Auf der Suche nach Hörstoff hab ich bei Uve Teschner gelesen, dass er von Cory Doctorow "Red Team Blues" eingesprochen hat, um dann festzustellen, dass der Link zu Audible nicht mehr funktioniert.
Und die CD-Fassung bei Amazon nicht lieferbar ist.
Kann es vielleicht sein, dass Herr Doctorow nicht möchte, dass seine Sachen über Audible laufen?

I can't speak to the merits of the product from an ad or a teaser site.

Do they MEAN to go Black Mirror? Do they KNOW they're going Black Mirror?

I mean... I kind of like it. IPPROTO_QUIC added to ye olde socket API looks neat/simple to me, and (as a transport layer) I think it belongs in the kernel anyway.
I assume you prefer QUIC in userspace? For portability reasons?

If you're out for a walk this weekend, and spot a memorial bench, please take a geotagged photo and upload it to openbenches.org/
We've got over thirty-two thousand benches - all added by people like you.
Every bench gets posted on our Mastodon-bot @openbenches
THANKS GANG!
we have signed an agreement with OSM which allows them to use our data.
It doesn't get uploaded automatically because people taking photos don't always have the same precision GPS coordinates as needed for mapping.
For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.
I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.
Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.
I've only ever seen it on audio tape.

In everyday life we encounter two kinds of forces: energetic forces and entropic forces.
When you hold a rock you feel it pushing your hand down. This is an energetic force: raising the rock increases its energy, while lowering it lowers its energy.
When you stretch a rubber band, you feel it pulling back. This is an entropic force. You're not mainly increasing its energy as you stretch it. You're decreasing its entropy! You are taking the tangled polymers in the rubber and forcing them to line up more neatly.
We see here a fundamental truth of thermodynamics: when the temperature is constant, the world wants to minimize its 'free energy', which is energy minus temperature times entropy. So the rock pushes down to reduce energy, but the rubber band pulls back to increase entropy.
Now for a puzzle. When you compress a cylinder of gas, it pushes back. Is this an entropic force or an energetic force... or maybe a mixture of the two?
Yes, the force is due to the pressure of the gas. When you compress the cylinder, molecules of gas inside are bouncing against the cylinder's head, pushing back. That's a perfectly fine explanation at the microscopic level. But you can still ask: are you increasing the energy of the gas, or decreasing its entropy... or both?
Think about it a minute, and then I'll tell you. Someone told me the answer, but I decided it's not quite that simple, so I'll explain the answer I came up with.
If you can handle some math, check out my blog article about entropic forces. If you can't - fear not, the answer to the puzzle uses essentially no math!
