Only if the letters have thickness. If they are just 2 dimensional lines (which is the minimal information to construct a letter), you’ll have to shrink it to infinity into a single point.

Believe it or not, there are shapes for which this isn’t possible, like most letters of the Latin alphabet

It’s neuter in greek, even though “machine” is feminine, cause the greek word is like “washer” instead of “washing machine”. Although I think you have better things to ponder about when writing greek.

- Comment on What to learn next, Swift or Rust 10 months ago:
Don’t get me wrong, Swift is OSS and there are things you can do with it apart from front-end dev, but there are usually better options out there for those other things. For example if I want an HTTP server, I’d choose JS, Kotlin, Rust, etc.
- Comment on What to learn next, Swift or Rust 10 months ago:
Swift has little to no use outside the apple ecosystem, and even if you are currently using Apple, you have to consider your targets as well. Writing in Swift means your code will only be usable by other Apple users, which is canonically a rather small fraction of technology users. Rust on the other hand is multiplatform and super low level, there’s very few other languages out there that can match the potential of applications of rust code. Thus you will, in time, be introduced to many other technologies as well, like AI, low level programming, web, integrations between languages, IoT, those are only a few of all the possibilities. On the other hand, even if Swift has a much more mature ecosystem, it’s still only good for creating UIs in all things Apple, which is pretty telling; Apple is not willing to put in the time and effort to open it’s language to other fields, because it sees no value in them being the ones providing the tooling for other purposes. They pretty much only want people to code web apps for them, and Swift delivers just fine for that. So if your current purpose is making Apple UIs, you could learn Swift, but be warned that either you’ll be doing that your whole life or will eventually be forced to change languages again.
Then again, most languages nowadays aren’t that different from each other. I can code in a truckload of languages, not because I actually spent time making something coherent and complete with each one of them, but because I know some underlying concepts that all programming languages follow, like OOP, or functional programming, and whatever those entail. If you learn those you will not be afraid to switch languages on a whim, because you’ll know you can get familiar with any of them within a day.

BASED!
Companies that put extra unnecessary incentives to preorders only to never actually deliver something good on those orders deserve this, if not worse.

C# isn’t that difficult to learn. Don’t be overwhelmed by languages or frameworks, they aren’t so different from each other.
