IBM += Terranform (HashiCorp) - $6.4B vs free OpenTofu
IBM closes $6.4B HashiCorp acquisition | TechCrunch
IBM is one of several legacy software companies riding the AI and cloud computing wave, with “Big Blue” hitting an all-time high valuation of more than $240 billion this year.Terraform was once available under an open source license, but HashiCorp controversially switched it to a proprietary license back in 2023 (which led to a community-driven fork called OpenTofu). This license change likely made HashiCorp a more appealing acquisition prospect, giving suitors more control over how Terraform is used in industry.

10x Faster TypeScript compiler, in GoLang!
A 10x Faster TypeScript - TypeScript
...The native implementation will drastically improve editor startup, reduce most build times by 10x, and substantially reduce memory usage. By porting the current codebase, we expect to be able to preview a native implementation of tsc capable of command-line typechecking by mid-2025, with a feature-complete solution for project builds and a language service by the end of the year.You can build and run the Go code from our new working repo, which is offered under the same license as the existing TypeScript codebase. Check the README for instructions on how to build and run tsc and the language server, and to see a summary of what’s implemented so far..."
Anders Hejlsberg, lead architect of TypeScript and Technical Fellow at Microsoft, introduces a new port of TypeScript that will deliver the next generation of high-performance developer tooling.

programming puzzles
for training humans and AI to code...
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.

Data formats: Apache Parquet vs ORC vs Avro
Apache Parquet is a columnar storage file format available to any project in the Hadoop ecosystem. It’s designed for efficiency and performance, and it’s particularly well-suited for running complex queries on large datasets.
Parquet is an excellent choice when dealing with large, complex, and nested data structures, especially for read-heavy workloads or when you want to perform analytics using tools like Apache Spark or Apache Arrow. Its columnar storage approach makes it an excellent choice for data warehousing solutions where aggregation queries are common.
Parquet
GitHub - apache/parquet-format: Apache Parquet Format
ORC is another popular file format in the Hadoop ecosystem. It’s a self-describing, type-aware columnar file format designed for Hadoop workloads.
ORC is commonly used in cases where high-speed writing is necessary, particularly with Hive-based frameworks. It also suits well when data modifications (updates and deletes) are needed in your use case because it supports ACID properties. Lastly, ORC is a good choice when using complex and nested data types.
while Parquet is a columnar data format, for "row" level storage is is often used "Avro", that besides efficiently storing data in binary format also includes a data schema.

Visual AI (ANN)
🔹 Artificial Neurons (Nodes) – Basic computing units that process and transmit information.
🔹 Connections (Synapses) – Links between neurons, each with an associated weight that determines signal strength.
🔹 Activation Functions – Mathematical functions that decide which neurons get activated and contribute to the final prediction.
The more neurons and connections a neural net has, the more complex patterns it can learn:
- Higher accuracy – More neurons = better pattern recognition.
- Increased capacity – The network can store and recall more intricate relationships.

Skype => MS Teams
The technology from Skype is already used in MS Teams, but branding was separate.
On the other side, Skype was also to "proxy" to regular phone lines, that will likely be discontinued.
"Free" is not really free, someone needs to pay expenses.

But likely not much can be earned on Skype advertising to justify it...
