  • Sebastian Lege. You probably won't understand him (he's German), but he is both a cook and an industrial food designer. So he "cooks" things you can buy in the supermarket and shows the ingredients that industry uses for this. Like using sulphuric acid, acetic acid, and isopentyl alcohol to make a banana milk...

  • That is exactly the case here. I've got a private wiki with a rather large extension by now, and it is the only PHP project I have. So whenever mediawiki f-cks something up, which is nearly every update, I restart my PHP skills to find and fix the sh-t they did to my code this time.

  • I'm the person who basically never throws a book away (I did once, but I bought a replacement after the old version literally broke apart in several places). But I would light a chimney with "Atlas shrugged", if only to prevent it from falling in gullible hands.

  • In a restaurant in Brussels. At the next table, two people discussed an upcoming minister-level EU meeting. One person was in charge (or at least had influence on) the meeting agenda, and was urged by the other person to drop a particular item off that list. They argued about possible excuses for not having this item on the meetings agenda, until the bureaucrat agreed, and the lobbyist handed him an envelope.

  • Welcome to my world. Not that I'm using node, but I'm using mediawiki. They manage to f-up something with about every update, and the documentation, if it exists at all, is often enough completely wrong or broken.

  • “This incident demonstrates the evolving challenges of cybersecurity in the face of sophisticated attacks. We continue to work directly with government agencies on this issue, and maintain our commitment to continue sharing information at Microsoft Threat Intelligence blog."

    Translation: Fixing bugs cost way to much more money than just leaving them in, so in order to save the profits, we just wait them out. If the shit hits the fan, we can still start looking into the issue and maybe get some PR coverage to distract the public.

    But we still happily support government agencies to exploit the barndoor-sized holes in our software for whatever nefarious reasons they have because they pay us for that.
