England's water crisis needs more than just new reservoirs—here's what will help
England is facing a water crisis. The UK government has just announced plans to fast-track two massive reservoir projects in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, warning that without them, we could run out of drinking water by the mid-2030s. But as a hydrologist who studies Britain's often erratic weather patterns, I believe these reservoirs alone won't solve our water problems.

Adaptive and Efficient Dynamic Memory Management for Hardware Enclaves
The second version of Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), or SGX2, adds dynamic management of enclave memory and threads. The first version required the address space and thread counts to be fixed before execution. The Enclave Dynamic Memory Management (EDMM) feature of SGX2 has the potential to lower launch times and overall execution time. Despite reducing the enclave loading time by 28--93%, straightforward EDMM adoption strategies actually slow execution time down by as much as 58%…

Last year I made the raised beds. We, unwillingly, shared our harvest with the birds and small mammals.
This spring I built enclosures out of 1” PVC sched 40 pipes with 3/4” PVC Sched 40 side panels.
Our intention this year is to share only with family and friends.
Tomatoes in one bed, Strawberries in the other.
Enclosures are 6’ high to allow easy human access via side panels.
