friday feeds {Aside: How I wish this could be automated!!}

Served up piping hot: a selection of articles from all the feeds I read (when I get some time off work, of course)

Write and Get Fired (being a link to an account of one librarian fired from being a Google Researcher) | Prime Numbers in Python | Tim Bray on the Death of Scholarship (...when students are asked to look up something relevant to their academic work, 45% of them go to Google, 10% of them go to the local library catalog, and the rest scatter among other search engines...) | Whitespace is a language that works on the following principle: Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax (PS: note the date of the posting)
