Stupid question. If a black hole is a region of space where escape velocity exceeds c, I understand why light can't escape, but a space craft which is propelled does not need to reach escape velocity, so could you use propulsion to escape?

As a test I sent a few links to online brands to my wife on WhatsApp. She's on a different IP address and using an iPhone. She doesn't open the links and doesn't normally use those sites. She then gets adverts for them showing up in her Facebook feed. What's going on?

Autoscaling is important, but our reducing our environmental impact is essential 🌳 That's why I'm super excited to see Azure's carbon-aware KEDA operator go public! https://t.co/TTX9Dopfpn A proposal to contribute it back to KEDA is already open: https://t.co/Xn2iG0fWHn

I don't actually have any computer science education or qualification. So wish me luck! I learnt about as much as my students!!

I started teaching my teenage son the computer science GCSE curriculum. My 7yo daughter listened in. These are her (very comprehensive) notes. I'm amazed.

In the era of AI-assisted software development the role of the senior software engineer will shift more to code review, oversight and high-level design. Although AI-assisted code review is coming.
