After development comes deployment - whether on-premise or on a cloud based environment. And then we face a simple question: how much resource should I assign to this system? What is the ideal numbers? If we get this wrong, we often need to go back time and again to fine tune - either to ensure our application is capable of handling the targeted load, or to avoid paying for resources we are not using. This article explains the approach step by step. So that we spend just enough time upfro...

8/29/2026: Top 5 stories on the HackerNoon homepage!

I used to be an avid hiker and would try to go backpacking a few times a year. I always dreamed of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, but life kind of got in the way. (Turns out jobs, wives, and children aren't thrilled with the idea of you disappearing for three months.) But I've been longing […]

If your stack relies on PrimeVue v4, there's a recent change in the project's maintenance lifecycle worth knowing about. PrimeVue v4 has officially transitioned into security-only maintenance mode. As outlined in the project’s documentation, active feature development has ceased, issue tracking is now read-only, and new bug fixes or enhancements are scoped to a separate project line. While this marks a strategic shift for the core maintainers, it introduces strategic risk for engineering t...

Legacy VBScript and Classic ASP are traditionally bound to the Windows native execution engine ( cscript.exe or w3wp.exe ). AxonASP replaces this dependency with a high-performance, cross-platform engine written in Go. Recent benchmarks demonstrate that AxonASP outperforms the native Microsoft implementation in computational execution. The GoF Design Patterns Benchmark Developer Jeffrey Heping ported all 23 Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns to VBScript, implementing stric...

When a company posts a job, that posting comes with a timestamp, and the timestamp is the interesting part. A new "VP of Sales" role usually means budget just got approved and a decision-maker seat is about to be filled. A first "Data Engineer" opening means someone is standing up a data platform right now. Three "Account Executive" listings in one week means a team is scaling its go-to-market this quarter. People call this hiring intent data, and it's one of the more useful buying signals ar...

Introduction 2026-08-28 · PAGI 0.002006–0.002007 (core spec 0.5 / Www sub-spec 0.4) · PAGI::Server 0.002011 If you've been watching the PAGI changelogs this month you've seen a burst of releases — four spec releases and four server releases in five days, with titles full of words like settlement , transition order , and RST_STREAM . This post explains what that churn actually was, why almost none of it requires you to change your application, and why the small part that does tou...

I have been thinking about how loosely the word robotics is sometimes used. Build a circuit, connect a sensor to an Arduino, control a motor, and the project is immediately described as robotics. There is nothing wrong with building those systems. In fact, they are important building blocks for many robots. The problem is that we often confuse the components and technologies used to build a robot with the discipline of robotics itself. Hardware engineering, embedded systems, and robotic...

If your team lives in Notion, your website contact form probably does not fit into that workflow. A visitor fills out your form. The submission lands in an email inbox somewhere, separate from the Notion workspace where your team actually manages clients, projects, and leads. Someone has to notice the email, copy the details, and paste them into Notion by hand. On a busy week, that step gets skipped. The enquiry sits in an inbox nobody checks until it is too late to reply. Moving data from...

I built two systems this year that try to solve the same problem from opposite directions. PlannerCritic puts an LLM critic in a loop with a deterministic gate layer. The gates own the safety contract. The critic is advisory. A planner decomposes a goal into a typed plan. A critic audits every subtask. The plan is revised until approval — or escalated to a human. AdversarialDebate puts two LLMs in a structured debate. The protocol owns the independence. The models are the evidenc...

Human-Aligned Decision Transformers for satellite anomaly response operations for extreme data sparsity scenarios The Moment the Satellite Went Silent It was 3:47 AM on a Tuesday when the telemetry stream from the GEO-7 communications satellite dropped to zero. I was testing a reinforcement learning agent I'd been developing for autonomous satellite operations, and I watched in real-time as my carefully trained policy—one that had achieved 98.7% accuracy in simulated anomaly sce...

Workflow automation is often described as a tooling problem. A team sees repetitive work, connects a few systems, and expects the process to become reliable. But many workflow failures begin earlier, with a basic operating question that nobody has answered: who owns the next handoff? When ownership is unclear, automation can make an existing process move faster without making it dependable. A lead may be captured, enriched, and routed, yet still wait because no person or system is responsible...

Open the Microsoft Copilot app this week and it may be missing a few things you used. As of 18 August, Microsoft began retiring a clutch of free consumer features — the standout being Deep Research, the tool that turned a prompt into a long, sourced report — while it folds its two Copilot apps into one. The most useful of them doesn’t vanish so much as move: the in-depth research successor now sits behind a paid Microsoft 365 plan. Answer first, because the shape of the change matters more th...

This is a slightly unusual post. After almost 20 years of writing software , creating and leading an open-source project, writing multiple books, spending several years as a Microsoft MVP , and generally spending far too much of my free time thinking about developer tools, I've reached a point where I think I know what I want to do next. And I'm not entirely sure what the job title is. So instead of starting with a job title, I'm going to describe the kind of work I'd love to do. ...

This is the first contest I have entered. I built the honesty controls before I built the agent, which is probably backwards for a hackathon and exactly what I wanted to learn from. Everywhere this piece names a limit, the limit is measured rather than modest, and I would rather you find the seams from me than from a clone. I gave an agent two files it had never seen. I did not tell it what was wrong. The harness refuses to build the prompt if the words bug , defect or vulnerability app...

The code essentially gives you a way to rotate a Transformer's internal coordinate system into a canonical basis that aligns with its own weight matrices in a lossless way. By absorbing the normalization gains directly into the adjacent weights and using orthogonal matrices built from the singular vectors of the model, you can transform architectures like Qwen or Pythia without altering their outputs or perplexity scores. Applying this transform reveals the actual hidden geometric structures o...
