As companies scale, the technology supporting operations can become a liability just as quickly as it becomes an asset. Disconnected systems, site-specific tools, spreadsheets, and manual workarounds can create data silos that make it harder to spot problems early, coordinate responses, and make decisions with confidence. For Jabil, a global manufacturing company with more than…

Why “Behind the Scenes” Isn’t Optional in Machine Learning There’s a version of Machine Learning that treats models as interchangeable black boxes: Import the library. Call .fit() . Tune a few hyperparameters. Ship it. It works — until it doesn’t. When a model fails, the real question isn’t just “How do I fix it?” It’s “Why is it failing in the first place?” The engineers who can answer that question are the ones who understand what’s happening beneath the API. Not because knowing the internals is intellectually satisfying — although it is — but because that understanding is what separates applying a model from engineering one . Knowing that Gradient Descent exists is not the same as understanding why it becomes preferable to closed-form solutions as problems scale. Knowing that Softmax outputs sum to one is not the same as understanding why that alone doesn’t make its outputs true probabilities. Knowing what a technique does is useful. Understanding why it works, when it works, and what assumptions it depends on is what allows you to adapt it when the problem doesn’t look like the textbook example. And you can’t meaningfully customize something you don’t understand. That’s the idea behind #MLUnboxed — a series where I’ll break down Machine Learning and Statistics concepts, including many that are already well documented, but without stripping away the mechanics that make them work. The goal isn’t to reinvent established ideas. It’s to understand them deeply enough to use them intelligently. This series is for people who already know the “what” and are ready to spend more time with the “why.” If that sounds like you, let’s get into it.

Short answer: make the event identity durable, deduplicate at the consumer boundary, and resume from a server-issued cursor; a client-side set alone cannot make a marketplace chat room survive reconnects or an incident-response burst. The constraint is trust. A browser reconnects after a laptop sleeps, a mobile radio changes networks, or a tab is restored from the back-forward cache. It may replay its last request, lose an acknowledgement, or present an event twice. In an incident response dashboard, the same mechanics become dangerous at scale: an alert that appears twice can page two people, while a missing alert can hide the incident. I design the storage boundary first, because a pretty WebSocket demo does not answer either question. Start with an event identity that can outlive a connection Every published event needs an immutable identity scoped to the stream, not to a socket. For a marketplace chat room, I use (room_id, sequence) as the primary key and keep a globally unique event_id for tracing. The sequence is allocated by the room writer, so two reconnecting clients can compare progress without trusting wall-clock timestamps. The payload is deliberately boring. It includes the room, sequence, event ID, type, and data. A client can verify that an event belongs to the room it requested; it cannot mint a higher sequence or widen its token scope. That last rule matters more than transport choice. from dataclasses import dataclass from typing import Any @dataclass ( frozen = True ) class ChatEvent : room_id : str sequence : int event_id : str event_type : str data : dict [ str , Any ] def identity ( event : ChatEvent ) -> tuple [ str , int ]: """ The room sequence is the replay-safe identity. """ return event . room_id , event . sequence Do not use a payload hash as the only key. Two legitimate messages can have identical text, and a producer retry can produce different JSON ordering. Persist the identity and the payload together, with a uniqueness constraint,

Originally published on indiecore.net . I moved this site off a hosted blogging platform onto Cloudflare, with GitHub Actions doing the building and Cloudflare doing the serving. It costs nothing, deploys in about two and a half minutes, and refuses to publish anything that fails its checks. Getting there took longer than it should have. Here is the setup, and the five things that tripped me up — none of which are obvious from the documentation. The shape of it git push └─ GitHub Actions ├─ build generate the site ├─ verify dead links, missing images, bad metadata, broken redirects ├─ Lighthouse fail if performance/accessibility/SEO drop below budget └─ deploy upload to Cloudflare The important part is that deploy depends on the checks . A broken build never reaches the internet. Pull requests get a preview URL; merges to main go live. The triggers and permissions that make that safe: ci-cd.yml — triggers and permissions name : CI/CD # Build and verify every change; deploy previews for PRs and production from main. # Deploy jobs depend on the quality gates, so nothing ships unverified. on : push : branches : [ main ] # The SEO watch ledger is machine-written, is never part of dist/, and is # committed daily. Deploying the site again for it would be pure noise — and # would re-trigger the SEO ping through workflow_run every single day. paths-ignore : - ' _source/seo-watch.json' pull_request : branches : [ main ] workflow_dispatch : # Least privilege by default; individual jobs elevate only what they need. permissions : contents : read # Supersede in-flight runs for a branch, but never interrupt a production deploy. concurrency : group : ci-cd-${{ github.ref }} cancel-in-progress : ${{ github.ref != 'refs/heads/main' }} env : # wrangler ships as a pinned devDependency; never phone home from CI WRANGLER_SEND_METRICS : " false" permissions: contents: read at the top means every job starts with the minimum, and only the one that comments on pull requests gets more.

Episode 1: Was in einer ZST-Datei passiertEpisode 1: Was in einer ZST-Datei passiertZST-Dateien begegnen uns immer häufiger bei großen Downloads, Softwarepaketen, Backups und Serverdaten. Sie sind oft deutlich kleiner als die ursprünglichen Dateien und lassen sich trotzdem sehr schnell wieder entpacken. Doch wie funktioniert das? Warum werden Dateien komprimiert? Eine Datei besteht aus Daten. Je mehr Daten sie enthält, desto mehr Speicherplatz wird benötigt und desto länger dauert ihre Übertragung. Kompression versucht, dieselben Informationen mit weniger Daten darzustellen. Beim späteren Entpacken muss daraus wieder exakt die ursprüngliche Datei entstehen. Nach dem Entpacken ist die Datei Bit für Bit identisch mit dem Original. Es wird nichts weggelassen und nichts vereinfacht. Wiederholungen benötigen unnötig viel Platz Betrachten wir diesen Satz: Kleine Katzen kuscheln auf kleinen Kissen, junge Katzen kuscheln auf bunten Kissen und alte Katzen kuscheln auf weichen Kissen.Die folgenden Teile kommen mehrfach vor: A = Katzen kuscheln auf B = KissenWenn wir die wiederkehrenden Textteile durch die Variablen A und B ersetzen, können wir den Satz kürzer darstellen: Kleine A kleinen B, junge A bunten B und alte A weichen B.Damit ist der Text noch nicht vollständig. Zusätzlich müssen wir speichern, wofür A und B stehen: A = Katzen kuscheln auf B = KissenAus diesen Informationen lässt sich der ursprüngliche Satz wiederherstellen. Jedes A wird durch Katzen kuscheln auf und jedes B durch Kissen ersetzt. Das ist bereits die grundlegende Idee der verlustfreien Kompression: Wiederkehrende Daten werden nicht jedes Mal vollständig gespeichert. Stattdessen werden sie einmal gespeichert und anschließend durch kürzere Verweise ersetzt. ### Zstandard verwendet keine Variablen Unsere Variablen A und B dienen nur dazu, das Prinzip verständlich zu machen. Zstandard versteht weder Wörter noch Sätze. Es weiß nicht, was Katzen oder Kissen sind. Für das Programm besteht eine Datei lediglich
