• A “clean-room” re-plotting workflow was proposed for legally re-using copyrighted scientific figures: one person extracts numerical data (not copyrightable), a second re-plots it, and the new figure cites the original—mirroring hardware reverse-engineering practice.

• Real-time, linkable HTML IRC logs were deployed on gnusha.org using irclog2html plus a file-alteration monitor; kanzure’s patch adds per-message anchor tags so any line can be referenced immediately after it appears.

• Tesla’s fleet is reportedly collecting ~1 million miles of driving data every 10 hours, prompting discussion of the need for an open, time-scrollable “street-view” database and the nascent OpenStreetView project from the OpenStreetMap community.

• kanzure surveyed minimalist SIP/VoIP libraries in Python (aiosip, p2p-sip, sipsimple) as starting points for lightweight voice applications and later reported “defeating SIP,” indicating progress on telephony/VoIP tooling.

• A new Haskell-embedded language, “Delta-Lambda 0.2.0.0,” was released by a mechatronics graduate with expertise in logic, category theory, and topology; the author is seeking employment and résumé forwarding was requested.

• The BioHack The Planet conference (Counter Culture Labs) live-streamed talks including nitrogenase directed-evolution work; talks recorded under CC BY-SA 4.0 will form an open-access archive despite last-minute organizer chaos.

• Python bindings for CGAL (cgal-bindings on PyPI) were highlighted as a ready-made computational-geometry resource for open-source biotech tool development.

• A circulated university professor’s list of “10 things most software developers don’t understand” covered functions, code reuse, multi-threading, ASTs, CAP theorem, and Turing.
