Hello, my fellow villagers!

Did you know there is a project called ProSense?
It's funded by European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7),
and it's aim is to raise the level of research potential of researchers from WBC
(Western Balkan Countries), particularly ones from FYRO Macedonia and Serbia
with help from the EU academic institutions and companies.

The project coordinator is Dr. Srdjan Krčo (Ericsson Ireland Research Centre).
Other partners are:
  • Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, Macedonia
  • INRIA, France
  • University of Birmingham, UK
  • Warsaw University of Technology, Poland
  • CTI, Patras, Greece
  • University of Belgrade, Serbia
  • Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia

The project motto is:
"Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate
Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers:
Towards Pervasive Networking of West Balkan Countries and the EU"

The project started a year ago and it should end in March 2010.

I work as a part-time researcher at the School of Electrical Engineering (ETF),
University of Belgrade, Serbia. The team that I am part of has to design two WSN use-cases
- two Personal Health applications. Also, we have to establish a course and a laboratory for WSN at ETF.
We have several SunSPOT, Shimmer and Sensinode Development Kits to play with (since few weeks).

That's it for an introduction, now go on and browse our site and get back with comments!

Marko, I noticed the sensor project ProSense has ended, or has it? I have worked with sensors including the SunSPOT. There's a lot of talk from some corners about SunSPOTs. What are a few of the most outstanding things you've learned so far? Best, Michael

Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Article: Two Misconfigurations That Caused Spark OOM Failures on Kubernetes

After migrating Spark pipelines to Azure Kubernetes Service, two infrastructure settings interacted destructively: spark.kubernetes.local.dirs.tmpfs=true backed shuffle spill with RAM instead of disk, and a hard podAffinity rule forced all executors onto one node. Together, they caused repeated OOM kills invisible to standard diagnostics.

Node.js Moves to One Major Release Per Year, Starting with Node 27

Node.js will change its release schedule starting with version 27 in October 2026, moving from two major releases per year to one. All releases will become Long-Term Support (LTS), removing the distinction between odd and even versions. An Alpha channel for early testing will also be introduced. This decision addresses maintenance challenges and aims to align with user needs.
