Before a Storewide Black Friday Sale, Test the Offer with Shopify Rollouts ‘Test the Black Friday offer before expanding it’: Control keeps the existing offer; Treatment explicitly switches off the old offer and activates the new one, so the groups receive different offers. The home-storage store is a teaching scenario. Main image labels are Chinese. The difficult question behind a Black Friday promotion is often less about setting up the discount than deciding whether it is wort...

Enterprise AI needs more than intelligent models. It needs an execution layer that makes actions controlled, verifiable, and accountable. The AI agent works beautifully in the demo. You give it a task. It reasons through the problem, calls a tool, retrieves information, and produces an answer that looks remarkably close to what an experienced employee might deliver. The team is impressed. The prototype works. Leadership sees the potential. Then someone asks a different question: ...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady What I Built In 2026, asynchronous communication has reached a breaking point for engineering leaders, founders, and technical professionals: The 3 AM Panic Skim: An engineering manager or on-call engineer wakes up to 142 unread messages across incident channels and wastes 45 anxious minutes parsing the timeline, only to discover teammates resolved the outage hours ago. ...

Expert Analysis: Navigating a Career Transition to Software Development at 30 Transitioning to a career in software development at 30, particularly from an unrelated field like aviation, is a formidable yet achievable goal. This analysis dissects the mechanisms, constraints, and system instabilities inherent in such a transition, emphasizing the importance of structured preparation and resource utilization. By understanding these elements, individuals can mitigate risks and maximize opportun...

Introduction: The Automation Paradox As a software engineer, I’ve spent years building systems that automate tasks, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. I’ve seen firsthand how AI and automation can transform industries, streamline workflows, and unlock new possibilities. Yet, the more I witness the celebration of these advancements, the more I find myself grappling with a fundamental question: Why are we so eager to automate away each other’s jobs, and what are we ultimately trying to ac...

Say I were to have a struct Foo { pub public: Bar, restricted: Qux } where ‘restricted’ is some member variable which I want to be able to get, but not set, from outside of the struct methods. Normally, I would write a getter method impl Foo { pub fn restricted(&self) -> &Qux { self.restricted }} which isn’t very much typing, and probably I could generate these automatically with an IDE or a plugin. But all the same, why not build this into the declaration syntax with a ...

Hi HN, I'm Peter Bishop and I've been working in graphics and web tech for over 25yrs. I've recently launched Death Plan Switch to solve a major problem in my succession plan. What if I go missing or die? The right people are told and my business can continue to operate for my clients. There's a backstory to this project, I was hospitalised in 2012 and lost my business back then and I couldn't get the data to my technical 2IC in time without frustrating my clients. Death Plan Switch solves this ...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Monday night that New Yorkers must resist the narrative that an AI takeover is inevitable and demand regulations that protect the public and put power back in their hands.

Flipkart has expanded access to its food-delivery service to thousands of employees ahead of its public launch.

My wife lost her yellow book. So I built her an app. TL;DR: Cuenta is a small app for my wife's wholesale bakery: count what's left on each cafe's shelf, build the delivery, print and email her branded invoice, and see who owes what. I built it for Devpost's Build With AI: Basics hackathon with their skill pack, which interviews you and writes the plan from your answers. The plan caught real problems before any code existed. It also carried one wrong guess all the way to the end, and o...

_ Oleh Rafi Miftah Al Ma'rif — Mahasiswa S-2 Teknik Informatika | Mata kuliah Big Data Analysis and Data Visualisation | Oktober 2026 Setiap semester, kampus menyimpan jutaan baris data: nilai, kehadiran, status pembayaran, jalur masuk, hingga riwayat studi. Sebagian besar data itu hanya berhenti sebagai laporan. Padahal di dalamnya ada sinyal yang bisa memberi tahu kita lebih awal mahasiswa mana yang mulai berisiko putus kuliah. Tulisan ini ditujukan untuk teman-teman mahasiswa yang s...

In my view, AI delivers the most value in sales where inputs and outputs are clearly defined. Tasks that are easy to measure and involve fewer steps are the easiest to automate If you hand all your sales and customer conversations over to AI, it will most likely be a complete failure. There are too many ways an interaction with a real person can unfold Giving it strict, repetitive steps from your existing process is a reasonable move. My recommendation is to automate gradually, starting wi...

Oct 20, 2026 You would expect that when 375 models are each served by at least two providers, the market would have found some pricing equilibrium. It has not. The median input price spread across those 375 models is 0.0%—meaning that for the typical model, every provider charges exactly the same per-million-token rate. Nobody is undercutting anybody. In a market with 137 providers and 4,033 total models, that level of uniformity is not competition; it is coordination by default. But that...

Hey everyone 👋 I'm a security enthusiast focused on network security and web application security. I've been lurking on dev.to for a while, and I finally decided to start writing. Why I'm here Security knowledge is often locked behind paywalls, scattered across obscure forums, or buried in docs that assume you already know everything. I want to do the opposite: share what I learn in plain language, with real examples and reproducible steps. What you can expect from me Practi...

Your Voice Agent Does Not Have One Latency: Build a Conversation SLO “Sub-50 ms” can be a true measurement and a useless production claim at the same time. A team may measure a fast inference kernel, a local voice-activity detector, or the first token from a model and then present that number as the latency of a phone conversation. The caller experiences something else: carrier setup, jitter buffering, speech detection, end-of-turn judgment, transcription, retrieval, tool execution, gener...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady What I Built Your first open-source pull request shouldn't feel like solving a mystery. When I started exploring open source, I realized that contributing isn't just about writing code. Beginners must understand unfamiliar GitHub issues, navigate large codebases, figure out what to test, and prepare a pull request that follows the project's expectations. That learning curve can be intimidating. ...

The usual mental model for locking a reference image is that you're preserving what you specified. You described a character, generated her, picked the best result, and now you're keeping that description steady across later images. A recent test suggests the reference preserves something broader than the description: everything that happened to be in the picture, whether anyone asked for it or not. What happened The character was defined with a deliberately small descript...
