Unique identifiers play a crucial role in all applications, from user authentication to resource management. While using a standard UUID will satisfy all your security concerns, there’s a lot we can improve for our users.
One of the established and most popular programming languages is the C programming language. It is relatively easy to learn, and highly practical. Maybe surprisingly, the C programming language keeps evolving, slowly and carefully. If you have GCC 13 or LLVM (Clang) 16, you already have a compiler with some of the…

Do you work in Software Engineering, and have you seen messages or sentences like these before?
This idea is particularly sticky because it was more or less true 50 years ago, and it's a passable mental model to use when learning sql. But it's an inadequate mental model for building new sql frontends, designing new query languages, or writing tools likes ORMs that abstract over sql.
GTK 4.14 will be released very soon, with new renderers that were introduced earlier this year. The new renderers have much improved support for fractional scaling—on my system, I now use 125% scaling instead of the 'Large Text' setting, and I find that works fine for my needs. Magical numbers Ever since 4.0, GTK…
A few days ago I had to replace the old IP camera I use to watch over my dogs and cats, and found out that IP cam technology changed a lot since I bought that old camera. IP cameras are now low-price and ubiquitous. I bought one of those generic models and installed it at my home, expecting to use the same software…

Announcement of the formation of the W3C Sustainable Web Interest Group.
I'm sure you agree that it has become impossible to ignore Generative AI (GenAI), as we are constantly bombarded with mainstream news about Large Language Models (LLMs). Very likely you have tried…

An odd post. Diatoms are single-celled algae with glass shells, and people arrange them into patterns under a microscope.
LLaVA team presents LLaVA-1.6, with improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge. LLaVA-1.6 even exceeds Gemini Pro on several benchmarks.
Like the blip of an intro on the front page says, my degree was originally in music. My running joke as a web dev is that neither has meaningfully required me to count past 32. And while my main concentration was vocals, I've since realized I should probably stop strictly calling this a nontechnical field, because my…
Apple unveiled Apple Watch Series 10, featuring a refined design and bringing new capabilities to the world’s most popular watch.
During one of his “yes or no” Instagram Q&As, Scott Rao lamented the declining quality of Kenyan coffees over the last three years—a sentiment I’ve heard echoed by buyers across Europe, the US, and Australia. He kicked a different question over to me about whether cultivar or microclimate or process has the greatest…
