On an August evening in 1991, a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds posted a message to a Usenet newsgroup apologising that his hobby operating system was ā€˜just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu’ — and the kernel he was building now runs roughly 90 percent of the world’s cloud servers and every Android phone

On 25 August 1991, a 21-year-old Finnish student posted a Usenet message apologising that his hobby operating system would "never be big and professional." The kernel he attached now runs roughly 90 percent of the world's cloud servers and every Android phone on Earth.

Fujitsu engineers could remotely alter subpostmaster accounts without their knowledge — and the Post Office told courts for years that they couldn’t

For fifteen years, the Post Office told courts that Horizon's branch accounts could only be altered by the subpostmaster at the counter. Fujitsu engineers in Bracknell could rewrite them remotely — and the denial of that capability is the load-bearing beam under more than 700 wrongful prosecutions. Read more ›

We imagine that hitting the big goal — the promotion, the house — will bring lasting joy, but feel strangely flat once we arrive. Psychology has a name for this: the arrival fallacy

I am not a psychologist, and what follows is reading and reflection on a handful of studies, not advice about your life. The research here describes tendencies in groups of people, not laws that apply to everyone the same way, so take it as a lens rather than a verdict on how you in particular ...

Thought of the day from Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius: ā€œEach of us lives only in the present, this brief moment; the rest is either a life that is past or is an uncertain future.ā€

The mind does not like the present. Left to its own devices, it drifts. It runs back over a conversation from last week and replays the part you wish you’d handled better, or it leans forward into next month and starts rehearsing things that haven’t happened and may never happen. The one place it seems ... Read more Read more ›

One question Gallup uses to gauge if people are engaged at work sounds too personal to belong – but it turns out to be one of the strongest predictors of retention and well-being, a quiet reminder that even jobs ultimately run on human friendship

The first time I read it, I thought it was a typo. Sitting in a list of perfectly sensible workplace statements, the kind about clear expectations and having the right tools to do your job, was a line that read more like something a child might ask: do you have a best friend at work? ...

I caught myself thinking something the other day that I’m not proud of.

The Murchison meteorite that fell on an Australian town in 1969 contains grains of stardust 7 billion years old, meaning the dust predates the Sun itself and is the oldest solid material ever held in a human hand

In 1969, a fireball broke over the Victorian town of Murchison and scattered carbon-rich stones across the paddocks. Inside them sat grains of silicon carbide that condensed in dying stars roughly 7 billion years ago — older than the Sun, older than the Earth, and the most ancient solid material ever held in a human hand.

A Roman shipwreck found off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901 held a corroded bronze device with dozens of interlocking gears, and X-ray scans later revealed it was an analogue computer built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and the positions of planets.

Sponge divers found a corroded bronze lump in a Roman shipwreck off Antikythera in 1901. X-ray scans revealed at least 30 interlocking gears built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and planetary positions — a mechanical computer 1,400 years ahead of anything comparable. Read more ›

In 1962, NASA’s Mariner 1 Venus probe veered off course 293 seconds after launch and had to be destroyed mid-flight, because a single missing overbar in the guidance equations turned a smoothing instruction into a command to chase a phantom signal

On July 22, 1962, Mariner 1 became the first American interplanetary probe — and the first to be destroyed in flight. The cause was a single missing overbar in a handwritten guidance equation, which turned a smoothing instruction into a command to chase radar noise. Read more ›
