Interesting to see, hope they make progress on preventing the spectre attacks, since these are still relevant today. See this paper that was presented at the WHY2025 hacker camp:

Very cool to see a SIDN labs post here. SIDN operates the .nl extension and puts the money earned into these kinds of research projects that benefit everyone.
In the Netherlands we can see the location of every passenger train since the train company just has a public api. Here is a map: https://spoorkaart.mwnn.nl/
Cool that you found this. I’m a student at this university and most alumni I’ve spoken say it is only used for research and a masters degree course course [1]. What’s interesting is that the bachelor course on functional programming gets thought in Haskell.
This is my personal best that worked for me the previous years:
Frontend: angular hosted on any static page hosting like GitHub pages or cloudflare.
Backend: nestjs with typeORM and MySQL or postgres
This is all typescript so even a small team can do a fullstack job.
I would go for a 4U rack case that fits loads of drives and fill it with shucked [1] external hard drives. Just add a cheap motherboard and some pci-e sata expansion boards and your good to go.

Modern vessels are required to have a AIS transponder. This is a radio that sends the ships speed, position, angle and optionally their destination around by marine (VHF) radio. These maps are probably made by having thousands of receivers recording the AIS data.
I would pay $10 if the author got at least payed $8 out of that. But since authors get payed nothing, I rather download the work from some other site and send the author a thank you mail if I really liked their work.
Can’t we just argue that using the * wildcard is just a great feature when you are writing sql queries on test data. I personally use it a lot when writing joins to eventually get the data I want or to execute a aggregating function like count().
But I think it is interesting to know if writing down all your table column names also delivers faster queries in other DBMS systems.
This is hard to work with indeed. But if you eventually want to change program behavior, you just build a class that implements a specific interface and change a config file.
I would argue that universities have two tasks:
1. Do research to expand knowledge.
2. Educate new researchers.
Big tech just wants highly skilled researchers in their workforce, but there only N students graduating every year. So it is only logical for them to "help" (can be good or bad) the university so n+m students graduate. But the bad thing is that the push for more education can negativly impact the available research time professors have.
I think those mini pc’s are cool. But for a practical work machine, I rather buy a ITX motherboard with a powerful processor to build into a as tiny as possible case. This gives you the opportunity to go for commodity hardware which has an excellent price/performance range and still allows you to carry your pc in a backpack.
I do not get why you say that COBOL programmers get paid less. Once you know everything about the systems and the language you should be able to get above market pay because you are really hard to replace. Pay me more or I leave would be a pretty easy management decision.
So it seems that the dealbreaker was that one of tests that downloaded copyrighted material (see the last commit [1]). Seems like a reasonable thing to not do, and just replace those tests with just random cat videos.
They have to make the claim ‘millions of devices run Java true’.
But anyway. A lot of programming languages are going to have to support Arm now. Interpreters for like php and js must be cross-compiled and then most things can work. Like Rust just brought their arm support to the tier 1 support level, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2959
I would say Python in combination with Jupiter notebooks. The calculus class I followed used that and it is great because you can use latex in the notebooks and make plots in python.
Look at this repo for examples: https://github.com/LucaAmbrogioni/CalculusTeachingMaterial
I hate xml so much. But I had a exam at my university a year ago where they would let me type a validation schema for a xml file in notepad++ and a checker on a computer with no internet. The fail rate for that exam was high and the course was outdated, api am glad they updated the curriculum now. I just hope to never work with xml data again.
I find it hard to see what this board offers more than its existing competitors. I’ve used countless agile/scrum/Kanban boards and it is always a pain when they do fit your workflow.
