Biweekly is a terrible word.
-- Would you know if “biweekly” means twice a week or twice a month in this email?
Edit: Guys, the whole point is that it can mean both :P
You guys should follow French on this and do biweekly for twice a week and bimonthly for twice a month.
And every two weeks, for every two weeks.

Homebrew on this 2014 Mac Mini has 120 packages to upgrade. Since there is no official support for 12 anymore, this means that most things need to be built from source.
After 12 hours, around 30 packages have been upgraded, including Bash, GCC, LibreSSL, PHP, etc. This is what I call PureBrew.
In case this ever reaches whoever is building Mac binaries for Homebrew, I'd like to express my appreciation for all your work.

If you have a student with dyslexia, one way to help them with the tests is to give them an audio version of the test.
It takes no more than 10 minutes to set up the audio aspect of the test.
You can just record yourself reading the questions and make sure they can listen to the audio during the exam.
Since our exams are open book and computer based, this is quite easy to accomplish.
