MRNA vaccines and Clarke's Law: JESUS FUCKING HOLY GODDAMNED SHITBALLS https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/05/clarkes-third-law/#indistinguishable-from-magic
In MRNA vaccines and Clarke's Law: JESUS FUCKING HOLY GODDAMNED SHITBALLS Cory Doctorow writes about the new mRNA vaccines:
If you convert a single closet in a conventional factory to mRNA production, it will make more doses than the rest of the factory combined. Only part of the factory needs to be a high-spec cleanroom facility, and the rest can be cheaper and more easily maintained.
This new technology is indeed fucking amazing!

„The dispassionate developer“ https://blog.ploeh.dk/2021/03/22/the-dispassionate-developer/
An interesting article about the dispassionate developer. The author claims that we should not be passionate about our work.
As you start to ponder the implied ethos, the stranger it gets. Would you like engineers to be passionate as they design new bridges? Would you like a surgeon to be passionate as she operates on you? Would you like judges to be passionate as they pass sentence on your friend?
I'd like such people to care about their vocation, but I'd prefer that they keep a cool head and make as rational decisions as possible.

I knew of dogs that howl to wolves or sirens… but our dog loves operas and starts howling (I'd like to call it „singing“ 😜) to them every time.

Why The IndieWeb?
A repost of https://briefs.video/videos/why-the-indieweb/
Heydon Pickering published a pretty amazing short film about „Why The IndieWeb?“ as part of his webbed briefs series.
If you haven't already, go and watch it! I like it very much.

Google Forms spam
A repost of http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/google-forms-spam.htm
Christian notices that Google Forms is being used to send spam e-mails. I see this, too. Since a few months I get several Google Forms spam mails per day, and my spam filters are not yet adjusted to this new form of spam.
This is why we can't have nice things. Fuck you very much, spammers.
