  • Symmetric Variables

    From dingo@46:1/140 to all on Thu Mar 2 11:18:00 2017
    I enjoy variables that are symmetric, that is, for monospace fonts, are the same length, and provide symmetry in their meaning. Here are some favorites:

    incoming, outgoing
    reader, writer
    username, password
    send, recv
    client, server
    create, update
