Introduction Website hosting has been greatly improved through the use of cloud computing. This has made it easier for individuals as well as businesses to access, scale, and use hosting services at a reasonable price. One of the easiest and most efficient methods that developers may use to host a static site on Microsoft Azure is the Static Website Hosting option offered by Azure Blob Storage, which allows developers to upload their static files without the need for a traditional web or virtual server (i.e., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and media files). In this project, I will download a free static website template from Tooplate, customize the downloaded version using Visual Studio Code (VS Code), and then deploy the new version to Azure Blob Storage for public viewing. This will involve editing all content, images, styles, and branding so that the template reflects how I want it to look when it is completed. To develop my own static website using Azure Blob Storage, I will first navigate to Tooplate and browse the templates available for modification (or further development). After deciding which template is most suitable, I will download the ZIP package of the template and extract it onto my local computer's disk drive. Then, I will open the ZIP file's contents using VS Code to customize all aspects of the website prior to publishing. After customizing the template, we will create an Azure storage account, enable Static Website Hosting, upload the customized/static website files to the Azure Blob Storage $web container, and then publish the created static website into the cloud. Project Objectives .Download a free static website template from Tooplate. .Go to VS code and edit the downloaded template from there .Create a Resources Group .Create an Azure Storage Account. .Enable Azure Static Website Hosting. .Upload website files to Azure Blob Storage. .Deploy and access the website through Azure's public endpoint. .Document the deployment process.

I build RESTful APIs for a living. I've designed event-driven architectures, set up CI/CD pipelines, containerized applications on Azure, mentored junior developers. 7 years of this. Then I opened LeetCode and stared at a medium problem for 45 minutes and closed the tab. Working as a backend engineer for this long means you just never touch advanced DSA. My day to day is .NET, Azure, SQL, clean architecture. EF Core handles the data layer, Azure handles the scaling. I haven't needed to implement a graph traversal or think about tree balancing since university. So when I decided to start interviewing at bigger companies I figured I just needed a quick refresher. I studied this stuff in college. It would come back. It didn't. 7 years is a long time and most of it was gone. What I Tried I went through the usual options. LeetCode grinding. Jumping into random problems with no structure just kept reminding me how much I'd forgotten without actually helping me relearn any of it. YouTube. Watched hours of Abdul Bari, freeCodeCamp, various bootcamp videos. I'd finish a video convinced I understood it, then open my editor and draw a complete blank. Watching someone solve a problem and solving it yourself are not the same thing at all. Books. CLRS is great if your fundamentals are still intact. Mine weren't. None of these were bad resources. The problem was I kept jumping between them with no thread connecting them. A video here, a problem there, a random chapter somewhere else. After years away from this stuff I needed to go back to basics and build up properly, and nothing was set up for that. What Actually Helped Eventually I just mapped out what a proper learning order looked like and started going through it myself. Big O → Arrays → HashMaps → Linked Lists → Stacks & Queues → Recursion → Trees → Graphs → Dynamic Programming For me, order mattered. Going back to Big O first made Arrays click properly. Arrays made HashMaps make sense again. I couldn't get Trees to stick un

LinkedIn’s Karthik Ramgopal and Prince Valluri discuss leveraging AI as a new execution model for large-scale engineering. They explain how to move beyond fragmented implementations by building platform abstractions for orchestration, structured context, and safe tooling like MCP.

The MacBook Neo is Apple's cheapest laptop, its most colorful, and its easiest to repair in years. That means owners can buy replacement parts in all four of its available colors and swap them in on their own. So that got us thinking: What if we bought a Neo just to see how funky we […]

Netflix has shared details about Service Topology. This internal system creates and updates a live dependency graph for thousands of microservices. It helps engineers see how services connect and resolve issues more quickly. The system merges three separate data sources into a single, queryable graph. It updates almost in real-time as traffic patterns shift. By Claudio Masolo

Arm CPU cores, a powerful GPU and gobs of unified RAM? That sounds familiar!

Back in 2002, Porsche fans sputtered with rage as the Cayenne made its debut at the Paris Motor. More than 20 years later, Porsche now sells more SUVs than anything else in its lineup. Last year, the Macan and Cayenne accounted for 62 percent of all Porsche sales. Now, these SUVs are trolling traditionalists in […]

“Why wouldn’t you want to be in both Pepsi and Coke?” says one venture capitalist. “It’s the same here.”

From battery life to privacy, there are many hurdles to the idea taking off.

