But then the questions start coming in: I had the same questions and a lot of confusion when I started learning Go. Goroutines seems magical - almost too good to be true. The more research I did, things started to make some sense. So I went deeper down the rabbit hole to understand more about how goroutines work along with OS threads. This article is a journey and my attempt to explain how everything works. Let's first get out basics clear. We need to know about "Processes, "Threads, "Context-Switching and some other basic concepts like stack size ( although they are not that important for the context of this article ). A process is an independent execution environment created by the operating system. It consists of: Processes…...

It seems like a simple question, but building a system to answer it objectively'in real-time'is a fascinating engineering challenge. When developing fftradeanalyzer.com, I quickly realized that ingesting stats is easy, but calculating "current value" is incredibly hard. It requires building a pipeline that can handle noisy data, rapid context shifts, and complex normalization. Here's a look under the hood at the technical hurdles of building a real-time sports valuation engine. The Stack We needed speed for the API and powerful libraries for data crunching. Backend API: Python & FastAPI (for async performance). Data Processing: Pandas & NumPy (the heavy lifters). Caching: Redis (crucial for storing processed player values to avoid re-calculating on every request). Data Sources: A mix of official APIs for stats and custom…...

It installs libraries for Python (pip), JavaScript (npm), Lua (luarocks), Rust (cargo), and more. Recently, I added Conan support and would love some feedback or advice! Or as in recorded by me video: If you will watch to vim.org stat - ATTENTION - white theme: (I also have this plugin in Github and thats my source of updates) You will see - 2025-11-12 -> 2025-11-28 And i can explain this - i needed time to develop this all, test, and etc. + i completely working solo so that also taking time Well, i can say only one thing - try my plugin, maybe you will love it! Thanks for attention, have a good day!...

Specter Beats is a browser-based, motion-controlled DJ app designed to make music creation accessible to anyone in the world. Using only a webcam, simple hand gestures can control effects, filters, and transitions in real time. No DJ hardware, no expensive gear, no friction " just pure creativity. The project was built for the Kiroween Hackathon, where the challenge was to create an unforgettable, Halloween-themed user interface. That led to the blend of eerie Spline scenes, floating eyes that track the cursor, animated glitch flashes, and a glowing purple globe that anchors the experience. But behind the spooky visuals is a deeper mission: to make the joy of mixing music available to communities who don't have access to traditional DJ equipment. In many parts of the world, professional DJ gear is completely inaccessible…...

How do we abstract away low-level qubit operations and build more intuitive, manageable quantum programs? Imagine organizing quantum operations into reusable, effect-based units, much like organizing files into folders on your computer. The core idea is Quantum Granular Computing: treating groups of quantum operations as single, abstract units called "granules." Instead of directly manipulating individual qubits, we manipulate these granules, each representing a specific effect on the quantum state. These granules aren't just fixed blocks; they can morph and adapt based on context, providing a flexible approach to quantum programming. Think of it as crafting high-level "quantum verbs" that simplify algorithm design. These "verbs" are represented by mathematical operators, providing a solid theoretical foundation. Benefits…...

47+ min ago (566+ words) Many people are confused when choosing LED light strips: What are the differences between RGB light strips and ordinary single-color light strips? In fact, apart from the different color effects, there are also essential differences in their control methods. Single-color light strips only emit a fixed color (such as warm white, pure white or red), have a simple structure, and usually only have two wires (positive pole and negative pole). As long as it is connected to the matching power supply, the light strip will remain on constantly. If dimming is needed, simply add a simple PWM dimmer or a smart switch. The operation is intuitive and suitable for basic lighting. Each LED of the RGB light strip contains three chips: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). By mixing the three colors, it can present 16 million colors. It usually has four wires:…...

Your lightweight Client for API debugging Get Requestly If you're like most developers, API testing is part of your everyday workflow. Many of us have relied on popular tools like Postman or Insomnia to make API interaction easier. These tools excel at collaboration and syncing but often impose a hidden cloud dependency that can slow you down, introduce privacy concerns, and disrupt your work when the internet falters. A local-first API client puts you in control by running everything locally on your device by default. This approach not only speeds up requests but also helps reduce technical debt by increasing transparency, consistency, and stability in your API…...

You have the opportunity to modify a network, move a virtual machine between subnets, manage access to storage containers and file shares, and work with resource locks and resource tags. During the setup, you create a virtual network, a virtual machine, a storage account, and associated resources. Learning objectives In this module, you'll practice how to: First, we prepare the environment: Login to Microsoft Azure Create a resource group In order to make clean-up easy at the end, start with creating a new resource group to hold the resources for this guided project. Using resource groups to organize things is a quick way to ensure you can manage resources when a project is over. 1.From the Azure portal home page, in…...
