Improve warmup time by making method-execution profiles from a previous run of an application instantly available, when the HotSpot Java Virtual Machine starts. This will enable the JIT compiler to generate native code immediately upon application startup, rather than having to wait for profiles to be collected.
The table below and notes which follow are a comparison of some of the different standard library implementations available for Linux, with a particular focus on the balance between feature-richness and bloat. I have tried to be fair and objective, but as I am the author of musl , that may have influenced my choice of…
How do demosceners create complex computer animations in just a few kilobytes? One of our secret weapons is Shader Minifier, a tool that minifies GLSL code. Over the years, it has evolved to pack more data into tiny executables, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. In this blog post, we'll go through its…
In Lorena's latest instalment, learn about the foundations of Elixir's power and reliability with the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM).
To provide a secure and dependable experience on GitHub, we’re rolling out updates to rate limits for requests made without authentication. These changes will apply to operations like cloning repositories…
See how we slashed PyPI’s test suite runtime from 163 to 30 seconds. The techniques we share can help you dramatically improve your own project’s testing performance without sacrificing coverage.

Explore the new Gemini 2.5 Pro I/O Edition, featuring enhanced coding performance, video to code capabilities, and improvements for front-end web development.
Go applications can implement graceful shutdown by handling termination signals (SIGTERM, SIGINT) via os/signal or signal.NotifyContext. Shutdown must complete within a specified timeout (e.g., Kubernetes’ terminationGracePeriodSeconds)…
A look at how and why we migrated from Next.js to Ruby on Rails.
A deeper dive on our findings, what went wrong, and future changes we’re making.

Microsoft continues to add to the conversation by unveiling its newest models, Phi-4-reasoning, Phi-4-reasoning-plus, and Phi-4-mini-reasoning. Learn more.
The Rust programming language, with its safety guarantees, has established itself as a viable choice for low-level systems programming language over the traditional, unsafe alternatives like C/C++. These guarantees come from a strong ownership-based type system, as well as primitive support for features like closures…
The open-source LLM combines the sequence-modeling skill of a transformer with the inferencing speed of an SSM. IBM Granite will soon adopt key Bamba features.
Why we moved Architect of Ruin from Rust and Bevy to C# and Unity in January 2025, and how the three-day experiment that decided it went.
