TORONTO — As Ontario’s electricity demand is projected to grow significantly over the next two decades, non-wires solutions—a term that encompasses energy storage, demand response to alleviate peak loads, energy efficiency, and decentralized power generation—are emerging as a prudent way to defer and avoid costly grid upgrades.  New analysis commissioned by Clean Energy Canada and conducted by The Brattle Group finds that distributors and system operators can achieve significant cost-savings when distributed energy resources (DERs) are leveraged to mitigate distribution system constraints. If this type of targeted DER deployment and control can be scaled across the province, it could reduce…

Creating a Swift framework shouldn’t be hard. This tutorial will help you making a universal framework for complex projects. What is a framework?A framework is a hierarchical directory that encapsulates shared resources, such as a dynamic shared library, nib files, image files, localized strings, header files, and reference documentation in a single package.So in a nutshell, a framework is a highly reusable component for your apps.How to make it?There is an article about Xcode conventions which will help you organize your projects, you should check that first, if you haven’t before.Traditional wayThere is a traditional way to make a framework…

Cisco Blogs / Developer / Recap Scaling the Future: Reddit AMA on Network Automation at Scale TL;DR: Cisco’s Strategic Direction Cisco is shifting toward a unified operational model that emphasizes standardization, human-in-the-loop AI, and intent-based automation. AI as a “Reasoning Layer”: Cisco is not moving toward fully autonomous AI. Instead, AI acts as a reasoning tool that analyzes telemetry, detects issues, and proposes validated fixes. Human approval is always required before any configuration changes are pushed to the network. Unified Operations (AgenticOps): The goal is to bridge the gap between cloud-managed (Meraki) and on-premises (Catalyst) environments. By using a single…

Be careful delegating your work to that chatbot: A new peer-reviewed study published this month by the American Psychological Association found that people who heavily rely on AI tools for work tasks reported feeling less confident in their abilities and had less ownership over their work.There has been growing research on how our brains function when we use AI tools. A landmark study from MIT in 2025 found that our brains don’t retain as much information or employ necessary critical thinking skills when writing tasks are outsourced to AI chatbots. This new study aimed to understand how our human behavior, specifically…

I want to discuss accessibility because it is the most important thing for making websites. Other A List Apart articles give you innovation and insight. This article will give you homework. These are just my personal views, but they’re pretty good. Article Continues Below I want to start off with a couple of statements, and you will agree: Designers are good people. I have never heard a designer say, “I don’t care if somebody can’t read this text”, “Not my fault if somebody can’t use this device”, or “Who cares if this is confusing?” Some designs exclude people. You have…

Organizations are naturally drawn to Salesforce, consistently ranked the world’s leading CRM by the International Data Corporation, because of its ability to centralize customer data and streamline operations. Yet delivering on that potential starts with a complex, often underestimated task of migrating historic data into the platform. A clean migration sets up the organization for success, while a hastily planned one can lead to frustration long after the migration is complete. After nearly a decade designing Salesforce transformations, including working directly inside Salesforce supporting enterprise implementations, I’ve learned that migrating data is never as simple as lifting and shifting records.…

Yet another government spyware maker has been caught after its customers used fake Android apps to install its surveillance software on targets, according to a new report. On Thursday, Osservatorio Nessuno, an Italian digital rights organization that researches spyware, published a report on a new malware it calls Morpheus. The spyware, which masquerades as a phone updating app, is capable of stealing a broad range of data from an intended target’s device.  The researchers’ findings show that the demand for spyware by law enforcement and intelligence agencies is so high that there are a large number of companies providing this…

News The move would create a combined entity valued at around $267 billion Deutsche Telekom is considering merging with its US unit, T-Mobile, according to a report from Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter. Deutsche Telekom already owns a 53% stake in the US company but is now reportedly considering forming a holding company to combine the two businesses. If such a deal were to be struck, this new company would be jointly owned by both companies’ existing shareholders and would potentially seek a listing in both the US and Europe, the sources said. Reporting from the Financial Times…
