Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code
Neon is the only one that I think is passable. The rest are a bit too stylized for code. The texture healing is a great idea though, I would love for that to be common.

I think this app is a poop tracker. Tick the days your poops take an extra flush, and then also the days you get a clean release. That should help you track your bowel movements effectively. You're welcome.

Car dependance is a hell of a drug. The fact that urban design can put people in poverty like that is a wild idea.

Technically the number is person's insurance premium over expected natural lifespan. But that number is still going to be lower than medical expenses. Might as well be $0.

Only if you have archived data and use fitting lifecycle policies. 2TB of regular S3 would cost ~$40 which is about 4x the price of Google Drive. That's not even accounting for the data retrieval costs.
