You’re in a backend interview. They ask: “How would you design a distributed cache for a high-traffic system?” Here’s how to approach it:
In part two of our Future of AI and HPC Storage series, we examine the current storage landscape, vendor trends, and where spending is headed. HPC storage demand is rising fast! Hyperion projects it will surpass 22% of total HPC spend by 2028. ow.ly/rAiY50Xf0IO
A new computer modeled on the brain could make AI faster, smarter, and far less power-hungry. bit.ly/43b0Q3n
Two sentences explain I/O better than any CS course If an expression yields an effect, it percolates through the program to the top, with the context stored as a continuation. An external authority handles the effect and passes the result back to the continuation.
We're very close to outsourcing all fact-checking and news summarization to AI Grokipedia, "Chat is this true," ask Grok, etc... On one hand, it's pretty good at this But I do wonder what happens when AI controls the entire narrative, and could make humans believe anything...
Kirkwall Airport in Orkney just became the first in the UK powered by #hydrogen. EMEC’s trial used a 100% #H2 combined heat and power unit from 2G to meet the site’s full energy needs. A milestone for clean airport operations. #HydrogenNow #CleanEnergy fcw.sh/5cOvg4
Leaders in defense are calling out simple wins. Printing replacement knobs and small parts saves time and cost where it counts. okt.to/ujrPFc #Defense #Maintenance #3DPrinting #Readiness
So here's the thing about SLAs and SLOs: they are *targets.* Teams do their best to meet them, and historically often do. When an outage breaches the SLO, the company promising them might need to contractually pay a penalty. But this is software... unexpected things can happen!
As backend engineers, we often take AWS DynamoDB/S3 and their four 9s availability at face value. But the 14 hour outage reminded us that the marketed values ≠ reality. Always design fail-safes for critical systems!
Developed by @ucsantabarbara researchers, WORM is a system that enables artists to program cobots through manual actions for digital fabrication applications. blog.arduino.cc/2025/10/21/wor…
Every ten years people say tech is over. 2001 dotcom 2009 recession 2020 pandemic, now AI. It’s never over. The tech stack just evolves. Learn fundamentals, ride next wave and outlast noise. CS grads you’re early not late!
Anyone who is graduating from computer science right now: This could be just transitionary. I was super depressed in 2009. They told it's over for tech. It passed and our industry grew. I still think we build scalable new tech, and there will be a come back from this.
Is it just me or do you also feel like every idea you get already exists somewhere out there? You finally think you've got a fresh idea, then find a startup, GitHub repo, or Reddit thread already doing it. And then you start wondering if you'll ever escape your job because…

Any tips on supporting a "start" and an "end" branch in a Github repository that you're using for a course, workshop, guide, etc. It's always such a pain to make updates to one then propagate it to the other!
