@patcon_ Haha not sure how that happened! Swore I followed you; must have been on GitHub instead. Anyway, absolutely! Are you still in London? I'll DM you my number.

@tobymoses @aamnamohdin Thanks for responding, but can I ask why? Why are the headlines removed from the web/app version, and why is email the best way to read it?

[Tim Wisniewski @timwis]

@guardian Hey, I think there may be an glitch with First Edition. That's two days in a row now that the headlines are missing, and it goes straight into the rest of the opening story. Headlines are nowhere on the article. Any idea what's going on? Viewing on web as subscriber.

Nearly all our tech is in AWS, and our multidisciplinary software product teams work with #Rails, #React, #Docker, and #Kubernetes with modern CI/CD workflows. On the Core IT side, we’re full speed ahead on the zero trust train, as we described recently: https://t.co/cy8oDbIIsu

Congrats to the Infrastructure Team @CitizensAdvice on such a big step toward modernising our technology infrastructure, improving security, and reducing costs! #ZeroTrust

Just once I want to see a hacker in a movie not be able to run their exploit code because their machine has the wrong version of Python installed, and they can’t remember how to remove the one that comes with the OS.

Jamboard users: For some reason, jamboards don't let you export the text from all the post-its, which is a shame. This bookmarklet will copy the text to your clipboard so you can paste it into a document. Hope it helps someone!

@HimalMandalia Wow, hot off the press! Thanks Himal, that's helpful for the big picture 👍🏻

Is anyone aware of benchmarks/surveys of how much government or charity organisations spend on Digital, Data, and Technology? (As a proportion of their overall spend)

[Tim Wisniewski @timwis]

It aggravates me to no end when companies try to control the volume of customer enquiries through making it difficult to contact them, like disabling the ability to reply to their emails. The demand is still there; they’re just hiding it.

[Tim Wisniewski @timwis]

@BretFisher @mikesir87 Thanks. Helpful demo @mikesir87. Hadn’t realised the limitations.

[Tim Wisniewski @timwis]

@BretFisher Hey Bret, I swear I heard you say on your podcast that the new docker compose (the go rewrite) will soon let you use your compose file to deploy to a k8s cluster. But I can't find anything about it on the web. Am I remembering wrong?
