In the 17th and 18th century, Europeans started importing more elephant ivory, using the material for scientific and navigational instruments due to its waterproof nature.

In the 18th century, the ivory trade was once again transformed by the invention in Italy of a new stringed keyboard instrument: the pianoforte.

Over the course of the 19th century, pianos transformed from a luxury item into a staple of middle-class living.

A man parts the heads of a piano keyboard with a five-bladed circular saw at Pratt, Read & Co., c. 1920.

Baffled by the plethora of Outlook options out there?

With tongue firmly in cheek, Hanselman listed some more options: Outlook (Zero Sugar), Outlook (Caffeine Free), and so on.

While users can create multiple Outlook profiles to store email account details and data locations, Hanselman's post on Bluesky highlights an issue facing many users of Microsoft's software: which incarnation of the application to use.

As for Outlook, users are likely to have multiple versions installed.

Existing perpetual installations of classic Outlook "will continue to be supported until at least 2029," according to Microsoft.

Fernando Padron was stuck in a South Texas jail cell.

He did not hear anything about his case for nine months.

He was pressured into a seemingly improper plea deal in one court, only to be charged again in another.

At one point, he was in jail for six months before officials involved in his case realized he was there.

But he was in the dysfunctional Maverick County court system, where basic tenets of American justice often do not apply.

The Ethics of Spreading Life in the CosmosWe keep trying to extend our reach into the heavens, but the idea of panspermia is that the heavens are actually responsible for us.

What is new here is the exploration of the philosophy of the directed panspermia idea.

Remember, time is flexible here because a directed panspermia effort would be long-term, seeding numerous stars over periods of tens of thousands of years.

Good grief… Now ponder the even more speculative cost of waiting to do directed panspermia.

It’s hard to see this staying the hand of anyone seriously attempting directed panspermia.

Whose code am I running in GitHub Actions?

A week ago, somebody added malicious code to the tj-actions/changed-files GitHub Action.

Today we’re introducing Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent AI model.

Gemini 2.5 models are thinking models, capable of reasoning through their thoughts before responding, resulting in enhanced performance and improved accuracy.

In the field of AI, a system’s capacity for “reasoning” refers to more than just classification and prediction.

Building on this, we recently introduced our first thinking model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking.

Now, with Gemini 2.5, we've achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training.

And this time, New York-based writer and editor Whitney Mallett took a deep dive into the 1997 Towa Tei track GBI (German Bold Italic), for which Kylie Minogue sang from the perspective of a typeface.

“I Contrast, It’s Cool”: When Kylie Minogue Was German Bold ItalicVideo is loading ...Kylie Minogue announces “I am a typeface” in a 1997 song she made with producer Towa Tei.

As this lyric suggests, the techno-pop track in question, “GBI (German Bold Italic)”, is delivered from the perspective of a font.

German Bold Italic (three words Minogue intones throughout the track with staccato punctuation) is a real typeface, which was created to accompany the musical release.

Philip's mine is plugged directly into a hydro-electric power plant that channels some of the Zambezi's torrent through enormous turbines to generate continuous, clean electricity.

More importantly for bitcoin mining - it's cheap.

"We recognised that in order to get better mining economics we needed to partner with the power company here and give them a revenue share.

As early as 2020, researchers from the University of Washington had suggested that soda lakes could be the cradle of life.

In large soda lakes, on the other hand, the phosphorus concentrations are high enough to sustain both the basic chemical reactions and life over the long term.

One example of such a large soda lake is Mono Lake in California.

Walton and his team therefore consider large soda lakes that had a constant high phosphorus supply in the early history of the Earth to have been an ideal environment for the origin of life.

The origin of life could therefore be closely linked to the special environment of large soda lakes, which, due to their geological setting and phosphorus bala…

Why is c the symbol for the speed of light?

"As for c, that is the speed of light in vacuum, and if you ask why c, the answer is that it is the initial letter of celeritas, the Latin word meaning speed."

