The hidden chemical attack that forced the Northern line’s extraordinary repair
Thirty years ago, an entire section of the Northern line had to be replaced because it was under attack from acid, and hardly anyone noticed that it was happening.

a study showing the efficacy of progesterone for breast growth has finally come out perhaps some people can stop falsely accusing the rest of us of spreading medical misinformation just because they downplay the value of anecdotal evidence in the absence of such studies
Adding progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy improves breast growth for transgender people
The addition of the hormone progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy leads to increased breast growth for transgender people following feminising hormone therapy.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Don't buy from @unboundsocials.bsky.social / Boundless Books and for god's sake don't consider being published by them. They owe ME money, and books I've never received, but more urgently, they owe their authors thousands and THOUSANDS of pounds. Cretinous, teeth-grindingly tedious conduct.
U.K.’s Bankrupt Unbound Still Owes Millions to Creditors
The U.K.-based crowdfunding publisher Unbound lost a fortune for its shareholders and owed an estimated $3.1 million to creditors, prior to its being sold in March for just $64,000.

Platform engineering is about giving internal engineering teams the tools they need to provision, manage, understand, and operate the software they own.
If you're running it for them, you're an ops team.
If you're building tools, sans PM/designers, you're an infra team.

Being forced to upgrade
Planned depreciation of hardware is annoying when you don't need a new device.
