Barlow

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Barlow?query=barlow#glyphs

Barlow is a slightly rounded, low-contrast, grotesk type family. Drawing from the visual style of the California public, Barlow shares qualities with the state's car plates, highway signs, busses, and trains.

This is the Normal family, which is part of the superfamily along with Semi Condensed and Condensed, each with 9 weights in Roman and Italic.

Encode Sans

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Encode+Sans?query=encode+sans#about

Encode Sans is a versatile workhorse sans-serif superfamily ready for all kinds of typographic challenges, offering a unique blend of warmth and practicality. Its humanist aspects of simple letterforms and open apertures keep it crisp and legible, while its geometric approach of rounded letters with partially-straightened sides delivers a friendly but precise tone.

It includes 5 widths from Condensed to Expanded, each with 9 weights from Light to Black. To simplify the use of smallcaps in word processors, there are also small-cap versions of each family.

Cabin

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Cabin?query=cabin

Cabin is a humanist sans inspired by Edward Johnston's and Eric Gill's typefaces, with a touch of modernism. Cabin incorporates modern proportions, optical adjustments, and some elements of the geometric sans. It remains true to its roots, but has its own personality.

The Cabin font family comes in two variable fonts, roman and true italic, with a Weight range from Regular to Bold, and a Width range from normal to Condensed. The stroke contrast is almost monolinear, although top and bottom curves are slightly thinned. Counters of the b, g, p and q are rounded, and all are optically adjusted.

Sarabun

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sarabun

Sarabun is an open source multi-script webfont that supports both Latin and Thai. It is the "TH Sarabun New" font

Prompt

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Prompt

Prompt in Thai means “ready,” the same as in English. Prompt is a loopless Thai and sans Latin typeface. The simple and geometric Latin was developed to work harmoniously with the loopless Thai that has wide proportions and airy negative space. It is suitable for both web and print usage, such as magazines, newspapers, and posters.

In general, the attribute selector can target any attribute that's attached to an HTML element. By default, the selector is case sensitive and has a lower specificity than id's and classes.

CSS attribute ends with

Conversely to looking for matched at the start, we can also look at the very end of an attribute's value by useing the $ operator. We'd match something value but not value something. This is especially interesting because we know that files always have a certain extension and by passing the full name into a data-attribute, we'd be able to match elemenets that represent PDF documents like this a[href$="pdf"].

[data-attribute$="value"] {
  /* ... */
}

Besides being super hydrating, coconut oil has the ability to act as a protective layer that sits on top of the skin and locks in moisture, while also preventing transepidermal water loss (where water passes through the skin and evaporates into the air).

I have a set of baseline CSS styles that come with me from project to project. In the past, I'd use a typical CSS reset, but times have changed, and I believe I have a better set of global styles!

Wanting to make use of Ajax is one of the prime reasons for adopting jQuery.

                    function () {
                     alert("error");
                    })

As a software engineer manager, I’ve reflected on the unique behaviors I prioritize. This post will cover the gestalt of my successful onboarding experiences within the first 90 days.

Starting with Having Good Tact

Good tact is the ability to deal with others to maintain good relations and avoid offense. To say and do the right things at the right time, to behave in a way that promotes cooperation and reciprocity.

My go-to’s are to make myself available, never criticize a previous decision, and avoid being standoff-ish.

Be Explicit About Change

I have been known to repeat an expectation numerous times in front of the team. In a room of ten people, I say the “thing” ten times for one person to “get it.” Being specific about change means being explicit. One of the lessons I’ve learned as an engineer manager is being implicit or nuanced is considered cruel to the team.

Change Means Documenting

The Belgian painter René Magritte created some of the most enigmatic and iconic works in Surrealist art.
In 1926 Magritte was commissioned to create the poster above for the popular singer Marie-Louise Van Emelen, better known as Primevère. For more of Magritte’s Art Deco sheet music covers, visit Hyperallergic.

Running Totals

SELECT id,month
 , Amount
 , SUM(Amount) OVER (ORDER BY id) as total_sum
FROM bill

Common Table Expressions

WITH idtempp as (
  SELECT id as id
  FROM id 
  WHERE country = "US"
  AND status = "Y"
)

SELECT *
FROM bill
WHERE id in (SELECT id from idtempp)

Temporary Functions

Temporary functions allow you to modify the data easily without writing huge case statements.

CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION get_gender(type varchar) AS (
   CASE WHEN type = "M" THEN "male"
        WHEN type = "F" THEN "female"
        ELSE "n/a"
   END
)
SELECT 
  name,
  get_gender(Type) as gender
FROM bill
