Apache Spark is a foundational layer underlying many data platforms.
One of its "selling points" is "Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on petabyte-scale data without having to resort to downsampling" (see detailed post on downsampling).
Programming is Not Rocket Science, Don't let AI Write Your Code (or Essays), Fight Back. If you must use AI, find provenance, and Attribute. GNU/Linux never loses relevance. AI makes it more powerful. C++ is Back.

The Qwen series of models comes from Alibaba Cloud. The Qwen 3.5 models, released in early 2026, has set new records for sub 2B models. It is much smaller than gpt-oss.
WebAssembly is a type of code designed to run in modern web browsers. It is designed to run alongside JavaScript using WebAssembly JavaScript APIs - creating an option for performance critical functionality.
As WebAssembly increases the browser's attack surface, so browsers contain WASM inside the browser's sandbox and restricts system access.
A risk maybe breaking out of the sandbox. Adobe Flash was a product sandboxed after a bunch of exploits, and after sandboxing exploits still occurred.
Transmission of WASM does not require TLS, HSTS or any other transport layer security mechanism making it susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Integrity checking is also impossible as WASM modules need not be signed by the author.
Some security-focused browser configurations can block WASM.
UTM is something you may come across first in URLs.
UTM refers to Urchin Tracking Module, named after Urchin, the firm Google acquired in 2005 to form the basis for Google Analytics.
