Two very different startups, Plaid and CoreWeave, have been preening themselves in recent weeks to raise money. Their diverging fortunes show how timing, luck and fast-changing tech trends can create and destroy value quickly. Plaid is a victim of circumstance. The fintech startup is working on a secondary share sale, led by mutual fund Franklin Templeton, at a valuation of $5.5 billion or $6 billion, I’ve learned. That’s less than half the $13.4 billion valuation it notched at the height of the zero-intere

I noticed something odd a couple of years ago while having coffee with a friend’s mother. She’s in her mid-seventies, still sharp, still energetic, still the kind of person who makes you forget you’re talking to someone decades older. I asked her what she’d been up to that week, and instead of giving me the ... Read more Read more ›

Given how often most of us rely on our smartphones, it’s a good idea to keep a power bank on hand in the event your phone dies while you’re out and about. If you don’t own one already, Anker’s MagGo Power Bank (10K) is down to $71.99 (nearly $20 off) at Amazon in the lead-up […] Read more ›

Если API начинает тормозить, первое решение обычно очевидно — добавить Redis. Но иногда оказывается, что проблема гораздо проще. В одном из сервисов PostgreSQL начал упираться в повторяющиеся запросы. Одни и те же данные запрашивались тысячами клиентов. Практически каждый HTTP-запрос заканчивался одинаковым SQL-запросом. Любопытство победило — вместо готового решения был написан небольшой кэш прямо внутри сервиса. На это ушло примерно полчаса. Результат оказался неожиданным: некоторые эндпоинты ускорились п Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! Последние несколько лет мы наблюдаем за захватывающей, но тревожной гонкой вооружений между разработчиками средств обхода блокировок и инженерами цензуры (ТСПУ в РФ, GFW в Китае). Ситуация накаляется: после участившихся сбоев в работе Telegram, риск полной блокировки мессенджера в России перестал казаться «страшилкой» и перешел в разряд рабочих сценариев. Уже сейчас иногда умудряются блокировать даже VLESS. Если завтра подобные инструменты «выключат» полностью, нам понадобится что-то принципиа Read more ›

My grandparents never talked about resilience. They wouldn’t have known the word in any psychological sense. But they lived it in ways that I think most of us today would struggle to replicate. They grew up during the war. They raised families on very little. And when things went wrong, which they frequently did, they ... Read more Read more ›
