Steve GisselbrechtPlease remember that "Red Tape" is why there's no sawdust in your bread and the nearest river has not actually caught on fire lately.

I'm a long time techie based in Raleigh, North Carolina (USA) who has been programming professionally (e.g. getting paid for it) since I was in my teens. I'm an IBM Fellow and Vice President, and the CTO for the IBM CIO Office. I'm a book author (10 so far, working on the 11th) of books on Cloud, Patterns, Object Oriented Programming and various and sundry of IBM's software products. I've written papers and articles for a variety of venues (commercial and academic) over the last 30 years.
Nowhere GirlIn a very real sense, the USA is being run by the deranged inhabitants of a toxic Internet forum.
On This Day In HistoryToday in 1946, 79 years ago: Nazi leaders are sentenced at the Nuremberg trials.
Peter GleickThe entire Trump Administration is like a circus where the animals are abused, the acrobats can't figure out how the high-wire and trapeze work, and the clowns are not at all funny. But we're not allowed to leave the tent. Oh, and they're angry we're not clapping.
Dan Wentzel 🏳️🌈In 1934, to stop the New Deal, far-right financiers tried to organize a military coup against FDR.and recruit Gen.Smedly Butler to lead it.
Butler blew the whistle on them, remembering his oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
May the Generals remember their oath next week.
Knowing history is important. Sometimes it repeats and sometimes it rhymes.

Dare ObasanjoSuzy Welch conducted a survey among Gen Z to see how many of them possess the top values hiring managers say they want most: Achievement, learning, and the love of work for work’s sake. The answer? 2%.
Most Gen Z had self-care as a top value, followed by authentic self-expression, and then altruism. Achievement was at #11, learning at #10, and workcentrism at #9.
Jason GormanThe session facilitator from Imperial College said that the students probably had far more knowledge and experience of these tools than most of the faculty.
But this has been a long-time problem with SE academia. By the time the research has been published, practitioners have already been there, done that, and written 5 books about it.
Also, if you're looking for ideas for PhD projects, talk to a practitioner. I often find myself asking "How come nobody's done any serious research on this?"

Kit BashirThe International Astradimensional Emergence Agency was not overly concerned that STL files for a Summoning Assembly were available on thingiverse dot com. The hard part of joining the Astral Weapons club, they maintained, was constructing and triggering the explosive lenses necessary to assemble the pieces into a perfectly shaped Idol of Amenhotep sufficiently rapidly for the astral gate to be fully actualised before the expanding gate horizon consumed the trigger idol.
They (and the world) were taken entirely by surprise when a repurposed nanolithography exposure unit available from AliBaba was able to use X-ray stereolithography to render a functional idol from ordinary dental resin.
The “temporary suspension” of international postage last month was cover for installation of package irradiation devices to ensure that any concealed resins were ruined before they could be used in violations of the Cairo Accords.
Chris EspinosaFor National Guard troops deployed without the consent of the State governor, the constitutional definition of “full force” is zero. There is no war, no insurrection, no disaster, no state of emergency, no justification for troops taking up arms against citizens. Los Angeles already won this in court.
