- The baffling origin of London Stone
- I've been thinking about this the past few days, and it's not really going anywhere logically so I'm just going to brain dump it here in the hope that I can get on with stuff I really actually need to be doing - maybe all this democracy and parliaments business is just a bit of a flash in the pan and perhaps monarchies are going to start to become fashionable and functional again - Not sure how I feel about that, I do know that I find game of thrones daf, but I understand that I am in the minority with that point of view
- I've been reading the Feathers library docs today, which describes the library as an "open source REST and realtime API layer for modern applications" - There are a lot of feature and architectural choices that I really like, but I can't shake the feeling that it is trying to insert itself into some places it shouldn't be, or perhaps it's trying to do too much, it's as if it's something I've seen before but just a fresh coat of pain has been added with some of the bits re-arranged, not entirely sure what it is, but there is something that feels off about it - Maybe at some stage I will have more time to investigate more thoroughly
- Apple Is Locking iPhone Batteries to Discourage Repair
- Frontless.JS is a minimalistic node.js SSR stack for building universal (isomorphic) javascript applications
- How To Get Started With IPFS and Node - Learn what the InterPlanetary File System is and how to store data with it

- How to create and run cron jobs in Node - I've been looking for a module like this for a while now, this looks really useful
