This post was authored by Aaryan Naithani, a software engineer intern on the Storage Team. I used to think asking too many questions would make me look unprepared. Ironically, not asking them slowed me down far more. Early in my internship, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. New tools, new systems, and a constant need for access, permissions, and guidance. Like most people starting out, I didn’t want to bother anyone. At the same time, I did not yet understand how to ask questions the right way. My first real learning moment came unexpectedly. I had a doubt about accessing an…
Ravie LakshmananJun 27, 2026Messaging Security / Cyber Espionage The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said it, together with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), uncovered a long-running campaign orchestrated by Russian intelligence services to break into the messaging accounts of government officials, military personnel, politicians, and activists in Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. The systematic cyber attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information from the victims, the agency added. “The goal of these ‘hacks’ is to gain access to sensitive military, political, and economic information exchanged by users, as well as to steal their personal data,” the agency warned in…
Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Cement decarbonization attracts miracle stories. One company has a new binder. Another has a carbon-negative aggregate. Someone else has an electrochemical process, a hydrogen kiln, a low-carbon limestone route, a supplementary cementitious material, a recycled cement process or a carbon-capture retrofit. Some of these ideas are useful. Some will become real niches. A few may become meaningful industrial wedges. But the sector will not be decarbonized by one magic cement. The first mistake is treating cement demand as fixed. Cement is not an end use. It is an input into…
It started with a bedtime problem. There’s a manuscript on my disk — a middle-grade fantasy a young writer in the house has been drafting. Fifteen chapters and a prologue, all in Markdown. The ask was simple and entirely reasonable: could it be a real PDF, the kind you can hold, with every chapter starting on a fresh page like a proper book? So I asked for exactly that. One sentence. A minute later there was a 152-page PDF, each chapter opening at the top of its own page, plus a little shell script I could re-run whenever the draft…
If Samsung Messages is still your default texting app, keep reading. The app is being deactivated for US users, and the texts, RCS conversations and message history sitting in it don’t automatically transfer anywhere. It’s all moving to Google Messages, and the migration is genuinely simple, but simple doesn’t mean automatic. The steps that preserve your text history are ones you have to take yourself, before the deadline, and the longer you wait, the more likely it is that something gets left behind.On a page with information about the switch, Samsung links to instructions on switching to Google’s Messages app, including…
Scott Kingsley, a VP of Engineering at SmartBear, speaks with host Gregory Kapfhammer about the Swagger ecosystem. They discuss the user interface, editor, and Swagger CodeGen and how these tools support the creation and documentation of OpenAPI-compatible APIs. Scott describes how Swagger fits into frameworks like FastAPI, as well as how Swagger APIs can be exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They discussion closes with best practices for designing and testing APIs and the role that APIs play in a landscape in which AI agents are building and interacting with APIs. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.…
Nanoscience provides the conceptual and technological bridge necessary to unify physical and biological perspectives in mechanobiology. Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from biology, physics, and engineering to characterize how mechanical forces regulate biological systems across scales, from molecular interactions to tissue and organ function. It focuses on establishing causal relationships between physical forces and biological responses, including the reciprocal feedback by which cells sense, transduce, and actively remodel their environment1,2. These insights underpin emerging mechanomedicine strategies that aim to target aberrant mechanotransduction pathways for diagnostics and therapeutic interventions3,4.

Most companies deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) face the same problem. They have more tools than ever. Individual tasks are faster, yet the fundamental way work moves through the organization remains unchanged. The knowledge worker still fills the gaps. They retrieve context from one system, reformat it for another, chase approvals through a third, and escalate when something breaks. First-generation AI addressed pieces of this: summaries, drafts, search. What it has not done is understand how work moves across teams, retain previous decisions, or take governed action across the application estate. Strong demo results, modest operational returns. Enterprises face four forms…
What do an instinct to fix things and the 1999 global panic over whether computers would survive the date change to 2000, known as the Y2K bug, have in common? Both helped shape IEEE Senior Member Ajay Prasad’s career.Prasad is an industry process director at Dassault Systèmes in Detroit. His focus is global oversight of industry process experts specializing in Enovia, a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution and one of the company’s flagship products.

The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s blog site and is being republished here with the author’s permission.Coding agents are extraordinarily good now, and getting better fast. The interesting consequence is that the hard part of engineering moved from writing code to deciding whether to trust it, which makes review the most leveraged skill in software right now. How you approach it depends enormously on who you are: A solo developer with no users and a team maintaining a 10-year-old application are not solving the same problem.I am more optimistic about agentic engineering than I have ever been.