So history provides an ambiguous answer to the question "Why is c the symbol for the speed of light?

The Long AnswerIn 1992 Scott Chase wrote on sci.physics that "anyone who read hundreds of books by Isaac Asimov knows that the Latin word for `speed' is `celeritas', hence the symbol `c' for the speed of light".

So c was used as Weber's constant having a value of the speed of light times the square root of two, and this can be related to the later use of c for the speed of light itself.

But a newly launched satellite mission coined SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) is now giving scientists a much sharper picture of these hidden underwater worlds.

However, the SWOT satellite is changing that by doing something a little out of the box.

The SWOT satellite can detect seamounts less than half that height, potentially increasing the number of known seamounts from 44,000 to 100,000.

Why This MattersGlobal data from the SWOT satellite.

As the satellite orbits Earth, these overlapping swaths create a two-dimensional map of the planet’s water surface, covering nearly all the world’s oceans as well as large rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

In June 1918, Fitzgerald was on the move.

He went with the 9th Division to Camp Sheridan, a mobilization camp just outside Montgomery, Alabama.

By day, his brigade was busy building new units, training recruits and draftees and preparing to ship overseas to the Western Front – typical for many of the newly-activated units of the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.).

By night, young officers found themselves with time on their hands to explore Montgomery and take in the social life.

For Fitzgerald, this relatively calm period gave him time to edit his manuscript for “This Side of Paradise.”

If you look around the compiler source code, there’s a header file that looks something like the following:From all-global-strings.h , around line 31 X ( align , "align" ) X ( atomic , "atomic" ) X ( bool_ , "bool" ) X ( borrow , "borrow" ) X ( borrowed , "borrowed" ) X ( by , "by" ) X ( bytes , "bytes" ) // A lot more of these...What’s this X thing?

Brian Hughes, the spokesman for the National Security Council, responded two hours later, confirming the veracity of the Signal group.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE for short) aims to ensure only the participants added to a conversation can read its contents.

Other Internet-enabled devices that can observe your network traffic to/from the chat app shouldn’t be able to read them.

Prediction: None the people that participated in this Signal group chat will face meaningful accountability for their actions.

Speculation: Adding the press to a military group chat after you’ve compromised one of the participants’ smartphones seems like a good disruption tactic if you’re another nation state.

You're using a tool with a too-generic User-AgentYou're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace, the wiki thing it's part of.

Unfortunately whatever you're using to do so has a HTTP User-Agent header value that is too generic or otherwise excessively suspicious.

To reduce the load on Wandering Thoughts I'm experimenting with (attempting to) block all of them, and you've run into this.

All HTTP User-Agent headers should clearly identify what they are, and for non-browser user agents, they should identify not just the software involved but also who specifically is using that software.

A few months ago, Casey Newton of Platformer ran a piece called " The phony comforts of AI skepticism ," framing those who would criticize generative AI as "having fun," damning them as "hyper-fixated on the things [AI] can't do."

Sidenote: Although this isn’t a story about generative AI, per se, we do need to talk about the benchmarks used to test AI performance.

Roose doesn't have to make actual arguments – he makes statements, finds one example of something that confirms his biases, and then moves on.

It is, much like a lot of Newton’s work, the intellectual equivalent of saying “nuh uh!”Newton delights in his phony comforts.

At least partially, this is thanks to very good observability tools and best practices.

However, I think the current observability tooling is in a local maximum, and AI agents might be the way to escape it.

Observability tools are expensive, often the single biggest spend outside of the core infra.

Are we replacing the high cost of observability tools for the high cost of AI APIs?

If you are interested in what AI agents could mean for observability, we’d love it if you would give Xata Agent a try and maybe even contribute to it.

So I asked the AI tools to not mock the input object, and instead set up reasonable test data for it.

(After about 1 hour of fiddling with Maven, which the AI tools could not help me with.)

