Anthropic just shut the door on OpenAI, yanking access to theClaude Code APIafter spotting ChatGPT engineers poking around—likely prepping forGPT-5. Claude Codeisn’t just an internal toy. It’s a serious coding co-pilot, used in the wild by devs who want answers without babysitting a model. Market ..

Out of 3,977 real-world PDFs, 0.5% broke during xref pointer parsing. Not a huge number—unless you're the one parsing them. The top culprit? Junk data before the start pointer. Classic. Other file weirdness: broken xref tables, bad object offsets, and inconsistent xref chains...

A dev takes functional programming from Python class to JavaScript land—with surprising wins. The usual suspects show up:closures,function composition, and some spicyparser combinators. But the real magic? Swapping out side-effect soup forpure functions,Result-based error handling, andhigher-order f..

JavaScript runtimes aren’t just multiplying—they’re splintering. Big engines likeV8,JavaScriptCore,QuickJS,Hermes, andSpiderMonkeynow sit at the core of purpose-built runtimes everywhere: cloud, edge, mobile, IoT, even smart TVs. Platforms likeCloudflare Workers,Deno Deploy,Bun,LLRT, andNativeScrip..

Visual Studio and VS Code continue to reign supreme, fending off AI IDEs in the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey. AI-generated devs noted as time-consuming and lacking trust, while Microsoft tools still dominate in agentic AI with GitHub and ChatGPT. More to discover, as always, Stack Overflow D..

Docker’s getting serious about agent-based AI. It just rolled out tools tailor-made for building modular, goal-chasing LLM systems. Model Runnerlets devs spin up LLMs locally—zero cloud, zero wait.Offloadtaps cloud GPUs when local ones tap out. And theMCP Gatewaypipes in external tools without duct..

A CS student taught themselvesSwiftusingNotebookLM, Google’s AI that sticks to sources you feed it. They pulled in handpicked docs, YouTube transcripts, and visual mind maps—all dropped into a custom notebook. No generic guesses. No hallucinated trivia. Just clean, source-grounded answers on syntax ..

A solo dev just spun up a public build of aRedis-style key-value store in Java—lean, thread-safe, and backed by a custom TCP server. Right now it handlesGET,SET, andDELETEover a socket-level protocol. No HTTP. No bloat. At its core: aConcurrentHashMapdoing the heavy lifting. Fast, in-memory, and de..

PostgreSQL index corruption silently broke the matrix.org homeserver. State groups were corrupted, active data was deleted, and restoring consistency took a week of forensic debugging and reindexing. The root cause? Unclear. Hardware, maybe. But not Postgres or Synapse. The team’s fix involved disab..

Generative AI databases like SingleStore now cramOLTP,OLAP,vector search, andfull-text searchinto one SQL-first platform. Structured, unstructured—it eats both. No ETL. No silos. Just real-time data, ripe for AI models and semantic queries. System shift:Blending transactional and analytic guts in o..
