ngrok used to be free and only required an account for premium features. Now, you need an ngrok account no matter your use case. The Hookdeck CLI is a free to use -- no account required - alternative to ngrok for async web development (e.g. webhooks) use cases.

Without a means to extract, aggregate, and sort through your data, gleaning meaningful insight will become next to impossible. As such, many manufacturers, distributors, and supply chain organizations use data integration tools to gain meaningful insights from their ERPs.

Panspermia can increase the correlation between planets’ compositions and positions. Likely terraformed planets can be identified from clustering. The exact exact plot of this plot will vary by model parameters, but is especially dependent on the distribution of planet compositions. The Mantel test is a measure of correlation between two distance matrices.

Ethereum, once the beacon of Web3 decentralization, is facing challenges due to sluggish performance and macroeconomic factors. While it remains central to the crypto ecosystem, its application layer and network data are under pressure from competitors like Solana. Venture capital's influence and PoS mechanism issues further complicate its trajectory. Despite these challenges, Ethereum's core decentralization principles and ongoing development efforts hold promise for its...

Multi-Agent systems are LLM applications that are changing the automation landscape with intelligent bots. In this blog, we will explore five significant trends that have influenced these systems. Ubiquity means that something can be found everywhere. Intelligence is about automating more complex tasks. Human orientation is about making it simpler for people to communicate with computers.

Panspermia can increase the correlation between planets’ compositions and positions. Likely terraformed planets can be identified from clustering. Life can spread between planets based on the composition of each planet. Life originating from a terra formed planet will then reflect its new composition.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that provides a platform-agnostic way to deploy and manage containerized applications. In this article, we will explore some of the ways in which Kubernetes can be used to manage data workloads, including code samples to demonstrate these concepts.

If you’re exploring alternatives to SendGrid, consider these top options: Mailtrap for email testing and debugging, Elastic Email for cost-effective solutions, ActiveCampaign for robust automation, SMTP2GO for reliable SMTP services, and Campaign Monitor for user-friendly email marketing. Evaluate based on features, pricing, and ease of use to find the best fit for your needs.

MEV has become more popular since Ethereum transitioned to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The rise of Layer 2's like Starknet introduced new dynamics to the MEV landscape.

Should you Rust, or should you Go? Which language is better, and does that question even make sense? Let’s talk about Go versus Rust in 2024, with our special guest, John Arundel.

Harrison B. Smith, Lana Sinapayen: Panspermia can increase the correlation between planets’ compositions and positions. Likely terraformed planets can be identified from clustering. This model shows that as life propagates across the galaxy, correlations emerge between planetary characteristics and location. It can function as a population-scale agnostic biosignature.

Want to show how you can share any serializable data between React components in NextJS. We can store data in a `WeakMap`, `state` will be a key to access it, and `subscribers` array.

Unit tests help programmers ensure our code works better and prevents bugs. However, that explanation sounds too abstract and impractical for real-world scenarios.

AI PCs made up as much as 14% of PC sales in the second quarter, pointing to their growing popularity. Apple, of course, has already cornered 60% of the AI PC market, with its products powered by its M series chip with a neural engine. Microsoft isn't yet up to speed with it and can't leverage it much in any really impactful manner.

Gettr and Twitter data used for this project is available in anonymised format on request at https://osf.io/ dx2p8/.

The data used for this study has been collected using GoGettr 76, a public client developed by the Stanford Internet Observatory to give access to the Gettr API. To match accounts across platforms, we assumed that users picked the same username on both Gettr and Twitter, and we used the Twitter API to retrieve their Twitter activity. A user is classified as “banned” if...

Banned and matched cohorts share the same politically homogeneous Gettr audience. Fringe platforms offer a safe haven where deplatformed users are free to capitalise on their supporters following suspension from Twitter. This poses a societal risk since fringe platforms can facilitate the emergence of radical narratives and the spread of hate speech.

We analysed the three cohorts of “matched Gettr”, “banned” and “non-verified” users. We found that user registrations were largely steady over time with two exceptions where registrations peaked. On Twitter, the matched cohort are significantly more active with 69% of accounts active any given day.

Deplatforming, or banning malicious accounts from social media, is a key tool for moderating online harms. However, the consequences of deplatforming for the wider social media ecosystem have been largely overlooked so far. Here, we address this gap by studying the ban-induced platform migration from Twitter to Gettr. We show that users active on both platforms post similar content as users on Gettr but...

A honeypot is a trap intentionally left on the site to spot the automated nature of your script. A honeypot trap adds an extra layer of security for sites that wish to preserve their data. If it looks too good to be real, then it’s probably a trap!

In 2021, I was working as a Real Estate Agent in Poland. It was my first proper profession in my homeland since I left the country right after college. The pandemic forced me to come back, but our plan at that time was to apply for a visa to Canada with my wife.

The Strategy pattern is a behavioral design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm’s behavior at runtime. It defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable. The Strategy pattern promotes the Open/Closed Principle by allowing new strategies to be added without modifying existing code. This approach allows us to create easily extensible and maintainable applications.

The appointment comes amid rapidly growing demand for AI compute infrastructure. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether this decentralized approach can surpass traditional centralized resources.