There is a mindset shift we have to make when using Generative AI tools in general.

LLM-based AI coding assistants perform best when they divide-and-conquer problems, and TDD is how we do that for software development.

Stop AI coding sessions when you feel overwhelmed by what’s going on.

Django's Framework ProblemDjango REST Framework, DRF, is a staple in the Django ecosystem with nearly 800,000 dependent repositories.

It is the canonical package for nearly every Django application with a REST API.

REST framework will still be accepting security updates and essential versioning changes.

It has over 300 open issues, almost 60 open pull requests, and is maintained by a single maintainer.

How are teams evaluating Django supposed to justify it when the ecosystem is failing to sustain even basic REST framework development?

Because, on the one hand, it’s true — C++ attributes are, today, completely unsuitable for solving any problem.

A couple years ago, we had P2552 (“On the ignorability of standard attributes”).

The introduction of [[attributes]]The last revision of the proposal for C++11 was N2761 (“Towards support for attributes in C++ (Revision 6)”).

[[override]] also very clearly meets all the criteria laid out in the original attributes paper.

I’m sure there’s plenty of other good examples of very useful implementation-defined attributes that solve real problems that users have, by adding semantics to programs that attributes aren’t allowed to have.

The surreal joy of having an overprovisioned homelabPublished on 03/25/2025 , 4600 words, 17 minutes to readI like making things with computers.

Today I’m gonna talk with you about the surreal job of having an over-provisioned homelab and what you can do with one of your own.

What I runIn order to give you ideas on what you can do with one, here’s what I run in my homelab.

It was about 2.2 thousand snow pesos and I wanted to use it to build a multi-node homelab cluster.

The Kubernetes logoLet’s be real, the kind of things I wanted out of my homelab were literally Kubernetes shaped.

So here’s what I try to remember when I’m troubleshooting, to keep myself on track and avoid dead-ends.

Different search engines are useful for different purposes, and Google no longer seems to index many niche sites.

Behold the trail of crumbs: I find that writing and diagramming, while helpful for many troubleshooting projects, are essential for multi-session troubleshooting projects.

ConclusionOnce I get into the troubleshooting mindset, most things start to look like troubleshooting problems.

It saves a lot of time to realize when I’m dealing with a troubleshooting problem, and consciously troubleshoot it.

Courts across the country have issued different rulings on device searches at ports of entry.

CBP device searches have historically been relatively rare.

“Traditionally, the border search exception to the Fourth Amendment allowed customs officers to search things like luggage.

There are two types of device searches CBP officers can conduct: basic and forensic, or advanced.

In a better legal environment, these precautions wouldn’t be the only meaningful shield between you and a border search.

The Software Engineering Identity CrisisMany of us became software engineers because we found our identity in building things.

When asked how to develop prompt engineering skills, software engineers emphasise refining communication skills.

In fact, recent research at Google suggests that creativity in software engineering centres on the concept of clever reuse over pure novelty.

That core truth remains - ultimately, software engineering is about solving problems, creating solutions, building things that matter.

I want to tell you about the worst programmer I know, and why I fought to keep him in the team.

A few years ago I wrote a Twitter/X thread about the best programmer I know, which I should write up as a blog post.

His name is Tim Mackinnon and I want you to know how measurably unproductive he is.

We were using something like Jira, and people would put their name against stories, which made it super easy to generate these productivity metrics.

Tim wasn’t delivering software; Tim was delivering a team that was delivering software.

On Tuesday, Google announced Gemini 2.5, its "most intelligent" model.

Most notably, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental outperformed OpenAI's o3 mini and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet on Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), a recently created benchmark designed to combat saturation, or the problem of industry tests becoming too easy for rapidly evolving models.

HLE is, therefore, a relatively harder test to perform well on; Gemini 2.5 scored 18.8% compared to o3 mini's 14% (evaluated using text problems only, no images) and Claude 3.7 Sonnet's 8.9%.

