OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s AI-device startup io was accompanied by what could best be described as an engagement-party sizzle reel starring the iPhone designer and Sam Altman.

In-Depth Guide to the Best Free Fonts (beautifulwebtype.com)
“Before he died in 2013, the great sociologist Robert Bellah said that his view of everything he’d studied across his life was tilted on its axis by this late recognition: when mammals began to bring forth offspring from the center of their bodies, spiritual life became possible. With apes and far more with humans, the period of necessary parental care—care in order for the offspring to survive—became longer and longer.

Like a hot dog, the Wienermobile is made from a variety of ingredients (2022) (roadandtrack.com)
You might be surprised to find out that the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and the Chevrolet Corvette are related. Turns out, the Wienermobile is much like its namesake food—built from a variety of ingredients. In the case of Oscar Mayer's hot dogs, the list includes turkey, chicken and pork; for the Wienermobile, it’s an array of automotive components, some of which are shared with world-beating performance cars. Let’s examine the Wienermobile to see exactly how the vehicular sausage is made.

The Dystopian Dream Team (lmnt.me)
Well, it’s finally here, the dystopian dream team. Jony Ive and Sam Altman hitched their carts together to create god knows what. While some people are “excited” or “intrigued,” I am frankly “disgusted.”

Zoo Design Studio v1: A New Stack for Mechanical CAD (zoo.dev)
Every generation or so, someone rebuilds the geometric foundation of mechanical CAD (MCAD). It happened in 1988 with Parasolid2, in 1989 with ACIS3, and, until today, the last major commercial geometry engine to reach mainstream adoption was well over a decade ago. Most modern CAD still runs on Siemens’ Parasolid from the late ’80s4.

Women's Pockets are Inferior. (2018) (pudding.cool)
There are few things more frustrating than collecting your belongings only to realize that the pockets in your pants are too small to hold them. Or worse, the fabric designed to look like a pocket is merely for decoration and doesn’t open at all.

My favourite fonts to use with LaTeX (2022) (lfe.pt)
TeX and related systems are often associated with their default fonts, Donald Knuth’s Computer Modern (CM) typefaces. While these fonts are excellent, they have become so ubiquitous in the scientific community that many LaTeX users have sought alternative fonts for their documents.
