On today's episode of Loud in tech, we explore three different topics making headlines in the tech world. First up, we discuss the radiation-hardened-quine repository on GitHub, a self-repairing program written in Ruby that can still function even if one character is deleted. Second, Kaspersky has uncovered a targeted cyberattack with spyware called 'Triangulation' that exploits vulnerabilities in iOS and has affected iPhones belonging to middle and top management staff of numerous companies. Kaspersky has developed a free detection utility for the spyware. Lastly, we discuss a framework by web developer Dave Stewart, who proposes a range of 'invisible' tasks that can add significant delays to project timelines and provides a visualisation of different components and effort levels. Stewart urges developers to be realistic about their time expectations and avoid over-promising on timelines.
