Life goal - finding something to be as passionate in life as this man is about crispy text.

Imagine saying something as innocuous as “I’ll send you a PDF” to this guy and then getting a 2-hour lecture in response…

What PDF says to me isn't quality, but uniformity, as in it'll look the same no matter what device or software you're using to view it, even if it's a sheet of paper instead of a screen. (I know this isn't actually the case, but as I understand it, it's how it

“I asked someone to send me a PDF and all I got was this lousy bit map” - would make a great t-shirt.

Brailsford’s eyesight is better than mine, he can use xterm at the default font size!

This man needs a 40” ultrawide so he can truly enjoy a good typeface at scale

Reminded of a similar issue we had with old mechanical, piping, and electrical drawings, the kind that were literally 'blueprints'. They had been photographed onto microfische and the originals worn out/lost. Taking the microfische cards and having them scanned (causing even more loss of quality).

I got worse: an Excel sheet with a picture pasted inside it.

This is gold. I've tried to explain to people at work about different types of PDFs for years.

He clearly has strong views on PDFs, it's funny because it reminds me of me but explaining formats for photography and how to preserve quality. God i hate when they send photos via social media without using .zip or .rar and all the photos gets ultra compressed.

Every time I watch a video by Dr. Brailsford, Phd, I add a new life regret …. That I didn’t meet him when I was 17 and learn everything from him.

This professor is positively the best you feature. His enthusiasm and his ability to explain complex technical concepts in a simple way is unmatched.

I'm in a completely different field, and when the Professor states "if you want a straight line, you just say Line()" he is 100% talking to my soul and speaking the truth I have wanted to shout into so many faces.

Yesss! Professor is using Alpine, one of the best emailers out there. You should make some videos on the awesome power of terminal-based utilities.

Prof Brailsford you're a very brave man pronouncing PNG as "ping" around these parts...

i think i could listen to him talk about literally anything and find it interesting just because of his delivery

This was a joy to watch! I respect people like him very much. Being genuinely interested in something and actually putting the time in to learn about its ins and outs. Never mind the fact that he uses Linux with a bunch of open terminals, that's just the cherry on top!
