 The Apollo 11 guidance computer repeatedly crashed on descent. On earth computer scientists had just 13 hours to debug the problem. They did. It was CPU overload because of a wrong setting. Some things never change!

Deep-sky mosaic, created from nearly 7,500 individual exposures, provides a wide portrait of the distant universe, containing 265,000 galaxies that stretch back through 13.3 billion years of time to just 500 million years after the big bang. (hubblesite)

Number Stuff:

• 36%: of the world touches a Facebook app every month, 2 years over a life time
• $84.4: average yearly Facebook ad revenue per user in North America
• 1%: performers raked in 60% of all concert-ticket revenue world-wide in 2017—more than double their share in 1982
• ...

Quotable Stuff:

• @mjpt777: APIs to IO need to be asynchronous and support batching otherwise the latency of calls dominate throughput and latency profile under burst conditions. Languages need to evolve to better support asynchronous interfaces and have state machine support, not try to paper over the obvious issues with synchronous APIs. Not everyone needs high performance but the blatant waste  and energy consumption of our industry cannot continue.
• Guido van Rosuum: I did not enjoy at all when the central developers were sending me hints on Twitter questioning my authority and the wisdom of my decisions, instead of telling me in my face and having an honest debate about things.
• Isobel Cockerell: A kind of WeChat code had developed through emoji: A half-fallen rose meant someone had been arrested. A dark moon, they had gone to the camps. A sun emoji—“I am alive.” A flower—“I have been released.”
• @scottsantens: Australian company shifts to 4-day week with every Weds off and no decrease in pay. Result? 46% more revenue, a tripling of profits, and happier employees taking fewer sick days. Also Thurs are now much more productive. We work too much.
• There's a lot more where that came from.

Number Stuff:

• $1 trillion: Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world (for now)
• 20%: global enterprises will have deployed serverless computing technologies by 2020
• 390 million: paid Apple subscriptions, revenue from the services business climbed from $9.9 billion to $11.5 billion, services now account for “one-third” of the company’s gross profits
• 1011: CubeStat missions
• $326 billion: USA farm expenses in 2017
• 61%: increase in average cyber attack losses from $229,000 last year to $369,000 this, a figure exceeding $700,000 for large firms versus just $162,000 in 2018.
• $550: can yield 20x profit on the sale of compromised login credentials

Quotable Stuff:

• Robert Lightfoot~ Protecting against risk and being safe are not the same thing. Risk is just simply a calculation of likelihood and consequence. Would we have ever launched Apollo in the environment we’re in today? Would Buzz and Neil have been able to go to the moon in the risk posture we live in today? Would we have launched the first shuttle with a crew? We must move from risk management to risk leadership. From a risk management perspective, the safest place to be is on the ground. From a risk leadership perspective, I believe that’s the worst place this nation can be.
• Paul Kunert: In dollar terms, Jeff Bezos's cloud services wing grew 41 per cent year on year to $7.6bn, figures from Canalys show. Microsoft was up 75 per cent to $3.4bn and Google grew a whopping 83 per cent to $2.3bn.
• @codinghorror: 1999 "MIT - We estimate that the puzzle will require 35 years of continuous computation to solve" 2019 "🌎- LOL" https://www.csail.mit.edu/news/programmers-solve-mits-20-year-old-cryptographic-puzzle …
