The Power of Beliefs: How to Stop Surrendering Your Agency

When Serena Williams strode onto the Wimbledon grass, her legendary power was never in question. Her serve was crushing. Her backhand was unstoppable. But she wouldn't go to the net. She'd see a short ball, the kind that screams "approach," and she would hesitate to volley and miss the point. Serena was not playing at her full potential because of a story in her head.

How I Fixed a Critical Spark Production Performance Issue (and Cut Runtime by 70%)

"The job didn't fail. It just... never finished." That was the worst part. No errors.No stack traces.Just a Spark job running forever in production - blocking downstream pipelines, delaying reports, and waking up-on-call engineers at 2 AM. This is the story of how I diagnosed a real Spark performance issue in production and fixed it drastically, not by adding more machines - but by understanding Spark properly.

What's the most impactful first step to improve website speed when starting from scratch?

When building or optimizing a website from scratch, performance can easily be overlooked until problems start showing up-slow load times, poor user experience, and lower search rankings. There are many ways to improve website speed, such as image optimization, code minification, caching, choosing better hosting, or using a CDN.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Switch 2 Is A Good Port Of A Great RPG

I played the new version, out January 22, for around four hours, racing back through the early section of the game in time to meet back up with Aerith and stroll through some of the more taxing areas in the early game. I was struck by two things during my brief return to the slums of Midgar. The first was just how linear, focused, and cinematic the Final Fantasy VII Remake is compared to its sprawling successor, Rebirth.

How to remove Copilot AI from Windows 11 today

Toward that end, the company has been force-feeding more and more AI into Windows in the belief that everyone is yearning for an "agentic OS." Well, based on much of the user feedback, that's not quite the case. In fact, the more Microsoft keeps promoting AI as some white knight riding in to rescue Windows users, the more that people have been pushing back. The main argument?

Dependency resolution and wheel installation that used to take seconds or minutes now finish in the blink of an eye. One tool to rule them all uv replaces pip + venv + pip-tools + pipx + virtualenv + pyenv in a single binary. You get dependency resolution, lockfiles, virtual-environment management, isolated global tool installation, Python version management, and even script running - all through the same uv command.

For the purposes of this look at the game I replayed through the first two major sections: the tutorial mission with the assault on the Galactic Federation, and then the Fury Green portion on Viewros where Samus first starts to unlock her psychic abilities. Predictably, the Switch 1 version looks noticeably lower-quality than its Switch 2 counterpart, with less-detailed textures and lighting effects. It still looks decent, though, and compares favorably to the Metroid Prime Remaster that was released on Switch in 2023.

How to speed up long lists with TanStack Virtual - LogRocket Blog

When you are building a social feed, data grid, or chat UI, everything feels fine with 10 mock items. Then you connect a real API, render 50,000 rows with myList.map(...), and the browser locks up. The core problem is simple: you are asking the DOM to do too much work. Virtualization solves this by rendering only what the user can actually see. Instead of mounting 50,000 nodes, you render the 15-20 items that are visible in the viewport, plus a small buffer.
