UK faces legal challenge over attempt to force through data center development

The U.K. government is facing a legal challenge from campaigners over its decision to override a local authority and wave through development of a new "hyperscale" data center. Last year, the local authority of Buckinghamshire, England, denied planning permission for proposals to build a new 90-megawatt data center on green belt land.

Basic dependency injection in OCaml with objects

In his article Why I chose OCaml as my primary language, my friend Xavier Van de Woestyne presents, in the section Dependency injection and inversion, two approaches to implementing dependency injection: one using user-defined effects and one using modules as first-class values. Even though I’m quite convinced that both approaches are legit, I find them sometimes a bit overkill and showing fairly obvious pitfalls when applied to real software.

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-18 09:01:11

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But
