(Vote) Move Apache Mesos to Attic
Vinod Kone on the Mesos mailing list:
Based on the recent conversations on our mailing list, it seems to me that the majority consensus among the existing PMC is to move the project to the attic and let the interested community members collaborate on a fork in Github.
I would like to call a vote to dissolve the PMC and move the project to the attic.
Farewell to thee, Mesos. We hardly knew ye.
How I’ve improved my remote presentation setup
Lara Hogan:
Then the pandemic hit. I was lucky to have a trusted advisor to lean on as I adapted my workshop content to work better for a fully-remote audience, and for my own brain.

Everybody who uses psql uses less pager. It is working well, but there is not any special support for tabular data. I found few projects, but no one was completed for this purpose. I decided to write some small specialized pager for usage as psql pager.
CEO after the alcolock crash: “Suspected cyber attack behind”

Yahoo Answers will be shut down forever on May 4th
Nick Statt at the Verge:
Yahoo Answers, one of the longest-running and most storied web Q&A platforms in the history of the internet, is shutting down on May 4th. That’s the day the Yahoo Answers website will start redirecting to the Yahoo homepage, and all of the platform’s archives will apparently cease to exist.
If we tear down history like this, how will we ever know how is babby formed?.
