Software engineering end to end: languages, data, infra, and security, with AI wherever it enters the work of people who write code. Always with code and examples, never just the news.
At the first edition of Config in India, Figma introduced Figma Specs, a Markdown-based editor that documents design rules for teams and for the agents already operating on the canvas, in addition to taking the prototype's code feature out of its closed testing phase.
Tempo 3.1 lets you redact entire traces with a single query, fixes metrics skewed by sampling, and strengthens the Kafka client that became a central piece of the architecture since version 3.0.
Released in September 2025, PostgreSQL 18 has now been in production for over a year and brought two changes that call for adjustments to code and configuration: the uuidv7() function for primary keys and the asynchronous I/O subsystem controlled by io_method.
CedarDB, a database created by researchers from the Technical University of Munich, announced this Wednesday (the 14th) the limited availability of its cloud version. The bet: run transactions and analytics on the same instance, compatible with PostgreSQL, at a time when AI agents need to query operational data in real time.
Research led by Neil Thompson, of MIT, shows that OpenAI models went from near zero to a third of correct answers on theoretical physics, economics and statistics problems between mid-2024 and mid-2026. The bottleneck that remains is no longer solving: it's verifying.
Third-quarter results show the Dutch lithography machine maker posted record sales to China, just as Washington tries to close the loophole that still allows this trade.
In public preview since October 14, 2026, the feature locks the workflow to the exact commit of each action, even if the referenced tag or branch changes later.
Timescale's pg_vectorsearch introduces the PRISM index: compatible with existing pgvector tables and, according to the project, faster than IVFFlat and HNSW both in query and index build time.
The official release notes, updated in September 2026, confirm Jackson 3.0 as the default and rename beans and properties used by anyone configuring observability and persistence. None of this shows up as an obvious error: it shows up as JSON or a metric that silently stopped matching.
The Antigravity SDK now runs AI models directly on the developer's machine and only sends to the cloud what is strictly necessary. In a test run by Google itself, 97.2% of tokens stayed on-device and no source code left the computer.
VoidZero, acquired by Cloudflare, has stabilized Vite+, a toolchain that bundles Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc into a single command. Version 1.0 brings GitLab CI support, automatic migration of tsup projects, and native Git hooks.
O projeto Janas-LLM transmite os experts de modelos MoE do SSD para a memória sob demanda e afirma superar o llama.cpp em velocidade em todos os 13 modelos testados.
As of today, GitHub's secret scanning detects keys from Anthropic, Salesforce, and Cloudsmith, and Anthropic tokens are now blocked by default in push protection. See what this changes in public and private repositories.
Two new events in the GitHub Code Quality audit log show who dismissed or reopened a finding, when, and under which rule. The missing piece to justify, in an audit, why a vulnerability remained in the code.
Making a WordPress backup seems simple until it's time to restore the site on another host. Downloading a folder of images or exporting just the…
Character.AI, one of the most talked-about startups of the character chatbot boom, has filed for bankruptcy protection (Chapter 11) in the United States to facilitate a court-supervised sale, with completion expected by December 2026.
The AI company says small models could, within a few months, copy themselves across internet-connected gadgets without human help, such as smart TV boxes and appliances.
QCon AI New York 2026 has confirmed talks from engineers at LinkedIn, DoorDash, and Google Cloud on agent identity, trustworthy evals, and the real cost of keeping LLMs running at scale.
Find out what should be included in a complete WordPress backup, how to export files and the database, and when you need to prepare the copy to migrate your site.
A test with 2 million rows shows, in numbers, why DELETE keeps the table's physical size unchanged and what actually returns space to disk.
At a roundtable during the CTO Summit 2026, Indian CTOs and Oracle discussed why scattered data, lacking context and access control, stalls AI agents in production, and what changes in architecture to unlock it.
The three tools use the application's relational database to do what currently depends on Redis and Sidekiq.
A detailed survey of the password_encryption parameter shows that it only decides the algorithm applied to plaintext passwords at the moment of CREATE ROLE or ALTER ROLE, never converts what's already stored in pg_authid, and doesn't take part in authentication itself.
The tech giant announced on Monday (the 12th) the Maia 300, a chip designed to run its own models and OpenAI's models on Azure, promising greater efficiency per watt than the market's leading GPUs.
In one year, the number of code changes Spotify ships per month jumped from 8,100 to 17,000 amid growing AI use, and the company had to strengthen monitoring, testing and rollback plans to keep pace.
React version 19.3, released on September 9, 2026, adds the browser() API to formally declare components that should not be rendered on the server.
Tests comparing Partitioning, ZOrder, and Liquid Clustering in Delta Lake reveal that no single data layout strategy wins on its own, and that each one has a blind spot capable of degrading production queries without anyone noticing.
Devrim Gündüz, maintainer of the PGDG RPM repositories, detailed how pg_statviz began offering analysis via Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Ollama across six Linux distribution families, and why it took three days of packaging work.
A benchmark presented by Sai Srirampur at POSETTE 2026, detailed in a ClickHouse blog post, compared the same 3.3-billion-row workload on EBS and local NVMe and found a difference of up to 9.24 times in throughput.
TABLESAMPLE promises fast answers on giant tables, but it works on physical page addresses, not on the rows themselves. Understanding this difference avoids wrong counts, averages, and test samples.
An experiment with the Join Order Benchmark tested, in practice, 179 indexes that the PostgreSQL planner had approved as a sure win. Almost one in five made the real query worse.
Vercel added Mistral Large 4 to the AI Gateway catalog: Mistral's multimodal model is now called through the same key and the same endpoints used for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers.
A self-funded benchmark by consultant Kaarel Moppel compares Postgres 18.6 and Betas 3 and 4 of version 19 under real OLTP workloads. The average gain is modest, but it hides a detail that matters to anyone running heavy write workloads on the database.
