RIGHT JOIN is an esoteric feature in the SQL language, and hardly ever seen in the real world, because almost every RIGHT JOIN can just be expressed as an equivalent LEFT JOIN. The following two statements are equivalent: It’s not unreasonable to expect these two statements to produce the same execu...

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been rapidly gaining traction, going viral on social media over the past two weeks. The community has already built dozens of MCP servers across a wide spectrum of domains, extending LLM capabilities with external tools, services, and data sources. For example, t...

A few months ago, I started sleeping badly. I had been excited about AI since ChatGPT came out.  I’d loved using Cursor to help me program since Jay had told me about it over the phone as I walked from Eureka Heights back home to Noe Valley. But, in January, something changed. The proximate cause wa...

JNI allows managed code inside the JVM or ART to call into native code. Java methods can be declared as native, and then a corresponding C function1 can be written and automatically wired together when the native library is loaded. Native code lacks mechanisms like packages and overloads, so a speci...

Recently Discord's Media Infrastructure team has modernized the app's image pipeline by adding support for animated WebP and AVIF formats! Join Scott Kidder as he explains how the team implemented support for these newer image formats.

Happy March! Another release is here with several improvements across the board.

Your traditional database is rock-solid for handling production workloads—reliable, resilient, and built to withstand just about anything. But when it comes to the developer experience? Not so much. If you’ve ever had multiple developers colliding on the same dev or test instance, overwriting each o...

Today’s announcement by Microsoft: [...] we’ve begun work on a native port of the TypeScript compiler and tools. The native implementation will drastically improve editor startup, reduce most build times by 10×, and substantially reduce memory usage. This blog post looks at some of the details behin...

Check out the finer details of the more technical fixes implemented into Discord recently.

We all have experienced what happens when a production database goes down—it’s not fun. No matter the cause, the result is always the same—high stress, downtime, and a rush to restore everything as quickly as possible. How long would it take to get your Postgres database back online? For most, the a...

Technical overview This post is mostly for scene-setting purposes. There’s nothing particularly remarkable here, but it’s useful to get the plain facts out of the way before we get into genuinely interesting design aspects.

About a month ago, the CPython project merged a new implementation strategy for their bytecode interpreter. The initial headline results were very impressive, showing a 10-15% performance improvement on average across a wide range of benchmarks across a variety of platforms. Unfortunately, as I will...

Are you ever so deeply in the developer grindset that you forget to eat? Me neither. But like most VC-backed companies, I wanted to solve a problem that does not exist 🙂 (not yet at least!) So, we decided to build an extension able to order us cheesburguers for lunch. The Stack First, a look […]

Many don’t know that “Slack” is in fact a backronym—it stands for “Searchable Log of all Communication and Knowledge”. And these days, it’s not just a searchable log: with Slack AI, Slack is now an intelligent log, leveraging the latest in generative AI to securely surface powerful, time-saving insi...
