Eliminate Stored Credentials in Your CI/CD Pipelines TL;DR: Docker now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for GitHub Actions. Your workflows can authenticate with short-lived, per-run tokens instead of stored PATs or OATs. No secrets to rotate, no credentials to leak.  GitHub OIDC connections are availa...

How a branch-free loop and byte-space arithmetic let GitHub case-fold every byte of code search at >45 GiB/s on a single core. The post Don’t stop early: Case-folding source code at memory speed appeared first on The GitHub Blog.

Suppose a user searches for café and your corpus contains CAFÉ, or they type straße and you’ve stored STRASSE. To make these count as matches, you need a canonical form that erases case distinctions, so that two strings which differ only in case compare equal. That form is case folding, and it shows...

You might see a new option to sort comments on web, in addition to chronological sorting options: Best comments first. We want to make it easier to find interesting conversation, and demote spammy comments. Look for this option in the comments view on any post, only on web for now. We’re still testi...

Your semantic layer is a risk mitigation strategy. Not risk in the abstract, compliance-framework sense, but the practical, operational risk that quietly drains organizations every day..​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍�...

Somewhere in your notes there’s an app idea waiting for a free weekend that never comes. Consider this its official deadline: RevenueCat Shipaton 2026, the world’s biggest mobile hackathon, runs August 1 to September 30. If you know Kotlin, that idea is closer to the App Store than you think. The Sh...

TL;DRWhy I think software development is starting to feel a little more like conducting an orchestra. There’s a shift happening in software development that I don’t think we’re talking about clearly enough. For the last couple of years we’ve framed AI as a productivity tool. How much faster can it w...

Every few months, a new AI model arrives claiming to be the smartest yet. Better benchmarks. Better reasoning. Better coding. Better everything. It's easy to assume that whatev… The post Is the newest AI model always the best one? We put four to the test appeared first on Hostinger Blog.

Last year we made every Cloudflare server a Media over QUIC (MoQ) relay. Now the new provisioning API lets you create your own isolated relay and control who can publish and who can only watch.

Agent loops are in fashion these days, so I thought I’d talk about one of my favorite ones. Strangely, designing a useful agent loop turns out to be eerily similar to designing feedback loops in “pre-AI” software engineering. Or any sort of engineering, come to think of it. But let’s not overthink t...
