New life for XMPP. Build your own decentralized messenger!
The idea of building decentralized messenger run by users, not corporations, is not new. But the process of building it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time. But what if we take the old good XMPP protocol, which has everything already implemented for us?

Corker of a line from https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/exotic01.html
“And the story of computation has been about the evolution of this very novel and peculiar form of human expression we call code. I suspect being a programmer in the 21st century must be like what being a royal scribe was like in Ancient Egypt in 3200 BCE. There’s this new modality of communication that most of the population is unaware of, yet it’s existence simultaneously enables commerce, culture and civilization to flourish.”
Kids, please use #Linux (or *BSD).

It turns out that in the current version of the macOS, the OS sends to Apple a hash (unique identifier) of each and every program you run, when you run it.
[Book] Evidence-based software engineering
From the book itself:
This book discusses what is currently known about software engineering based on an analysis of all publicly available software engineering data. This aim is not as ambitious as it sounds because there is not a lot of data publicly available.
The analysis is like a join-the-dots puzzle, except that the 600+ dots are not numbered,some of them are actually specs of dust, and many dots are likely to be missing. The wayforward is to join the dots to build an understanding of the processes involved in buildingand maintaining software systems; work is also needed to replicate some of the dots toconfirm that they are not specs of dust, and to discover missing dots.
