Thoughtworks's "Radar" (www.thoughtworks.com/radar) is a nice occasional overview of interesting tools and practices in the tech industry. From the mundane "Pre-commit hooks" (who isn't using these?) — to the shocking "LLM as judge" (meaning evaluator, not legal adjudicator).

Dan Simmons, The Terror. Got me interested in the real history of the Franklin expedition. Maybe too detailed, or the wrong details, lots of depth to each character, but only factual depth. I found myself heavily skimming through much of this book to see how the fantastical elements resolved.

Delighted to finally get my hands on this beauty 💖 and very grateful to have been included! So many *must-reads* in here on IP & Gender: www.elgaronline.com/edcollbook/b... My chapter takes aim at the ‘empirical turn’—all the efforts we’re seeing to measure women’s participation in the IP system…

10th ed. McGill Guide continues to recommend an EN dash (not a hyphen) for ranges. This makes sense and is consistent with other style guides. However, they've changed all of their examples to use an EM dash. In the 9th edition, this error was only in a single example. Now it has spread everywhere.

Snippet of effective cross-examination I saw recently. No flourish, not even an upturn at the end of the statements being echoed to the witness.

Witness: he said many times the house had been completely rebuilt

Q: many times

A: more than two times

Q: more than two times

A: at least two times

I like that the Court of Appeal Rules (BC) are organized by headings that read like an FAQ: www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/docume...
