1+ min ago (487+ words) The New Ways Python Is Transforming Data in 2025 Python has long been a favorite language for data professionals, but the way we use it today is very different from even three years ago. Driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and scalable data systems, Python has evolved into a powerhouse that supports everything from real-time analytics to fully autonomous AI workflows. Below are some of the new and emerging ways Python is being used in the world of data in 2025. Thanks to the integration of large language models (LLMs), Python now allows analysts to generate insights automatically. Tools like PandasAI, ydata-profiling, and Sweetviz can: Generate full exploratory data analysis reports Allow users to "chat" with their dataframes Produce visualizations on demand This shift moves analysts from manual wrangling to conversational and AI-enhanced exploration. As data privacy becomes more…...

He shares insights into why Apache Spark was the choice for creating such a system and how it fits in the "traditional" engineering practices. George Mao shares a deep dive into evolving a basic web application to a planet-scale, global architecture. He walks through five stages of maturity, focusing on adding enterprise-grade security, achieving global high availability and disaster recovery, optimizing content delivery costs with CDNs, and implementing globally consistent persistence using serverless technologies. In this episode, QCon AI New York 2025 Chair Wes Reisz speaks with Reken CEO and Google Trust & Safety founder Shuman Ghosemajumder about the erosion of digital trust. They explore how deepfakes and automated social engineering are scaling cybercrime and argues defenders must move beyond default…...

But when you build 26 websites by yourself " each with unique content libraries, SEO structures, schemas, analytics, and multilingual support " the experience becomes less like "making websites" and more like engineering an ecosystem. Behind the scenes, the real work happens in a layer that most users will never see: This article breaks down the actual engineering insights I gained while building the FlameAI multi-site web ecosystem. 1. A Single Codebase Can Power a Whole Universe " If You Design It Correctly People often assume "many websites = many codebases." In reality, the opposite is true. I found that the fastest way to scale from 3 sites " 10 " 20+ was to treat everything like: Core elements reused across all sites: Each new site basically becomes: "plugged…...

5+ min ago (297+ words) Alfred Nobel, also known as Alfred Bernhard Nobel, was a Swedish chemist, inventor, engineer, and businessman. He is known for inventing the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr Alfred was born into the prominent Nobel family in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Nobel Peace Prize day is celebrated every year on December 10. The day honours the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize, who died on December 10. The Nobel is an annual award for those who have done the most for the fraternity and abolition of war in favor of peace in the world. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes that were established by Alfred Nobel. He was from Sweden, who was also an industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer.

5+ min ago (858+ words) The core execution principle of sync is consistent between standalone mode and cluster mode. The main differences lie in the deployment approach and the task distribution mechanism. Therefore, this section uses standalone mode as an example to explain the principles. We'll explain the differences in cluster mode later. As shown in the figure below, we can abstract the architecture of sync as a typical producer'consumer model: In standalone mode, the producer and consumer run within the same process and collaborate concurrently through goroutines (lightweight threads). Taking the merge process shown in the figure as an example, sync traverses the source and target synchronously. It reads the key at the current position from each side, for example, file1 from the source and file2 from the target: juicefs sync file filtering workflow: The comparison logic continues until all keys from both source and target…...

How Cashie 2.0 Works: The Three-Pillar Bridge Cashie 2.0 is architected around three foundational pillars: 1. x402 Payment: 'The Pledge' Cashie campaigns begin with a single ERC-3009 signature, where a project or KOL pledges funds to a campaign. This is the "X-Payment" proof, and it's verified on-chain. No gas. No manual transfer. It ensures that funds are committed and can be distributed autonomously. 2. CARV ID: 'The Proof' How to reward a retweet or any other engagements? Traditional wallets don't recognize @handles on social media. Cashie solves this with CARV ID, which maps social…...

7+ min ago (269+ words) Recent research from Gartner encourages organizations to block agentic browsers (or AI browsers). While these browsers could transform user interaction with websites, they could also introduce considerable cybersecurity risks. Therefore, the report asserts that "CISOs must block all AI browsers in the foreseeable future to minimize risk exposure." Earlier this year, research revealed how AI browsers could be manipulated into interacting with malicious landing pages. The Guardio Labs research revealed "an attack surface far wider than anything we've faced before, where breaking one AI model could mean compromising millions of users simultaneously." The risks associated with agentic AI are considerable, especially as development accelerates at a pace security measures aren't keeping." "This underscores why enterprises remain cautious. AI browsers are evolving faster than the guardrails that traditionally protect end users and corporate environments. Transparency around system-level capabilities, independent audits, and…...

Another 2 to 5 inches of liquid precipitation could be added to the already saturated terrain of northwest and west-central Montana. The National Weather Service issued rare December flood watches for these regions: Those watches will continue through Thursday. Western Montana received a heavy mixture of rain and snow earlier this week. A second round of what experts call an "atmospheric river" is expected to arrive late Tuesday night and continue through at least Thursday. Another 2 to 5 inches of liquid precipitation could be added to the already saturated terrain of northwest and west-central Montana. Unseasonably warm weather in the Billings area this week will result in daytime highs reaching near 60 degrees Fahrenheit by Thursday. An inbound Canadian cold…...

10+ min ago (370+ words) As a full-stack developer or SRE, you likely live in a world of microservices and polyrepos. You have 10, 20, or maybe 50+ repositories cloned locally. Every morning, the ritual is the same. navigate to each folder, checking if you forgot to push changes or if you're behind origin/main. This manual context switching is a productivity killer. It pulls you out of your flow state before you even write a single line of code. Existing GUIs (like GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree) are often too slow or bloated due to Electron. lazygit is amazing, but it's designed for focusing on one repository at a time, not managing fifty. I needed a tool that was: So, I built Git-Scope. We built this for the Polyrepo Power User'specifically: Pain: You are working on a feature that spans 5 services (auth, payments, core, etc.). You edited code…...

10+ min ago (489+ words) DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. (Atlanta News First) " It was a packed room at the Wesley Chapel-William C. Brown Library as citizens poured in to learn about data centers and campuses. "When I start to talk to people within our own community, they don't even know what a data center is, and then once they found out what a data center was, they don't know the difference between a data center and a data campus," said Jackie Malcom. The forum comes as DeKalb County mulls a 1 million-square-foot data center campus, to be built in Ellenwood, not far from a neighborhood. "Enough is enough," Malcom said. "I just feel like they're just trying to find any empty space in our community and just want to slap it in our community." Activists are concerned about potential pollution, energy use and their health. They had a…...
