One pebble’s not much
But waters will overflow
When we all add one

Reminiscing about that old parable about the thirsty crow and the pitcher of water

Developers, please be careful when installing Homebrew. Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. The URL for this site is one letter different than the official site.
Note: Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad (original brew.sh here), but the click takes you to the malware domain brewe.sh.
In 2018 @alphabettes ran the same poll and got similar ambiguous results (just in the opposite direction, with more lighter than heavier).
On their blog is a good summary by @veryrobin and analysis of a corpus of fonts by @tosche_e and @akira1975: http://www.alphabettes.org/dear-alphabettes-what-defines-a-book-weight/
Three truths I hope are revealed by this survey’s results and discussion:
1. There is no consensus on the relative weight of “Book”. (In some type it’s lighter than Reg, in others it’s heavier. And the varying assumptions of respondents demonstrate that.)
2. There is no consensus on the meaning of “Book” beyond weight.
3. “Book” may be an ok word to use in a family name, but it is not a good word for a style within a family.

19 January 1902 | A Jewish artist David Olère was born in Warsaw. In 1918 he emigrated to France.
In March 1943, he was deported to #Auschwitz where he was forced to work in Sonderkommando. After the war, he showed the horrifying world of gas chambers in drawings & paintings.
Mit Donald #Trump wird heute ein Mann US-Präsident, der #Europa nicht als natürlichen Verbündeten sieht, sondern in die Mangel nehmen will – mit territorialen Forderungen, einem drohenden Rückzug aus der Ukrainehilfe und Attacken gegen die Klima- und Digitalpolitik der #EU.
Was tun? Darum geht es in meiner Analyse bei @riffreporter
