@whilo This PR makes some site-wide styling changes. There's some very minor wording & formatting changes to the invariant post. I'll submit a separate PR for invariant-specific wording/flow changes - since I'm not an expert in the subject matter, it may be helpful to have me go through the post to make it a bit more accessible. N.B. the PR is against feature/invariant-post.

The source code changes look good to me, but somehow my bundler is broken, so I need to fix it before I can give feedback on the layout changes. Comfortaa looks good to me as a font.

or [BitTorrent](http://www.bittorrent.org/) are also possible.

I finally took some time to look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_in_English up. It is regularly driving me a bit crazy, it is even worse than in German, but I think I can at least now see who to stick to one consistent style.

Yeah, I don't have much of a handle on it. I think my heuristic reduces to something like "capitalize everything that's longer than two letters" ;)

About the bundler thing - yeah, mine was broken too, or maybe I forgot how to use it. I ended up manually installing the gems pixyll depends on (github-pages & jekyll-compose). Not a big Ruby guy.

I find this the best example to capture the importance of invariants in constraining the dynamics of the world, but maybe it is too academic. It is definitely not something that is well-known by computer scientists.
