For reasons passing understanding, fonts.com has the most brain-dead approach to serving up webfonts, making each weight in a family its own family. On the face of things, that doesn't seem so bad, right?

Wrong.

Imagine that you're using two actually distinct families, say, Helvetica Neue and its lovely condensed cousin. For each family, you use two weights, plus maybe an italic cut. Now we have:

• Helvetica Neue Light
• Helvetica Neue Light Italic
• Helvetica Neue Medium
• Helvetica Neue Medium Italic

I'm a hybrid designer/developer, but I socialize with more developers than designers—at conferences, online, etc. I have a very specific form of impostor syndrome. I think it might be instructive when examining impostor syndrome, in the same way that optical illusions can be instructive when examining the workings of perception.

I am not a rockstar designer. Or, for that matter, developer. Or anything, really. I am talented, and I feel that I could be a badass at something. Looking around me at tech conferences and our erstwhile online communities, I think this is a feeling that a lot of us share. We're all looking for that outlet, that thing that we would be a game-changer at doing. In our heads, we fantasize about being some kind of Michael Jordan of X, or maybe something with less glamor. A savant-like rain-man at content marketing, or scalable API design, or documentation, or low-latency concurrent network development, or whatever it is that we think we like doing.

Sharing the document with "People at <my domain> can find and view" permission:

• will make it possible for users to search for the document in Google Docs If the user knows the name or part of the name of the document, he can enter it in the Search field at the top of the Google Docs view and click on 'Search <my domain> Docs', If the user doesn't know the name, he can click on 'Show search options' to find other ways to find the document.
• will add the document to users' Docs view once opened (under 'All Items' and 'Opened by me')
• to avoid users' Google Docs view to be overflown by files they do not need, the file created by another user will not appear in the Google Docs view until searched and opened.

If you would like the document to appear in the user's Google Docs view without the user having to search for it first, you will need to share the document with him on an individual basis or with a group he is part of.

A quick way to do so is to add the document to a folder shared with the user. For mo

I love PyCon. And until 2016, I can’t go, because the organizers failed to open a calendar before scheduling the conference in conflict with Passover—for two years running.

This is the story of how a large population was casually excluded from an event that [assigns so much value to being inclusive][CoC]. I say “casually” because it has been almost an entire year since the organizers were made aware of their failure, and they haven’t communicated publicly about it once—not to own up to the problem, and not to take steps to prevent it from happening again. Given the swift actions following incidents ([1][pyconincident1], [2][pyconincident2], [donglegate][donglegate]) at PyCon, it’s hard to feel that this failure is being treated with any kind of gravity when it escapes mention for so long, so it’s time to speak up.

Before I dive into the details, I’d like to stress that I have no personal animus with the organizers, and any suggestions of malice or (sigh) “antisemitism” on their part are simply unfou
