We are excited to add support for .NET 6 to Lambda. It’s fast to get started or migrate existing functions to .NET 6, with many new features in .NET 6 to take advantage of. Read the Lambda Developer Guide for more getting started information.
Largely because of a single code snippet used by many.
This post was inspired by some controversy with Valve and their support for Linux, but the bulk of it comes from long-term observation. One of the biggest impacts with the viability of Linux on the desktop was Valve’s Proton, a… Continue reading →
I sometimes find myself in a position of needing to write some code that I’m just not sure how to write. Been there have you? Here are the steps I take when I’m stumped. No huge revelations here, just hard-earned advice.
I like to learn at least one new programming language every year - it’s mostly for fun - they are rarely useful for projects that I actually have to ship . This year, I’ve decided to look at Zig. After skimming through the official documentation and finishing the ray tracing in one weekend exercise, I realize that Zig…
Ruby can work asynchronously with just a Fiber Scheduler and a couple built-in methods - no frameworks are required! It's easy to use, scales well, and has amazing performance benefits.
SQLite 3.38.0 introduced improvements to JSON query syntax using -> and ->> operators that are similar to PostgreSQL JSON functions. In this post we...
It will chew you up and spit you out, and you'll not even complain. I often start new projects at the beginning of the year, around Dec...
GitLab release announcements and feature highlights.
I’m a Haskell failure, don’t tell anyone! Recently I encountered some dubious error handling code. Not only was it failing, it was failing WRONG 1. This frus
Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn has been a long time in the making, and I am excited to finally get to talk about the release of my new book…
Some days ago I noticed that on a Mac, doing snprintf calls from multiple threads shows curious lack of scaling ( see tweet ). Replacing snprintf with {fmt} library can speed up the OBJ exporter in Blender 3.2 by 3-4 times . This could have been the end of the story, filed under a “eh, sprintf is bad!” drawer, but I…
Between 2016 and 2020 I wrote a series of blog posts called “How to speed up the Rust compiler”. These were mostly about my work on the Rust compiler, plus some updates on the progress on the Rust compiler’s speed in general.
Recently piet-gpu has taken a big step towards realizing its vision, moving the computation of path clipping from partially being done on the CPU to entirely being done on the GPU.
NOTES: I have grouped the options such that the Boolean ones (read: on/off true/false) come first, then those with a short amount of "flags", and after that the ones with a very long value.
Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem states that there are mathematical statements that can neither be proven or disproven. His proof is fairly difficult to ...
ActiveRecord's ConnectionPool is now fiber-safe! Configure config.active_support.isolation_level for better throughput.
At my university, one of our internal software systems allows a professor to submit a revision to a course. The professor might change the content or the objectives of the course. In a university, professors have extensive freedom regarding course content. As long as you reasonably meet the course objectives, you can…
Modern browsers are some of the most complicated programs ever written. For example, the main Firefox library on my system is over 130Mbytes. Doing 130MB of IO poorly can be quite a performance hit, even with SSDs! :). Few people seem to understand how memory-mapped IO works. There are no pre-canned tools to observe…
(I was sending an email today about a simple trick we use in the shader system, and it seemed easy and useful to share that email publicly, so, here you go!)
A AMD oferece soluções de computação adaptativa e de alto desempenho de liderança para promover IA de data center, PCs com IA, dispositivos de borda inteligentes, jogos e muito mais.
I wrote a program that sends cats to my phone when I'm sad at the computer.
In this post, we’ll implement and optimize a text search system based on Postgres Trigrams
Machine Learning has made huge strides in the last few decades, but it remains largely inaccessible to the average developer. This post examines some of the reasons why.
As software engineers, we're constantly making detailed, elaborate plans for computers to execute. Isn't it weird that we rarely give a moment's thought to the program for our own careers?
How I built LoginWithHN, an OAuth2+OpenID Connect provider for HackerNews.
Running a development team for each mobile platform sucks up resources from other work. Flutter is the most popular way for one development team to build on all platforms.
