A better future for JavaScript that won't happen

In the wake of the largest supply-chain attack in history, the JavaScript community could have a moment of reckoning and decide: never again. As the panic and shame subsides, after compromised developers finish re-provisioning their workstations and rotating their keys, the ecosystem might re-orient itself towards solving the fundamental flaws that allowed this to happen. After all, people have been sounding the alarm for years that this approach to dependency management is reckless and dangero

Google pulls the Pixel 10’s Daily Hub to ‘enhance its performance’

If voice translation is halfway between a helpful feature and a gimmick, then Daily Hub leans even further into gimmick territory. It’s a lot like the Now Brief Samsung introduced on its S25 phones, and it’s supposed to act as a quick digest for your day as well as a place to find some inspiration based on your recent activity. It does the first part of that job just fine; it’s maybe a more longwinded version of Google’s At a Glance widget, which gives you a heads up on the weather and upcoming

IPO hopeful Brex scored major win to sell in the EU, plans UK expansion

Financial services provider Brex on Thursday announced that it achieved a major milestone: it is now licensed in the European Union. That means it can now directly issue credit and debit cards and offer its spend management products to any business in all 30 EU countries with “no workarounds required,” as co-founder and CEO Pedro Franceschi wrote in a blog post. While the corporate spend management startup previously supported 60 currencies in 200 countries, it could only sell its products to c

Let's stop pretending that managers and executives care about productivity

Let's stop pretending that managers and executives care about productivity I’ve just been on a bit of a summer break. Did a bit of travel locally. Visited Hvalfjörður. Walked a lot. I know from experience that if I don’t take a summer break, the winter becomes more of a slog and my thoughts become groggier. Often, as soon as you rest, your mind starts to “helpfully” come up with ideas to help fill your time. One of the invasive thoughts that kept prodding my brain during my break was about mo

The best CRM software 2025: Streamline your customer relationships

Attention is your scarcest resource (2020)

July 2020 Like many people, I have most of my best ideas in the shower. This is sometimes annoying: I could use more than one shower’s worth of good ideas a day, but I’d rather not end up as a shrivelled yet insightful prune. Mostly, though, shower ideas are the incentive that keeps me smelling okay, so I grudgingly accept the constraint. The time when it was most constraining was the first time I became a manager. I only had a few reports, so managing them wasn’t a full-time job. But I was v

Is HR ready for AI?

sefa ozel/Getty Images A report from technology analyst firm Valoir has found that most companies are either already leveraging AI for HR activities, such as recruiting, learning, and talent management, or they plan to do so within the next 24 months. However, there's a significant gap in terms of policies, practices, and training for safe and effective AI adoption. Only 34% of organizations have a policy on generative AI (gen AI), and even fewer offer effective training. Also: 5 entry-level

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin

Mosyle announces AccessMule to solve a major blind spot in SMB security

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved. Behind the scenes, there’s usually little visibility into who still has access t

Last fifty years of integer linear programming: Recent practical advances

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has become a cornerstone of operations research. This is driven by the enhanced efficiency of modern solvers, which can today find globally optimal solutions within seconds for problems that were out of reach a decade ago. The versatility of these solvers allowed successful applications in many areas, such as transportation, logistics, supply chain management, revenue management, finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Despite the impressive succes

Milliseconds to breach: How patch automation closes attackers’ fastest loophole

This article is part of VentureBeat’s special issue, “The cyber resilience playbook: Navigating the new era of threats.” Read more from this special issue here. Procrastinating about patching has killed more networks and damaged more companies than any zero-day exploit or advanced cyberattack. Complacency kills — and carries a high price. Down-rev (having old patches in place that are “down revision”) or no patching at all is how ransomware gets installed, data breaches occur and companies are