Google reported that Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental shows improvements in reasoning, multimodal, and agentic capabilities, even from a "single line prompt."

A software engineer discovered that his newly purchased Bosch 500 series dishwasher locks basic functionality behind cloud connectivity, reigniting concerns about internet-dependent home appliances. Jeff Geerling found that features like rinse cycle, delayed start and eco mode on his $1,000 dishwasher require connecting to WiFi and creating an account with "Home Connect," Bosch's cloud service. Geerling criticized the approach as potentially part of planned obsolescence, noting that without a current subscription fee, the company will likely either shutter the service or introduce payments for previously standard features.

Boeing is seeking to withdraw an earlier agreement to plead guilty in a long-running criminal case that blamed the company for deceiving regulators before two deadly crashes of 737 MAX jets, WSJ is reporting, citing people familiar with the matter. From the report: The aerospace giant is seeking more lenient treatment from the Justice Department, which under the Trump administration is reviewing numerous pending criminal cases that haven't yet gone to trial or been approved by courts.

But a federal judge in Texas rejected the proposed deal in December, pushing the res…

My fiancée and I were on the lookout for a piece of land to build our future home. We had some criteria in mind, such as the distance to certain places and family members, a minimum and a maximum size, and a few other things.

How we started the search Each country has their own real estate platforms. In the US, the listing’s metadata is usually public and well-structured, allowing for more advanced searches, and more transparency in general.

In Austria, we mainly have willhaben.at, immowelt.at, immobilienscout24.at, all of which have no publicly available API.

The first step was to setup email alerts on each platform, with our search criteria. Each day, we got emails with all the…

AI is everywhere these days, and everyone has opinions and thoughts. These

are some of mine.Full disclosure: for a time I worked for Anthropic, the makers of

Claude.ai. I no longer do, and nothing in

this post (or elsewhere on this site) is their opinion or is proprietary to

them.How to use AIMy advice about using AI is simple: use AI as an assistant, not an expert,

and use it judiciously. Some people will object, “but AI can be wrong!” Yes,

and so can the internet in general, but no one now recommends avoiding online

resources because they can be wrong. They recommend taking it all with a grain

of salt and being careful. That’s what you should do with AI help as well.We are all learning ho…

Мастера, которые оказывают услуги в сфере красоты, периодически поднимают цены на свои услуги. Новость об этом они сообщают примерно так:

«Цены на расходники поднялись, сами знаете, ситуация в стране, доллар и бла-бла-бла. Очень не хочется, но ситуация вынуждает».

В лекциях по переговорам сказано, что никогда не стоит оправдывать цену личными издержками. Как грамотно и красиво рассказать о повышении цен на услуги, чтобы не взбесить клиентов, не вызвать жалость и не потерять их?

Continuing with my robot training collection pipeline, one of the challenges has been obtaining calibrated cameras from sparse multi-view inputs. I previously worked with Dust3r but found its accuracy insufficient for generating reliable camera parameters. Recently, Meta released VGGT—Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer—which improves both inference speed and accuracy. With assumptions such as non-metric scale and the use of pinhole cameras, I believe fully automatic camera calibration is now achievable.Using @rerun, I established a baseline from the HoCAP dataset and conducted a qualitative comparison among the ground-truth calibrated cameras, Dust3r, and VGGT. The improvements are eviden…

I am the founder of 1Core Solution (“1Core”), based in Cupertino, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley.

Back in early 2000, childcare software was all desktop based with siloed back office functions and limited consumer facing interfaces.

I noticed a gap in the market and saw the potential for cloud-based software that could fundamentally change how software could be developed, delivered and supported in the childcare industry.

We built the first version of our solution by working with a few childcare providers in Silicon Valley.

You can learn more about my background and 1Core Solution:1Core sponsors a Youtube channel called The ChildCare Channel, a safe space designed to Inform, Inspire, and I…

This is what I am building today, and is what will eventually be the number 1 personal brand consultancy worldwide and have a team of 500 consultants.

