In This Edition:
Bog Bodies, detecting a quantum jump, how not to store passwords, AWS one liners, black illustrations, layoff list and the Anything Face Shield!

I finished reading Bog Bodies a few days ago & I'm still thinking about it. A great book with an engaging, multi-layered & poignant narrative, presented using art & colours that fantastically melt together & bring an Irish story to life. Highly recommended.

Detecting A Quantum Jump

Physicists have discovered a scenario whereby they can detect an imminent quantum jump in state of a qubit. In the experiment, perfectly timed pulses of radiation can reverse the quantum jump when it is detected, keeping the quibit in its ground state.
