Apparently MTA (the company running the NYC subway) has a real-time API. My fascination for the subway takes autistic proportions and so obviously I had to analyze some of the data. The documentation is somewhat terrible, but here’s some relevant code for how to use the API: from google.transit import gtfs_realtime_pb2. import urllib. for feed_id in [ 1 , 2 , 11 ]: feed = gtfs_realtime_pb2.

Change Starts Here

Positive reinforcement, in the form of praise and recognition, is a powerful way to influence change. We all like to be acknowledged for our efforts. Receiving praise boosts our confidence. It makes us feel accepted by others. It confirms we’re moving in the right direction and removes the ambiguity that so often accompanies change. As change agents, unfortunately it’s easy to forget when it’s our turn to dole out praise.

When dealing with time consuming, resource intensive tasks, most PHP developers are tempted to choose the "quick hack route". We've all used "ini_set('max_execution_time', HUGE_INT);" before, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In today's tutorial, PHP developer Daniel Gheorghe demonstrates how an application’s user experience may be improved by separating long-running tasks from the main request flow using Laravel.

“Discipline equals freedom.” This statement sounds like a contradiction because the word ‘discipline’ is most often used in the context of punishment or reining in improper behavior. In leadership, however, discipline creates power.

I’m in trouble now. I’m about to commit heresy. I want to address what I believe to be one of the most important aspects of your workplace leadership. In my work with thousands of business leaders across industries, geography, and over many years, I’ve repeatedly seen people lose their influence because they don’t address this one thing. In many leadership forums, many leadership books, and not a few social media memes, what I’m about to say would be skewered, and yet… your credibility and influ

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

HSA is a set of standards and specifications designed to allow further integration of CPUs and GPUs on the same bus. This is not an entirely new concept, but HSA takes it to the next level. HSA would effectively take the developer out of the equation, at least when it comes to assigning different loads to different processing cores. In this post, Toptal Technical Editor and resident chip geek Nermin Hajdarbegovic takes a closer look at HSA and the future of heterogeneous computing in general.

Rick Delgado. The debate over net neutrality is far from over. While the FCC’s ruling last year seemed to be the final say on the matter, the agency’s decision has only extended the discussion to other areas. To be clear, the ruling essentially settled multiple matters by officially classifying internet service providers as carriers now subject to certain rules under the Communications Act.

I’ve met and known a lot of people who’ve made piles of cash and feel like they have nothing to show for it. I mean, they have stuff. They have stuff to point at but not the stuff that really matters: passion, love, fulfillment, joy–you know what I mean. You don’t have to answer this question out loud, but… Are you one of those people?

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

If you’ve worked for any length of time, you’ve probably wondered, “Why is it so hard to find good leaders?” You’re not alone. Not only are employers finding it tricky to find qualified help, management & executive roles have become increasingly difficult to fill. These employers can only expect retirement to continue to raid the Baby Boomer portion of their leadership ranks.

We learn the most from that which challenges us the most. I remember having learned server side scripting many years back completely on my own. I had no special resources, no advanced tools and no external guidance – just a lot of willingness to pick up the skill. It wasn’t easy and that made it all the more interesting. But as we grow in our career and life, we avoid the discomfort involved in learning new things, which eventually slows down the process of learning.

Brigg Patten. If you have ever organized a corporate training event and been disappointed by overall attendee retention of information (reported in follow up surveys), you have probably scratched your head while considering options to improve that retention. It is a real problem: training events and seminars are short and sweet, designed to make efficient use of time and resources, but workers often walk out of them learning very little.

Contractors and other temporary workers are an integral part of today’s business structure. In many cases it’s easier and more cost-efficient to hire a contractor for a specific position for a period of time rather than take on a permanent employee, especially in government agencies. Providing access to applications and data for contractors can be particularly challenging for large organizations.
