How we cut AWS bandwidth costs 95% with dm-cache: fast local SSD caching for network storage The bandwidth billing challenge When deploying infrastructure across multiple AWS availability zones (AZs), bandwidth costs can become a significant operational expense. Some of our Upsun infrastructure spans three AZs for high availability, but this architecture created an unexpected challenge with our Ceph-based storage system. Since Ceph distributes data across the cluster and AWS bills for inter-A
Following Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event yesterday, ESR is unveiling a comprehensive lineup of accessories, cases, screen protectors, and chargers that will help you unleash the full power of your new devices, keeping them safe and powered up. iPhone 17 cases ESR’s flagship launch for the season exceeds military-grade standards by 7x, and starts at $26.99.

Physicians rely on nuclear medicine scans, like SPECT scans, to watch the heart pump, track blood flow and detect diseases hidden deep inside the body. But today’s scanners depend on expensive detectors that are difficult to make. Now, scientists led by Northwestern University and Soochow University in China have built the first perovskite-based detector that can capture individual gamma rays for SPECT imaging with record-breaking precision. The new tool could make common types of nuclear medic
When software engineer Joshua Fonseca recently connected the GameCube simulation classic Animal Crossing to a modern AI language model like the kind that powers ChatGPT, he decided to shake things up. By programming the AI to roleplay as villagers growing aware of their debt situation, and giving them a shared memory to track conversations, Fonseca orchestrated a scenario where the residents began to organize against their raccoon landlord. In Animal Crossing, Tom Nook runs the town shop and pr
Instagram fixed a bug that caused the reach of some users' Stories to shrink when they posted more than one Story a day, Instagram head Adam Mosseri shared on Friday. The fix addresses a common complaint shared by creators in the last year that they were disincentivized to use Stories because of how regularly using the feature impacted the number of people who actually saw their posts. "People were complaining about getting less reach with their Stories if they posted lots of Stories in the sam
Posted August 31, 2025 by Nolan Lawson in performance, Web. Tagged: timers. 9 Comments Even if you’ve been doing JavaScript for a while, you might be surprised to learn that setTimeout(0) is not really setTimeout(0) . Instead, it could run 4 milliseconds later: const start = performance.now() setTimeout(() => { // Likely 4ms console.log(performance.now() - start) }, 0) Nearly a decade ago when I was on the Microsoft Edge team, it was explained to me that browsers did this to avoid “abuse.” I.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning of hackers exploiting a critical remote code execution flaw in DELMIA Apriso, a manufacturing operations management (MOM) and execution (MES) solution from French company Dassault Systèmes. The agency added the vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-5086 and rated with a critical severity score (CVSS v3: 9.0), to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV). DELMIA Apriso is used in production processes for digitalizing and m
When a comet meets solar winds, its nuclear coma—a bright cloud of gas around its core—reacts vibrantly to our Sun’s solar maximum, leaving a trail of stellar gas and dust across the solar system. Miraculously, the sky above June Lake, California, cleared up for a full 13 minutes for photographer Dan Bartlett to image the comet clearly enough for his photograph, “Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks Taking a Final Bow.” With incredible technological advances, the continuous flow of space photos can sometimes

Running bun install is fast, very fast. On average, it runs ~7× faster than npm, ~4× faster than pnpm, and ~17× faster than yarn. The difference is especially noticeable in large codebases. What used to take minutes now takes (milli)seconds. These aren't just cherry-picked benchmarks. Bun is fast because it treats package installation as a systems programming problem, not a JavaScript problem. In this post we’ll explore what that means: from minimizing syscalls and caching manifests as binary,
An exciting discovery on Mars is being overshadowed by turmoil at NASA, with budget cuts threatening to destroy a scientific legacy that has been built over decades. Yesterday, the agency shared a finding, published in Nature, of potential biosignatures identified by the Mars Perseverance rover in a 3.5 billion-year-old rock. “This very well could be the clearest sign of life that we’ve ever found on Mars,” said Transportation Secretary and Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy in a press confe
Senators Edward J. Markey, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley sent a letter Thursday to Acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons urging the agency to stop using “Mobile Fortify,” a smartphone app that uses biometric identification, including facial recognition.

I've been building data systems for long enough to be skeptical of “revolutionary” claims, and I’m uncomfortable with grandiose statements like “Built for the AI Era”. Nevertheless, AI workloads have tipped us into what I'll call the Third Age of data systems, and legacy platforms can't meet the moment. Three Eras of Data Systems In the beginning, databases had human-scale inputs and human-scale outputs. Postgres—the king of databases, first released in 1989[1] —is the archetypal application d
