Despite being an objectively terrible digital camera, the Kodak Charmera has been incredibly popular thanks to a cheap price tag and several fun retro designs inspired by the iconic 1987 single-use Kodak Fling. Instead of entirely rethinking that formula, Reto, the company licensing the Kodak brand, is following up on the original Charmera with a […]

Intro If you work with real-time financial tick data via WebSocket long connections, you’ve probably run into frustrating hidden issues: Connections show as online, but data stops flowing. Adding/removing trading symbols triggers connection storms. Minor network glitches break your data pipeline without obvious error logs. Today I’ll share a practical Python solution built around single-connection dynamic subscription and heartbeat timeout detection . We use alltick api as our example throughout this post. I’ll cover real production pain points, architecture, full runnable code, common bugs and optimization results. All code can be directly used in your projects. Real Production Pain Points & Background My team maintains real-time data pipelines for stocks, forex and cryptocurrencies. A core requirement is to add or remove monitored trading symbols on demand. At first, we created one independent WebSocket connection for each symbol. This simple approach caused a lot of problems in production: Bulk symbol updates create frequent connection creation and destruction, leading to reconnection storms and high network load. Ghost subscriptions: Data keeps coming even after you send an unsubscribe request. False-alive sockets: The connection status stays connected, but tick data stops completely. Your analysis logic runs on invalid data. We refactored the architecture to use one single persistent WebSocket connection for all symbols, plus an independent thread for heartbeat monitoring. After the upgrade, all hidden connection issues are gone, and the system runs stably under high-frequency data traffic. 4 Common WebSocket Issues in Fintech Let’s break down the most frequent problems when using WebSocket for financial streaming. 1. Connection Flood & Reconnection Storms Rebuilding connections every time you update symbols causes endless handshakes and closures. It wastes system resources and makes the entire data stream unstable. 2. Undetectable False-Alive Sockets Network j

Google Chrome version 150 and 151, expected in late June and July, respectively, will cut off support for the last remaining workarounds for running older ad blockers, 9to5Google reports.

For months, Big Tech's Washington lobbyists have chased after the holy grail of pro-AI legislation: preemption. This would be a comprehensive federal law, passed in Congress and signed by the president, applying one set of AI rules across the entire country and overriding the legally messy state-by-state approach to regulation. For months, lobbyists have run […]

Roblox's vice president of safety product policy, Eliza Jacobs, told NBC News that Roblox is "optimistic" that its new facial age estimation tech will "continue to get better," saying, "Ticking a box to say you're 13 or older, it's not enough anymore."

Last year, the FBI opened a Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, for simulating cyberattacks. Think of it sort of like the famous Hogan's Alley, but for modern digital crime training. It's a massive 22,000 square-foot replica of an entire town, complete with a convenience store, gas station, hospital, and even fully furnished houses. It's a […]
You don't really ever have to explain why a universal remote is a good idea. You have a bunch of stuff that needs controlling; this thing controls them all. Many companies have set out to build a product worthy of this idea, and one product came much closer than most. It was called the Harmony, […]
