DSB #129

Hi,

it’s Sunday, it’s really windy weather so stay at home and rejoice because the new DSB arrived! My recommendation for this volume is an article with tips for programmers in Computer Science & Science or an interview with Mark Zuckerberg about metaverse in Business and Career. But there are so many other interesting articles like the one about the new concept of cookies by Google or interesting Reddit threads and more and more and many more!

As always, enjoy your reading.
