Lecterns have been a feature of public speaking for centuries. Research in the International Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics has developed a new design based on body measurements and working patterns of university instructors to reduce postural health risks linked to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Lecturers rated it easier to use than conventional lecterns, the study reports.

Most engineering stories start at day one with a clean repo. This one did not, and I think the messy version is the more useful one to read. I stepped in as CTO at RAQTS, a sports-tech platform that connects players and facilities, during a phase where the stakes were high and there was no room to stop and rebuild. The product already existed. It already had real players and real facilities depending on it. My job was not to design something from scratch. It was to steady something in motion and

Spin waves (SWs), or magnons, are collective excitations of magnetization in magnetic materials arising from electron spins. They have attracted considerable attention as information carriers and have shown promise in logic circuits, memory devices and physical neural networks. Among the emerging platforms for manipulating SWs are magnonic crystals (MCs), engineered magnetic materials with periodic structures designed to control magnon propagation. These periodic structures give rise to magnonic

MCP Is Not Replacing REST. It Is Replacing the Entire Mental Model of How Agents Use Tools. REST was designed for humans writing code to call services. You read the docs, you write the client, you ship it. That whole loop assumes a developer is in the middle, translating intent into HTTP calls. When you put an LLM in the driver's seat, that assumption breaks completely, and the cracks are showing up in every agent system I have seen in production. Model Context Protocol (MCP), originally introdu

In August 2023, communities across Southern California braced for Tropical Storm Hilary—the first tropical storm to directly impact the region this century. Although the storm weakened from a Category 4 hurricane before making landfall, it still brought damaging winds, record rainfall and widespread flooding across the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico.

Working with databases is a big part of backend development, and choosing the right ORM can save you hours of work. Here are five of the most popular Node.js ORMs, along with their strengths and weaknesses, to help you pick the right one for your next project. 1. Prisma A modern, type-safe ORM built for TypeScript with an excellent developer experience. Pros Cons Drizzle ORM A lightweight, SQL-first ORM focused on performance and simplicity. Pros Cons 3. TypeORM A mature ORM with broad database

Every binomial confidence interval you have ever computed on an eval pass rate, Wald, Wilson, Clopper-Pearson, all of them, rests on one assumption: each example is an independent draw. Most eval sets violate it. You have 40 questions generated from the same 8 documents, or 200 turns from the same 30 conversations, or 150 examples that are really 50 cases with 3 paraphrases each. Those are not 200 independent observations. And when you feed a correlated set into a formula that assumes independen

Tools4AI is a 100% Java agentic AI framework that turns any annotated Java method into an AI-callable action. Ollama runs open models like Llama 3.1 and Phi-4 locally and exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. Point Tools4AI at http://localhost:11434/v1 and you get a fully offline, on-premise AI agent — no data ever leaves your network. In this tutorial we build an insurance claims triage agent that reads a claimant's free-text incident report, routes it to the right business action, extracts structu

Process mismatch In tools built for Scrum, a task is an input: something you file, size, and work on. In Shape Up, a task is an output — something discovered while building work that was already shaped and bet on. That's the core mismatch, and it plays out differently depending on the tool. Jira does exactly what it was built to do. Its shape is Scrum's shape: a backlog, estimates, sprints. Teams bring Shape Up in anyway and try to make it fit the tool's shape. A scope becomes an epic. A task be

Every data team eventually asks the same question: what runs our pipelines, on what schedule, with what retry logic, and who gets paged when it fails. The answer used to default to Airflow because there wasn't a real alternative. Now there are three reasonable defaults, and they optimize for different things. Picking wrong doesn't break anything on day one — it shows up eighteen months later as either an operations team drowning in scheduler maintenance or an engineering team fighting a platform

TL;DR: This walkthrough shows how developers and coding agents can use Quantiles, an open-source AI evaluation platform licensed under Apache 2.0, to quickly run, analyze, and compare AI evaluations locally. We'll use the SimpleQA Verified benchmark as an example throughout this post, letting you follow the commands, inspect the evaluation results, and configure your own model for the same workflow. Running an AI evaluation is rarely as simple as sending prompts to a model. Developers must conne

Cloud AI coding tools are powerful, but they also come with a bill, an API key, and a quiet upload of your source code to someone else's servers. What if your AI assistant ran entirely on your own machine instead? That is FLASH CLI (Fast Local Agent SHell): an AI-powered command-line assistant that talks to local or self-hosted Ollama models and can actually run shell commands for you. No API key. No subscription. No cloud. 100% local. It connects to an Ollama server, by default on localhost, so

A useful agent trace is not a list of timestamps. It is a causal tree. When a TypeScript agent retrieves documents in parallel, calls a model, retries a tool, and falls back to cached data, each operation needs a trace ID, its own span ID, and the correct parent span. Without those relationships, completion order is easily mistaken for execution structure. This article builds a small Node.js tracer to demonstrate the core mechanics: immutable async context, parent-child spans, reliable finalizat

I finally shipped the first version of my freelance landing page. The funny part? I spent weeks thinking I had a design problem. I didn't. I had a content problem. The layout is good enough. The copy is good enough. The CSS is good enough. What the page really needs now is more real projects. Instead of redesigning it again, I'm going to spend my time replacing concept work with actual client work as it comes in. Sometimes the next version isn't another refactor. It's simply experience. 🔗 https

Before we start This is a series about the intermediate results of an ongoing effort, not a finished story. It isn't an academic paper — it's a record of real engineering work and the insights that emerged along the way. Also, it's not about AI generating code. The AI angle here is about investigation and research — a careful, governed use of AI as a tool, not an autopilot — something I'll come back to in the final part. A word on why now, with the project still unfinished: details fade — the sm
