Viel zu lange ging dieses #Buch an mir vorbei. Klare Leseempfehlung und aktueller denn je: Ada und Zangemann

Wahrscheinlich hatte ich es zu sehr unter "Kinderbuch" in meinem Kopf einsortiert. Dann hatte ich das Glück einer Lesung von @kirschner zu lauschen.

Applications are now open to participate in the Outreachy internship for the December 2023 cohort.

Submit your initial application as soon as possible; the deadline is August 22, 2023.

Call me a skeptic if you will, but a private equity firm buying a major publisher — the same PE firm that owns OverDrive — is bad news. Sorry to see it happen. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/07/books/booksupdate/paramount-simon-and-schuster-kkr-sale.html?unlocked_article_code=CJhj7luVEK1RFWdWLl9stuuX-7wjhiiVMv06f-7he4gRLnnRaJqtPM2xU6YZMdLyLmlr-8WQjaHBAYCBpMurGz0UIh1TdQwS7jF9YWlgA1qdrZVpWXAkVqF8J8qQRrk7FAlb1_40rmu55Ax6-rj1mftMBXc6b_j7fW2cRTmVpwcj-8g62kq-eYGO0laJdvfq4I-Y95OEPnATVfZs7Tw9ZTs8sPUI5jkLU1JhzaGs1wZ495F3Ka7iZXGvLQ1RoPfqOikShasVgThn9NLdAAOJFaT3mO-B0HPNQHdVG50WiWIboZ5X9p6WLVEIG3u7p-6lI0lOnvnBO0zbs7MBwb-ZgiQw3hn371J2SgGm7BAeFOV21LYeni6TC8E&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

Preparing #Sourceware for the next 25 years.

In the last couple of years we have started to diversify our hardware partners, setup new services using containers and isolated VMs, investigated secure supply chain issues, added redundant mirrors, created a non-profit home, collected funds, invested in open communication, open office hours and introduced community oversight by a Sourceware Project Leadership Committee with the help from @conservancy

My flight at gate 404 is delayed because... the plane isn't there.

I am not making this up.
