summary

Five rapid reports: a DBpedia graph query using dbpedia SPARQL traces the Queen back to a sixth‑century patron saint of beer; a paraglider launch by winch with a vario reaches ~7,000 ft and yields a 3.5 hour, 35‑mile cross‑country flight; a limerick is treated like software with failing specs and is fixed by one small patch to the first line; a Manifesto for Responsible Software Development argues for data minimisation, energy costs (Google ~3 GW/yr) and moral responsibility for weapons; an anonymous Rails hiring system (SMS, pseudonyms, screened coding tests) is built and reports reduced bias after five hires.
