Microsoft is preparing to lay off a significant chunk of its Xbox division and is reevaluating the plans for its next-generation Project Helix console. It's apparently also considering dramatically restructuring its relationship with Xbox, and hasn't ruled out spinning it off into a separate company. A new report from The Information suggests that Microsoft has […]

I’ve struggled with insomnia since I was very young. Like many chronic overthinkers, I tend to fall asleep best when my mind is occupied by something else, such as podcasts, YouTube compilations, or my personal favorite: rain sounds. But earbuds can be uncomfortable, and playing audio out loud isn’t exactly considerate when I’m staying at […]

If you’re planning on traveling anytime soon, Bose’s second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones are a great companion for long flights and train rides. Not only do they offer excellent noise cancellation, but they also retain the foldable design of their predecessor, making them easy to pack in a carry-on. They’re even easier to recommend today, now […]

GSoC 2026 | CircuitVerse × Canvas LMS LTI 1.3 Integration If Week 1 was about getting familiar with the codebase and understanding what needed to be built, Week 2 was about learning the hard way that writing code is only half the job. The other half — the messier, more humbling half — is getting that code accepted by the people who actually maintain the project. This week was full of detours, rejected pull requests, reviewer feedback that stung a little, and a surprisingly frustrating fight with a two-letter word in Ruby. But by the end of it, I had something real to show: a clean, reviewed, and submitted change to CircuitVerse that lays the foundation for the entire LTI 1.3 integration. Let me walk you through it. A Quick Refresher: What Are We Building? CircuitVerse is an open-source platform where students can build and simulate digital circuits right in their browser. The project I'm working on aims to connect CircuitVerse with Canvas, one of the most widely used Learning Management Systems (LMS) in universities around the world. The technology that makes this connection possible is called LTI — Learning Tools Interoperability. Think of it as a universal plug that lets any educational tool (like CircuitVerse) slot into any LMS (like Canvas) so that students can log in once, get assignments, submit work, and have their grades flow back automatically — all without leaving their course page. There are two versions of this plug: LTI 1.1 , which is old and uses a simpler (but outdated) security mechanism, and LTI 1.3 , which is newer, more secure, and what Canvas actually recommends today. My job is to bring CircuitVerse fully up to LTI 1.3 standards. Monday–Tuesday: A Pull Request That Taught Me to Read Diffs I started the week with what I thought was a solid pull request (PR) — a fix for a bug in CircuitVerse's existing LTI 1.1 grade passback feature. "Grade passback" is the process where CircuitVerse sends a student's score back to Canvas after they complete an as

If you've ever tried building a sports betting application, odds tracker, arbitrage scanner, value betting tool, or sports analytics dashboard, you've probably experienced the same thing: You start with the exciting part. The idea. The algorithm. The UI. The business logic. And then reality hits. The Hidden Problem Nobody Talks About Most developers assume the hardest part of a betting-related project is the prediction model or arbitrage logic. In practice, the real challenge is data infrastructure. Before your project can calculate anything, you need: Live events Accurate odds Multiple bookmakers Consistent market structures Historical updates Reliable refresh rates And suddenly your "weekend project" turns into a full-time data engineering job. The Scraping Trap Most developers begin by scraping bookmaker websites. At first it seems simple: Open DevTools Find the API request Parse the response Save the data Done, right? Not quite. Within a few weeks you'll likely encounter: Changed endpoints Rate limits Cloudflare protection Different JSON formats Missing markets Broken parsers Increased maintenance costs Instead of improving your product, you're fixing scrapers. Again. And again. And again. Every Bookmaker Speaks a Different Language Let's say you want to compare odds from five sportsbooks. You quickly discover that every provider structures data differently. One bookmaker might return: { "home" : "Liverpool" , "away" : "Arsenal" } Another might return: { "team1" : "Liverpool" , "team2" : "Arsenal" } A third one could use: { "participants" : [ "Liverpool" , "Arsenal" ] } Now multiply that problem across: dozens of bookmakers hundreds of leagues thousands of events You end up spending more time normalizing data than building features. Real-Time Data Changes Everything Many projects work perfectly during testing. Then live data arrives. Odds can move multiple times within a minute. If your system refreshes too slowly: arbitrage opportunities disappear alerts become

