It was the line "hardware, software" that made me very curious. Seemed anachronistic to me! But I see those have other meanings.

Technology Radar | Guide to technology landscape The Technology Radar is an opinionated guide to today's technology landscape. Read the latest here.

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?) β€” 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.

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
