It is given that Istio is a bit resource intensive due to sidecar proxy. Although there are a lot of compelling security features that can be used, the whole Istio (the sidecar) has to be deployed from day one. Recently, the Istio community has reimagined a new data plane — ambient mode — which will be far less resource-intensive. Istio ambient mesh is a modified and sidecar-less data plane developed for enterprises that want to deploy mTLS and other security features first and deploy an advanced network later.
Have you ever stood in the slide projector’s glow and pitched furrowed-brow executives a change that could swing millions in revenue? Or flip the mission of hundreds of employees?
Shane and his data team navigated journalistic, product, and business interests to fine-tune the New York Times pay model. This highwire act helped transition The Gray Lady from an ad revenue to a subscriber-driven publication.
Classloaders are an essential part of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), but many developers consider them to be mysterious. This article aims to demystify the subject by providing a basic understanding of how class loading works in the JVM.
What Are Classloaders
In the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), classes are loaded dynamically and found through a process called class loading. Class loading is the process of loading a class from its binary representation (usually a .class file) into memory so that it can be executed by the JVM. This is where we need classloaders. Class loaders are used to load .class files into the memory.
In today's data-driven world, effectively managing and processing large volumes of data is crucial for organizations to maintain a competitive edge. As systems become more complex and interconnected, developers must grapple with an array of challenges, such as data migrations, data backfilling, generating analytical reports, etc.
In this article, we will explore a simple yet effective Java-based implementation of a task executor service. We will discuss the key components of the service, examine some advantages of this approach, and provide insights to help developers make informed decisions when implementing a task executor service for their own projects.
AINRO.IO's ChatGPT website chatbot, AI Expert System, and AI Website Search are based on scraping your website. The technique is actually quite simple. However, how can we end up having so much higher quality than most others?
What we do is really simple. We scrape your website, and then we store your website's text as context snippets in a database. When users ask a question to our ChatGPT website chatbot, we use OpenAI's embedding API to look for the most relevant context snippets and attach this as a "context" to the question before we send the question to ChatGPT. This allows OpenAI to return an answer to your question using the supplied context as the foundation for the answer. Fundamentally you could argue the following.
Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to authenticate two parties and secure their communication in the network. mTLS protocol is an extension of TLS protocol where both the parties- web client and web server- are authenticated. The primary aim of mTLS is to achieve the following:
Including animated content on your website can be a fantastic way to keep visitors engaged. However, large GIF files can slow down your site and negatively impact the user experience. So, you might be wondering how to use video formats for animated content in WordPress.
The world is in flux. The pandemic has waned, but the definitive trails it left behind still shape the contours of our day-to-day life. The war in Europe promises to prolong. The heat wave is beginning to show its ugly fangs in Europe while California and Alabama in the USA brace for more climatic impacts. Amongst all this, the banking sector in the USA, under the weight of the rising interest rates and poor commercial real estate market (an offshoot of the pandemic), has shown its brittle side. Understandably, in a world as chaotic as this, the CIOs and CTOs of modern-day enterprises want to operate as thriftily as possible, balancing the see-saw between digital transformation and cost savings judiciously.
Many transformation programs are either delayed or stayed in favor of more pressing, low-hanging initiatives that can help save some urgent mullah for the enterprises. Many enterprises are also brainstorming what should be their approach toward digital transformation going forward. It is in this context that the five transformation forces detailed out below could serve as a guiding light for enterprises to cherry-pick their digital transformation initiatives, thus, not only helping them invest prudently but also enabling and positioning them well to emerge successfully as an Enterprise of the Future.

Documentum was originally developed by Documentum, Inc. and was later acquired by EMC Corporation, which was, in turn, acquired by Dell Technologies. Below are some of the benefits of migrating FileNet into Documentum.
Dither is an intentionally applied form of noise used to randomize quantization error, preventing large-scale patterns such as color banding in images.
In the web world, I typically think of it as associated with “indexed colors” images like PNG and GIF can do. For example, if you Save for Web from Adobe Photoshop as a PNG or GIF, you can whack down the colors super low and see some cool dithering.
Here are the three dithering choices my copy of Photoshop has:
“Noise” — 11.1K
“Pattern” — 6.8K
“Dithering” — 7.7K
They are all kinda cool looking if you ask me. More relevant, they made the image smaller in size and require less colors to display. Meaning their aesthetic is like “old-school computing” or “retro video games”.
Acorn, a much more economically friendly image editor, can also dither:
Can you do it right on the web, though? Darn tooting. Well, you can replicate the aesthetic anyway, since you can read images, and we’ve always got tools like <canvas> to play with.
Andrew Stephens made a Web Component that does exactly that. You pass it an image, it reads it and does cool dithering magic, and outputs it onto a canvas for you. He wrote it up in a quick blog post Improved Web Component for Pixel-Accurate Atkinson Dithered Images where he outlines some improvements to this latest version of the component.
I snagged the code and chucked a copy of the web component JavaScript onto our Asset Hosting so I could make a Pen with it. I did have to make a few changes. I had to make the Web Worker inline instead of referencing another file. Then I had to make sure to set img.crossOrigin = "Anonymous"; so I could reference an assets-hosted image as well. You don’t have to do those things if you’re working with all relative paths locally.
Refresh the page for a randomly generated busted-up old castle thing. With the random flags and glyphs and icons and stuff I feel like it’s for something specific, but damned if I know what it is.
Speaking of very specific nerdy pursuits, I enjoyed reading Philip Walton’s very custom pursuit of improving LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) in unknown situations. The blog post is Dynamic LCP Priority: Learning from Past Visits.
The overall concept is fairly simple.
One element on the page is responsible. That’s the LCP.
You have no idea what element that is on a dynamic site.
If you did know what it was, you could improve your LCP score by using the fetchpriority attribute on that element (if it’s, say, an image). This can be used to make the browser prioritize loading and rendering that element, improving LCP.
You can’t just use fetchpriority willy nilly, because if you’re wrong, you could actually harm LCP.
You can actually figure out what the LCP element is… after the page has loaded.
That’s too late to be useful, but if you save that information, you could pluck it out of storage and use it to put that fetchpriority on the right element for every different page of your site.
Phew. That’s friggin complicated. Not exactly the lowest-hanging web performance fruit. But it’s cool and nerdy and if you’re chasing the best possible numbers, it can go in the toolbox.
