Dinosaurs to supercrocs: Niger's bone keepers preserve its ancient fossils

The Sahel country is one of the few African nations to boast rare dinosaurs, but safeguarding them is a challenge. Niamey, Niger – In a corner of the sprawling grounds of Niamey’s only museum – a unique, open-air style arrangement in Niger’s capital that doubles as a zoo – imposing fossil replicas of long-extinct animals stand in a corrugated iron stall.

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge Apr. 25, 2025 [technology] Had my priorities been better aligned, I would have first begun building Linux skills sometime during the Bush (W) administration. It has left me feeling as though I should make up for that lost time. So I’ve decided to reclaim that lost experience of installing and using Debian from around the early-mid 2000s. From there, the plan is to upgrade the installation through each stable release up to present day Debian Stable. And hopefu

Why do we keep gravitating toward complexity?

The Great Pyramids took decades to build. It was a monumental feat of human ingenuity and collaboration. Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code. Yet despite far more advanced tools, these systems don’t always make the experience better. So why, when KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a well-known mantra, do we keep gravitating toward complexity? Marketing > Simplicity Sell me this pen: ✎ What? You don’t know how?

Ghost kitchens are dying

Ghost Kitchens Are Dying. Here's the $15 Billion Lesson Every Restaurateur Must Learn. A ghost kitchen stripped away everything you think makes a restaurant a restaurant. No dining room. No servers.

People Who Hunt Down Old TVs

They are televisions from another era, replaced by the flat screen, high-resolution displays of the modern era. Yet cathode-ray tubes are still surprisingly in demand. The moment he saw pictures of the grubby old televisions for sale, Shaan Joshi knew he had to have them.

I feel Apple has lost its alignment with me and other long-time customers

A first version of this piece was almost ready to be published two days ago, but after writing more than 2,000 words, I grew increasingly angry and exasperated, and that made the article become too meandering and rant-like, so I deleted everything, and started afresh several hours later. This, of course, is about Awe-dropping, Apple’s September 9 event, where they presented the new iPhone lineup, the new AirPods Pro, and the new Apple Watches.

‘The Long Walk’ Star Garrett Wareing on His Character’s Big Surprise
