HTTP/3: The Past, The Present, and The Future — Cloudflare has announced support for QUIC and HTTP/3 on their popular edge network.

Alessandro Ghedini and Rustam Lalkaka Processing 40 TB of Code From 10 Million Projects with Go — There are two parts to this interesting study. First, the why and how of grabbing code from 10 million repositories, and secondly the results of his analysis over the downloaded code. There's basically something for everyone in here, even if it's just the most popular curse words in public repos(!) Ben E. C.

Why not indulge in some fiction from this list of CS-inspired stories. Mozilla has disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in Firefox Nightly in advance of deprecating them entirely. Certainly worth testing at this point. There'll be over 1 billion Windows 10 devices in 2020. Popular chat app Slack has added support for 'shared channels' and revealed they deliver over a billion messages each week. AI researchers are earning a lot of money right now.
