DevSecOps: Resolving Disagreements Between Developers and Security Teams
Conflicts and disputes can arise between these adjacent teams; it is impossible to avoid them in the process of launching new products. And they certainly require a solution.
No-Code AI: Platforms and Tools
In the 1990s, tools like Macromedia Dreamweaver made Web development accessible to all. Today, no-code tools aim to do the same for artificial intelligence.
A History of One Brute-Force Attack
A classic brute-force attack boils down to guessing credentials. In my scenario, though, the perpetrators acted somewhat differently.

Apple's Lockdown Mode provides serious security to individuals personally targeted by sophisticated attackers.
On the Ethics of Writing With AIs
AI-generated text, even if accepted from an ethical standpoint, raises questions about the provenance of the generated text.
Sampling Near Neighbors in Search for Fairness
We propose several efficient data structures for the exact and approximate variants of the fair near neighbor problem.
hXDP: Efficient Software Packet Processing on FPGA NICs
We present hXDP, a solution to run on FPGAs software packet processing tasks described with the eBPF technology and targeting the Linux's eXpress Data Path.
Technical Perspective: Can Data Structures Treat Us Fairly?
In "Sampling Near Neighbors in Search for Fairness," Aumüller et al. investigate a basic problem in similarity search called near neighbor in the context of fair data structures.
Technical Perspective: hXDP: Light and Efficient Packet Processing Offload
In "hXDP: Efficient Software Packet Processing on FPGA NICs," the authors offer an interesting solution to bridging the performance gap between the CPU and the home network.
