China’s Geely Auto is officially taking its luxury EV subsidiary Zeekr private, just over a year after the company debuted on the New York Stock Exchange. The news comes two months after Geely offered to take Zeekr private, following President Donald Trump’s threats earlier this year to delist Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges. When the merger closes, Zeekr shareholders will receive either $2.69 in cash per share or 1.23 newly issued Geely shares for each Zeekr share they own, per a regulator

Building Modular Rails Applications: A Deep Dive into Rails Engines

I’ve been building Rails applications for the last 10 years on a daily base and almost all of them use active storage now. Users are uploading files and then the questions start rolling in from the team and they are always the same: “How much storage are we actually using?” “Can we see which files aren’t attached to anything anymore?” “What types of files are users uploading the most?” “Is there a way to browse through all our stored files?” I usually open the Rails console, write a few querie

Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

While reading the latest results from Prosus, I realized there seems to be a trend that nobody is talking about. There is an obvious wave of consolidation in the food delivery market happening right before our eyes. The once-hot food delivery sector has gone cold faster than your DoorDash order. New entrants have disappeared as most of the VC money chases the cool and hip AI startups. Alongside a wave of acquisitions, the world's food delivery market is consolidating in the hands of 5 companies.

Whether you're learning the ropes of a brand-new dishwasher or you've been hands-free dishwashing for years, it's tempting to load it up and let it rip. It's summer -- you've got better things to do than babysit a sink full of dirty silverware. But before you start stacking every spatula and chef's knife onto the racks, take a beat.

How to prove false statements: Practical attacks on Fiat-Shamir

Randomness is a source of power. From the coin toss that decides which team gets the ball to the random keys that secure online interactions, randomness lets us make choices that are fair and impossible to predict. But in many computing applications, suitable randomness can be hard to generate.

Parallelizing SHA256 Calculation on FPGA

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article where I developed a hash calculator on an FPGA. Specifically, I implemented an SHA-256 calculator. This module computes the hash of a string (up to 25 bytes) in 68 clock cycles. The design leverages the parallelism of FPGAs to compute the W matrix and the recursive rounds concurrently. However, it produces only one hash every 68 clock cycles, leaving most of the FPGA underutilized during that time. In this article we are going to elevate the performance of t
