PostgreSQL 18 just hit stable. Big swing! Async IO infrastructureis in. That means lower overhead, tighter storage control, and less CPU getting chewed up by I/O. Adddirect IO, and the database starts flexing beyond traditional bottlenecks. OAuth 2.0? Native now. No hacks needed. UUIDv7? Built-in su..

A researcher rolled their ownChromium forkwith a customDevTools Protocol (CDP) domain- not for fun, but to surgically probe browser internals. It reaches into Canvas, WebGL, and other trickier APIs, dodging the usual sandbox and spoofing all the bot blockers they'd rather you leave alone. It injects..

Advanced PostgreSQL tuning gets real results: composite indexes and CTEs can cut query latency hard when slicing huge datasets. AddLATERALjoins and indexed subqueries into the mix, and you’ve got a top-N query pattern that holds up—even when hammering long ID lists...

A longtime AWS insider, Werner Vogels, breaks down the shift from slow-and-steady software growth to the generative AI rocket ride. Capabilities soared. Guardrails? Not so much. No docs, no handrails - just launch and learn. AWS didn’t chase the hype. It pulled a classic AWS move: doubled down on B2..

SteamPipe just gutted its real-time storage engine and rebuilt it inRust. Expect faster performance and better scaling. Now runs oncolumnar storage, ships withvectorized queries, and rolls anobject store-backed WAL. Serious firepower for time series data. System shift:Another sign that high-throughp..

Walrusis a lock-free, single-nodeWrite Ahead Log in Rustthat rips through a million ops/sec and moves 1 GB/s of write bandwidth - on bare-metal, nothing fancy. It leans on mmap-backed sparse files, atomic counters, and zero-copy reads to get there. Each topic gets its own line of 10MB memory-mapped ..

OpenAI’sAgent Builderdrops the guardrails. It’s a no-code, drag-and-drop playground for building, testing, and shipping AI workflows - logic flows straight from your brain to the screen. Tweak interfaces inWidget Studio. Plug into real systems with theAgents SDK. Just one catch: it’s locked behind P..
