Junge Witwen trauern anders – ein Online-Buch übers Trauern.
That is the power of play. You begin by messing around, set in motion by curiosity and irreverence, then, by degrees of unawareness, you're suddenly in a loose, supersensory state so beyond ordinary life, poking where you don't usually think to, running into boundaries, then, wanting more fun – you create anew. A total accident. Tinkering leads to pondering and questioning, leads to creation.
Death by a thousand microservices.
Ultimately, when faced with the need to travel from New York to Philadelphia, you have two options. You can either attempt to construct a highly intricate spaceship for an orbital descent to your destination, or you can simply purchase an Amtrak train ticket for a 90-minute ride. That is the problem at hand.
From the “the other 6-year old music producer” dept.
Well, here it is. My first album. I know that I'm only 6 but that does not matter. It really only started when I was thinking of the first song's chorus while running across the rough concrete of the grade 1 yard. And then it turned into an everyday project. And then I finished it. And then everybody in my family started listening to it. And then my mom's friends started listening to it. A lot of "and thens", I know. But here it is, and you can listen to it now.

Squint, and you can almost see the island now. A small, tropical purgatory, far away from anywhere that matters, home to uncountable damaged and incomplete data points, stranded until they are fixed or erased. The weather is always humid, and there’s never a ship on the horizon.
With gokrazy, you can deploy your Go programs as appliances to a Raspberry Pi or PC (via xeiaso.net via lobste.rs).
For a long time, we were unhappy about having to spend so much time on each of our various Raspberry Pis, taking care of security updates and other general Linux distribution maintenance.
Then, we had a crazy idea: what if we massively reduced the overall system complexity by getting rid of all software we don’t strictly need, and instead built up a minimal system from scratch entirely in Go, a memory safe programming language?

E. M. Forster: The Machine Stops.
What was the good of going to Peking when it was just like Shrewsbury? Why return to Shrewsbury when it would all be like Peking? Men seldom moved their bodies; all unrest was concentrated in the soul.
Hm, 8 years ago… as an aging human being is supposed to do, I seem to start repeating myself more and more often… but then again, I was listening to the Level 42 song already in the 1980s so there goes that. And now I think Mark King is performing like a machine himself in that video. Nice, nice, very nice.
Of course the BBC made a short film out of the story, as an episode of their Out of The Unknown series.
