So they built a Total Perspective Vortex.
Douglas Adams did so years ago, and only required a piece of cake!

Give it a little time and they'll be running a full simulation inside the simulation.
It's turtles simulations, all the way down.

Flexible materials trap heat in the devices, making bit-flipping more efficient. If I stretch it can I store more stuff?
There are a lot of cat videos out there.

Another possibility... if you bend it enough, you can get two from one.

We've always known that open source is more than its developers. Open source is also the people who document it, popularise it, organise the communities that support it and, yes, lead the companies that monetise it. Jobs not over until the documentation is written
(and other jobs are done)

Then there is still A LOT of work to do. Looking at the documentation (or better said the lack of) of many products...

The Guardian says Google knew about wage theft in 2019 and opted for a cover-up. I'd put something about the "dark side" here, but that's elsewhere in the newsletter

I thought the slogan was "do not evil", wasn't it?

Some things are illegal but not immoral, and some things are immoral but not illegal.

Indeed, that was the slogan.. A while ago.

Doesn't look like they're following that one either...

Oh yes... they are following it... another thing is that they are doing it bad (luckily for us)

Currently it seems to be "Do mo(re) evil". 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

The services of a good leader is an important gap that development teams desperately need filled. However, very few managers know how to properly serve software development teams. I'm not your employee, you're my manager
