Technology with judgment: what actually moves the needle, no passing fads.
The Spanish draft law transposing NIS2 is still in parliament in 2026, but the directive's technical obligations have applied since October 2024. Practical map: the ten minimum security measures, the 24-hour, 72-hour and one-month incident notification window, and the new supply-chain security obligations.
Kubernetes 1.35 GA consolidates three releases of work: native sidecars with full lifecycle management, generalised DRA for FPGAs and NPUs, and a scheduler that cuts resource waste by 15-25% in heterogeneous clusters. An operations-side balance sheet: what to enable now, what to watch before migrating, and what path to follow from 1.30.
NVIDIA still dominates frontier-model training in 2026, but inference tells a different story. AMD MI300X/MI325X with mature ROCm, Intel Gaudi 3, Google TPU v6, and AWS Trainium/Inferentia deliver 20 to 50% lower cost per token without sacrificing quality. Here is when to choose each option.
After the 2021 historic peak and the 2022 correction, startup funding in 2023 has been redefined: Series A rounds dropping from $15M to $8-10M, due diligence extending to 14 weeks, and metrics like the real Rule of 40 and NRR above 110% as the new minimum.
Kubernetes won the orchestration battle, but Docker Swarm stays maintained inside Docker Engine and makes real sense for small teams without dedicated SRE, self-hosted stacks on 1-5 VPS, and edge mini-clusters. In those contexts, Swarm's minimal learning curve and low operational cost outweigh Kubernetes's advanced features.
Ollama 0.5 or newer runs Llama 3.3 70B and Mistral Large 2 locally on Ubuntu 24.04: Q4_K_M quantization lets a single NVIDIA GPU with 24 GB of VRAM, an RTX 4090 for example, handle the full model. This guide installs the drivers, sets up Open WebUI, and exposes the service behind Traefik with TLS.
Two years after the final NIST standards, post-quantum migration is no longer hypothetical. What has actually been migrated, what remains stuck, where the real operational problems lie, and how the timelines look from April 2026.
Humanoid robotics left the trade-show floor for factory floors and warehouses during 2025 and 2026. Which companies have really deployed units, which tasks fit, what real costs look like, and where humans remain unbeatable.
NPUs stopped being an accessory and became the component that defines real performance in laptops, phones, and small servers. A practical look at the hardware that rules 2026, which workloads pay off, and where the traditional GPU still wins.
Four and a half years after Rust officially entered Linux 6.1, with real Apple GPU and NVMe drivers in production and several public conflicts between maintainers, it is time for a sober technical balance. What works, what still costs, and where the next phase is heading.
After the 2021-2022 cycle, most blockchain projects have vanished from the radar, leaving only the ones that deliver real value. An honest inventory of which use cases work, which failed, and where blockchain is still a sensible idea.
After a decade of grandiose headlines, quantum computing enters this cycle with more honest metrics, thousand-physical-qubit machines, and the first serious signs of error correction at scale. It pays to separate what already works from what remains research.
Neural processing units have stopped being a marketing label on Snapdragon, Apple Silicon and AMD Ryzen AI laptops. Here is what you can actually do from code today, which tools are mature, and when it pays off to target the NPU instead of the CPU or GPU.
Fly.io has spent years selling the idea that deploying an application across several regions should be almost as simple as pushing an image and writing one config line. After several real projects on the platform, here is an honest read on what it delivers, what is missing, and who it is worth choosing over more classic options.
Garnet es el servidor de caché abierto por Microsoft Research que habla el protocolo de Redis pero está escrito en .NET 8 con un núcleo de almacenamiento orientado a hardware moderno. Tras casi dos años en público, muestra números interesantes y una arquitectura que merece mirarse con calma, aunque el ecosistema Redis siga siendo más maduro.
Tras la adquisición por Microsoft en 2019, Citus vivió un limbo comercial que terminó con Microsoft abriendo el código completo en 2022. Tres años después, la extensión de particionado para Postgres ha madurado y ofrece una ruta práctica para escalar sin abandonar el motor que ya conoces. Un repaso honesto.
OSV-Scanner se ha convertido en una referencia silenciosa para escanear dependencias open source. Su valor no está en el escaneo en sí, que muchas herramientas ofrecen, sino en su conexión directa con OSV.dev como fuente de verdad. Un análisis de por qué esto importa más de lo que parece.
Unikernels were promised as the future of cloud deployment back in 2015, then faded into obscurity soon after. Ten years later, Unikraft has reached a stable release and reads like a more mature, more useful take on that same idea. A review of what has changed.
Kubernetes 1.34 ships with Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) graduating to stable, scheduler improvements, and CEL-based mutating admission policies that replace webhooks. A practical rundown of what is safe to upgrade now, what can wait, and what actually changes for teams running production clusters.
Six months after containerd 2.0 reached general availability there is enough real-world mileage to judge the migration from the 1.x branch in production. We cover what changes in the config file, what breaks on Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, and when planning the jump actually pays off.
Kubernetes 1.32 Penelope shipped in December and has been running in clusters for several months. It is a good time to look at which changes have aged well, which created extra work, and what lessons to carry into the jump to 1.33.
Rust entered the Linux kernel as an experiment in 2022. Three years on it has stable in-tree drivers, an increasingly polished internal API, and a first wave of contributors who treat the language as the default choice for new code.
Headscale es una reimplementación libre del plano de control de Tailscale. Con la versión 0.25 estable, es una opción sensata para mallas WireGuard privadas sin depender de la plataforma comercial. Cuento cómo, cuándo y dónde duele.
Deno 2.0 salió en octubre de 2024 con una apuesta clara: compatibilidad seria con npm, pnpm, package.json y node_modules, manteniendo la identidad del runtime. Medio año después, miramos qué ha supuesto para proyectos reales y dónde sigue cojeando.
