Sunday 5 | God Save the King, making geniuses at home and the best font for your code editor
hey there,
you didn't think i'd forget right?
funny anecdote before we start - I told my 15 year old brother that I owned his domain name.
his reply to me was: "what's that?"
naturally, i tried explaining to him what the ownership of a domain means etc...
his response was quite telling: "oh so it's like an nft right?"
make of that what you will. i just had a good laugh.
π In Memorian

I'd like to take this moment to pay my respects to the iconic monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. She was a remarkable woman who had a lasting impact to everyone on earth.
May her son have her wisdom and warmth. God save the King.
Kudos to apple for such a great image and gesture.
π§ Making geniuses at home
A Hungarian educational psychologist created a blueprint on how to make geniuses at home. And then proceeded to test his theory on his 3 children.
The results speak for themselves - check out this youtube short to see what his daughters achieved.
πΈπ¬ Singapore on the offensive
Singapore on the other hand doesn't have enough time to create all the geniuses it wants at home.
So they're aggressively inviting all the smartest people in tech and academia to move in:
Singapore is launching a new program to proactively recruit the world's top scientific and technical talent

βοΈ Objectively terrible programming font

Let me introduce to you Monocraft: A programming font based on the typeface used in Minecraft.
You either cringed or cried in joy after seeing that sweet sweet font. Make work more fun! Type with minecraft. All you need now is creeper sounds for music to get into deep flow.
π§ Thought for the week
I'd like to leave you with this beautiful quote
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Till next week!
