Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

This bit from The Times’ story on the killing of Bradley Townsend, a fisherman from Barnsley who volunteered for the Russian Army, leaves quite a lot out. Aiden Minnis is a former member of the National Front who was jailed for four years for a racist attack. "Another Briton”, indeed.
Aiden Minnis, another Briton enlisted with Russian forces, paid tribute to his friend on social media, saying he had "sacrificed his life for our cause".

35 years ago today, Tim Berners-Lee in CERN sent a message to the alt.hypertext newsgroup about the World Wide Web hypertext project he was working on. People could get (via FTP) the software from info.cern.ch and have a play with it themselves. Many did. And here, somehow, we all are.
A screenshot of a post, by Tim Berners-Lee, to the newsgroup alt.hypertext. It reads:

The WorldWideWeb (WWW) project aims to allow links to be made to any  
information anywhere. The address format includes an access method  
(=namespace), and for most name spaces a hostname and some sort of path.

We have a prototype hypertext editor for the NeXT, and a browser for line mode  
terminals which runs on almost anything. These can access files either locally,  
NFS mounted, or via anonymous FTP. They can also go out using a simple protocol  
(HTTP) to a server which interprets some other data and returns equivalent  
hypertext files. For example, we have a server running on our mainframe  
(http://cernvm.cern.ch/FIND in WWW syntax) which makes all the CERN computer  
center documentation available. The HTTP protocol allows for a keyword search  
on an index, which generates a list of matching documents as annother virtual  
hypertext document.

If you're interested in using the code, mail me.  It's very prototype, but  
available by anonymous FTP from info.cern.ch. It's copyright CERN but free  
distribution and use is not normally a problem.

The NeXTstep editor can also browse news. If you are using it to read this,  
then click on this: <http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html> to find  
out more about the project. We haven't put the news access into the line mode  
browser yet.

We also have code for a hypertext server. You can use this to make files  
available (like anonymous FTP but faster because it only uses one connection).  
You can also hack it to take a hypertext address and generate a virtual  
hypertext document from any other data you have - database, live data etc. It's  
just a question of generating plain text or SGML (ugh! but standard) mark-up on  
the fly. The browsers then parse it on the fly.
