@arstechnica "Sans-serif typefaces are easier to read than their more baroque relatives, particularly on a screen. Additionally, sans-serif fonts are less likely to create problems for people who need to use optical character recognition and text-to-speech tools."
Is there evidence for these claims? The first one certainly isn't consistent with my experience.
@Drkiki *Very Taylor Swift voice*: I knew there'd be Tribbles when you walked in.
@BitterOldPunk Also narthices and Spandices.

In a country where 30% of the population is comprised of white men, 14 of the the 17 GOP committee chairs are white men, while the remaining three are white women.

I had gotten into my head that my parents' first date was "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
I have now learned a fact that conflicts with this theory: the movie came out four years after I was born.
DeWilde exercise 6.6: Draw a Vase Using Hatching and Crosshatching. #MastoArt #drawing #beginner
This was hard! The chapter has been building up to drawing the vase, which I had to fake because my actual vase is transparent; I'm not ready for that Escher-level stuff. Drawing the flowers (the vast majority of the work) seemed thrown in as an afterthought. Why did I have to buy such complicated flowers?

One day I hope I find the one other leftist in rural eastern #Oregon. There's no way I'm the only one.
Finished season 3 of the excellent Umbrella Academy.
I heard a rumor that Aidan Gallagher (Five) has been cast as Miles Vorkosigan.
@boardgamebreakdown Great!

Taught my wife Siva Afi for the first time tonight. She, of course, won 94 - 71.
We were interested in how you came up with the theme and realized you actually fire knife dance! Very remarkable and awesome way of putting together two of your passions.
I want to try to at least get some 3 or 4 player games in before I do my write-up so we will have to teach it to our kids soon.
@BigBurnum Go, although arguably that's no so much a game as a lifestyle choice.

There’s a wee 330 million year old Glabrocingulum gastropod embedded in the mud on the bottom of my boot 🐚

It's not surprising that this so-called "AI" product also involves exploited labor (exposing poorly paid people to traumatic content at high velocity), but it is still another thing to have it documented like this. Thank you @perrigo for this reporting.

@cypnk It's been pretty normal since March of 2020.
@spencer @cartocalypse I've heard the latter situation described as "passed by value, but the value is a reference".
The difference is that f(a) can modify the object to which a refers, but it can't cause a to point to a different object.
