We have another slow weekend of news today. First, the Army National Guard announced that it had a data breach. This does not sound as bad as the last government breach, but it is still bad. MIT News reports on a program that fixes old code faster than “expert engineers”. The ideas in the project sound interesting, but I will believe the details when I see this in action. Flowing Data shows us a map of just the time zones. Without the typical map boundaries, you can see how weird the time zones really are.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
