Comparing vendor quotes for a dedicated software development team is easy. Understanding what those quotes actually represent — and what they leave out — is a different challenge entirely. This episode of DEV.co unpacks the full total cost of ownership (TCO) for a dedicated dev pod in 2026, drawing on the 2026 dedicated dev team cost breakdown published by DEV.co, and gives listeners a framework for making a defensible, apples-to-apples comparison across every major staffing model.Here's

What if solving a difficult computing problem meant letting a physical system settle into a lower-energy state? We explore Ising machines, which translate choices and constraints into interacting spins and search for useful solutions. From optical oscillators and digital annealers to superconducting quantum hardware, discover the different ways researchers are putting this idea to work—and why mapping problems, escaping local minima, and scaling the hardware remain central challenges. Note:&...

Addition is one of the first mathematical operations children meet, but that doesn’t mean it’s simple.In this episode of AfterMaths, Jon and Becky take a closer look at what it really means to understand addition. They explore why knowing lots of different strategies matters, why column addition should be a tool rather than the destination, and why Jon has, somewhat inexplicably, developed a favourite addition calculation.There’s also some Wordle mathematics, new research into the importance of

Human development begins long before birth, and understanding the earliest stages is essential for the Praxis Psychology exam. In this episode, we break prenatal development into the germinal, embryonic, and fetal periods and explain what happens during each stage. We’ll also examine teratogens, critical periods, and the major physical and cognitive changes occurring during infancy and early childhood. Along the way, you’ll learn the distinctions most likely to appear in exam questions. By the end,

Can you trust Meta’s Muse with your email, calendar, and personal files? In this follow-up to our Muse episode, we unpack Meta’s published security architecture: an isolated agent workspace, credentials kept out of the model’s reach, and Sentinel checks that govern actions and outgoing data. We explore how these layers aim to contain prompt injection and keep users in control—and distinguish those protections from the separate privacy questions around Meta’s operational access, model-training...

The data we collect about ourselves can tell us a lot—but only if the technology collecting it actually fits into our lives. Daniel Epstein explores personal informatics, from fitness trackers and food journals to baby tracking and AI, and explains why abandoning a tracking tool doesn't necessarily mean it failed.

What is Googlebook, and how does it differ from a Chromebook? We explore Google’s vision for a premium laptop built around Android, Gemini AI, and closer connections between your phone and computer. From familiar apps and cross-device workflows to hardware security and the questions still facing a new platform, this episode unpacks what Googlebook is trying to change about everyday computing.

Cloudflare open-sourced a decision model that answers in under forty milliseconds, and four other companies released competing versions in the same week. OpenAI fired three safety researchers for talking to an outside safety group. Same week, opposite directions. We go through Cloudflare's faster agent sandboxes, a researcher's attempt at Claude-shaped science, Meta's new fee on AI shopping purchases, Starlink's hourly connection passes, a coding tool's shift to MCP, and Amazon's sharper vector

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death, in part because it is often detected too late. But deciding who should be screened is more complicated than it might seem. In this episode of UVA Data Points, Jeffrey Blume, interim Stephenson Dean of the University of Virginia School of Data Science, and Melinda Aldrich, a cancer epidemiologist at Vanderbilt University, explore how data science is helping researchers better understand lung

Multi-region database architecture is one of the most consequential decisions an engineering team can make — and PostgreSQL logical replication is increasingly the tool teams reach for to get it right. This episode of DEV.co walks through the full picture: how logical replication actually works under the hood, what a sound multi-region topology looks like, and where teams consistently stumble when moving from theory to production. The discussion is grounded in the deep-dive guide on

How does a giant planet form around a small star—and stay cooler than expected in a tight orbit? We explore HATS-6 b and the atmospheric clues revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope. From ammonia and other molecules to a possible reflective blanket of clouds or haze, this unusual gas giant offers a fresh test of our ideas about planet formation, atmospheric chemistry, and distant worlds.

A frontier model good enough to find security flaws, handed out with no guardrails to a trusted few. A business question where the SQL runs clean and the answer is still wrong. Same gap, different layer. We go through why Google is testing its most capable coding model unrestricted before deciding how to lock it down, why a semantic layer took one team's accuracy from twenty-one percent to ninety-five, and the one-word Postgres fix that turns a two-second query back into one that takes under a

For the 300th episode of the IDEMS Podcast, David and Kate discuss IDEMS’ first patent and the ideas behind it. They explore how rethinking some of the foundations of how technology is built could make it easier to reuse and adapt across different contexts, and how AI is creating new possibilities for technology that can respond to the needs and decisions of the people using it.

See It! Say It! Symbolize It! with Dr. Patrick Sullivan ROUNDING UP: SEASON 5 | EPISODE 3 Representations, language, and symbols are all important ingredients in building students' conceptual understanding and fluency. But how can we understand the relationship between those three ingredients? And what happens if we leave any one of them out of the recipe?  In this episode, we explore these questions with Dr. Patrick Sullivan, professor of mathematics at Missouri State University.
