Automating AWS EC2 Management with Python and Boto3
In this article I will be demonstrating the use of Python along with the Boto3 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) which allows folks knowledgeable in Python programming to utilize the intricate AWS REST API's to manage their cloud resources. Due to the vastness of the AWS REST API and associated cloud services I will be focusing only on the AWS Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) service.

How To Learn Fortran - Introduction
Fortran is a programming language specially designed to perform numerical calculations, in order to fully exploit the arithmetic capabilities of all types of computers, from home PCs to supercomputers. Its name is an abbreviation: Formula Translating System, which refers to the niche to which the language is addressed: to scientists and engineers who require an easy-to-use but powerful language.
Historically, Fortran began as a language designed to be written on punch cards used by the IBM 704 mainframe computer. Today, this version of the language is known as FORTRAN I. Subsequent versions were released (II, III and IV), which added new features. The language was standardized in 1966 by the Association of Standards of the United States (American Standards Association).For the year of 1978, the committee approved a new version of the language, FORTRAN 77, which improved the support for structured programming, in addition to adding new features. Among several versions of the language that existed (such as Minnesota FORTRAN), FORTRAN 77 became the most important, and it stayed that way for almost two decades. The constant development of programming practices led to the publication of a new standard: Fortran 90 (ANSI, 1992) with which the language implemented many novelties: for the first time it allowed the development of programs in free format, in addition to it allowed writing the keywords in lowercase, and the length of the identifiers could be up to 31 characters, among many other improvements.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
