A sneaky bug inPyTorch’s MPS backendlet non-contiguous tensors silently ignore in-place ops likeaddcmul_. That’s optimizer-breaking stuff. The culprit? ThePlaceholder abstraction- meant to handle temp buffers under the hood - forgot to actually write results back to the original tensor...

Bear Blog went dark after getting swarmed by scrapers. The reverse proxy choked first - too many requests, not enough heads-up. Downstream defenses didn’t catch it in time. So: fire, meet upgrades. What changed: Proxies scaled 5×. Upstream got strict with rate limits. Failover now has a pulse. Resta..

Postgres is pulling Kafka moves—without the Kafka. On a humble 3-node cluster, it held 5MB/s ingest and 25MB/s egress like a champ. Low latency. Rock-solid durability. Crank things up, andsingle-node Postgresflexed hard: 240 MiB/s in, 1.16 GiB/s out for pub/sub. Thousands of messages per second in q..

It handles yourpyproject.tomllike a grown-up—auto-generates it, updates it, keeps your environments identical across machines. Need to run a tool once without t..

Netflix gutted Tudum’s old read path—Kafka, Cassandra, layers of cache—and swapped inRAW Hollow, a compressed, distributed, in-memory object store baked right into each microservice. Result? Homepage renders dropped from 1.4s to 0.4s. Editors get near-instant previews. No more read caches. No extern..

This hands-on path drops devs straight into writing, loading, and poking at basiceBPFprograms withlibbpf,maps, and those all-important kernel safety checks. It starts simple - with a beginner-friendly challenge - then dives deeper into theverifierand tools for runtime introspection...

Amazon EKS Auto Mode now runs the cluster for you—handling control plane updates, add-on management, and node rotation. It sticks to Kubernetes best practices so your apps stay up through node drains, pod failures, AZ outages, and rolling upgrades. It also respectsPod Disruption Budgets,Readiness Ga..

Thinking in planes, as introduced by the Platform Engineering reference model, helps teams describe their platform in a simple, shared language, turning a collection of tools into a platform. It forces you to think horizontally, connecting teams and technologies instead of adding more layers, creati..

OneUptime ditched the cloud bill and rolled their own dual-site setup. Thinkbare metal, orchestrated withMicroK8s, booted byTinkerbell, patched together withCeph,Flux, andTerraform. Result?99.993% uptimeand$1.2M/year saved—76% cheaper than even well-optimized AWS. They run it all with just~14 engine..

Helm 4 ditches the old plugin model for a sharper, plugin-first architecture powered by WebAssembly. That means isolation/control, and deeper customization - if you're ready to adapt! Post-renderers are now plugins. That breaks compatibility with earlier exec-based setups, so expect some rewiring. ..
