Dolphin started out as a GameCube emulator in 2003. In 2008, experimental Wii support was added. And now, in 2026, Dolphin enters the realm of arcade emulation with support for the Sega, Namco, and Nintendo arcade effort, the Triforce, finally arriving. Want to learn more about the Triforce? Check out our deep dive…
We build a computer inside a transformer — executing arbitrary C programs for millions of steps with exponentially faster inference via 2D attention heads.
Quint - Executable specs for reliable systems
We find that roughly half of test-passing SWE-bench Verified PRs written by recent AI agents would not be merged into main by repo maintainers. A naive interpretation of benchmark scores may lead one to overestimate how useful agents are without more elicitation or human feedback.
How Go 1.26's source-level inliner works, and how it can help you with self-service API migrations.
JavaScript's Date object has been a source of bugs for three decades. Temporal, which just reached Stage 4, is a modern replacement with immutable types, first-class time zone and calendar support, and nanosecond precision. This is the story of how Bloomberg, Igalia, and the TC39 community spent nine years turning…
This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C++, and immediately enabled many new kinds of…

One of the simplest tests you can run on a database:
Today we are excited to announce the Release Candidate (RC) of TypeScript 6.0! To get started using the RC, you can get it through npm with the following
Rust struct serialization problem caused by many nullable SQL columns.
What makes BEAM and OTP different from async/await, threads, and actors. Process isolation, supervisors, and why Erlang's model keeps winning 40 years later.
How Replit turns any web page into a deterministic video by virtualizing time itself, patching key browser audio APIs, and waging war against headless Chrome's quirks.
Neural networks are increasingly deployed through software stacks whose behavior is defined by tensor layouts, preprocessing choices, compiler boundaries, floating-point arithmetic, GPU kernels, and external model exporters. TorchLean is a Lean 4 codebase for neural network specification, execution, and verification…
The Web streams API has become ubiquitous in JavaScript runtimes but was designed for a different era. Here's what a modern streaming API could (should?) look like.
Benchmarking and Ground Control for developer tool providers. Understand agent choices and test what helps them succeed.
Google spent over a decade telling developers that Google API keys (like those used in Maps, Firebase, etc.) are not secrets. But that's no longer true.
AI agent misbehavior isn't a sandbox problem—it's a permissions problem.
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out updates for Notepad and Paint apps to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11. Notepad (version 11.2512.10.0) In this update, we’re introduci
_posted by Stephen De Gabrielle and John Clements_ We are pleased to announce Racket v9.1 is now available from https://download.racket-lang.org/. As of this release:: Documentation organization and navigation can be specialized by language family, to...
We trained a model on our 11-million-hour video dataset. Our model can explore complex websites, complete multi-action CAD modeling sequences, and drive a car in the real world, all at 30 FPS.
We're adopting Rust as our C++ successor language, and using AI agents to accelerate the transition.
What are database transactions and how do SQL databases isolate one transaction from another?
Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents, responsible for more than a thousand pull requests merged each week. Though humans review the code, minions write it from start to finish. Learn how they work, and how we built them.
Modern browsers support reactive web interfaces without React, Vue, or Angular. Web components and shadow DOM make frameworks optional.
Analysis of millions of human-agent interactions shows agent turns getting longer, with software engineering making up nearly half of tool calls.
Using Oban to seamlessly exchange durable jobs between Elixir and Python applications through a shared PostgreSQL database.
Two years in the making: Electrobun hits v1 with first-class macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu builds, tiny differential updates, and a framework that finally feels built for modern desktop apps.
If you compile your app for AVX2 and it runs on Windows ARM under Prism emulation, is it faster or slower than compiling for SSE2-4.x? I assumed it would be roughly the same — maybe slightly slower due to emulation overhead, but AVX2's wider operations would compensate. The
Wherein we make progress towards solving one of the most vexing problems of Computer Science — naming things.
