The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is easily my favorite sale to shop for the entire year. Brand new items for the season are discounted more than they'll ever be right when they become available at Nordstrom. Some of the items aren't even released at other stores yet!

Tampa, Fla., Sept. 12, 2019 — Of the more than 100 million Americans affected by the disease of obesity, fewer than 4% receive obesity-related treatment from their healthcare provider. Having access to comprehensive obesity care can be life-changing, from the management of obesity to the reduction of symptoms of obesity-related diseases. That is why, since 2015, National Obesity Care Week (NOCW) has joined individuals and organizations together nationwide to advance a science-based understa...| Obesity Care Week
Herbert Sneyd-Kynnersley (like Harry Potter’s Severus Snape, the Dickensian name makes you wince) was the infamous headmaster of St. George’s School, Ascot, who regularly beat his small charges with birch rods, and according to some, with sadistic sexual pleasure. Like Dinsdale Piranha in a famous Monty Python skit, “he was a cruel man—but fair.” Edward Dutton sets out to vindicate him. Indeed, one might say he comes to praise Sneyd-Kynnersley and to bury Churchill. The post Churchi...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College

In my job I’m currently dealing with writing coding guides for several languages. That prompted me to sit down to do something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while: Compiling my personally preferred way of writing C++ into my very own coding guide – a.k.a. this article. The guide was written in 2019 and updated in 2023. See the changelog for details. As I see it a coding guide consists of two parts: The style guide contains rules and guidelines about formatting and naming. This pa...| Here Be Braces
The implementation of my unicode_algorithm library had barely started when I encountered a problem I had not considered at all. Unicode code points have a lot of properties for things like the character type, uppercase/lowercase mappings, bidirectional mirroring, and so on. The data is freely available and it would be easy to simply dump it into an array indexed by code point number (in the following called the naive array). However, code points have a valid range of 0x0 to 0x10FFFF for a tot...| Here Be Braces

CMake has come a long way since the 2.x dark ages. But even in the newest versions some things can still feel confusing and rather convoluted. Installing is one of them. It’s relatively straight forward for applications meant for end users. However libraries that are supposed to be used as dependencies by other developers from other projects, those are a different story. This article is about exactly that: installing a library with everything required that other CMake projects can make conv...| Here Be Braces

One of the biggest barriers to accessibility is awareness. We often hear how diversifying our workforce is good for business.