Your API hands out 50 records at a time across 400 pages. You need all of them. You do not need them all at once. Here's a very familiar situation that shows up constantly on the backend. Some API returns data in pages, 50 or 100 records at a time, and you need to walk every page: sync them to your database, export them to a file, run a report. The endpoint gives you a cursor or a page number and you keep asking until there's nothing left. The way most of us write it the first time looks like this: async function getAllRecords () { const all = []; let cursor = 0 ; while ( cursor !== null ) { const { records , nextCursor } = await fetchPage ( cursor ); all . push (... records ); cursor = nextCursor ; } return all ; } const everything = await getAllRecords (); for ( const record of everything ) { process ( record ); } It works. At four hundred records it's fine. The trouble starts when the dataset grows, and it has three separate problems hiding in it. It holds the entire dataset in memory before you touch a single record. It's all or nothing: if page 380 fails, you've thrown away the 19,000 records you already fetched . And it's eager. You can't start processing record one until the very last page has landed , even if all you wanted was the first ten. There's a shape in JavaScript built for exactly this, and if you read the first two posts in this series you already have both halves of it. Two ideas you've already seen In the CSV post , we pulled rows out of a huge file one at a time with a generator, so the file never fully loaded into memory. Lazy. Pull-based. You ask for the next row, you get the next row, nothing more. In the async/await post , we saw that a generator can pause at a yield and resume later.A generator can hold its place across an asynchronous gap. Put those together. A generator that pulls data lazily, and can pause to await something between pulls. That's an async generator, and it's the natural tool for walking a paginated API. You pull records

Reflecting on two major technical challenges from my backend engineering internship, focusing on fault tolerance, infrastructure, and distributed architectures. Introduction As I wrap up my HNG internship, I’ve been reflecting on the gap between code that "works on my machine" and code that survives in production. Here is a look at two tasks from Stage 9—one solo, one team-based—that completely changed how I approach backend engineering and infrastructure. The Individual Task: Background Job Scheduler What it was For my individual Stage 9 task, I built a distributed background job scheduler backed by PostgreSQL and a FastAPI backend, featuring a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS frontend. It manages async tasks (like a mock email sending queue) using a MinHeap priority queue, Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) dependency resolution, a Dead-Letter Queue (DLQ), and a real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) dashboard. The problem it was solving Heavy asynchronous tasks—like email generation or batch processing—cannot block the main API thread. The system needed to successfully queue, prioritize, retry on failure, and track every job entirely independently from the standard request-response cycle. How I approached it I built the core logic from the ground up: a MinHeap and an alternative Timing Wheel algorithm for scheduling, a worker engine featuring a 3-attempt backoff sequence (1s, 5s, 25s with jitter), a DAG dependency checker, and a starvation daemon to prevent tasks from hanging. Once the CRUD API and SSE streaming were hooked up, I containerized the entire application with Docker and wrote my deploy scripts. I thought I was done. What actually broke and how I fixed it The application code took hours. The deployment took a full day of non-stop debugging across multiple cloud providers. Oracle Cloud was out of capacity on every free tier shape, and GCP demanded upfront payment. I finally got a t3.micro running on AWS, but that’s when the real DevOps nightmare began: The SSL Chicken-and-Egg

Eight years ago (a geological epoch or two ago in Internet terms) Nicholas Jitkoff released itty.bitty.site - a website which could render whole websites just based on what was in the link, something like: itty.bitty.site?SOMEBASE64ENCODEDVALUE== et voilà! Free web-hosting if you could make it fit ;) At the time, I was rather obsessed with qr-codes thanks to developing QRGoPass and was working with aster plots a lot, so I developed an app that could fit into a qr-code! Today itty.bitty.site no longer exists so I can't do that any more... But I did make it 80% smaller without "cheating" and using modern CSS instead of d3.js ;)

Every time you use an online PDF converter, your file travels to a server somewhere — processed by a company you don't know, stored temporarily on hardware you don't control. For a random meme? Fine. For a payslip, a contract, or a medical document? That's a real privacy problem. What I built ConvertiZen is a document converter that runs 100% in the browser using WebAssembly and modern JS APIs. Your file never leaves your device. Ever. Verify it yourself: open DevTools > Network tab > run a conversion. Zero outgoing requests containing your file data. What it supports 40+ format pairs: PDF ↔ Word, JPG, PNG, Text, HTML, Markdown Excel ↔ CSV, JSON, HTML Images: JPG ↔ PNG ↔ WebP, GIF/BMP → PDF JSON ↔ CSV, Markdown ↔ HTML, XML → JSON How it works PDF.js for PDF parsing docx library for Word generation SheetJS for Excel/CSV Canvas API for image conversions Everything client-side — no server required Pricing 3 free conversions/day, no account needed. Beyond that: €0.69/conversion, €4.99 for a pack of 10, or €4.99/month for unlimited Premium. Feedback welcome What formats are missing? What would make you trust a browser-based tool over a server-based one? 👉 https://convertizen.netlify.app
