A man walked into the ladies department. He shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."
"What type of bra? asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquired the man "There is more than one type?".
"Look Around," said the sales lady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size color and material. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras, replied the sales clerk.
Confused, the man asked, "Only three? What are they?"
The saleslady replied "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"
Still confused the man asked, "What is the difference between them?"
The lady said, "It is quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."

A: One to do the reading, one to do the writing, and the other keeps
an eye on the two intellectuals.
Compact camera now: Let's release two versions with 2 different focal length.
Ricoh: GR III and GR IIIx
Leica: hold my beer. Q3 and Q3 43.
You can get the two Ricoh for less than a single Leica.
(at least the Leica has a viewfinder)
@paperdigits I have 3 cameras that don't have a viewfinder. And none of them convinced me. The third one actually I bought it knowingly I didn't like that, to do video (and the screen flips out).
(not mentioning phones)
Librsvg 2.59.1 is out! This is a stable release, with two mitigations for bugs found through oss-fuzz.
Librsvg now tries to catch shapes with coordinates that would overflow Cairo's computations, and avoids rendering them.

I'll backport this and release 2.58.5 too.
Librsvg 2.58.5 is out. A backport of two mitigations for bugs found through fuzz testing.
Ever edit a PDF in MacOS Preview and have it mysteriously go password protected, effectively locking you out?
It's been a bug for at least two years, and the workaround I've found is to edit the PDF in Chrome instead – which you can still do even after the MacOS password has been inflicted on it. Which I have many questions about.
PDF is the gift that keeps on giving.
@ben it's caused by "I want to install a package but not reboot". And then the need to unlock because I need to patch live to test the shit I'm working on.
Maybe instead I should have reinstalled Workstation. Would have save me so much trouble.
Accrescent 0.24.0 is out with settings menu accessibility improvements, target SDK 35 (Android 15), and LOTS of translation and dependency updates! 🎉
Download it from our website at accrescent.app or read the changelog below 👇
Today I learned that somebody has created an "ethically sourced Lena image" and I dunno what I expected but this man is doing God's work.

Пару месяцев назад на форуме LowEndTalk увидел фантастическую акцию - давали Storage VPS с 4Тб за 3,30 Евро в месяц.
Пока я думал брать или не брать акция завершилась, тред закрыли.
Я полез зарегался на их сайте и написал титькет в техподдержку, что мол вот опоздал на 5 минут, а сильно хочу такую VPS.
Мне ответили, что таких больше нет, есть за 3,50. Я согласился. Потом меня расспросили какую ОС я хочу и т.п. Я ответил.
На месяц они пропали, титькет висел открытым.
Вчера приходит автописьмо, что мол дорогой клиент, мы извиняемся за какие-то неполадки, теперь будет всё хорошо, радовайтесь! А вот ещё промо какое-то.
Я уже забыл что это за хостер такой, полез логиниться. Вижу, что висит титькет, вспомнил историю.
Написал в титькет, что "ну так можно мне что-то такое?".
Сегодня ответили, сразу создали мне VPS с 4CPU, 6GB RAM, 4TB+100GB для OS.
Я просто окуел! И всё это за 3,33 (или 4,20 евро с VAT).
Такие дела :)

Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare.

Si, lo que no te dicen es que la vista se sigue deteriorando y lo más seguro es que vuelvas a usar lentes.
Por otro lado, casi podría apostar que tampoco requiere la graduación que tuvo previo a operación. (Lo sé porque uno de mis hermanos está igual, se operó hace como ~15 años y dice que otra vez está ceguetas, pero como ~7X menos).
Igual terminé operandome porque la 🐨 terminó rompiendo los lentes que yo no rompí en 10 años 
Мне вот любопытно насколько ёботно на стеке Дотнет реализовать микросервисную архитектуру со всеми её service discovery, gateway и прочим присущим. Но никак не доберусь изучить данный вопрос, может даже что-то накидать. Просто как это в Spring происходит знаю, делал, участвовал в распиле.
Прикол в том что с NVDA ведёт себя нормально, а с Jaws 2022 нечто странное.
Ох да, MyMouse же к железу привязан. Из-за этого не мог на виртуалке поставить, когда было нужно. Приспосабливался к Вокалайзеру кое-как.
А ты с чем живёшь где MyMouse не поставить?
Time for that "Looking for work!" post, I guess!
Unfortunately, my current role is impacted by Amazon's move to mandatory co-location for teams, and my family is far too settled in Brooklyn to move away now. So after 7 years at Amazon, I'm starting the search.
I'm looking for a new role as a Front-end engineer/Design technologist/UX Engineer. I like design systems. And CSS. And accessibility. Love those things.

Ok, the bots are officially better at those CAPTCHA images than me, with a large margin. Clearly, they know where that motorcycle stops and consequently which squares should be checked - I don’t.
each time I get asked feedback about a website that asked me to solve a captcha, I give the lowest rating possible and explain why.
With a little luck somebody will read it.
When we lived in Vancouver, we would Skytrain to the airport every time we traveled.
Should we transit to the airport for our next flight? Oh right, we need to walk + take three different buses to get to Ottawa airport.
But Quebec city hasn't been promising to extend the metro to the airport for DECADES.
They are building the *second* station right now. What happened to the first? It was stuck in the cowardice of the Governments and their glossy report on our dime.
I don't know that throwing soup at a famous painting, knowing it's behind glass and will be perfectly safe, is a super effective form of climate protest.
But it is sinister how many liberals will laugh and say they had it coming when they get 2 years in prison for something they acknowledge was trivial.
