Kazakhstan's President Tokayev stated that Russia is militarily invincible and further escalation could lead to irreversible consequences. He mentioned that the chance for peace was lost after the rejection of the Istanbul agreements in 2022, but there is still a possibility for achieving peace.
I keep reading about the slow progress of integrating Rust code into the Linux kernel. Sometimes the C community suggests that the Rust folks should just write their own Rust kernel. My question: is this happening?

Tech billionaire returns to Earth after first private spacewalk.
From AP: "[Jared] Isaacman became only the 264th person to perform a spacewalk since the former Soviet Union scored the first in 1965, and SpaceXâs Sarah Gillis the 265th. Until now, all spacewalks were done by professional astronauts."

That sounds like a wonderful course. I taught a G.E. science fiction course for many years. A lot of my students were engineers trying to fulfill a literature requirement. I used to say to my engineering colleagues that I had the very best engineers in that course, the ones who not only had technical skills but who also wanted to read and write. My focus was more on story craft and big ideas than a coherent history. I always started with Asimov's robot stories, then a Golden Age novel, often Alfred Bester's _The Stars My Destination_, followed by newer stuff. I gave students a choice between submitting a critical paper or a short story at the end. Almost all chose to write stories. Some of them were quite good.
The in-class sessions were almost always like dorm room bull sessions about big ideas. It was a lot of fun.
AFTER THE FLOODS...