The term personal brand was coined by a man named Tom Peters in 1997 in his article “The Brand Called You” which was published in FastCompany.

Within 3 months, the business appeared as if it was around for years and was already a trusted, vetted, personal brand consultancy.

I initially went on a podcast tour and was doing interviews that felt like every single day talking about MCG, writing more articles on industry subject matter, for example why you would hire a personal brand consultant, why you should build your personal brand, and how ou…

My name is Tony Wang, and I’m the general manager of The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego.

We are the first cat cafe to open in Southern California and we are the fourth oldest continuously operating cat cafe in the United States.

We first learned about cat cafes when we saw an article about Le Cafe de Chats in Paris.

We are The Cat Cafe, as opposed to other cat cafes that have cute names.

But if you work hard enough at it, and you succeed, it will feel great.

We are a bit different in that we focus on German conversation/speaking classes - we don’t do traditional grammar classes.

We don't tell anyone this but what we really sell isn’t German classes, it is confidence!

To get around this and practice the German I was putting so much effort into learning, I thought I would start an online group for German learners.

But the issue was my German is intermediate - so half the people had German worse than mine and have better.

A poor decision of mine was not grandfathering in everyone who first joined (about the first 80 people) as free customers for life.

We are a Media and Consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic and are working towards building a marketplace for Latino-owned businesses.

We currently run a weekly newsletter and social media focused on elevating positive stories around the business, culture, and social impact of U.S. Latinos.

The newsletter started and is still currently free to readers.

To continue growing our audience and agency clients, I will double down on consistently posting across social media platforms.

Over the next 12 months, as I’m increasing agency and newsletter revenue, I’ll be focused on slowly building up the first iteration of the Latino-owned marketplace.

Because owning a self-storage facility didn’t seem like a real estate investment.

It sounded more like I would be running a small business.

The self-storage industry is interesting, because it benefits greatly from a lot of modern business practices.

We knew our focus coming out of the gates was to build a self-storage business with a heavy focus on technology and process optimization.

Our first Iron Storage facilityThe first storage facility we bought and revamped was about an hour from where I lived in Houston, TX.

I am Stefano Lodola, founder of Think in Italian, a language learning platform designed to help individuals master Italian through an immersive approach.

My research confirmed that there was a gap in the market for a more comprehensive and engaging approach to learning Italian.

However, many language app users have expectations that work against them (“where are the quizzes?

At its peak, my site had the largest amount of organic traffic among those focusing on teaching the Italian language with 130k visits/m.

Instead of those spammy “best xyz” listicles that any content writer can make up, I published hundreds of grammar notes to attract people who are serious about learning Italian.

Our current hero product is the Vonu Lounger, a multi-use lounger that helps with tummy time, reflux relief, burping, and gas relief, and encourages face-to-face time with your little one.

As of right now, we’re less than a year in, and over 10,000 babies and parents have found relief with the Vonu Lounger.

We ended up with the first Vonu Lounger which we called a “Burplee” at the time.

We use our social proof and UGC to build a community around the brand and the Vonu Lounger.

Davante, our co-founder, taught himself how to buy media a few months into building Vonu and has done an incredible job creating a paid media team around him.

What we had in mind was a simple, clutter-free email hub, where people could manage all their inboxes and reduce some of that email anxiety we all experience.

To this day, I believe it shows in the way Mailbird is built, its features, and the overall user experience.

Our customer base consists of two main groups:The heavy email users.

Part of the Mailbird team, in BaliWe launched Mailbird with minimal resources.

Mailbird - Last but not least, of course, we use Mailbird for our email management needs.

My son, Asher, and my wife, Paige, and I started our woodworking business four years ago: Frailey Woodworks.

Each of these skill sets are now focused on our high-end furniture making business where we specialize in full-scope design and build.

