Synth genius Wendy Carlos studied physics & #music at Brown & Columbia. She helped develop the first Moog synthesizer & her 1968 classical album Switched-On Bach went platinum. She brought music & tech together & composed soundtracks for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Tron & more.
Carlos was assigned male at birth & transitioned to female. Unfortunately, many journalists focus more on her gender than her accomplishments that changed music forever. wendycarlos.com #history

Glad <dialog> focus is finally being implemented/defined in a reasonable way after a torturous years long, largely pointless, discussion.
“1. Make the dialog focusing steps look at sequentially focusable elements instead of any focusable element.
2. Make the dialog element itself get focus if it has the autofocus="" attribute set.
3. Make the dialog element itself get focus as a fallback instead of focus being reset to the body element.”

Let's hop into the #Thunderbird Time Machine for a look back at Thunderbird 3.0!
Released on December 8, 2009, v3.0 introduced a Migration Assistant to let you easily activate new features (like Smart Folders and a redesigned Toolbar) or stick with the old ones.
Thing is, I'm looking at that UI and it totally doesn't /feel/ like it was 14 years ago. Feels like it a couple years at best. So familiar. Where's the time gone!?

"A third laid-off Google employee told Insider that a team midway through an off-site at the Chicago office discovered that two of their team members had been laid off when they were unable to badge into the office with the rest of the group."
Companies act like this to people and then folks get offended that employees don't feel like giving their employers 2-weeks notice and putting themselves at risk anymore.

1.2 *million* year old workshop for making cutting tools (hand axes) from obsidian found in Ethiopia. Until now it has been the consensus that making tools from obsidian was rare until the comparatively recent Middle Stone Age (mesolithic).
This was long before modern humans (homo sapiens) emerged, so this was a trained process by one of our ancestor hominins.
