In extreme heat I'll just wet a t-shirt and wear that in bed with a fan blowing over me. This is the UK, so "extreme" is probably laughable, also not so humid so evaporation still works :)

Interesting...not heard of the openssf (I see they were only formed in 2020?). Regarding secure software development, I've not seen many certs / exams covering the topic, so it's good you've developed those 3 courses. T

Civilian planes fly with transponders - something that you can receive with a $20 bit of hardware. Military aircraft do not turn their transponders on unless they want the world to know where they are.

IMHO you can't really be a software developer without knowing and understanding computer science. Some try but never move beyond web/front-end stuff, which is fine, we need people like that. It is however only a small subset of ac

I think at this point, Rust will not really replace C++ just like how C++ never replaced C. Given the learning curve of Rust and the lack of tools it's still a bit of a gamble to choose Rust over C or C++ IMHO. Why take that risk when

I'm not defending Boris here, but polls are never accurate and hardly ever correct when compared to actual elections. If polls were a real reflection of how the public are thinking why would we ever bother for a full-blown election? T