Soon, we ventured into other custom mid-century furniture, and our business took off.

Building our first hand-powered sit/stand desk took several iterations before we had a working prototype.

These customers took a chance on our company and we are very grateful for their trust.

Aithor helps with research, essay planning, sourcing trustworthy references, and adhering to specific types of writing.

We are broadening our focus to include content creators such as marketers and managers, while still supporting our existing student base.

It wasn’t until about four months after the product launch that we realized we were in the right place at the right time with the right team.

We quickly went to market, attracted new clients, and received valuable feedback, which led us to refine the MVP.

(1) Do it simply and quickly to sell it right away – bring the product to market faster.

Hey, my name is Kyle Bigley and I am the Founder of TxtCart, AKA the AI-Powered SMS Marketing company for Shopify stores.

We’re a unique SMS Marketing company pioneering conversational commerce with AI agents generating sales and resolving customers questions via text messages.

Now, we’re over $1M ARR while still bootstrapped and are setting our sights on $3M ARR by 2026 (whilst still bootstrapped).

So I started TxtCart right before graduating, and took a Project Management job out of college.

Holding out on external investment from either Angels, VCs or crowdfunding makes building a SaaS in an ultra competitive environment like SMS Marketing incredibly difficult.

My company specializes in designing and manufacturing modern, stylish flatpack furniture and other designery items.

This allows me to focus on what I'm good at – the creative process – and leave the manufacturing to experts.

The combination of life on the road and designing things inherently designed to travel or get deconstructed and reconstructed resonated with me.

I also use Notion for ideation and notes, Shapr3d for CAD design and drawings, Illustrator for logos, Pacdora for packaging design.

Natural curiosity is an essential tool for entrepreneurs: asking questions, seeking to understand how things work, and being eager to learn and inquire.

I was based out of Singapore and was working with an edtech founder and looking for ideas in the AI + edtech space.

Explored several ideas like vision AI based analytics for live tutoring classes, adaptive learning and AI generated quizzes.

A year later in 2022, I put together all my learnings in AI quiz generation into an Udemy course.

So I built the first version that just takes text input on a left textbox, calls an API behind the scenes and shows the output text (quizzes) on the right textbox.

There are so many things like influencer marketing, email marketing, paid ads, SEO, newsletter marketing etc.

Software development, nutrition, business strategy, economics, AI - I've obsessed over them all.

Free product feedback can be deceiving - they might not value it the same if they were paying.

Some crucial parts weren't ready (like, you know, showing people their AI generated headshots), but who needs a complete product, right?

As you can see from the screenshot below, we were ranking for an important keyword, ‘Ai headshot generator’, in April.

Install as many product feedback loops to drive insights about your target audience.

Ever spent hours scrolling through YouTube, trying to find the perfect niche influencers to promote your product—only to end up with a list that’s either too broad or just plain irrelevant?

What It DoesMy tool hunts down YouTube micro-influencers—think channels with a tight-knit following of super-engaged viewers.

If you’re tired of shelling out big bucks for big-name influencers (only to get questionable results), micro-influencers might be exactly what you need.

In exchange for honest feedback:I’ll hook you up with 50 handpicked micro-influencers in your niche of choice.

Let’s make YouTube micro-influencers your next growth hack.

We are hiring for a Partnerships Associate who is skilled at starting conversations at conferences, developing new relationships, hosting events and dinners, and identifying key pain points which can be addressed with Chargeblast's solutions.

The Partnerships Associate should be open to traveling once or twice per week within the United States and overseas to attend conferences.

Really curious to see some great examples that went on to be really successful.

Hopefully we can find it on the way back machine.

I'm looking to build my own and would appreciate the references :-).

I'm looking for a young co-founder from the USA who is willing to create short-form videos and market my SaaS.

I grew my SaaS through SEO & Reddit to $500 MRR.

They grab attention, boost engagement, and make your brand more relatable.

