Key sections of the US Constitution were temporarily removed from Congress' website. Provisions including habeas corpus (due process) and the prohibition of nobility titles (like, say, King) vanished from the digital version of the document.

Germany's identity crisis: The trains no longer run on time

BERLIN — Germany: the land of beer, sausage and trains that run on time. Actually, make that the land where 56 percent of trains run on time. More precisely (or imprecisely, depending on how much of a rush you are in), the land where 56 percent of trains arrive within six minutes of the scheduled time — which is the cushion Deutsche Bahn, the national railroad company, allows itself for an “on-time” arrival.

Go Assembly Mutation Testing

While maintaining and developing the Go cryptography standard library, we often spend significantly more time on testing than on implementation.
