Software engineers are easy to recruit and not terribly in demand, at least according to 611 IT leaders from across the globe that were surveyed by Tech Monitor in March and April 2021. Only 20% believe it is hard to recruit software engineers, while over 80% find it difficult to hire those with cloud, cybersecurity,…

Owners like Steve Ballmer can take the kinds of deductions on team assets — everything from media deals to player contracts — that industrialists take on factory equipment. That helps them pay lower tax rates than players and even stadium workers.

The genes that cause Romanesco, a kind of cauliflower, to grow in a fractal pattern have been identified. Researchers were subsequently able to manipulate one of those genes and get it to function …

The InfiniBand interconnect emerged from the ashes of a fight about the future of server I/O at the end of the last millennium, and instead of becoming

A post that discusses what RISC-V is and why it’s important, teaches readers how to install the GNU RISC-V toolchain, and walks through building and running a simple C program on emulated RISC-V hardware.

We decided to build our own serverless engine, one that would not be limited by existing implementations. The first version of Koyeb was built on top of Kubernetes and allowed us to quickly build a working cloud platform. After a few months of operating with this version, we decided to move user workloads from Kubernetes to a custom stack based on Nomad, Firecracker, and Kuma.

vizex is a command line interface program that shows how much free disk space you have. vizex is free and open source software.

Computing devices are wonderful; they surely must be, since so many of us have so many of them. The proliferation of computers leads directly to a familiar problem, though: the files we want are always on the wrong machine. One solution is synchronization services that keep a set of files up to date across a multitude of machines; a number of companies have created successful commercial offerings based on such services. Some of us, though, are stubbornly resistant to the idea of placing our data in the hands of corporations and their proprietary systems. For those of us who would rather stay in control of our data, systems like Syncthing offer a possible solution.

The problem Your API needs to return a list of entities. The list can be quite big, even if you designed useful filters. Most of the time a client doesn’t need the entire list because: UX will suffer. If you have a frontend application, users don’t need to scroll thousands of entities at once. Performance will suffer. This happens both on a client and backend. The client needs to parse and render all retrieved entities, backend needs to read them all from a database.

I collected 8 different low cost options for the Raspberry Pi and evaluated them for sound quality and ease of use. Here are my findings.

In some countries, people want more freedom of speech. In others, they feel that there is too much.

Instantly identify exact wiring configurations as well as diagnose broken connections with the Arduino Cable Tracer.

This unique keyboard lets you extend your desktop onto its top half. It has a 12.6" ultrawide (1920 x 515) touchscreen and connects to computers or mobile devices via USB Type-C. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android devices. Comes in 98-key scissor-switch and 71-key mechanical versions. It looks kind of familiar to us.
