We had a lot of rain this winter, more than what we’re used to. It brought water back to our waterfalls and flowers back to our hills. Southern California is covered in wildflowers. (taniainnature)

quotes from Indiana Jones that relate surprisingly well to software development:
- “It belongs in a museum!” – reviewing legacy code.
- “Marion, don’t look at it. Shut your eyes, Marion. Don’t look at it, no matter what happens!” – running legacy code, helps if you are pair-programming with someone called Marion.
- “Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?” – when you find an unexpected Python script in the build system.
- “So once again, Jones, what was briefly yours is now mine.” – explaining Rust lifetimes and the borrow checker.

Interesting STEM Magazines
I’m always looking for interesting online magazines and online news sources for science. I also really enjoy opinion pieces and science history and just stories in general, so with no introduction I’ve made a list of some of my favorite STEM online magazines I think the studyblr/sciblr community especially will enjoy. Coming soon are more lists when I get the time. If you have a suggestion, send me a blurb and a link and I’ll add it. These are just the sites that I particularly enjoy. I’m not adding obvious ones like, pop sci, scientific american, wired, etc.
IEEE Spectrum (news source technically its basically the free version of their magazine)- Tech news with an emphasis on Electrical Engineering- this is run by the EE society/publisher so don’t really expect anything other than bite sized news stories and new tech announcements. I really like it because it gives a wide range of little updates on things happening in the EE community. If you’re even more interested I’d poke around IEE.org they have cool resources
Quanta Magazine - No nonsense science news and stories. Their mission statement is; to enhance public understanding of research developments in mathematics and the physical and life sciences. And I think that really explains it all. They cover pretty much everything, if you don’t already read Quanta I’d suggest subscribing to their newsletter
MIT Tech Review - prob don’t need to introduce this one, I was actually hesitant to list this one for two reasons 1) you quickly run out of “free” articles and I hate sites like that and 2) this should be no surprise, its mainly MIT-centric (don’t blame them for that one) however a lot of super important and cool things come out of MIT so in that respect I’d recommend reading it, I just subscribe through twitter so I get little updates on their news and if it looks really cool I then look up that person’s work somewhere else
Motherboard - imo this can be a real mixed bag. An offshoot of vice, its themes are weirdly unconnected, I can only say it features stories and docs about technology and the future. I don’t subscribe for their tech news but for some really interesting art and STEM projects and interviews with unique angles. It can be kinda fluffy, weird or interesting depending on what the content is. Cool robots, artists doing things with tech, and interviews with bitcoin communities and cyborg wannabes.
Nautilus- I saved the best for last because this one is my favorite! Each month has a different STEM theme that they update each week with a different essay/opinion relating to the subject. Sometimes its science, science history, or essays. It’s all really good imo. A couple months ago it was all about time (time travel, alt universes) It’s my favorite weekly thing.

Famous authors, their writings and their rejection letters.
Sylvia Plath: There certainly isn’t enough genuine talent for us to take notice.
Rudyard Kipling: I’m sorry Mr. Kipling, but you just don’t know how to use the English language.
Emily Dickinson: [Your poems] are quite as remarkable for defects as for beauties and are generally devoid of true poetical qualities.
Ernest Hemingway (on The Torrents of Spring): It would be extremely rotten taste, to say nothing of being horribly cruel, should we want to publish it.
Dr. Seuss: Too different from other juveniles on the market to warrant its selling.
The Diary of Anne Frank: The girl doesn’t, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the ‘curiosity’ level.
Richard Bach (on Jonathan Livingston Seagull): will never make it as a paperback. (Over 7.25 million copies sold)
H.G. Wells (on The War of the Worlds): An endless nightmare. I do not believe it would “take”…I think the verdict would be ‘Oh don’t read that horrid book’. And (on The Time Machine): It is not interesting enough for the general reader and not thorough enough for the scientific reader.
Edgar Allan Poe: Readers in this country have a decided and strong preference for works in which a single and connected story occupies the entire volume.
Herman Melville (on Moby Dick): We regret to say that our united opinion is entirely against the book as we do not think it would be at all suitable for the Juvenile Market in [England]. It is very long, rather old-fashioned…
Jack London: [Your book is] forbidding and depressing.
William Faulkner: If the book had a plot and structure, we might suggest shortening and revisions, but it is so diffuse that I don’t think this would be of any use. My chief objection is that you don’t have any story to tell. And two years later: Good God, I can’t publish this!
Stephen King (on Carrie): We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias. They do not sell.
Joseph Heller (on Catch–22): I haven’t really the foggiest idea about what the man is trying to say… Apparently the author intends it to be funny – possibly even satire – but it is really not funny on any intellectual level … From your long publishing experience you will know that it is less disastrous to turn down a work of genius than to turn down talented mediocrities.
George Orwell (on Animal Farm): It is impossible to sell animal stories in the USA.
Oscar Wilde (on Lady Windermere’s Fan): My dear sir, I have read your manuscript. Oh, my dear sir.
Vladimir Nabokov (on Lolita): … overwhelmingly nauseating, even to an enlightened Freudian … the whole thing is an unsure cross between hideous reality and improbable fantasy. It often becomes a wild neurotic daydream … I recommend that it be buried under a stone for a thousand years.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was turned down so many times, Beatrix Potter initially self-published it.
Lust for Life by Irving Stone was rejected 16 times, but found a publisher and went on to sell about 25 million copies.
John Grisham’s first novel was rejected 25 times.
Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul) received 134 rejections.
Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) received 121 rejections.
Gertrude Stein spent 22 years submitting before getting a single poem accepted.
Judy Blume, beloved by children everywhere, received rejections for two straight years.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle received 26 rejections.
Frank Herbert’s Dune was rejected 20 times.
Carrie by Stephen King received 30 rejections.
The Diary of Anne Frank received 16 rejections.
Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rolling was rejected 12 times.
Dr. Seuss received 27 rejection letters
