Over 15% plus last month... is that a crash?

And minus how much a month or two? That’s the crash I think they were referring to.

As it would have been stable at any time... its course looks more like an rollercoaster than anything else...
Are they going to write an article every time it gets down? (or up?)

And a pretty scary rollercoaster at that.

Nor I - I was thinking of the market in general (with crypto being a proxy for it)

Astrophysicist Brad Tucker says he often gets calls from people who think they’ve found space junk but the scorched metal found by two farmers is ‘very real’ If it starts playing classical music, don't touch it!
Or maybe do, and you'll end up as the next phase of humanity

Now the question is... is that the only piece? Or are we going to have a rain of space junk?

The Raspberry Pi 4's open-source Vulkan driver for its Broadcom GPUs has now achieved conformance with the Vulkan API 1.2 standard. That what people have been buying Raspberry Pi for? High-end gaming?

Oracle Has Started Laying Off US Employees With More Cuts Expected[^]
$1b reduction in expenses...That's a LOT of people. That headline only mentions US employees, but the layoffs are world-wide.

Layoffs had already begun in Oracle's advertising unit, which cut about 60 people last month, Insider reported. Meanwhile, top executives like Ariel Kelman, its chief marketing officer, and Juergen Lindner, a marketing leader, are expected to depart the firm.
The cuts come amid big changes for the Austin, Texas, company: Oracle last month won regulatory approval for its $28 billion purchase of the medical-records company Cerner and is absorbing its roughly 20,000 employees.
The database company reported better-than-expected earnings in June, with a 5% revenue increase from the year prior and cloud revenues of $2.9 billion. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, its cloud platform, still lags AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud in overall market share.
Caveat Emptor.

Linus Torvalds starts some kernel development tasks using Apple Arm64 hardware and says Linux 5.19 contains 'a lot of random stuff'. Maybe someone could have helped him install Linux earlier?

We had a nice chat with Douglas Crockford, a well-known American computer programmer who was involved in the development of the JavaScript language. Douglas is the author of How JavaScript Works. He also discovered the JSON Data Interchange Format, the world’s most loved data format. "The best thing we can do today to JavaScript is to retire it."
Posted entirely for that quote. (and so it would be next to that React Native article)

Quote: The half-life of XML is about three years. It's sad - with XML you could have validating schemas, data type specifications, simple rules, references (and therefore reusable) sub-schemas, and it was extensible and one could write awesome queries. I personally think we lost a lot particularly in terms of data validation, moving to JSON.
But nowadays we have the opposing forces of dumbing everything down contrasted by a plethora of overly complicated front-end frameworks. It's stunning to me that some of the front-end programmers I've worked with know (after spending hours or days figuring out the framework) how to do something in a complex framework and yet have no idea how to implement the same functionality in pure Javascript / TypeScript which takes me a few minutes. Anyways, I digress.

JSON was too complicated so Rust uses TOML[^] (Tom's Obvious Minimal Language). No joke.
You'll see resemblance to old windows (3.1) .ini files.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the old Windows .ini files. They're a heck of a lot more readable than the XML .config files that have been foisted on everyone.
