The Ukrainian company behind MAUL — a robot that hits 70 km/h and survives flipping over — moves toward investment from an $81M US firm

Ukrainian firm AIDronesUA and Empery Digital Inc., a US-based entity, are in talks to invest in AIDronesUA's MAUL unmanned ground vehicle. MAUL is a casualty evacuation, logistics, and ammunition-delivery platform that can reach speeds of up to 70 km/h and continues to function after flipping over. The investment deal is not finalized yet, and both parties plan to conduct feasibility studies, financial modeling, and due diligence.

Empery Digital, valued at over $81 million, specializes in electric vehicles and digital assets. The potential partnership could grant AIDronesUA access to US investment, international manufacturing expertise, and global markets.

Unlocking the Power of Feature Flags

So, you shipped a new feature. Congrats! 🎉 Now the app's acting weird. Do you nuke the whole release? Nah. Enter feature flags. What Are Feature Flags?

  • Feature flags allow turning features on/off without new code deployment
  • Enable safe testing, A/B testing, gradual rollouts of changes
  • Store flags in code, DB, SaaS; customize by user, time, phases

Feature Flags in the Real World: Use Cases That Won't Get You Fired

Why do teams use feature flags? Because "move fast and break things" is only fun until you break prod. Feature flags let you move fast and break things slightly less dramatically.

  • Engineering teams use feature flags for controlled rollout of changes to select users.
  • Feature flags enable A/B testing and gathering user data for feature comparison.
  • Dark launches allow testing new code in production without user visibility.

The loudest attacks on our Next.js site were aimed at software it never ran

This is a case study of a small business website we designed and built. To see whether the design held up, we read its own edge logs over a 28-day window.

  • Website built with Next.js and Node.js targeted by malicious automated scans.
  • Attacks aimed at non-existent software components like WordPress and PHP panels.
  • /.env file containing sensitive data was not part of served filesystem.
