I’ve been doing not just Unit Testing for my sites but full on Integration Testing and Browser Automation Testing as early as 2007 with Selenium. Lately, however, I’ve been using the faster and generally more compatible Playwright. It has one API and can test on Windows, Linux, Mac, locally, in a container (headless), in my CI/CD pipeline, on Azure DevOps, or in GitHub Actions. For me, it’s that last moment of truth to make sure that the site runs completely from end to end. I can write those Playwright tests in something like TypeScript, and I could launch…

In this episode, Will Wilson, CEO and co-founder of Antithesis, explores Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) with host Sriram Panyam. Wilson was part of the pioneering team at FoundationDB that developed this revolutionary testing approach, which was later acquired by Apple in 2015. After seeing that even sophisticated organizations lacked robust testing for distributed systems, Wilson co-founded Antithesis in 2018 to make DST commercially available. Deterministic simulation testing runs software in a fully controlled, simulated environment in which all sources of non-determinism are eliminated or controlled. Unlike traditional testing or chaos engineering, DST operates in a separate environment from production, allowing…

“ACCC has taken this very seriously and even hinted at legal action over this pricing issue. So yes, this kind of pressure, from both the government and users who are paying for your product, has put a lot of pressure on Microsoft,” he said. “Australia’s consumer laws are strict, probably some of the toughest across the globe and companies usually take complaints seriously because there they have to. When you have millions of users, who are not satisfied with your product’s pricing and the regulator is also involved, a small statement not enough. Accepting your fault and offering refunds sounds…

Scientists at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have created artificial neurons that reproduce the intricate electrochemical behavior of real brain cells. The discovery, published in Nature Electronics, marks a major milestone in neuromorphic computing, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. This advancement could shrink chip sizes by orders of magnitude, cut energy use dramatically, and push artificial intelligence closer to achieving artificial general intelligence. Unlike digital processors or earlier neuromorphic chips that only simulate brain activity through mathematical models, these new neurons physically reproduce how real neurons operate. Just…

(dee karen/Shutterstock) For years, states have handled who gets to plug into the power grid—and how long that process takes. That system held up fine when energy use was steady. It made sense when electricity demands came from households, offices, and the occasional factory. But that’s no longer the world we live in. Now, AI data centers are popping up across the U.S., pulling power like steel mills and refineries used to. They run nonstop. They’re massive. And they’re growing faster than most local utilities can manage. In 2023, data centers accounted for approximately 4.4% of the electricity in the…

The challenge of running simulation and high-performance workloads efficiently is a constant issue, requiring input from stakeholders including infrastructure teams, cybersecurity professionals, and, of course, ever-watchful finance officers.Running these types of high-compute tasks often involves thousands of concurrent processes and are costly to run on traditional infrastructure. IBM’s latest update to its Cloud Code Engine – the launch of Serverless Fleets with GPU support – may reduce complexity. They combine high-performance computing with a managed, pay-as-you-go serverless model, where one point of reference is addressed by the user, and necessary deployment at scale takes place autonomously.High-performance computing without infrastructure frictionEnterprises…

Football season is in full swing — tailgates, rivalries, fantasy leagues, and Sunday afternoons glued to the screen. Alongside the highlights and heartbreaks, there’s another game playing out online: the rush to place bets. Every break in the action brings another sportsbook promo — risk-free wagers, bonus bets, exclusive odds — flooding your feed and inbox. But what you don’t see between the ads and sponsorships is how much money is really in play, or how scammers have joined the lineup. Last year, legally licensed online and retail sportsbooks took nearly $150 billion in bets, a 22.2% jump from 2023…

RockeTruck Demonstrates Latest Fuel Cell-Powered Generator Shannon Bresnahan   |   Uncategorized On October 29, 2025, Cleantech San Diego member RockeTruck, a developer and manufacturer of advanced power generation and conversion products, demonstrated a new electric generator powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology on the Cal State LA campus.   This marked the first public unveiling of the novel “Mobile Fuel Cell Generator” (MFCG), which uses an automotive fuel cell manufactured by American Honda Motors Company, Inc. to generate electricity on a mobile platform. RockeTruck developed the MFCG in collaboration with Cal State LA to deliver electric power when electricity from the…

Published on: November 5, 2025When you write for item in list the compiler quietly sets a lot of machinery in motion. Usually writing a for loop is a pretty mundane task, it’s not that complex of a syntax to write. However, it’s always fun to dig a bit deeper and see what happens under the hood. In this post I’ll unpack the pieces that make iteration tick so you can reason about loops with the same confidence you already have around optionals, enums, or result builders.Here’s what you’ll pick up:What Sequence and Collection promise—and why iterators are almost always structs.How…
