UNIX was built in one month. Ken Thompson's wife took their son on vacation. He had 3 weeks alone. He wrote the kernel in week 1, the shell in week 2, the editor in week 3. Modern dev teams spend 3 weeks in sprint planning.

This is NOT a photo of a star… In July 2022, Étienne Klein — a prominent French physicist and director of research at France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) — posted what appeared to be a stunning image of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Sun. He captioned it as a new photograph taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, showing a beautifully detailed, marbled red sphere glowing against the black void of space. The image quickly went viral, earning widespread admiration and thousands of shares — until Klein revealed the truth: the “star” was actually a close-up photograph of a slice of Spanish chorizo sausage. What began as a moment of scientific awe turned into a viral lesson on digital skepticism and the dangers of trusting authority without verification. Klein later described the post as a deliberate “scientist’s joke” intended to highlight how easily people accept images as real when they come from a credible source — especially in the era of fake news and AI-generated visuals. While some praised the stunt for encouraging critical thinking, others strongly criticized it, arguing that misinformation from a respected scientific figure risks eroding public trust in genuine astronomical discoveries — particularly during the highly anticipated early JWST mission. Klein eventually apologized to those who felt misled, but the incident remains a powerful cautionary tale: even experts can exploit visual deception, reminding us all to question everything and verify before believing in the age of social media.

Curious fact. The chickens we eat may not have walked more than 10 feet in their entire lives.

El State of the Map Latam 2025 en Medellín terminó hace unas semanas y me dejó muchas alegrías, de organizar un evento así alrededor de mi pasión de contribuir en #OpenStreetMap, de ver amigos en persona, de aprender usos. #OSMLatam #SotMLatam2025 #Medellin

Otra muestra de esta pinta de concejal qué tenemos, que tiene que humillar a un policía

Esta pinta es la que promueve el paro de hoy. Estamos mal de líderes en el concejo de Bogota. #parotransportistas #Bogota

@GreenDay @gunsnroses Los lugares sin letreros grandes. Solo esta hojita. Y para colmo no aceptan pago en tarjeta. En que mundo están?

@GreenDay @gunsnroses Un aviso caído, espero que no haya lastimado a alguien

Estrenando el ViveClaro, muy bonito de lejos pero con muchas cosas por mejorar. Por fuera solo dice sectores (E, F ,G) pero la boleta no los menciona. Toca preguntarle a los de apoyo, que no estaban muy dispuestos en ayudar. Los lectores fallaban, y varias veces tocó pasarlo
