Last Thursday, NASA informed the public that there was an air pressure leak aboard the International Space Station. "Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage"

Why do I need NASA to tell me when someone passes a little gas on the space station? Everyone does it.

"Oops"
"What do you mean, oops?"
"Nothing... do you have some tape or gum?"

Similar to how Google Scholar works, Dataset Search lets you find datasets wherever they’re hosted, whether it’s a publisher's site, a digital library, or an author's personal web page. Now you can do SCIENCE!

Using a laser to detect the effect of radio waves on certain atoms is the basis for a new kind of antenna that resists interference and can receive a wider range of signals. It only plays that song by Blondie, 24/7

We are so used to call Programming Languages “languages” that we don’t even stop for a second to think about the implications that are carried over (metapherein) when we liken them to natural languages. Analogies are not definitions

I noticed that. He uses commas where he shouldn't and not where he should, for a start! Then he has long, run-on sentences that change focus during the sentence. Oh, well...

In a wide-ranging interview at Open Source Summit, Torvalds talked about programmers, Linux, and open-source development. Something we have in common

ZDNet article Torvalds added, "I don't worry about technical issues in kernel. I worry about them, but I'm not worried about them. The workflow is way more important than the code. If a bug happens, you know how to deal with it."
That's very interesting. That is a huge tech-details-geek saying that the code doesn't really matter, but it is the process that matters.

NASA intends to shift its space-to-ground data communications from traditional radio to laser. The move may help internet throughput via over-the-air laser optical become a reality. It's all fun and games until a Bond villain takes control of your orbital lasers

Blazor is the new Microsoft experimental framework that brings C# into any browser without a plug-in. It holds the promise of modern single-page applications, combined with the ability to use C# and its vast base-class library. But it still sounds like a villain from a He-Man cartoon

As Chrome looks ahead to its next 10 years, the team is mulling its most controversial initiative yet: fundamentally rethinking URLs across the web. That worked out so well for AOL and Compuserve

That's a bit unfair to Compuserve, which actually predated DNS by roughly 15 years.
(According to CompuServe - Wikipedia, they were also the first online service offering Internet connectivity as well!)

True, but they did seem to resist accepting the switch over to the web even when it was becoming obvious it was going to clean their clocks.
I do miss them though - it was expensive (to me at the time), but the conversations were excellent.
Present company is as well, of course!

NASA's new leader is gung-ho on privatizing spaceflight, and that could lead to some new approaches to branding... like it or not. From NASA to NAScAr
