Who’s afraid of the big, bad GPU?

How does AI make you feel? Are you excited to “vibe-code” your smart home? Or anxious about all the added pollution and billions of gallons of water used by data centers? Dig a little deeper and you’ll start to question the actual value of the GPUs that underpin all the leaps and promises of generative […]

America needs to stop getting shocked by Chinese AI

Last week, two Chinese AI companies unveiled models they say can credibly compete with the best systems from OpenAI and Anthropic. The response was swift and predictable. Markets wobbled, commentators declared Silicon Valley shooketh, and policymakers reached for the familiar language of arms races and wake-up calls. In one headline, The Associated Press said a […]

Managed Data Lake: A Guide for 2026

There are two ways to run a data lake. You can manage every table by hand — writing Airflow DAGs, scheduling Spark compaction jobs, building monitoring dashboards, and staffing a platform team that grows linearly with table count. Or you can deploy a control plane that continuously observes every table in the lake, classifies health, sequences maintenance operations, optimizes data layout for real query patterns, enforces policies at lake scale, and adapts as workloads change — while your data s...

Burnout in IT: Addressing Overwork, Poor Support, and Flawed Hiring Processes for Career Satisfaction

The Growing Crisis of Burnout in IT: A Systemic Analysis The IT industry is experiencing a critical exodus of experienced professionals, driven not by external pressures but by systemic failures embedded within its operational framework. Beyond the superficial issues of long hours and tight deadlines lies a deeper structural dysfunction that distorts careers, exacerbates stress, and ultimately compromises the human capital essential to technological advancement. My departure after 12 years a...

Less Art, More Engineering: It Wasn't Measurement

Less Art, More Engineering: It Wasn't Measurement Two and a half years ago I wrote an article called "Less Art, More Engineering" . The argument was simple: software development calls itself engineering but mostly isn't, because it runs on subjective criteria with no verifiable definitions. Readability with no metric. Best practices that contradict each other. Design methods that offer no way to check whether a design is correct. I ended on a promise: the next step is to convert what we kno...

🚀How Two Computers Create a Secret Without Ever Sharing It

For quite a time, I was thinking: how does encryption really work? Like, if I want to send a secret request (like an auth token) to a server, but the network channel is insecure. Thousands of people can see what we are sending. We can't even share a secret password (key) to each other beforehand. Because if we send the password over the network, everyone else will see it and use it too. So how on earth do we connect securely? Then I researched and found out about the legendary minds ...

How to Fix Puppeteer Memory Leaks in Production (and When to Stop Running Chromium)

If you run Puppeteer in production long enough, you eventually meet the same graph: resident memory climbing steadily over hours, flat under test, until a container hits its limit and the OOM killer takes it. The short version is that Puppeteer memory leaks in production are almost never a single bug. They are three problems stacked on top of each other, and the fix is a combination of hygiene, bounding, and an honest question about whether you should be running Chromium at all. This post cov...

Ускорение интернет-магазина на 1С-Битрикс с 7 до 2 секунд: SQL, кеширование, WebP

Интернет-магазин федерального дистрибьютора IT-оборудования тормозил. Страницы каталога и карточки товаров открывались по 7–15 секунд. Показатель отказов вырос до 62%, а позиции в поиске поползли вниз. За 3 рабочих дня мы разобрали проблему и получили LCP 2 секунды, не меняя сервер. С чего начали: диагностика, а не кеширование Первым делом мы не полезли в настройки кеша. Мы проанализировали серверные логи, выделили пиковые нагрузки и нашли три корневые причины: Медленные S...

Welcome to the world of Algorithmic Trading

What is Algorithmic Trading? Algorithmic trading. It sounds so complicated, so sophisticated, yet comes in so many flavours. Contrary to what your intuition might tell you, it doesn't have to be rocket science. It can be, but it doesn't have to be. The simplest form of algorithmic trading is taking something you can already do manually and automating it. That might seem obvious to you, the experienced software developer, but it's such a common assumption for those starting in this space. ...

From Straight Lines to Smarter Models: Understanding Regression and Regularization in Machine Learning

Part 1: Linear Regression — What the Model Actually Does Linear regression is one of the simplest predictive models in machine learning. Its job is straightforward: learn the relationship between a set of input features and a continuous target by fitting the best possible line through the data. If you have many features, that "line" becomes a hyperplane, but the underlying idea stays the same. For multiple features, the model can be written as: ŷ = β₀ + β₁x₁ + β₂x₂ + ... + βₙxₙ Wh...

The Compliant USDT Payout Stack for Contractors: A Pipeline View

Data current as of July 2026 — travel rule enforcement, 1099-DA reporting, and DAC8 registration deadlines are all mid-rollout; verify current requirements before you build on this. Key Takeaways A USDT payout is a pipeline, not a transaction: funding, on-ramp, KYC/screening, custody, broadcast, confirmations, off-ramp, reconciliation — each stage has its own failure mode. Crypto rails don't bypass compliance: KYC/AML, the FATF travel rule, and tax reporting apply on every r...
