Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- World's "Most Stolen Painting" Restored Centuries After It Was Made, And People Are Horrified. The headline is a bit click-baity, but it's an interesting article.
- Trojan Source attack: Code that says one thing to humans tells your compiler something very different, warn academics. "The way Unicode's UTF-8 text encoding handles different languages could be misused to write malicious code that says one thing to humans and another to compilers."
- See what three degrees of global warming looks like | The Economist. "If global temperatures rise three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the results would be catastrophic. It’s an entirely plausible scenario, and this film shows you what it would look like."
- How Hans Zimmer Conjured the Otherworldly Sounds of ‘Dune’. "The composer worked with a far-flung “band” of collaborators who sung, scraped metal, invented instruments and more for the score."
- Introduction to the Subterranean edition of The Murderbot Diaries, by Martha Wells. The Murderbot Diaries is becoming one of the most popular SF series, and the latest book won a Nebula Award this year.
- Cars Are Going Electric. What Happens to the Used Batteries? "Used electric vehicle batteries could be the Achilles' heel of the transportation revolution—or the gold mine that makes it real."
