Upgrading Project X — a legacy WebSocket application — revealed the pitfalls of scaling real-time systems without centralized state management. By introducing Redis as a distributed store and message broker, the author eliminated sticky-session dependency, enabled seamless cross-instance communication, and achieved stateless scalability. The article details the full implementation process, from connection lifecycle handling to message routing and fault-tolerant architecture, offering developers a practical roadmap for scaling WebSocket infrastructures efficiently.

Heading back to school? We tested the best AirPods you can buy for studying, tuning into virtual classes, and jamming out to music.

AI is transforming SEO into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), where relevance, trust, and context matter more than keywords. Adjust your strategy to stay visible.

Gcore has successfully mitigated one of the largest DDoS attacks recorded to date. Multi-regional DDoS attack reached a peak bandwidth of 6 Tbps (terabits per second) and a packet rate of 5.3 Bpps (billion packets per second). Attack targeted a hosting provider operating in the gaming sector.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents a fundamental inflection point in the nature of professional value and competitive advantage, argues the report. The report concludes that the most critical skill for the coming decade is not the mastery of a specific tool, but the mastery of learning itself.

If there's one thing that annoys me, it's pulling out a bird's nest of cables from my bag. This cable puts an end to that.

Symfony’s ObjectMapper eliminates repetitive DTO-to-entity code by mapping objects directly (no array round-trip), supports updates to existing entities, and offers fine-grained control via #[Map] for renaming, transforming, and conditional mapping. It plays nicely with modern workflows (#[MapRequestPayload] for DTOs, then map to domain), keeps controllers lean, improves testability in hexagonal architectures, and can ease legacy refactors. Use the Serializer for format conversion; use ObjectMapper for object-to-object. Although currently experimental, it already delivers cleaner, faster, and more maintainable API layers.

Fortra acknowledges the exploitation of a critical vulnerability in the GoAnywhere file transfer service. Harvard University is investigating a potential security breach following a threat from a cybercrime group. A banking Trojan is targeting WhatsApp users in Brazil. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is experiencing workforce reductions due to ongoing government concerns. SimonMed reports that a data breach in January affected 1.2 million patients. The Netherlands has taken action, invoking the Goods Availability Act against a Chinese semiconductor company. The UK fined 4chan for non-compliance with its Online Safety Act. A business breakdown revealed that Synechron acquired RapDev, Calitii, and Waivgen. Hackers have been manipulating casino card-shuffling machines for illicit advantage. The CyberWire podcast featured Mickey Bresman, discussing hybrid identity security and the HIP Conference.

A full-stack developer creates a custom Shadcn UI component registry. The registry allows him to easily reuse and share his own UI components across projects. The project uses a specific folder structure for registry items. It is deployed on Vercel, to host the registry at a public URL.

With the recent release of the Sony WH-1000XM6 comes a price drop on earlier models, including a hot new discount on the Sony WH-1000XM5.

This tutorial shows how to fine-tune TensorFlow’s DeepLabV3 with a MobileNetV2 backbone using Model Garden. You’ll load Oxford-IIIT Pets via TFDS, convert samples to TFRecords, initialize from a pre-trained checkpoint, adjust experiment configs (classes, input size, batch, optimizer), train/evaluate with a mirrored strategy, and export the trained model for serving. It’s a practical, reproducible path from dataset prep to SavedModel.

Large language models are reshaping how we write software. With a few prompts, developers can generate boilerplate, integrate dependencies, write tests, and scaffold entire systems in a fraction of the time it used to take.

4 min readSay goodbye to long-lived personal access tokens as you replace them with ephemeral, policy-driven credentials and automated service account management.

By using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, developers can build agentic workloads using a comprehensive set of enterprise-grade services that help quickly and securely deploy and operate AI agents at scale using any framework and model, hosted on Amazon Bedrock or elsewhere. AgentCore services are modular and composable, allowing them to be used together or independently. To […]

This hands-on tutorial shows how to fine-tune a Mask R-CNN with a MobileNetV2 backbone using TensorFlow Model Garden. You’ll download LVIS annotations, generate TFRecords from COCO images, load a registered Mask R-CNN experiment config, adapt it for a small custom class set, set training hyperparameters, run distributed training, evaluate, and finally export a SavedModel for deployment. Code and configs follow TensorFlow best practices; original samples are CC BY 4.0 / Apache 2.0.

In what marks the end of an era, Microsoft has released the Windows 10 KB5066791 cumulative update, the final free update for the operating system as it reaches the end of its support lifecycle. [...]

This tutorial demonstrates how to visualize object detection datasets in TensorFlow using TFRecords, decode ground-truth labels, and overlay bounding boxes and masks for better model insight. It concludes with evaluating model performance using mean Average Precision (mAP), following COCO standards, and offers tips on debugging visualization and training logs for accurate detection results.

Switching from eager to graph execution with tf.function can make TensorFlow faster and more portable. This guide shows how AutoGraph converts Python control flow, how to avoid retracing, and when Grappler/XLA deliver real speedups.

A new side-channel attack called Pixnapping enables a malicious Android app with no permissions to extract sensitive data by stealing pixels displayed by applications or websites, and reconstructing them to derive the content. [...]

Large language models don’t just predict the “right” next word—they sample from a probability distribution shaped by a parameter called temperature. A low temperature makes responses focused and deterministic; a high temperature adds creativity (and chaos). This article breaks down what temperature really does—mathematically and intuitively—so you can tune it with confidence instead of guesswork.

Microsoft has reminded that Exchange Server 2016 and 2019 reached the end of support and advised IT administrators to upgrade servers to Exchange Server SE or migrate to Exchange Online. [...]
