Given all the logistics involved, it's unlikely that humanity will ever see our way outside the Solar System to colonise exoplanets. But the possibility of settling elsewhere inside the Solar System isn't so far-fetched. It's all fun-and-games until the Belters drop some rocks on your head
Apologies if you're not caught up on the books/show.

In Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 Preview 3 we added support for deploying CMake projects to a remote Windows machine and debugging them with the Visual Studio remote tools. Works fine on your machine, while you debug on another machine

Security staff in global businesses don’t have much of an influence when it comes to budgeting and developing secure applications, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Radware. On the bright side, that means they get to fix more security bugs?

I know quite a few who've lost their marbles. Unfortunately, I'm in both clubs..I'm doomed.
On the other hand they may want to come here and create a websites for coders... Exhibit A.

By leveraging Wasm for software containerization, we create universal binaries that work anywhere without modification, including operating systems like Linux, macOS, Windows, and also web browsers. If it's good enough for the web, it must be good enough for everywhere?

I wonder if there's any cross pollination between this project and what Unity is doing with C# as a scripting language for games? A lot of what's needed to make something run on a low end microcontroller would seem to overlap with what Unity needs to do to keep frame rates smooth even if your embedded project doesn't have real time constraints. A lot of what Unity's doing is coding convention related; avoiding allocating/destroying temporary variables both directly and indirectly (ie all the stuff Linq does behind the scenes) to avoid triggering GCs that would blow the 16ms window between frames at 60FPS.

RHEL is now free for dev teams, and it's even free in production for up to 16 systems. A freely-downloadable Linux? Wow.

So they're still extending the you! Pay Me! finger to larger businesses, and setting a trap for smaller ones that will (unless they go out of business) almost certainly end with an you! Pay Me! situation. That's so much better than before.

To be fair, there is an escape route for businesses that outgrow the arbitrary 16 server free thing (and for entities for whom it could never be adequate such as HPC users). Even with the loss off CentOS, no one is really stuck with Red Hat even if one wants/needs to remain compatible with it.
I do know that if Red Hat shares were publicly available (are they?), I would not now be buying.
In theory, it's the cloud offering that is where their real value lies (which is why IBM bought them) and yet stuff like the CentOS debacle causes me to discount what significant value they might otherwise have.
Om the other hand, they could pull off a blinder of a strategic move and make RHEL entirely free at all scales (thus winning back HPC users and potentially everyone) and then charge optionally for support. It is, afterall, per-server support that they notionally sell anyway. In other words, they could copy Oracle's business model with OL, which bizarrely Oracle have not marketed as heavily as I would have done in Oracle's position.

Yeah, kind of an awkward (to my eyes) use of "codes", but that's their Nature
