Terrastruct's AutoLayout Algorithm (TALA) is now open-source under MPL-2.0; it's an orthogonal layout engine for software-architecture diagrams that emphasizes aesthetic objectives (symmetry, clustering, flow), supports fixed or partial node positioning, and is bundled in D2 v0.9.0. The algorithm trades deterministic stability and DAG-oriented layouts for more whiteboard-like arrangements, uses randomized seeds, and can scale nonlinearly on large diagrams (benchmarks linked).
CipherCue measured CDNs for 44,143 tracked European companies and found 89.6% of those using a CDN sit behind Cloudflare (country shares range ~79%–95.6%), highlighting high market concentration and the systemic outage risk when a single front-door provider has incidents. The analysis is based on HTTP/DNS fingerprinting of a cohort skewed to small/mid companies, detects CDNs via response headers (with caveats such as CloudFront/AWS ambiguity), and is not a representative sample of all firms.
Broadcom has removed public downloads of VMware’s Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK), disrupting agentless migration and backup tools used by Microsoft Azure Migrate, Red Hat, Nutanix and others; vendors have updated guidance and customers report Broadcom support confirmed the change while alternatives and workarounds are being investigated.
An interactive timelapse map that visualizes every extant building in Los Angeles County as a box that appears in the year it was built (1880–2026), showing only surviving structures and omitting demolished buildings. It effectively illustrates the county’s growth and built environment over time.
