In 2002, Larry Wall, the inventor of Perl, answered a reader question on Slashdot: "How can a scientific or at least technical mind believe in God?" I hope you enjoy his answer as much as I did: https://interviews.slashdot.org/story/02/09/06/1343222/larry-wall-on-perl-religion-and

Just found out via a friend’s LinkedIn update that Microsoft is working on bringing OpenClaw to M365.
I’m surprised Microsoft is endorsing OpenClaw despite the much discussed security concerns. I wonder if they plan to fork it or will contribute to hardening the main project.
my favorite linkedin story...
in my decades long career, i've had one single "management" job. sr director. only 6 months at that company/job. everything else was SME/individual contributor for my entire career.
i got contacted by an executive headhunter for a VP of engineering job. i was already morbidly curious about what kind of supposedly executive headhunter could think i was a VP candidate, so took the call.
it was a startup company, first round of funding, yet had no VP of eng yet.
so, i ask innocently, what's the company's plan/product?
recruiter: "oh, we're building an AI based linkedin scraper to automate looking for suitable candidates."
i pause for a moment to try to figure out the least tactless response i could.
me: "huh... interesting. and did you use this product to find my resume?"
recruiter: "exactly!"
me: "i'd suggest you find and hire a qualified VP of engineering and some engineering staff and give them 6 months of coding work *before* you try using your own product to find any candidates. thanks for your time."
I never get tired of riding the ferries across Puget Sound. I usually stay in my car, and sometimes even get lucky with the view from the car deck. I found this scene looking northward on the Edmonds-Kingston run.
Nasa just published this amazing picture.
This is a very high exposure picture of the nigh side of the world. City lights, auroras, starts and Venus can be seen.
Also, do you realize how thin our atmosphere really is? We’re all living in a small fish tank. Everything we release into that thin layer of air matters.
I stepped in cat barf just before I joined an online meeting at 7:30 a.m.
How's your Friday going?
There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium:
https://browsergate.eu/
The website claims "LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer", and implies the purpose is to find "religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities".
tl;dr:
- yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 6k+ extensions on Chrome;
- yes, this is bad;
- but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily overblown claims.
🧵
Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
