Automated tests are important. Without them, programmers waste a huge amount of time manually checking and fixing their code. Unfortunately, many automated tests also waste a huge amount of time. The easy, obvious way to write tests is to make broad tests that are automated versions of manual tests. But they’re flak...

An SQLite database is highly resistant to corruption. If an application crash, or an operating-system crash, or even a power failure occurs in the middle of a transaction, the partially written transaction should be automatically rolled back the next time the database file is accessed. The recovery process is fully ...

The other key booster over traditional RAG is that it indexes in vast amounts of dimensions as it's tightly integrated into git. Not only is it understanding the code based on the commit history, but also the static state of the files checked into git. As a result, it can find the right file(s) like a needle in a ha...

Passkeys were introduced two years ago, and they replace traditional passwords with more secure authentication using a security key or biometrics. To make the technology even better, the FIDO Alliance published on Monday new specifications for passkeys, which ensure a way to let users import and export them. Current...

Antithesis is at the forefront of conquering one of the toughest parts of software engineering: transforming software testing and debugging to make it more efficient and reliable. Their solution is based on a deterministic hypervisor built on FreeBSD and its native hypervisor, Bhyve. Let’s explore the specific chall...

I love the js-framework-benchmark. It’s a true open-source success story – a common benchmark, with contributions from various JavaScript framework authors, widely cited, and used to push the entire JavaScript ecosystem forward. It’s a rare marvel. That said, the benchmark is so good that it’s sometimes taken as the...

Traditional cloud storage is inherently slow, because it is normally accessed over a network and must carefully synchronize across many clients that could be accessing the same data. But what if we could instead put your application code deep into the storage layer, such that your code runs directly on the machine w...

Amazing. Awesome. Well, but what is it? We could store json data in Pg since PostgreSQL 9.2 – so it's been there for over 12 years now. How is the new shiny thing different? What does it allow you to do? Let's see if I can shed some light on it… For starters: SQL/JSON is a standard. As in: written down by people not...

For the last seven years, I've been reaching for nginx when I wanted to host something that was facing the public internet. Mostly as a reverse-proxy, but also for static sites. My webservers tend to accumulate features over time (like all software, I guess) and after a while, I have multiple services running under ...
