See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.

[–] namingthingsiseasy@programming.dev 114 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.

And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks

Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 4 points 2 months ago

Oh, so that's what those Python notebooks are that I've heard people talk about!

That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!

You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating

[–] MostlyBlindGamer@rblind.com 2 points 2 months ago

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).

I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

Unless the OCR were made for this font, probably yes.

Pretty sure you can use the 𝓾𝓷𝓲𝓬𝓸𝓭𝓮 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And then maybe you could use something like #define in C to map them back to valid characters? Not sure if there’s a good way to do that in other higher level languages.

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You could always write your own program that runs before the compiler. Simple character replace for those unicodes to ascii

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Yes. The "problem".

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click "trust this project".

Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs
