Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race. Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

One guy. One Navy ship. One file. 1 trillion databases. He built it alone in 2000. And gave it away forever. 🤯 Meet D. Richard Hipp 🇺🇸 > American developer. Born 1961 in North Carolina. > In 2000, working as a contractor on a US Navy destroyer. > Got frustrated with bulky databases that needed servers and setup. > Built SQLite in his spare time ~ a single-file database engine. > No server. No installation. No configuration. Just one file. > 25 years later, every iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows PC runs SQLite. > Powers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype. > Runs inside Tesla cars and commercial airplanes. 🚀 > Over 1 trillion SQLite databases active worldwide today. > Put the entire codebase in the public domain. Zero royalties forever. > Trillion-dollar companies use his code. He's never charged a cent. > Still maintains it full-time with a tiny team of 3. > Pledged free support and updates until at least 2050. > No VC money. No acquisitions. No spotlight. Just code. Every app on your phone runs his invisible masterpiece. Most engineers build for fame. He built for forever. Database GOAT. 🐐

The RF world is insane. Researchers recovered AES-128 keys from a Bluetooth chip by listening to its own antenna from 10 meters away. Crypto-engine switching noise couples into the RF chain, rides the 2.4 GHz carrier, and leaks out as radio.

Oh, will you look at that. These are real images of Earth, captured by NASA's Landsat satellites. The website is going viral right now because you can spell your name using individual satellite images that resemble letters. We used the tool to spell out this message — can you tell what it says? And the program that made it possible? Funded by the Science Mission Directorate that's now facing a 46% cut. Try it yourself: science.nasa.gov/specials/yo…

Thanks, they'll come in handy for the crazy #stlwx over the next 24 hours.
The Y'all Squad showed up in St. Louis today and handed out 1,000 NOAA weather radios drive-thru style. We want to make sure everybody has a way to get warnings before these big storms hit. Thank y'all for making this possible.
