<p>This week we look at a historical close call with our nuclear weapons, the OLPC laptop, the NSA going after ISIS, good CSS design tips, and ES2019.</p>
<h4><a href="https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29945/the-time-when-a-burning-b-52-nearly-caused-a-nuclear-catastrophe-worse-than-chernobyl">The Time When A Burning B-52 Nearly Caused A Nuclear Catastrophe &quot;Worse than Chernobyl&quot;</a></h4>
<p>I remember reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BUG6T8">Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power</a> by Rachel Maddow several years ago that mentioned some of our close calls with nuclear weapons almost going off by accident. It&#39;s kind of scary and who knows how much more we don&#39;t know.</p>

<p>It&#39;s a shame this didn&#39;t really work out the way many hoped. This is an interesting read on the history and where they are now.</p>

<p>This is a pretty good read in terms of some of the things the NSA and US Military has gone after the internet/media arm of ISIS.</p>
<h4><a href="https://css-tricks.com/design-principles-for-developers-processes-and-css-tips-for-better-web-design/">Design Principles for Developers: Processes and CSS Tips for Better Web Design</a></h4>
<p>Some good pointers for improving the look of websites.</p>

<p>A good summary of what is being introduced in the latest version of JavaScript.</p>
