The first record of donuts appears in a 1400s German cookbook.
I think this is the first year I’m hearing about jelly donuts and Hanukkah. We always had latkes when I was a kid.
Fantasy disguised as science fiction disguised as fantasy: Roger Zelazny’s “Lord of Light.” Jo Walton: “I have never liked Lord of Light. If I’ve ever been in a conversation with you and you’ve mentioned how great it is and I’ve nodded and smiled, I apologise.”
Making DevSecOps more than just lipstick on a pig. If your answer to implementing DevSecOps is dumping more responsibility on overworked developer teams, you’re doing it wrong. My latest.
Everyone and everything is pissing me off today.
Not you. You’re awesome.
The presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania said calls for genocide against Jewish people don’t violate their school policies. When I covered crime in New Jersey in the 1980s, making death threats was a crime. I assume that’s true today in most US jurisdictions—but not at Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania if you’re threatening Jews.
Back to Reddit
After a recent discussion with friendly fellow journalists, I started using Reddit again. I’d dumped Reddit after the whole dustup this summer between the Reddit CEO and the developer of the Apollo client. It left me feeling like the CEO was a petty jerk, and I didn’t want to support him.
But after Friday I decided to give Reddit another try, and I find I like the discussion there. And call me a sucker but I like watching the karma points rack up.
And it’s a good opportunity to promote articles.
But I miss Apollo. Reddit is barely usable on the iPhone and iPad without Apollo.
On a private discussion group, a friend asked what we use to clean our computer screens. I said I cover mine with peanut butter and let the dog lick them clean. I enjoy opportunities like that to share my deep technical knowledge with the less-informed.
I’m trying the Spark email app for Mac and iPhone. Impressive but confusing.
Lucid dream startup says you can work in your sleep.
Despite the linkbait headline, the article itself is very interesting and goes into claims by the startup that they’ve created technology to induce lucid dreaming at will.
What would be the ramifications of something like that, where most people were able to lucid dream at will? Would it be like the movie “Inception?”