Over the past few months I’ve been building VoiceIntego, an AI voice agent that answers calls and books appointments for service businesses (dental clinics, HVAC, plumbing). Here are some of the technical lessons that surprised me along the way. Latency is the whole game With text chatbots, a 2-second delay is fine. On a phone call, anything over ~800ms feels broken — people start talking over the AI. The hard part isn’t the LLM response; it’s the round trip: speech-to-text → LLM → text-to-speech, all streaming. You have to stream every stage and start TTS before the full response is generated. Interruptions break naive pipelines Real callers interrupt. “Actually, can we do Tuesday instead—” mid-sentence. A simple request/response loop can’t handle this. You need barge-in detection: monitor the incoming audio stream and cancel the current TTS playback the moment the caller starts speaking again. Booking logic needs guardrails, not vibes Letting the LLM “decide” availability is a recipe for double-bookings. The reliable pattern: the LLM extracts intent (date, time, service), then deterministic code checks the actual calendar API and confirms. The model handles language; your code handles truth. Confirmation loops matter more than you’d think Always read the booking back: “So that’s a cleaning on Tuesday the 9th at 2pm — correct?” Phone audio is noisy and names/times get misheard constantly. One extra confirmation turn cuts errors dramatically. Phone numbers and edge cases everywhere Voicemail detection, callers who mumble, background noise, people who say “yeah” to mean no. The happy path is maybe 20% of the work. If you’re building something in this space, happy to compare notes. You can see what I’m working on at VoiceIntego .

TL;DR Reconciliation is the part of a payments stack nobody architects for on day one and everyone pays for on day 200. The job: prove that every internal transaction matches the acquirer's settlement file, in the right currency, with the right fees, on the right value date — or surface the diff fast. The mechanics: normalize files → land into an events table → project to a read model → diff against the internal read model → buckets for ops to resolve. The boring details (file formats, fee parsing, FX rounding, value dates) are where 90% of the work lives. If you've ever opened a CSV from an acquirer at the end of the month, sorted by amount, and tried to "just match it in Excel" — yes, this post is for you. What "reconciled" actually means A transaction is reconciled when, for the same logical payment, three views agree: What you sent — your internal record of the charge/payout (your read model). What the acquirer says happened — their settlement file or API report. What the bank actually credited / debited — the bank statement. Disagreements are normal. Persistent disagreements are how you lose money slowly and never know. The shape of a settlement file Across the major acquirers, settlement files look broadly similar — and broadly different in the places that matter: Field Variants you'll see Transaction reference acquirer's transaction_id , sometimes plus a merchant_reference round-tripped from you Gross amount minor units / decimal; transaction currency vs settlement currency Fees inline per-row, or aggregated at the file footer, or in a separate fees file FX inline rate vs separate FX file; sometimes only the converted amount Value date when the bank actually moves money — often T+1/T+2 from event date Adjustments refunds, chargebacks, fee corrections, reserves — usually mixed in Encoding UTF-8 if you're lucky; CP1252 / fixed-width / SWIFT MT940 if you're not Granularity one row per transaction or daily aggregates per merchant or both There's no industry-clean

The test hung for 30 seconds. The response had already fired. One moved line fixed it. The test hung for 30 seconds, then timed out. The browser had received the response. The page had loaded. The data was there. The test was still waiting. The wizard I was writing a helper to walk through a 4-step booking wizard. After clicking "Next" on step 1, the page does a full navigation — window.location.href to step 2. Step 2 immediately loads doctor data from the API. The helper looked like this: await Promise . all ([ page . waitForURL ( /step=2/ ), step1Next . click ()]); await page . waitForResponse ( r => r . url (). includes ( ' /doctors ' )); Standard pattern: wait for navigation, then wait for the data request. Timeout. Every time. What I checked first The URL pattern. Maybe /doctors wasn't matching. Opened the network tab. The request was there: GET /api/v1/doctors , 200, 47ms. Correct URL, correct response. The page looked fine. The data was rendered. The test said it was waiting for a response that had already happened. Added waitForLoadState . Still hung. Added an explicit waitForSelector for an element that was clearly on the page. That passed. Then waitForResponse hung again. The response existed. The test couldn't see it. What was actually happening page.waitForResponse() is not a query. It doesn't look at what happened. It registers a listener — from that exact moment forward — and waits for the next matching response. The sequence in my code: Promise.all resolves when the URL changes to step=2 By the time the URL changed, step 2 had already loaded Step 2 had already sent and received /api/v1/doctors Then waitForResponse registered its listener Now it's waiting for the next /doctors response Which never comes Playwright doesn't buffer missed events. If the response fired before the listener was registered — it's gone. The fix await Promise . all ([ page . waitForURL ( /step=2/ ), page . waitForResponse ( r => r . url (). includes ( ' /doctors ' )), step1Next
