Want to learn more about Vitess, horizontal sharding, or Enterprise options? Talk to Solutions By Benjamin Dicken | January 9, 2025 What is shardingSharding is the process of scaling a database by spreading out the data across multiple servers, or shards. Sharding is the go-to database scaling solution for many large organizations managing data at petabyte scale. Your favorite companies like Uber,
Python is a wonderful programming language. I’ve used it to build webapps, deep learning models, games, and do numerical computation. However there is one aspect of Python that has been an inexcusable pain-in-the ass over many years. That would be the fragmented Python package and environment management ecosystem, succinctly represented by the following XKCD comic: You see, a lot of other programm
Demonstrators attempted to tear down a statue of Ms Hasina's father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman President Shahabuddin said he had chaired a meeting of army chiefs and political representatives. He said an interim government would be formed, new elections called and a national curfew lifted. In Dhaka on Monday, police and other government buildings were attacked and set on fire.

Many of you have been waiting for our first stable release, and with this blog post I am happy to announce that we are very very close. With this announcemen
VMware Desktop Hypervisor products Fusion and Workstation are used by millions of people every day to run virtual machines on their Windows, Linux and Mac computers. They give users the ability to quickly and easily build “local virtual” environments to install other operating systems, learn about technology, build and test software, complex systems, browsers, apps, games, and more. For many in ou
The Agile Manifesto [1], created in 2001, brought about a significant shift in the development of (software) products. The values and principles in the manifesto have since evolved and expanded, and we continue to discover better ways to implement them. Overall, the changes have been positive and continue to benefit the industry. This article discusses the journey we have collectively taken over t
AWS Lambda introduces recursive loop detection APIs | Amazon Web Services

Today, AWS Lambda is announcing new recursive loop detection APIs that allow you to set recursive loop detection configuration on individual Lambda functions. This allows you to turn off recursive loop detec
Note that there aren’t any tools for exploiting this bug that are widely available yet. While this post describes everything you need to know, we are not publishing a ready-made tool. Motivation¶ I’ve always wondered how folks gain access to encrypted devices without knowing the password. Sure, they likely have some bugs, but what kinds of bugs? Do they need government backdoors or 0-days? My assu

No, it's not, but it's taking shape, fast. At the end of January we open-sourced Zed and had zero Linux support. Now, three months later, you can compile & run Zed on Linux and actually use it. And I
Software engineers are deeply split on the subject of large language models. Many believe they’re the most transformative technology to ever hit the industry. Others believe they’re the latest in a long line of hype-only products: exciting to think about, but ultimately not useful to professionals trying to do serious work. Personally, I feel like I get a lot of value from AI. I think many of the

It’s Time To Talk About “CSS5” — Smashing Magazine
Have you ever wondered what happened after CSS3? It’s common knowledge that we never saw CSS4 come after it, yet we have a plethora of new features that have no similar way of defining when they were introduced. The W3C CSS-Next community group is actively searching for better approaches for how we describe the evolution of CSS over time and identify feature sets as effectively as we did with CSS3
Porting a cross-platform GUI application to Rust – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
Firefox’s crash reporter is hopefully not something that most users experience often. However, it is still a very important component of Firefox, as it is integral in providing insight into the most visible bugs: those which crash the main process. These bugs offer the worst user experience (since the entire application must close), so fixing them is a very high priority. Other types of crashes, s

Linux/4004 Slowly booting full Linux on the intel 4004 for fun, art, and absolutely no profit TL;DR I booted Debian Linux on a 4-bit intel microprocessor from 1971 - the first microprocessor in the world - the 4004. It is not fast, but it is a real Linux kernel with a Debian rootfs on a real board whose only CPU is a real intel 4004 from the 1970s. The video is sped up at variable rates to demonst
Why I Stopped Using Time Management Apps to Schedule My Day
Time management apps are everywhere, promising to streamline your schedule, boost productivity, and make the most of every minute. I bought into this promise, trying out app after app in hopes of mastering my daily routine. While this practice initially gave me a feeling of accomplishment, I eventually decided to step away from these apps. Here's why. 1 My Day Lacked Flexibility When I planned my
LLaMA Now Goes Faster on CPUs
I just wrote 84 new matrix multiplication kernels for llamafile which enable it to read prompts / images faster. Compared to llama.cpp, prompt eval time with llamafile should go anywhere between 30% and 500% faster when using F16 and Q8_0 weights on CPU. The improvements are most dramatic for ARMv8.2+ (e.g. RPI 5), Intel (e.g. Alderlake), and AVX512 (e.g. Zen 4) computers. My kernels go 2x faster
Modern CSS Layouts: You Might Not Need A Framework For That — Smashing Magazine
It’s easy to get lost in a sea of CSS frameworks and libraries, each promising easier styling and smoother layouts. But amidst this abundance, the modern CSS features we have today offer simpler and more flexible approaches without the added dependencies or abstractions.

