The People of Utah vs. Kevin O’Leary

On the morning of May 11th, the celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary appeared on Fox Business and announced that he was under attack by Chinese agents.  For weeks, he had been going on TV and posting online to tout his project, called Wonder Valley, after his nickname from the reality show Shark Tank, Mr. Wonderful.

This very fancy e-bike is one of the first to go semi-solid state

The Lemmo 3 is the first cargo bike from the respected German e-bike maker. This premium, step-through longtail is a slightly less insane take on Rivian's Also TM-B, with one major advantage: It's one of the first electric bikes to feature a semi-solid state battery. Semi-solid state batteries are far safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries. […]

Huawei made a whole camera to attach to its latest phone

Over the last few years, Chinese Android manufacturers have followed Vivo's example of launching add-on "teleconverter" lenses for their flagship phones, enabling long-distance photography that the phones on their own could never match. Today, Huawei one-upped everybody with the add-on lens for its Mate 90 Pro Max flagship, which is not only a comically huge […]

I Built a Production-Ready Job Queue in Go from Scratch - Goroutines, Postgres and Clean Architecture published: true

-- I'm Pires Aurélio , a Go Backend Engineer from Luanda, Angola. I build production systems in public. For 2 years I built scrapers and REST APIs. I got tired of tutorials that only show "Hello World" with Gin. No jobs, no retries, no real problems. So I built a real one: A Production-Ready Background Job Queue in Go.

Your Angular Test Passed. Could the User Click the Button?

A visible Angular button was covered by a decorative layer. The handler still worked. Our test clicked the button, observed the expected status, and passed. A pointer could not reach the button's center. Running the same synthetic test in Chromium did not change the result. The missing observation was whether the pointer could actually reach its target. We examined six component scenarios, with expected behavior and one isolated mutation defined before writing each test. We chose the mutat...

Moving focus and cursor between monitors with head pose on macOS

I have two monitors, and I kept typing into the window on the screen I'd just looked away from. Focus stays where it was, but my eyes have moved on. I made a menu bar app to fix it. It moves cursor and focus to the display you're facing. The code is at https://github.com/arefbhrn/FocusFollow (MIT). This post is about how it works and what didn't. Why head pose and not eye tracking Proper eye tracking needs hardware a Mac doesn't have. But to tell two monitors apart yo...

A "3% fee" that's really 27% APR — I built a vanilla JS calculator to prove it

A friend who runs a small delivery business got a factoring quote last month: "just a 3% fee on your invoices." He was ready to sign — his credit card charges more than that monthly. I asked him one question: 3% compared to what? His bank had offered a business credit line at 9% APR. The factoring company quoted 3%. Those numbers aren't in the same unit — one is charged once per invoice, the other is charged per year. So I did what developers do: I built a calculator to convert one int...

Building IntelliDesk AI: How I Architected a Production-Grade Enterprise ITSM Platform with RAG, WebSockets, and Celery

By Pruthviraj Janwade If you have ever worked in an enterprise environment, you know the dread of filing an IT support ticket. You navigate through a labyrinthine portal, fill out a 12-field form with dropdowns you do not understand, and wait 24 to 48 hours just to receive an email asking: "Have you tried restarting your machine?" Tools like ServiceNow , Jira Service Management , and Zendesk are enterprise powerhouses, but they were built in an era of manual triage and static ...

Tokens, Embeddings and the Foundation Model Lifecycle for AWS AIF-C01

An exam question describes a long document, a search request and a model being adapted for a specialist task. Which detail matters first: the words, the vectors or the training stage? For AWS AIF-C01, the reliable answer comes from separating three layers: tokens are what a foundation model processes, embeddings make meaning comparable, and the foundation model lifecycle turns a broadly capable model into a callable system that can improve through feedback. Once those layers are clear, many plau...

Leaving Supabase Cloud: the three failures that produce no error

I moved a production multi-tenant SaaS off Lovable and Supabase Cloud onto a single server I own. Ninety-nine tables, 228 row-level-security policies, and a front end that queries the database directly from the browser. It took about a week. Most of that week went into four or five specific problems, each of which produced a working deployment that was quietly wrong. This is what they were. Supabase is five programs, not one Internalise this before planning anything. What the ...

Walk Me Through How You'd Design a Production Prompt — 9 Interview Questions, Answered

There's one question that opens almost every AI engineering interview's prompt-design section: "Walk me through how you'd design a production prompt for a structured extraction task." It sounds open-ended. It isn't. Interviewers are listening for five specific beats, and the follow-up questions below are how they check for the ones you skip. This is the companion piece to the hands-on Colab notebook where we measured an 80%-to-0% format-drift swing from adding few-shot examples — if ...

I'm sweating bullets

Well, about 4h30m to the interview and I'm stressed. Honestly, this is why I hate interviews, because it seems the more I study up, the more I feel like I dont know what I'm doing, even though I built it... Mostly, because during the tech interview, I was asked really in-depth questions and expected to talk through implementations, quoting method signatures, which isnt really something I consider a skill of mine... Not to mention, last time was just with the Tech Lead... This time it's wit...

Generated files lie until you rerun the generator

Someone changes a protobuf field's type, or reuses a field number. The .proto is reviewed and merged. Nobody ran buf generate . CI is green: the Go still type-checks against the api.pb.go that was already in the tree. A client built from the new proto talks to a server built from the old one, and the compiler never said a word. That's the tax on committing generated code. What's in Git is a snapshot of some past run. The thing that actually defines those files is the command that wrote t...

Who's hiring? Q4 2026

There was interest in expanding the scope of "Who's hiring" posts to non-software engineering positions [link1] [link2] . Some discussion took place, however no actual jobs were posted. I suggest to include that intention into this post and share non-engineering vacancies such as customer support, data entry, field technician, etc. Although, I'd like to remind you this is a computing-focused community, so the jobs should fall into that realm too. Please, use the following template for your ...
