You can add alt texts to figures in #LaTeX with alt={...}.

The alt texts won't necessarily appear in the generated PDF until new versions of LaTeX but let's start with this good practice now. #accessibility #TeXLaTeX

Youtube recommended this talk about @typst support in Quarto by @scheidegger to me. Super cool stuff and Carlos highlights some big benefits of Typst: speed, better error messages, unicode support, a programming language that supports reasoning about sizes of things. Great stuff all around.

Public transport people!

What public transport authorities, in your view, excel at presenting performance data and showing how it shapes their decisions about what service to provide? I'm interested in both public-facing presentations and also just performance monitoring systems that actually affect service planning in a way that the authority can describe.

And yes, I really am "asking for a friend," who in this case is also a client.

i am participating in this exercise challenge at work, which involves tracking my activity (moving, standing, exercise) on my watch. if i move stand and exercise enough i will receive a hat. it turns out that you can just tell your watch that you're doing yoga and do nothing at all and it will count for all three things.
