Judith Love Cohen was the engineer who made Apollo's Abort Guidance System, which was crucial to saving the ill-fated Apollo 13. She finished it while in labor, then (the same day) delivered her younger son -- the actor Jack Black.

This is one of those utterly remarkable #space stories that I stumble over once in a while and it blows my mind afresh every single time.

Still my most favourite workchronicles cartoon. Solving problems before they grew bigger and escalate isn't very flashy and won't give any attention. No one talks about or sees these people.

As we recap our fantastic #EverythingOpen talks, next up is William Brown @firstyear from @SUSE who walks us through #passkeys for #web #authn, showing us their ambiguities, how they work, what their limitations are, and what we need to be thinking about when we implement them.

Another fabulous talk from William.

Stop what you’re doing and go to Google.com and type in “Grogu”.

The first version of the Return/Enter collage for my book had 19 keys.

The final one will have… 99.

(It’s not just 99 different keys. It’s 99 different *form factors*. Maybe with some repetition – but not too many.)

If you're ever on an airplane, go to the map feature in your in-flight entertainment, and look up the town of Nadi, in Fiji.

Because its airport code is NAN, and because everyone in my profession is somehow really bad at their jobs, the map might think the airport is "Not A Number", at which point you can expose all sorts of fun bugs.

In my case, whatever city you had looked up previously would be shown, but still labelled "Nadi".

I’m, ‘You had to look up the library book you wanted on tiny paper file cards’ years old.
