The Will of the Many started off feeling like a cross between the political setting of Red Rising and the magic system of The Fifth Season . The world felt big, but not particularly filled in — the author throws out place names and countries, and we meet characters from different corners of the now world-spanning Catenan Republic, but the places don’t feel particularly differentiated or deep. A map would have helped here, but maybe the ....

A tech blogger called Nemanja Trifunovic posted an enjoyable article called the History of the GEM Desktop Environment . It's a nice piece -- it's very good on the early history. It does, however, totally omit much of the later development. When Caldera released the source code, it also released the unfinished multitasking GEM/XM version . Another version was X/GEM on FlexOS [PDF], DR's multitasking RTOS line, and at lea....

On August 15th, 1971, President Nixon declared a 90-day freeze on wages, rents, and prices. The next day, the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) was charged with implementing the Freeze. OEP launched an administrative crash program, leveraging the expansive power of the federal government, and also took the risky step of developing novel software to facilitate coordination of hundreds of federal employees. Originally called the Emergenc....

I got a question from one of our users about how they can use RavenDB to manage scheduled tasks. Stuff like: “Send this email next Thursday” or “Cancel this reservation if the user didn’t pay within 30 minutes.” As you can tell from the context, this is both more straightforward and more complex than the “run this every 2nd Wednesday" you’ll typically encounter when talking about scheduled jobs. The answer for how to do that in RavenDB is....

In today’s AI hype you cannot miss the term “RAG,” which stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation.

I searched a lot of resources and AI-generated content for this fairly simple technique to be explained well. I’m still looking for […] The post RAG Demystified: From Math to Self-Hosted Code appeared first on RisingStack Engin..

We have all been there. Your software keeps growing and you feel the need to make it customizable. It is too soon for a full-blown UI with all the bells and whistles, so your pragmatic instinct suggests a text-based configuration file. Yes, that’s exactly it! You rejoice knowing the software’s configuration will be trivial to version control. Your pragmatic instinct is satisfied as well; the door remains open to creating a proper UI later, ..

On Sunday afternoon, I suddenly decided to take my motorcycle, ride to the foothills, leave the bike there, and hike the Monte Mauro loop, including the climb to the summit. The Monte Mauro loop is a classic route in the Vena del Gesso area. Wooded areas alternate with exposed stretches below the summit of Monte Mauro, where you literally walk on chalk outcrops. The trail is well marked, but you have to pay attention to the path because t..

It is tempting and forgivable to believe that we’re in control of our social media experiences. After all, we write what we want in our bio, select our avatars, and even come up with our own handles.

Let’s say that you are selling N widgets and you need to determine a price for your widgets. There are N customers, each of whom will buy at most one widget if your price is lower than the maximum price they are willing to pay. The maximum price that people will pay is normally distributed around $100, with a standard deviation of $5. In other words, about 34% have a max price between $95 and $100, another 34% have a max price between $10..
