An extensible developer-friendly application security platform that scans source code to surface true and actionable security issues with AI-assisted SAST, SCA, and Secrets Detection solutions.
Introduction Hi, I’m Glenn Fiedler and welcome to Game Physics. In the previous article we discussed how to integrate the equations of motion using a numerical integrator. Integration sounds complicated, but it’s just a way to advance the your physics simulation forward by some small amount of time called “delta time”…

Developing a working piece of software is difficult. Just like building an airplane, it requires talented people, working components, and a testing framework. No plane leaves the hangar before everyth
What a query-based compiler is and what they are good for.
Back with a post after 6 years of silence. If you had to parse a microsecond-resolution epoch timestamp as quickly as possible, how would you do it? We’ll take a look at using compiler intrinsics to do it in log(n) time.
People have been comparing software components to LEGO blocks for a couple decades. We should be able to assemble applications by snapping together modular components, just like LEGOs. There has been progress, but for the most part we haven't realized the promise LEGO-style software development. Integrating two…
This PEP proposes to add a pattern matching statement to Python, inspired by similar syntax found in Scala, Erlang, and other languages.
Learn why Git flow complicates the lifecycle and discover an alternative to streamline development.
If you have used tools like Google’s PageSpeed Insights, you probably have run into a suggestion to use “next-gen image formats”, namely Google’s WebP image format. Google claims that their WebP…

An introduction to Zig's curious concurrent programming API.
Whenever I have a chance, I extol the virtues of message-passing and event-loops in structuring concurrent workflows in Rust. However, in…
Until recently, across a half-century perhaps fewer than a dozen people had ever had the opportunity to read Dennis Ritchie’s dissertation—the intellectual and biographical fork-in-the-road separating an academic career in computer science from the one at Bell Labs leading to C and Unix. Why?
Looking back at the journey which brought us there, and forward to what still lies ahead.
In response to popular demand, Microsoft announced a new feature of the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)—GPU acceleration—at the Build conference in May 2020. This feature opens the gate for many…
Setting up a new repository with all the right linters for the different types of code can be time consuming and tedious. So many tools and configurations to choose from…
As much as I love digital instruments, synthesizers and other electronic gear I also really love the look and feel of instruments made from wood, brass, steel and felt. There is objectively no difference between the best digitally sampled pianos but for some reason it doesn’t quite feel as much alive as an actual…
My program received a SIGSEGV signal and crashed with "Segmentation Fault" message. Where does the "V" come from? Did I read it wrong? Was there a "Segmentation *V*ault?"? Or did Linux authors make a mistake? Shouldn't the signal be named SIGSEGF?
Is this guide only for developers? This guide is mainly aimed at developers working alone or in teams, team leaders, service providers but also at anyone interested in web or application development. It provides advice and best practices, and thus gives useful keys to understand the GDPR for every stakeholder…
We find that, just as a large transformer model trained on language can generate coherent text, the same exact model trained on pixel sequences can generate coherent image completions and samples. By establishing a correlation between sample quality and image classification accuracy, we show that our best generative…