I noticed many viral prompts on TikTok were poorly designed, and there was a clear need for something better.

After working on content creation for a while, I felt I could turn that content into a business, so we decided to build Prompt-Genie.

We quickly tested the idea by creating a simple version of the product in just four days, focusing on the core concept instead of perfection.

Right now the team is using React+Node and AWS, but the first version of prompt genie was built just using no-code.

The initial success came quickly, largely due to the viral content from my TikTok channel, which helped us reach around $10k a month in revenue right after launch.

Just launched IndieMerger (co-founder matching platform) on Product Hunt with minimal preparation and wanted to share the real results.

The day after launch, traffic dropped significantly.

Most visitors were curious browsers, not people actively looking for a co-founder matching platform.

Many signed up for free accounts but few converted to paying customers.

My launch on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/indiemerger-3Happy to answer specific questions about the launch experience!

When I started 1ClickImpact, I had one goal: Make doing good as easy as an API call.

Now, it’s even easier—with just one click, every Shopify order can plant a tree, clean ocean waste, or capture carbon.

💰 +18% bigger orders (shoppers spend more when it aligns with their values)🔄 +32% repeat purchases (because doing good feels good)No Hassle.

Install 1ClickImpact for Shopify now and start making an impact with every order!

Let’s make doing good a no-brainer.

A basic MVPWe launched with a focused offering of t-shirt mockups only.

The initial development phase took approximately two months to master the fundamental technical requirements — placing designs on shirts, modifying garment colors, and accurately wrapping designs to conform to natural fabric wrinkles and creases.

Initially, we utilized royalty-free images in our mockups, but our timing coincided perfectly with advancements in AI technology, allowing us to generate high-quality mockup images without traditional limitations.

Our signature instant preview functionality was strategically implemented to allow users to visualize their designs across multiple mockups simultaneously.

We've rema…

Here’s a question: when was the last time you saw a marketing guru actually share a real marketing plan?

The only one that comes close is Alan Dib’s One Page Marketing Plan, which at least provides a structured framework.

A marketing framework that local businesses can actually use to attract, convert, and retain customers without wasting time on empty hype.

What Actually Works: The P.A.S.S.

He's a non-technical indie hacker who capitalized on the vibe coding trend by building an app in public and earning quick revenue.

He vibe coded his app without understanding its underlying mechanics, leaving him unaware of its vulnerabilities.

Two tips on vibe securitySecurity is a huge topic, and I won't delve into it in any real depth.

Instead let's touch on a few basics that can help non-technical vibe coders avoid the vulnerabilities that Leo faced.

But that might be a little too complicated for a non-technical vibe coder — especially since there are some use cases for implementing paywalls without any backend infrastructure.

РБК взял интервью у гендиректора компании NtechLab Алексея Паламарчука. Она известна как разработчик сервиса FindFace для поиска людей во «Вконтакте» по фотографии и подрядчик систем распознавания лиц на ЧМ-2018. Паламарчук рассказал, как видеоаналитика позволяет предотвращать преступления, и высказался о страхах по поводу работы властей с биометрией. Мы выбрали главное из интервью.

В феврале США и РФ начали переговоры по урегулированию конфликта на Украине. На фоне этого стали расти курс рубля и индекс Мосбиржи: инвесторы осторожно надеются на то, что переговоры увенчаются успехом и санкции скоро снимут, а это приведет к подорожанию российской валюты, улучшению перспектив российской экономики и росту котировок российских компаний. В этом материале расскажем вам о том, что говорят о возможности снятия санкций с России эксперты и как идут переговоры об отмене ограничений против Беларуси.

SuperJob запустил пилот аукционной модели найма сотрудников. Работодатели смогут открыто «торговаться» за кандидата и перебивать предложения друг друга, повышая будущую зарплату или предлагая лучшие условия. В эксперименте пока участвует «ограниченная выборка».
