idk what an S3 bucket is but any public health professional or historian of medicine could have told you "don't leave abandoned buckets lying around, or some parasite will use them to launch malicious payloads, possibly including nasty worms and viruses"

Very much enjoying #ProvingGround by #KathyKleiman - this is the story of the ENIAC 6. I have read a good bit about #ENIAC but this is the first account that centers the women who brought it to life.

In a refreshing change of perspective, Mauchly, Eckert, Goldstine, von Neumann etc are all in rather peripheral roles and only appear from time to time.
