Sidekiq Unique Jobs: Three Ways to Avoid Duplicates

To avoid duplicate Sidekiq jobs, you have three options: guard enqueues yourself with database flags or a queue scan, use Sidekiq Enterprise’s unique_for option, or add the free sidekiq-unique-jobs gem, which locks jobs in Redis by class and arguments. On Sidekiq 8, sidekiq-unique-jobs 8 with lock: :until_executed covers most cases.

From AI chaos to agentic QA, ft. Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

10x faster coding. Same QA. Until now. You're coding faster with AI. But if your agents are siloed and disconnected, those gains aren’t yet showing up in your quality or delivery – it's getting lost in the handoffs. Join SmartBear for a live demonstration of the connected agentic SDLC. See how BearQ extends beyond creating tests to coordinating quality work across Jira, GitHub, and AI-powered workflows – detecting issues, triggering the right next action, and carrying context from one agent to the next.

Kong Context Mesh

Kong Context Mesh composes APIs, data, and documents into a single MCP interface that AI agents can call directly, with no custom harness or extra instructions. Built on Kong Konnect, it supports different authentication strategies and data structures, and avoids context window bloat through progressive disclosure and on-the-fly execution. Agents discover tools just in time and retrieve only the context needed for the task. The demo connects internal APIs and external MCP servers, then uses Claude Code to complete a multi-source task.

Why Did My Organic Traffic Drop? How to Find the Cause With AI and Your Semrush Data

Organic traffic usually drops for one of four reasons: a competitor took your rankings, keywords slipped out of the top 10, a technical issue appeared on your site, or you lost backlinks. Your SEO dashboard shows when the drop started. The reason sits in Semrush, split across Position Tracking, Organic Research, the backlink reports and the site audit. Finding it means opening four reports, exporting four files and lining them up against your traffic chart in a spreadsheet.

How To Remove The Watermark From An Image On iPhone And Android: Mobile Browser Guide

Most watermark removal used to require desktop software - Photoshop, GIMP, or a dedicated editing app installed on a computer. That's changed significantly. Browser-based AI tools now handle watermark removal directly from a phone, with results that match what desktop tools produce, and without any app installation or account signup. This guide covers how watermark removal works on mobile, what to expect from different watermark types, and the practical workflow for iPhone and Android users.

Real Estate Data Integration: How Property Managers Can Connect PMS, ERP, CRM, and Other Systems

A tenant gives notice. The property management system (PMS) records the lease change, but the website may continue to show the unit as unavailable until its next update. Maintenance may receive the turnover request by email, while finance adjusts the ledger during month-end reconciliation. These gaps can reflect missing connections, delayed synchronization, or differences in how systems process and interpret updates.

Why did MRR drop? Find the cause in Stripe with AI (Databox Stripe MCP connector)

Why did MRR drop this month? Connect Stripe to Genie, the Databox AI Analyst, with the Stripe MCP connector and ask. Genie checks the MRR metric in Databox, then reads the subscriptions, invoices and payments in Stripe. In this demo, two canceled subscriptions and three failed payments explain the whole 3.9% drop, and $2,900 of it is still recoverable. In this video: Chapters.

Backpressure in AI streaming: change how tokens move, keep each response one message

Backpressure in AI streaming can build anywhere from inference to the client, but delivery is where handling it can change the response itself. The three usual approaches there (buffering, batching, and rewriting a stored record) can change how the response is stored, or what storing it costs. Anyone who joins mid-answer then gets fragments to stitch together, or your database pays for a full write at every flush.

Tricentis Labs: Evaluating and Scoring AI Agents with Agent Score

Agents are easy to build and hard to measure. When your company runs hundreds or thousands of them, hand-written evals can’t keep up, and it’s unclear which agents are correct, efficient, and ready for users. In this conversation, Ryan Yackel, SVP of Product Marketing, and Andrew Demers, Product Manager for Agent Score at Tricentis Labs, explain how to measure agent quality, score agents automatically, and trace issues back to behavior.
