Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

@JenWojcik I’m torn on whether this is better or worse than those who put books backwards on their shelves, so the spines face inward, for purposes of cleanliness and order.

Obviously, those who do both need medical intervention and most likely someone to read them stories before bed.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"

@pauline Hey, Campus Magazine’s December 2008 issue included me as a “Fashion Do,” and I wasn’t even out yet. 😜

@stevestreza It increasingly feels weird to me how much value tech companies assign to the creation of a user account. So many accounts created, mostly just to reduce the friction of upselling users to premium subscriptions later.

I think if I were to launch a new iOS product today, I’d focus on making the signed-out experience as good as possible, and the premium experience worth the minimal drag of Apple’s subscription tooling.

@mayoff @timonus This is exactly why I used to prefer to start with the header diffs and then dig into the docs.

Apple added CGPath boolean operations in iOS 16, macOS 13, etc. Awesome! Why was I not informed???

Documented in the header file, but not in the docset.

it’s really interesting how all of my friends who have been caught up in the tech industry layoffs this week have fit into one or more of three categories:

- over the age of 40
- something other than a cisgender man
- somehow involved in advocacy for inclusive corporate culture

i’m not surprised, just disappointed. and tired.

@grumpygamer You’ve just described exactly how I ended up a software developer in the first place. 😊

@pauline honestly, given my quirks, … I have absolutely no idea what you’re suggesting. 😇

@pauline I just read Player of Games a few weeks ago; you remember correctly.

I love the notion of a temporary transing, if only because of how many eggs it would crack. That’s the best sort of mess.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
