A “Horrendous” Alaska Sexual Assault Case, Delayed for a Decade —
Four different judges have agreed to delay the trial more than 70 times in total. We pieced together a timeline of the delays using audio recordings and logs from every hearing.
RIP to Ben Caldwell. The world and web accessibility benefited from Ben's knowledge and dedication and will continue to do so. Condolences to Ben's family and friends. Some sad news for folks who may not have seen this in other places. Obituary and funeral details for Ben are at:

The center of a triangle is an interesting idea. Unlike circles, a triangle’s center isn’t always the same point because triangles aren’t generally symmetric, and there are lots of different ways to define what you mean by the center of a triangle. Years ago, when the internet was young, I remember finding Clark Kimberling’s online Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers, which had documented hundreds of different ways to define a triangle’s center. The Encyclopedia now contains nearly 40,000 different definitions.
The four most famous triangle centers are the center of mass, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter. These were all known by the ancient Greeks, making them more than a couple thousand years old. All four of these can be easily demonstrated by folding paper. So get yourself some paper and scissors, and follow along.
Remarkably, some triangle centers can fall outside the triangle, especially if you use an obtuse triangle—one with at least one obtuse angle. So start your exploration with an acute triangle. To keep it interesting, try not to make your triangle too close to equilateral. Make each of the sides at least 2-3 inches long. Cut out four copies of your triangle.

"One of our deepest, most fundamental problems as a craft is that we have enshrined «velocity» above all else, willfully blinding ourselves to the long-term consequences of gimcrack software." Great quote by @bcantrill , from bcantrill.dtrace.org/2018/09/1….
I feel this so much right now. I want to deeply understand the foundations I'm building on, and simplify them wherever possible, but I feel the pressure to just find good-enough solutions and keep moving on.

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
