- Deep waters 150 meters under the surface of Lake Michigan have gotten warmer over the past few decades, which is probably a bad thing.

- Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich takes us inside an Azure Data Center.
- The last-ever Airbus A380—one of only 251 airplanes to do so since 2007—has rolled off the assembly line in Toulouse, France.
- Software defects and $1,100-an-hour consulting fees may be keeping prisoners in Arizona from release on time.
- Usability expert Jakob Nielsen reviews how the NN Group created their iconic usability heuristics posters 26 years ago.
- Author John Scalzi reviews Zack Snyder's Justice League, a movie I watched over two days this week with about the same reactions as Scalzi's.
