The fifth annual Sonatype State of the Software Supply Chain Report is based on patterns and cybersecurity hygiene practices of about 36,000 open-source projects and 3.7 million open-source component releases. In related news: Wow! Really?!
After that headline, I think it's time I closed up shop. I'm devastated that I couldn't come up with a better conclusion than they did.

Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed the presence of electrically-charged molecules in space shaped like soccer balls, shedding light on the mysterious contents of the interstellar medium (ISM) - the gas and dust that fills interstellar space. Is this some kind of World Cup promotion?

Golly.
You need an electron microscope to see bucky balls on Earth, and phenomenally sensitive galvanometers to detect a charge on them, but they can do all that when they're gazillions of miles out in space.
Aren't they clever?

After launching its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket this evening, SpaceX caught part of the vehicle’s nosecone when it fell back to Earth — the first time the company has ever pulled off such a feat. "Look at me, I can be centerfield"
Just imagining the conversations at ye olde sea captain bar: "I caught some tuna." "I caught some cod." "I caught part of a rocket."

Linux founder Linus Torvalds warned attendees that managing software is about to become a lot more challenging, largely because of two hardware issues that are beyond the control of DevOps teams. And I see lots of Linus headaches to continue

Sorry, his vision is rather limited having the linux-kernel-colored horse-blinders on. Don't trust his opinion when it comes to things other than the linux-kernel.
Git is a piece of crap.

Microsoft today announced OneDrive Personal Vault, a new security layer for protecting sensitive and important files. Because it's more convenient for their scanners if you keep them all in one place

How about just keeping sensitive stuff off the cloud?

Considering adding a new database to your application and want to see which combinations are most popular? I know I pick my databases based on popularity
It might have been more useful if they said *how* these numbers were randomly generated.

A new bill would tell you how much the ad-targeting data you give to companies like Google and Facebook is worth. "Everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind"
Or... you know, install an ad-blocker (but whitelist us, please!)

Extremely self-serving article full of bullshit. Without Ads, Vox would go away and Facebook would have to settle for being a place to share pictures with your friends.

So it's win, win, win, all the way down.

Ads are one thing; it's the targeting that's unacceptable, because of the huge invasion of privacy.
And I've yet to see figures (that are not from google) that say targeted ads produce more revenue than non-targeted ads, so it may well be that all google and facebook are doing, by collecting all this personal data, is painting targets for hackers.
... And, of course, making shiploads of money for absolutely nothing.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
