Its the 'Law of the Jungle'

I am looking to hire people interested in making a million dollars a year. No, this is not a multilevel marketing scheme. We will be committing fraud.

Why is the 'CodeceptJS' framework not more popular?

Trisha Chetani Brilliant idea. Thanks for posting

Not very seasonal, but I finally got round to making a map of UK train stations + walkable campsites. Shows campsites that are <3km from stations (i.e. basically next door), and 10-20km away (i.e. very roughly a day's walk). Useful? felt.com/map/Rail-Hike-…

Prof Jordan Joseph Wales, what can medieval theology tell us about robots who pray?

Just how humble is Mr Knuth? It is inspiring. He makes an interesting point about % of people who easily learn to program. There are not many of them but they can be found anywhere. e.g. 13th-century Sanscript authors. learning.acm.org/bytecast/ep2-d…

Facebook use DNS requests to spy on most Web users by forcing lookups to go all the way back home. It broke its Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing and took its Domain Name System (DNS) servers off the Internet. Its DNS responses are uncached. Ouch.

In tech, we need a 'Dependency removal engineer' role.

One to watch out for! Faye has produced a stunning poetic-reimagining of the 1940s classic British Mountaineers. I can't wait to see this beauty in print and talk mountains, politics, poetics and erasure with this talented Welsh climber Kendal Mountain Book Festival

In tech, it's important to recognise we waste time, effort and health failing to see that most technical challenges we think we face — and try to solve technically — are in fact human ones.

So cool! Recorded Teams meetings have a JSON version of the transcript. You can use PowerShell to find out if you're consuming all of the air in the room.

Look for the 'streamContent?format=json' URL in the DevTools Network tab.
