If you build a contact page you may have faced the same issue as me β spam. I recently published my portfolio as a freelancer dev & devops, which contains a contact form. I got a little bit surprised when I checked the submissions I got, as one guy (Mr. Mow) made over 900 submissions. This contact form sends a recapitulative email, so the people who received it complained... To prevent this from happening again, I...
The race to deploy fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) is accelerating. Waymo has already reached over 250k trips per week while Tesla and Zoox are ramping up. The key question for scaling is not βCan AVs drive?β but βHow to know AVs are safe and reliable at scale?β As developers, we live by a simple creed: if itβs not tested, itβs broken. We write unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to gain confidence. But...

As someone who was always curious about how Netflix seems to read my mind, I dove deep into their recommendation algorithm. What I found was fascinating - it's not magic, it's Matrix Factorization. I wrote this comprehensive breakdown because most explanations either assume you have a PhD in math or oversimplify to the point of being useless. I tried to hit the sweet spot - technical enough to be useful, simple enough...

In an application meant for concurrent execution need of sharing data (or context) between threads is imperative. The available design choices are to pass the context as method parameter(s) or enable the context to be universally accessible (viz. global variable or equivalent). While former choice (i.e. context as method argument) is easiest it doesnβt scale well. As the application evolves, the context too grows and...
