Linux drivers make working with devices so easy - assuming you know how. The most basic of all hardware is the GPIO and the sysfs way of working is now obsolete. Find out what the new way of doing things is all about.

Alan Turing is known for the "Turing Machine", but this is a theoretical device used to prove what computers can do. What is less well-known is that he designed a real physical computer - the ACE, which is now featured on the Bank of England's new £50 note.

We all know about off-by-one errors and also know that, however aware of the problem you might be, they manage to bite us eventually. What about applying the power of deep learning? Perhaps this magic could save us from this most pernicious problem.

Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman are the recipients of the 2020 ACM A.M. Turing Award. Considered to be the Nobel Prize of computing, this annual award, is worth $1 million and recognizes significant fundamental contributions to computing.

Here's a treasure trove of free educational resources for learning how to query and build Web (RESTful) APIs. All that with .NET.

The developers of PeachPie have released version 1.0 of the open source development platform that can be used to treat PHP as a native .NET language. Work on version 1 of PeachPie has concentrated on getting PHP projects running on .NET fluently. 

There's a new tool that can identify resource-hungry regular expressions that can be potentially exploited in launching ReDos attacks.

Apache Ignite, a distributed database for high-performance computing with in-memory speed, has been updated with support for Spark DataFrames and machine learning.

If you found calculus hard be prepared to be shamed, as is appropriate, by a small bacterium. Escherichia coli, aka E.coli, has the smarts to be able to compute a derivative and use it to optimize its behavior.

Forecasts suggest that there will be more than 75 billion IoT connected devices in use by 2025. This is an expansion that we cannot afford to ignore.

Microsoft has announced a bug bounty program for applications with awards of up to $30,000. The first app to be added to the program is Teams, its Office 365 business communications software that can be used for videoconferencing and workplace chat.

The final design of the banknote featuring Alan Turing has been unveiled by the Bank of England. GCHQ, the UK's intelligence and security organization, which has a tradition off setting puzzles, has come up with a Turing Challenge based on aspects of Turing's work featured on the £50 note.

Crystal, a new programming language with a Ruby-like syntax, has reached version 1. The developers say the language syntax is now stable and they have planned maintenance releases. Crystal is a programming language with a syntax similar to Ruby, though Ruby compatibility isn't a goal of the developers.
