Software engineering feels like being a pilot now. The autopilot does all the flying and you're mainly there to look responsible when things go sideways. Which they will. At 3am.

How hot is it in France on Monday?

Only 1.2 percent of the planet will be hotter than France's hottest place.

Places that will be hotter include the Sahara Desert, Desert Southwest and Middle East.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Got a telescope for my birthday. It's been raining every night since except once or twice. Is this a sign from the universe?

Ecoutez bien « la fraude des patients ne représente que 7% ( 33 millions d’€) de la fraude totale (723 millions d’€) .

Le le reste de cette fraude , soit 690 millions d’€ ce sont les escroqueries des professionnels de santé et des hopitaux privés .

I haven't tried it yet, but ziggit looks interesting: a drop-in git replacement written in Zig that claims 4-10x faster performance on apple silicon and includes a succinct mode to cut LLM token usage by 70-95%.

Any e-commerce site in 2026 that makes you pay for returns and hands you store credit instead of a real refund deserves to disappear. I thought we settled this.

This is either brilliant or scary:

Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA.

BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!
