A team led by researchers at UW Tacoma, UW and Washington State University Puyallup has discovered a chemical that kills coho salmon in urban streams before the
Run, compile, and link C programs instantly with CJIT.
A delightful language with friendly error messages, great performance, small assets, and no runtime exceptions.
There are many interesting, useful, and fun C libraries in the software ecosystem. While one could go and rewrite these libraries in Swift, usually there is no need, because Swift provides direct interoperability with C. With a little setup, you can directly use existing C libraries from your Swift code.
Stack Overflow traffic during DEF CON shows what technologies are trending in the hacker community
How should a fuzzer balance exploration and minimization? Samus has the answer.
One of the headline features of CockroachDB is its full support for ACID transactions across a distributed database. In this post, we’ll explain...
The same technology Rochester researchers used to create unsinkable metal structures can also be used to create highly efficient solar power generators.
Because HTML5 and its related technologies cover so much ground, it can be a real challenge to get up to speed on them. That’s why today we'...
PyPy 2.6.0 - Cameo Charm We’re pleased to announce PyPy 2.6.0, only two months after PyPy 2.5.1. We are particulary happy to update cf...
IBM Developer is the source for hands-on training and in-demand learning on relevant technologies such as generative AI, data science, Java, and more.
Physicists have proved that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle alter-ego and back again, in a new discovery revealed today. An extraordinarily precise measurement made by Oxford researchers using the LHCb experiment at CERN has provided the first evidence that charm mesons can change into their…
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…
A well-written, *FAST* data science database for your laptop.
NVL72 puts all 72 GPUs in a rack on one NVLink fabric, but only rack-local jobs get the speedup. How SkyPilot keeps multi-node training and inference on NVLink with topology-aware placement, in-place recovery from GPU failures, and automatic defragmentation.
