some people say either with a harder k sound, ik, "kehmee").
Chemie also derives from the Greek χύμεία, so it contains the Chi to make the comparison.
A similar case can also be made for Jesus Christus,
I certainly think Christus' pronunciation starts like crust.
And hey, if you derive the Greek root for it, you get Χριστός, which starts with Chi again.
I think a better case can be made just arguing against mixing alphabets like this.