気候危機の捏造
2024年4月30日 田中 宇 10年以上前から私にとって国際情勢は「自分の見立て・分析・理性が、世の中の常識・主流分析と正反対・大きく食い違っていても、間違っているのは自分でなく世の中の方である場合が意外と多い」というものになっている。 「常識と理性が対立したら、理性の方が正しい」という考え方は、子供や社員や国民に対する教育（洗脳）の観点からよろしくないが、事実である。「教育」自体が、理性を潰す洗脳行為である。 （どっちが妄想なのか？） 私にとって「世の中の方が間違っていた」最初の案件は、911やイラク戦争前後からの「テロ戦争」だった。アルカイダやISは米諜報界が育て、米国の敵を演じさせられてきたが、世の中の常識（正しい見方）は、ISカイダを本物の敵として心底恐れ、米国に頼って退治してもらうべき、というものだった。 ハマスはイスラエルが敵として育て、今ではパレスチナ問題を丸ごと潰してエジ
Cognitive load is what matters
It is a living document, last update: October 2024. Your contributions are welcome! The logo image was taken from Reddit. Introduction There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code. Confusion costs time and money. Confusion is caused by high cognitive load.
TanStack Router is an incredibly exciting project. It’s essentially a fully-featured client-side JavaScript application framework. It provides a mature routing and navigation system with nested layouts and efficient data loading capabilities at every point in the route tree. Best of all, it does all of this in a type-safe manner. What’s especially exciting is that, as of this writing, there’s a Ta
Reflection is something a lot of people wish the Rust language had: It is not hard to stumble across somebody with an interesting use case for it. People want to use it for serialization, GCs, better interop, and so, so much more. If you can think of a task, there is somebody out there wishing they could implement it using reflection. Sadly, it does not look like it is coming any time soon. Still,
Aligning decision-makers with the interests of their populations is a cornerstone of democracy.

Information, it turns out, is merely an input into a more consequential economic function
Who Ate My MySQL Table Rows?
TL;DR ALTER TABLE and OPTIMIZE TABLE on an InnoDB table, which rebuilds the table without blocking concurrent changes to it (i.e., executed using INPLACE algorithm) and concurrent DML or purge activity on the table can occasionally lead to two significant problems: ALTER/OPTIMIZE TABLE failing with an unnecessary duplicate key error (even though there are no duplicate keys in it). Data loss. Yes,
Pushing to Github after a shallow clone is horribly slow
TL;DR: use --depth 2. Read on for why. Shallow clones (can, but not necessarily must) defeat an important optimization. In your case this happens for the first push, but not for subsequent pushes. Other defeating cases can occur so other pushes might also be slow. We start with the fact that Git is really all about commits,1 which are shaped into a Directed Acyclic Graph. The graph has vertices or

Where Should Visual Programming Go? There’s a wonderful article by Sebastian Bensusan: “We need visual programming. No, not like that.” (the dot is part of the title ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). In it, Sebastian argues that we shouldn’t try to replace all code with visual programming but instead only add graphics where it makes sense: Most visual programming environments fail to get any usage. Why? They try to rep

A Mini Monitor for a Pi
This post outlines how I used a small 2 inch display as a monitor for my pi. Where it can display tty terminals and X desktops and applications as if it was a normal screen connected over hdmi. My overall goal is to have a sort of handheld “console” that I can connect a keyboard to and use as a normal computer. This post implements the display functionality needed to fulfill part of the goal. I la
We’ve watched large language models (LLMs) become mainstream over the past few years and have studied the implementations in the context of B2B applications. Despite some enormous technological advances and the presence of LLMs in the general zeitgeist, we believe we’re still only in the first wave of generative AI applications for B2B use cases. As companies nail down use cases and seek to build
