That means the article contained a plausible-sounding sentence, cited to a real, relevant-sounding source. But when you read the source it’s cited to, the information on Wikipedia does not exist in that specific source.

This means the book is now 9 years old. Accessibility best practices haven’t really changed, and you should still find this book valuable. However, some of the recommended tools might be outdated, job titles have changed, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are now approaching version 3. Perhaps someday I (Laura) will find time to write a second edition, but first I wanted to make the book free, and available for the web community who have generously shared their knowledge with me. About the book: You make the web more inclusive for everyone, everywhere, when you design with accessibility in mind. Let Laura Kalbag guide you through the accessibility landscape: understand disability and impairment challenges; get a handle on important laws and guidelines; and learn how to plan for, evaluate, and test accessible design. Leverage tools and techniques like clear copywriting, well-structured IA (Information Architecture), meaningful HTML, and thoughtful design, to create a solid set of best practices. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned pro, get sure footing on the path to designing with accessibility.

So population counts for individual countries, particularly in Africa, are probably badly inaccurate. It wouldn’t be surprising if the total population for Africa is off-base by some amount. But we don’t have much reason to think that the global population is very different from what we believe it to be.But it’s good to be reminded that we know a lot less about the world than we think. Much of our thinking about the world runs on a statistical edifice of extraordinary complexity, in which raw numbers—like population counts, but also many others—are only the most basic inputs. Thinking about the actual construction of these numbers is important, because it encourages us to have a healthy degree of epistemic humility about the world: we really know much less than we think 2026-02-01T05:47:01Z {XDN Tech} The Engineer who invented the Mars Rover Suspension...in his garage [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKSPk_0N4Jc] 2026-02-01T05:47:01Z {intrapreneurship innovation creativity science space video documentary} What technology takes from us – and how to take it back | AI (artificial intelligence) | The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/29/what-technology-takes-from-us-and-how-to-take-it-back] The long read: Decisions outsourced, chatbots for friends, the natural world an afterthought: Silicon Valley is giving us life void of connection.

Define your system dependencies in an Aptfile and install them with a single command. Use Cases Developer Onboarding A new developer joins a project, clones the repo, and runs sudo apt-bundle to get all required system dependencies. Dockerfile Build Replace long, unmaintainable RUN apt-get install -y ... lines with a simple Aptfile and apt-bundle command. System Sync Use apt-bundle dump > Aptfile on your primary workstation and then sudo apt-bundle on a new laptop to sync your tools. CI/CD Use apt-bundle check to validate that the build environment has the necessary dependencies. 2026-02-01T05:47:01Z {ubuntu backup} Bogdan's Blog – From Microsoft to Microslop to Linux: Why I Made the Switch [https://www.himthe.dev/blog/microsoft-to-linux]when bottlenecks feed into bottlenecks, some strategic thinking is required to fix the system. There is often more than one bottleneck in a congested system and opening that bottleneck will sometimes mean the same queue builds up somewhere else. Second, the optimum queuing time probably isn’t zero. In most cases, demand arrives at irregular intervals and it is likely to be impractically wasteful to have so much capacity (so many doctors, so many ambulances, so many crown courts) that even after a sudden surge in demand, nobody has to wait. That said, the optimum queuing time should probably be kept quite short. Imagine a situation where an emergency doctor can see four patients an hour and patients arrive every 15 minutes. At first everything is fine: every patient can be seen immediately. Then something goes wrong. Perhaps there’s a sudden rush, when five patients unexpectedly arrive together. Perhaps the doctor takes an hour off for lunch. The waiting time suddenly increases from nothing to an hour, even though the doctor is still seeing four patients an hour and four patients an hour are still arriving. The moral of this very simple story is that even if the capacity of the system is equal to the demand for it, queues can grow and then stay at unpleasant lengths. What’s needed is a little extra capacity to work through the inevitable queues that build up from time to time. Unfortunately, systems under intense pressure rarely have a little extra capacity hanging around. Third, it can be hard to increase the capacity of a system. Let’s say that we have one million nurses and each nurse trains for two years before working for 20. Arithmetically, that requires 100,000 nurses to be in training at any given moment. What if it is decided that we need 1.1 million trained nurses and we need them as soon as possible? That would require an immediate recruitment boost, doubling the number of nurses in training. Would that be possible? Even though the expansion in nursing personnel seems modest, it requires nursing courses to double in size and then to shrink again after a couple of years. An even more dramatic expansion will be needed at the advanced training colleges at which the teachers of nursing are themselves trained. It might be easier to persuade nurses to stay a little longer in the profession or to recruit from the Philippines.
