I've trained the same neural network by changing only the optimizers and got some really interesting results. Same Model, Same Data, Varying Optimizers: What Actually Changes? Check it out in my latest blog below: https://medium.com/p/498c4a37748c...

BTOP++: The Resource Monitor I Didn’t Know I Needed Introduction The year has just begun, the holidays are over, and it’s time to get back to building things. There’s been a lot of talk about 2026 being “the year of Linux” — Steam even kicked off...

In the world of high-performance computing, we often obsess over Big O notation and algorithmic complexity. We optimize our loops, we thread our logic, and we pat ourselves on the back. I thought I knew performance. I thought I was writing efficient ...

In software architecture, optimization without measurement is just guessing. I am currently in the process of a major refactor for my C# Finite State Machine API FSMAPI. We discovered some concurrency friction in the underlying dictionary lookups an...

I prefer the clean code that is more often produced by throwing exceptions. With the happy path uncluttered by error handling, the implicit propagation of errors to appropriate orchestration layers, and the clean separation of concerns. It's aestheti...

Most developers wait until performance becomes a problem before doing anything about it. By then, you're firefighting instead of building. Here are the optimizations you should implement from day one - they cost almost nothing upfront but save you fr...

Small batches, often ignored in the quest for speed, can help organizations respond to new conditions or knowledge and change course. While the heavyweight era of software delivery made the mistake of placing far too much value on activity, the agil...

The Pagination Pitfall: A React + Spring Boot Cautionary Tale The Setup: "It’ll Be Fine..." A few years ago, I was working on a dashboard application with a React frontend and a Spring Boot backend. The task seemed simple: display a list of users...

One of the courses I found quite interesting in my CS education is Computer Performance Systems Evaluation. It is largely concerned with the measurement of systems metrics, one of which is CPU utilization. But honestly, it's about the bigger picture,...

Introduction Bash scripting is one of the most powerful tools in any developer’s or system administrator’s toolbox. But it doesn’t have to be intimidating! In this guide, you'll learn how to write your first interactive Bash script—one that asks f...

Performance testing is critical to ensuring that applications can handle load and stress under realistic usage scenarios. However, the performance of the performance testing tool and scripts themselves is equally important. Poorly optimized JMeter sc...

Python has seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years. This is because of its simple syntax, a vast range of third-party libraries, and a great community. Python is a powerful language for trending technologies like Artificial intelligence, m...

The Mobile Performance Inequality Gap Setting the Benchmarks Alex Russel, a lead performance developer at Google is a firm believer in “an internet for everyone”. He highlights this in a poignant Chrome Dev Summit talk in 2016https://www.youtube.co...
