Learn more Decentralization versus centralization The term Web 3.0 was used in 2006 by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, as a look forward to the next stage of the web beyond Web 2.0. He thought that the “Semantic Web” was going to be central to that
Many software developers working in a Scrum environment see Scrum as a “company tax” — additional overhead they need to adhere to because their company expects them to. Dailies, reviews, refinements, and retros are seen as ceremonies; something you have to endure that don’t really add much value to your work. If this is how Scrum feels to you, you’re not alone. In this article, I want to explain w
John Carmack, a titan of the technology industry known for his work on virtual reality as well as classic games like Doom and Quake, is stepping down from his role as a consulting CTO at Meta, as reported by Business Insider and The New York Times.

SoftBank Vision Fund has walked away from investing in several startups, months after submitting term sheets worth hundreds of millions of dollars and promising that closing delays were only temporary, Axios has learned.

The Great Ventilator Rush
The projections were horrifying. Experts were forecasting upwards of 100 million people in the United States infected with the novel coronavirus, with 2 percent needing intensive care, and half of those requiring the use of medical ventilators. In early March, it seemed as if the United States might need a million ventilators to cope with COVID-19—six times as many as hospitals had at the time. Th

Platform teams have a unique reliance on other teams to ensure adoption of their platform - getting code changes into other teams' codebase is critical to their success. There are a variety of patterns for that cross-team collaboration, and selecting the right ones depends on both the phase of platform adoption and the ability of both teams and codebases to accept external influence. 19 July 2023
Beyond fans: AirJet's radical CPU cooling chips can double laptop performance
Fans keep chips cool. Most consumers know that, whether they’ve opened up their laptop or heard the whiny hiss of a fan.

Frore Systems is manufacturing two chips, the AirJet Mini and the AirJet Pro, that will be affixed to a laptop’s processor in place o
Hard Startups
The most counterintuitive secret about startups is that it’s often easier to succeed with a hard startup than an easy one. A hard startup requires a lot more money, time, coordination, or technological development than most startups. A good hard startup is one that will be valuable if it works (not all hard problems are worth solving!). I remember when Instagram started to get really popular—it f

Gregory Szorc's Digital Home | Mercurial's Journey to and Reflections on Python 3
Mercurial 5.2 was released on November 5, 2019. It is the first version of Mercurial that supports Python 3. This milestone comes nearly 11 years after Python 3.0 was first released on December 3, 2008.

There is no doubt that the cloud is one of the most significant platform shifts in the history of computing.

Google is quietly replacing the backbone of its AI product strategy after its last big push for dominance got overshadowed by Meta

Google is now betting on a new AI project internally to replace TensorFlow called JAX. Google, in 2015, essentially created the modern-day machine learning ecosystem when it open sourced a small research proje
