``Frequently'' means thou shouldst draw thy daily guidance from it, rather than hoping thy code will achieve lint's blessing by a sudden act of repentance at the last minute. De-linting a program which has never been linted before is often a cleaning of the stables such as thou wouldst not wish on thy worst enemies…

.NET 7 is fast. Really fast. This post deep-dives into hundreds of performance improvements that contributed to that reality.
Our first generalist policy, π0, a prototype model that combines large-scale multi-task and multi-robot data collection with a new network architecture to enable the most capable and dexterous generalist robot policy to date.
Jonan: Welcome everyone. Today we are doing an interview to talk about new features coming in Ruby 3. I am here with my coworker, Sasada Koichi san....
February 9, 2021: Post updated with the current regional availability of container image support for AWS Lambda. With AWS Lambda, you upload your code and run it without thinking about servers. Many customers enjoy the way this works, but if you’ve invested in container tooling for your development workflows, it’s not…
A detailed look at how we replaced the most performance-sensitive portions of the source-map JavaScript Library’s source map parser with Rust code that is compiled to WebAssembly. The results: The ...
I take no pleasure in writing this blog post. In fact, even as I am writing these words I am internally torn on whether this is the right approach to addressing the problem on hand. Whether I’ve chosen the right approach remains to be seen, but regardless, I now feel it’s time to confront misconceptions about the…
After several years of development, complicated by the pandemic, disrupted supply chains, and war in Europe, we announced our new Original Prusa MK4 today. We began shipping the first units of the XL two weeks ago. There is an upcoming PrusaSlicer...
Go is a simple and fun language, but, like any other language, it has a few gotchas... Many of those gotchas are not entirely Go's fault. Some of these mistakes are natural traps if you are coming from another language....
Upgrading a security protocol in an ecosystem as complex as the Internet is difficult. You need to update clients and servers and make sure everything in between continues to work correctly. The Internet is in the middle of such an upgrade right now.
Learn more about what's happening within the tech and cybersecurity industry and the developments in our business and security keys within our Yubico Blog.
More about Red Hat's decision to make CentOS Stream the primary repository for RHEL sources.
Prepare for Chrome deprecating and removing XSLT from the browser.
Improving software memory safety is a key security objective for engineering teams across the industry. Here we begin a journey into the XNU kernel at the core of iOS and explore the intricate work our engineering teams have done to harden the memory allocator and make our software much more difficult to exploit.
Discover how Tailscale achieved over 10Gb/s throughput on Linux using advanced UDP segmentation and checksum optimizations. Explore benchmarks, results, and the innovations powering wireguard go's latest performance leap.

The WebTransport API offers low-latency, bidirectional, client-server messaging. Learn about its use cases, and how to give feedback about the future of the implementation.
We’re releasing gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—two state-of-the-art open-weight language models that deliver strong real-world performance at low cost. Available under the flexible Apache 2.0 license, these models outperform similarly sized open models on reasoning tasks, demonstrate strong tool use capabilities, and…
The KiCad development team frequently receives questions about our support for Wayland. Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are both planning to drop X11 support from their main desktop environments in the near future, we want to provide clear, transparent guidance to our users about the current state of Wayland support in…
Just as algebra is fundamental to the whole of mathematics, algebraic data types (ADTs) are fundamental to many common functional programming languages. They’re the primitives upon which all of our richer data structures are built, including everything from sets, maps, and queues, to bloom filters and neural networks .
YJIT’s ability to improve performance by adapting to run-time behavior can increase the speed of our code in a way that dropping down to C can’t. As such, I think we should reconsider the common wisdom that “rewriting our Ruby in C” is the ideal path to performance optimization and take a serious look at “rewriting…
WireGuard has undergone all sorts of formal verification, covering aspects of the cryptography, protocol, and implementation. Below details the various efforts.
