Hey there! It's exciting to see how AI changes how we work and create stuff. I've been trying out many new AI tools recently, and I want to share my favorite picks for June 2024. These tools are amazing and could help you whether you're making content, running a business, or just curious about AI.
On July 19, 2024, Microsoft's Azure cloud services experienced a significant outage, causing widespread disruption. This incident affected multiple Microsoft 365 applications and impacted various industries globally. Here's what developers need to know:
Today, a significant portion of all content on the Internet is distributed with the use of CDNs (Content Delivery Networks). At the same time, there is no research on how various censors extend their influence on such networks. Scientists from the University of Massachusetts analyzed possible methods of blocking CDN content using the example of the practices of the Chinese authorities, and also developed a tool to bypass such blocks.
We (specialists from proxy service) have prepared an overview material with the main conclusions and results of this experiment (translate of this material).
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to deploy a full-stack JavaScript web app into Firebase. We’ll deploy a Next.js application to Firebase hosting. I’ll show you a quick and efficient process that can be completed in 5 minutes.
In this article, I want to showcase AI tools for creating summaries from YouTube videos. These AI tools can quickly summarize a video's content so you don't have to watch the entire thing. I'll demonstrate how to use these AIs to rapidly extract the main points from videos.
Corporations that dominate the market can impose their conditions on customers. This is also the case with everyone's favorite Netflix. When you make good content and you are sure that your audience wants to consume your content, you can start to increase the subscription price gradually. But the distribution of subscription costs around the world is unequal. This happens not only with Netflix, it happens with many big corporations: Microsoft, Sony, etc.
Naturally, everyone wants to watch high-quality content, but no one wants to overpay for it. And that led to creation of different schemes, for example, the one I'm going to describe here.
The essence of the scheme is simple – you buy a subscription for another region while staying in your home region. Of course, you can do this, but before I describe the scheme in detail, you should understand that Netflix is not as simple as it seems. When buying a subscription, for example, as a user from Pakistan, you should know that only the content that is allowed in that country will be available to you. Meaning, any sign of eroticism in movies, for example, is forbidden there.
And now this scheme appears in a completely opposite light. You can use my scheme if you want to access content that is blocked in your country, but you need to be prepared that the price will not be the same as for your region.

We are requesting 20,000,000 euro to place 900 orders on the exchange. What could go wrong?
Today, I will explain how to avoid losing billions in client money when executing large transactions on the exchange. This discussion focuses on an often overlooked and largely invisible problem that arises when handling large requests, particularly HTTP requests, which may not be fully executed. It's surprising how little attention is given to this issue and how few tools there are to address it.
Our task was to implement large-scale management of exchange orders, not just within a single exchange but globally, and to ensure it operates reliably. In this story, you'll encounter clients, servers, and cats. Stories are always more enjoyable with cats.
Today, I want to talk about one of those sneaky tricks that can help speed up query execution. Specifically, this is about reordering conditions in WHERE clauses, JOINs, HAVING clauses, and so on.
The idea is simple: if a condition in an AND chain turns out to be false, or if one in an OR chain turns out to be true, there's no need to evaluate the rest. That means saved CPU cycles — and sometimes, a lot of them. Let’s break this down.
A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced that Codex is available for Plus users, and I didn’t miss a chance to try it. And today, I’m excited to share a guide to OpenAI’s Codex. As a developer, I’ve found it to be a powerful and practical tool.
If you've ever run multiple instances of PostgreSQL or other software on a single machine (whether virtual or physical), you've probably encountered the "noisy neighbor" effect — when instances disrupted each other. So, how do you make them get along? We’ve got the answer!
My name is Ilya and I’m a Core Developer at Bright Security. In Bright we work on a DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) solution that helps development teams find and fix vulnerabilities early, straight from CI/CD. My own path began in full-stack engineering, but almost a decade of shipping production code drew me ever deeper into application security. In this article I’m explaining key approaches on what SAML actually is and how we detect it in Bright using DAST.
The world of AI is constantly evolving, and it feels like every week brings a new tool promising to revolutionize how we work and create. I recently got a chance to try out Gemini Canvas, a new interactive space built into Google’s Gemini app. If you want to know what I discovered and how you might use it, read this article until the end.
DeepSeek R1 is an exciting AI model that you can run locally without relying on cloud services. In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to set up and run DeepSeek R1 Distilled using Ollama and Open WebUI. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional local AI chatbot accessible via your web browser! If you are ready, then let's get started! ;-)
Memory leaks in Node.js can be silent killers for your applications. They degrade performance, increase costs, and eventually lead to crashes. Let’s break down common causes and actionable strategies to prevent or fix them.
I wanted to come on here and tell all of you that we should be expecting a big increase in international business in the next short period of time. I would expect this increase within these next few months.
Changes are happening right now in America that are World sweeping. Just today the news is extreme about the ending of the war and promoting of international business.
It’s extremely important that if you are running an IT company that you are ready to take advantage of this.
The robotics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond static systems and rigid programming to dynamic, adaptive solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI). With these advancements, robots are increasingly capable of real-time decision-making and learning, opening up new opportunities to enhance workplace safety and efficiency.
In today's digital world, where applications process increasing amounts of sensitive data, ensuring reliable user authentication is critical. Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user who is trying to access a system. A properly chosen authentication method protects data from unauthorized access, prevents fraud, and increases user confidence.
However, with the development of technology, new authentication methods are emerging, and choosing the optimal solution can be difficult. This article will help developers and business owners understand the variety of authentication approaches and make informed choices.
What if you could build an entire Web App just by describing it? Today, I'll show you how Vercel's V0 revolutionizes web development. In about 5 minutes, you'll learn how to turn text into a production-ready Web App. Let's dive in!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to make sense of dense notes or wished you could listen to them like a podcast while on the go? In this article, I’ll share the tool that could help you turn text into engaging audio podcasts; I believe it could help you learn new things faster and more effectively.
