Last summer, news traveled through the community that two kids from two families who attended the camp for years had independently gone on to a registry for family members trying to connect with donors or donor siblings. So that same month, last August, when I was 19, I dug up the questionnaire, went to the sibling registry for California Cryobank, the largest sperm bank in the nation, and typed in the donor’s number. I grew up in Oakland, but I spent a semester in high school at a program in New York for kids interested in experiential learning, and one friend I made there, I knew, had two mothers who used a sperm donor to conceive him.

We get left on the floor, picked last, or somehow follow only those humans who exercise great care, regardless of what team they are on,” said the wise code. An ops team, or other less fortunate team in a structure where things roll downhill to them, is probably not the best to maintain a codebase where they have little domain knowledge and prioritize that maintenance against infrastructure stability, upgrades, and improvements. Many organizations have attempted an overlayed matrix model, such as Spotify guilds or Valve’s cabals, to assign ownership to orphaned code projects.

Smiling cryptically, Ian Small, the chief executive of Evernote, handed me some socks. At the peak of Evernote’s success, as part of an ambitious plan to expand from software factory to lifestyle brand, the company sold the socks and other “exceptional products that satisfy our desires for greater ease and efficiency,” like high-end scanners and backpacks made by Côte&Ciel, a French boutique. Instead, the company cycled through four chief executives, several rounds of layoffs, three office closings and the shuttering of numerous side projects, including Japanese-made smart covers for your feet.

The space agency announced today that it will launch a robotic mission to Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, in 2026. For a moon, Titan has quite a few things in common with Earth. There are some crucial differences between Earth and the Saturnian moon, of course; for example, the surface temperature on Titan is always a chilly 292 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (180 degrees below zero Celsius), give or take a degree or two.

About three years back, I attempted to live entirely on the command line for 30 days—no graphical interface, no X Server, just a big-old terminal and me, for a month. It has a bit steeper requirements than many terminal applications, as it relies on Ruby, but it’s still lighter and faster than any graphical presentation program out there. What one would call a window manager in a graphical desktop, in terminals is called a terminal multiplexer—same idea, more or less.

Senior Trump administration officials met on Wednesday to discuss whether to seek legislation prohibiting tech companies from using forms of encryption that law enforcement can’t break — a provocative step that would reopen a long-running feud between federal authorities and Silicon Valley. The encryption challenge, which the government calls “going dark,” was the focus of a National Security Council meeting Wednesday morning that included the No. 2 officials from several key agencies, according to three people familiar with the matter. Tech companies like Apple, Google and Facebook have increasingly built end-to-end encryption into their products and software in recent years — billing it as a privacy and security feature but frustrating authorities investigating terrorism, drug trafficking and child pornography.
