Is that the regular Koren siddur? That page looks... More square and with a little less flourish than what I'm used to? But maybe I'm imagining.

I don't have trouble with that word, for some reason it looks clear to me, but in the first line, ואעידה could honestly go either way.

I think the Koren font is much more beautiful than Artscroll, which I find blocky and cold. But that doesn't really say much about readability. Nothing is worse than Chabad siddurim, which are completely unreadable.

Just a few weeks ago, I was so excited to let my kids bike in the new Court St bike lane on our way to brunch there. Too bad we won't be doing that again.

It's the best day of the year: the day the new edition of "Accidents in North American Climbing" comes out! Required reading for anyone whose favorite meeting is the incident postmortem.

I love the idea of the Underhill bike boulevard, but in practice, biking on it is pretty unpleasant because of how big mad the drivers are. It's one of the scarier places that I bike regularly. Not sure what the solution is.

My kids (8 and 9) love Wings of Fire and Keeper of the Lost Cities. About a year or two ago, it was all Dragon Kingdom of Renly and Pacey Packer Unicorn Tracker.

Yup. I wish I remember which fuckass CEO got up at some a16z summit and proclaimed that he was requiring every employee to automate 50% of their job in 12 months. And I looked at my calendar and saw that 80% of my time was spent talking to other human beings. The math doesn't math.

I'm spending the summer at Recurse Center, and today I hosted the first meeting of a new Learning Cultures reading group that I organized. We read "It's Like Coding In The Dark" by @grimalkina.bsky.social. Notes and reflections here: www.maayanroth.com/blog/posts/c...

"The best engineering is always borne of constraints, and the constraint of our time places limits on the cognitive load of the system that we’re willing to accept." bcantrill.dtrace.org/2026/04/12/t... by @bcantrill.bsky.social is a great reflection on the craft of coding in the age of LLMs.

Guidelines for Respectful Use of AI
As companies adopt AI tools, a lot of time is spent on thinking about AI policies from a security, compliance, or even cost-focused angle…

There's egal maariv every weekday in Park Slope, but that's probably not the location you're looking for. Hadar is on the UWS, maybe that's better.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I finally got to ride on the new bike lane and it is such a joy! It's now regularly replacing 4th Ave for my southbound trips and even feels safe enough for me to let my kids ride in it instead of on the sidewalk.

Oh wait I know this one!! The immaculate conception refers to the conception of Mary, who was born without original sin. Mary was told she is pregnant with Jesus on Annunciation Day which is in a totally biologically appropriate March.
