You can access data from deleted forks, deleted repositories and even private repositories on GitHub. And it is available forever. This is known by GitHub, and intentionally designed that way.
In the first half of 2024, Ruby LSP has seen significant enhancements, particularly in the area of code navigation, thanks to the advancement of its indexer. In this post, we’ll dive into the major code navigation enhancements that have been made to Ruby LSP. We’ll also touch on some experimental features that are on…
In my last post I've described how to use Z3 to find simple local peephole optimization patterns for the integer operations in PyPy's JIT. An example is int_and(x, 0) -> 0. In this post I want to scal

Leverage LLMs with context like code structure, libraries, and screenshots to streamline code conversion tasks and accelerate development.
We respond to Pinecone's recent blog post comparing Postgres and Pinecone. We show that Postgres can outperform Pinecone in the same benchmarks Pinecone covered in their article.
Learn how to measure the impact of Python GIL contention on application latency using eBPF, with real workload examples.
Not doing anything with it is exactly the point.

The most powerful AI platform for enterprises. Customize, fine-tune, and deploy AI assistants, autonomous agents, and multimodal AI with open models.
Quartz shares the high level design of a Clock interface that closely resembles the functions in the time standard library, and a "real" clock passes through to the standard library in production, while a mock clock gives precise control in testing.
An overview of the ongoing efforts to improve and roll out support for free-threaded CPython throughout the Python open source ecosystem
The JFrog Security Research team has recently discovered and reported a leaked access token with administrator access to Python’s, PyPI’s and Python Software Foundation’s GitHub repositories, which was leaked in a public Docker container hosted on Docker Hub. As a community service, the JFrog Security Research team…
author, Eric Holscher& the Write the Docs community,. Documentation as Code ( Docs as Code) refers to a philosophy that you should be writing documentation with the same tools as code: Issue Tr...
Learn how Firezone uses the sans-IO pattern to build testable, deterministic Rust networking code. A deep dive into our connlib design.
We discuss constraint programming, an approach to solve discrete optimization problems, and illustrate how it works with a scheduling code example implemented in Python with the CP-SAT solver.
Linus Torvalds once wrote in a book that he created Linux just for fun , but it ended up sparking a revolution. Git, his second major creation, was also an accidental revolution. It’s now a standard tool for software engineers, but its origin story wasn’t so much fun this time, at least for Linus.
I wrote a blog post the other day about how Next.js Middleware can be useful for working around some of the restrictions imposed by server components. This led to some fun discussions in the world about whether this was a reasonable approach or if Next.js DX was just... bad. From my perspective, Next.js’ App Router…
CriticGPT, a model based on GPT-4, writes critiques of ChatGPT responses to help human trainers spot mistakes during RLHF
Discover the gains and costs of GCC’s enhanced runtime buffer overflow protection. Level 3 _FORTIFY_SOURCE preprocessor macro may detect more buffer overflows, but there’s a cost.
A blog by and for database architects.
Blog for DoltHub, a website hosting databases made with Dolt, an open-source version-controlled SQL database with Git-like semantics.
Arvind, a longtime MIT professor and leading scholar in computer architecture and programming languages, has died at 77. He transformed research in computer architectures and parallel computing, enabling faster and more efficient computation.
Update (October 2024): In response to numerous requests from external developers, we have open-sourced a version of our Enzyme to React Testing Library (RTL) conversion tool. You can now find it on npm, along with detailed instructions on how to integrate and use it in your projects. In the world of frontend…
Code reflection, an enhancement to Java reflection, enables access to symbolic representations of Java code in method and lambda expressions. “Symbolic representations of Java code” may seem like a fancy term, but its easily demystified. It’s a model of Java code where the code of a method or lambda expressions is…
A survey of every framework for extracting structured output from LLMs, and how they compare.
Learn about Cohere models' ability to perform multi-step tasks, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
