Why do some web applications run fast, stay secure, and scale effortlessly — while others struggle with performance and reliability? The secret often lies not in the programming language itself, but in the framework behind it. Despite the rise of many new technologies, PHP remains the backbone of the modern web — powering around 74% of all websites today. Moreover, according to Statista, about 18% of developers worldwide continue to actively use PHP. With such a variety of tools — from Laravel and Symfony to Spiral and CodeIgniter — choosing the optimal PHP framework in 2025 is becoming increasingly difficult.…

Diamonds, lasers, and oil aren’t the first things you may think of when considering ways to keep chips and computers cool. But as modern chip designs pack and stack more transistors into ever smaller spaces, heat has emerged as a critical problem.To solve it, the semiconductor industry is throwing everything at the wall. What sticks could enable the scaling of not only AI data centers but also a host of applications in consumer electronics, communications, and military equipment.As Senior Editor Samuel K. Moore explained to me between bites of a cold tongue sandwich at the 2nd Ave Deli, near IEEE…

The guidance The guidance states admins should treat on-prem Exchange servers as being “under imminent threat,” and itemizes key practices for admins: First, it notes, “the most effective defense against exploitation is ensuring all Exchange servers are running the latest version and Cumulative Update (CU)”; It points out that Microsoft Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE) is the sole supported on-premises version of Exchange, since Microsoft ended support for previous versions on October 14, 2025; It urges admins to ensure Microsoft’s Emergency Mitigation Service remains enabled for delivery of interim mitigations; It urges admins to establish a security baseline for Exchange…

Harrinton’s venture was incorporated in Delaware in May 2025,under the name Preventive Medicine PBC. As a public-benefit corporation, it is organized to put its public mission above profits. “If our research shows [heritable genome editing] cannot be done safely, that conclusion is equally valuable to the scientific community and society,” Harrington wrote in his post. Harrington is a cofounder of Mammoth Biosciences, a gene-editing company pursuing drugs for adults, and remains a board member there. In recent months, Preventive has sought endorsements from leading figures in genome editing, but according to its post, it had secured only one—from Paula Amato,…

NOTE: This blog is adapted from this Databricks Data + AI Summit VideoAcross every level of government, data is no longer just a byproduct of operations—it’s the key to improving citizen services, reducing waste, and making faster, more informed decisions. Federal mandates are reinforcing this shift as well. The IT Modernization Executive Order and the Federal Data Strategy have together laid the groundwork for a more resilient, forward-looking government by modernizing infrastructure and elevating data as a strategic asset. Building on that foundation, the Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence and directives to stop waste, fraud, and abuse highlight the need…

Image source: https://behaviorgap.com/the-magic-of-incremental-change/When we launched Amazon SageMaker AI in 2017, we had a clear mission: put machine learning in the hands of any developer, irrespective of their skill level. We wanted infrastructure engineers who were “total noobs in machine learning” to be able to achieve meaningful results in a week. To remove the roadblocks that made ML accessible only to a select few with deep expertise.Eight years later, that mission has evolved. Today’s ML builders aren’t just training simple models—they’re building generative AI applications that require massive compute, complex infrastructure, and sophisticated tooling. The problems have gotten harder, but our…

In the last 12 months, fraudsters have used advanced AI tools to create more convincing schemes, resulting in over $400 billion in stolen funds globally.¹ For years, Android has been on the frontlines in the battle against scammers, using the best of Google AI to build proactive, multi-layered protections that can anticipate…

Please use this as a resource, and let us know if there are any topics that you would like to see for future media briefs. U.S. tariff uncertainty, paused government rebates, and Canada’s relatively limited EV market have caused Canada’s EV transition to hit a snag: while EVs are projected to make up a record one in four new cars sold globally this year, Canadian sales fell 23% in the first quarter and 34% in the…

I’m drawing a semicircular BMI gauge in a PDF using UIGraphicsPDFRenderer and UIBezierPath. The colored arc and labels render correctly, but the arrow pointer (which should point to the arc position corresponding to the BMI value) appears in the wrong position/side or with the wrong rotation for the BMI I pass. I pasted the full function below. The arc looks fine, but when I call generateBMIGaugePDF(bmi: someValue) the arrow does not sit under (or point exactly to) the correct location on the arc — it may be offset, mirrored, or rotated incorrectly. What am I doing wrong? How should I…
