I have been fortunate to lead not just one, but two digital transformation projects as an Architect. And I would say I got lucky under many different counts. First piece of luck β one of the projects was a failure! How can that be lucky you ask? Read on.
Check out the latest post on my blog, where I write about a variety of topics - as long it combines math and code in some way. This post takes a short look at the challenges of controllable devices in a smart grid. https://bitsandtheorems.com/managing-time-shiftable-devices/ submitted by /u/Knaapje [link] [comments]
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...
I was fortunate to start my career with people who truly cared about code quality. Early on, I learned why this matters and how continuous attention to quality positively impacts customer satisfaction. This experience made it natural for me to improve legacy code and constantly seek further enhancements. However, at the beginning of my journey, my perspective was narrowβI saw only the code. So, my efforts focused...
Fuzzing is a technique to automatically detect different kinds of faults in software. It can be used in many different contexts, including the fuzzing of Web APIs such as REST. EvoMaster is an open-source academic-based fuzzer, in development since 2016. For users that want to learn how these techniques work in details, the PDFs of all the academic scientific articles based on EM are available on GitHub as well:...

If youβve ever worked with AWS Step Functions, you know the struggle. Debugging workflows locally? A nightmare. Testing small changes? Deploy, wait, check logs, repeat. The experience has been far from smooth β until now. AWS just launched a Step Functions extension for VSCode, and itβs a huge step forward. But as great as this update is, one big question remains: why is this limited to VSCode? What about IntelliJ,...

Golang is the finest programming language for constructing applications that can scale well and at high density due to the concurrency and performance inherent in the language itself. Kubernetes is the best standard for container orchestration, which gives a platform for deploying, managing, and scaling applications. Together, they constitute a formidable pair for creating unobtrusive and bulletproof microservices....

The rise of data mesh architectures redefines how modern organizations have approached the concept of data security. Standard best practices dictate that data should be centralized, allowing it to be collected, stored, and governed within monolithic systems, such as data warehouses. enabled centralized access control, governance, and 'auditability'. The data mesh model, however, disrupts this architecture and...

I was contacted by my friend Aditya last month with tremendous enthusiasm regarding a new Android feature he had discovered. "Mohit, you won't believe it! I just used Jetpack Compose and it's insane!" At first, I was like, "Whatever dude, another Google framework that will be obsolete next year." But then, Dan showed me his project, and frankly, I was kind of blown away. Why We Started Working With Jetpack Compose...
Improving the place where developers have real conversations and real collaboration.
Ages ago, Firefox shipped βmasonry layoutβ where you simply grid-template-rows: masonry; instead of defining specific rows in a grid or letting them auto-create. It wasnβt terribly powerful but it did the trick for a lot of use cases. There has been renewed interest in this the past year or so, where Google and Apple have [β¦]
Introduction: Why Resiliency Matters If you've ever launched a major feature, only to watch it spectacularly break under pressure, you know exactly why resiliency matters. As a Software Development Manager (SDM) at Amazon, I've been on the front lines of creating systems that handle real-world chaos gracefully. Let's talk resiliency β focusing on critical architectural patterns in plain language: Retries, Circuit...
tl;dr: I am stepping down as GitHub CEO to build my next adventure. GitHub is thriving and has a bright future ahead. The following is the internal post I sent to GitHub employees (Hubbers) this morning announcing my departure. The post Auf Wiedersehen, GitHub appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Building AI applications today needs the crafting of each prompt carefully balanced, but one small change can bring the whole system crashing down. Traditional prompt engineering is brittle, unpredictable, and exhausting to maintain. Thatβs where DSPy (Declarative Self-improving Python) comes in. Developed by Stanford NLP researchers, DSPy takes a totally different approach. Instead of manually tweaking prompts and...
Selenium WebDriver is a popular web automation tool. It automates browsers and enables software teams to perform web automation testing across multiple popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. To scale this testing across different platforms and browser versions, Selenium Grid 4 can be utilized. It works seamlessly with Selenium WebDriver, allowing tests to run in parallel...
When discussing software development and its history, we often hear quotes emphasizing the importance of testing; however, in practice, we usually prioritize it as the last step, perhaps ahead of documentation. Without proper testing, ensuring the quality of your software is nearly impossible. Tests work as a safety certification, catching issues early and ensuring that your software behaves as expected. Despite their...
"It is one of the philosophical enigmas of immunity that the self exists largely in the negative β as holes in the recognition of the foreign." β Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Song of the Cell In biology, the immune system is not simply a defence mechanism. It is a highly sophisticated, adaptive intelligence system that defines the organism by what it does not attack. In other words, immunity is not only...

# Transforming Cybersecurity: The Kintsugi Paradox-Loop CAPTCHA System Most CAPTCHAs frustrate real users and barely slow down modern bots. What if verification could be intuitive, beautiful, and collaborative? The Kintsugi Paradox-Loop CAPTCHA System is an open-source project that reimagines security: bots get trapped in recursive paradox loops, while humans pass through creative, philosophical challenges. Each attack...
Iβve had to share a ton of API keys lately, and it seems wild there isnβt a simple hacker friendly way to do this. I built a easy to use CLI for sharing secrets and the whole process takes about 15 seconds: The receiver runs secret_share and it generates a one-time public key they can send to the sender The sender runs secret_share, pastes in the public key from the receiver, types the secret, and gets an encrypted...

Load balancing seems straightforward, until you run it at scale in dynamic environments. In large systems, whether itβs Kubernetes, container orchestration, or traditional service deployments, upstream servers are constantly changing. Workloads vary in complexity, requests can be uneven, and simple algorithms like round-robin often break down. This post looks at the real-world issues that show up in production: β’...
