China doubles down on real-name registration laws, forbidding anonymous online posts
China's crackdown on Internet freedom is getting even more intense. Last Friday, the country's top Internet censor announced a new set of regulations (link via Google Translate) meant to eliminate posts by anonymous users on Internet forums and other platforms.…

Security is hard. Security is not composable, either.
TLDR: Abusing CPU power management to completely take over ARM TrustZone (and probably Intel SGX too), by inducing physical faults while trusted code is running.

Sickness Absence Associated With Shared and Open-Plan Offices--A National Cross Sectional Questionnaire Survey - PubMed
Occupants sharing an office and occupants in open-plan offices (>6 occupants) had significantly more days of sickness absence than occupants in cellular offices.
I was surprised (though it's obvious in hindsight) to discover that noise removal always results in information loss and hence can't always help legibility — though under certain conditions it sure helps

Many times a scientist is choosing a programming language or a software for a specific purpose. For the field of scientific computing, the methods for solving differential equations are one of the important areas. What I would like to do is take the time…
every technology sufficiently advanced becomes programmable, intentionally... or not.
