In this living document, I will document reactions to uses of homomorphic encryption by members of the public. By “member of the public,” I mean people who may be technical, but are not directly involved in the development or deployment of homomorphic encryption systems. This includes journalists, b...

Neon’s serverless architecture with decoupled storage and compute makes it possible to offer database branching via copy-on-write. This feature is among the most loved by teams using Neon, but if you’ve never seen it in action, it’s hard to visualize how it works or why it’s useful. That’s why we’ve...

GoReleaser v2.5 is out with Rust and Zig support - let’s explore how we can use it!

.env files. If you’ve worked on a web application, you’ve probably seen one. While they certainly get the job done, .env files have shortcomings that can create friction in development workflows. We’ve touched on .env files in past articles about xcconfig files and secret management on iOS. But this...

In this blog post, we look at how WebAssembly has become an ecosystem for many programming languages and what technologies enable that.

Exercise better foresight by identifying patterns, pinpointing what makes them persist, and understanding what could prevent it in the future. Take a moment to count the urgent issues you handled this week. Production incidents. Customer escalations. Team conflicts. Deadline pressures. For many engi...

If it’s worth doing by hand, it’s worth automating. Just because not everyone is (yet) a world-class developer; that doesn’t mean we can’t step closer to that expert-level space. In this post, I will introduce AIDE (Artifical Intelligence Development Environment), a powerful workflow that merges AI-...

I found it annoyingly non-trivial to add a spell checker to this blog. For now, I settled on GitHub Spellcheck Action that uses PySpelling on files changed in the commit or pull request as described in this blog post. name: Check Spelling on: [push, pull_request] jobs: check: runs-on: ubuntu-latest ...

Sometimes, working on big projects, running all tests locally take too much time.

In this article, you’ll see eight larger examples that illustrate the changes in C++23. C++23 brings a ton of cool features, as you can see in my two previous articles (here and here). So far, we explored each new addition one by one, but I’d like to share more examples that combine multiple feature...

You can absolutely run Qwen-2.5 32B. And of course, Llama-3.1 8B and Llama-3.2 Vision 11B are no problem at all.

You can absolutely run Qwen-2.5 32B. And of course, Llama-3.1 8B and Llama-3.2 Vision 11B are no problem at all. Now, before you get too excited, there’s a catch: this rig won’t break any speed records (more on that later). But if you’re after a budget-friendly way to do LLM research, this build mig...

One would think that we’ve more or less figured survey UI out by now. Multiple choice questions, checkbox questions, matrix questions, dropdown questions, freeform textfields, numerical scales, what more could one possibly need?! And yet, every time Google sponsored me to lead one of the State Of … ...

We often recommend Hyperdrive to Neon users building on Cloudflare Workers, particularly for global applications looking to reduce latency. But we frequently receive questions about this tool and how it works with Neon—so let’s cover the most common ones in this blog post.  What is Hyperdrive?  Serv...

Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI models trained on vast datasets to perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks. Their widespread adoption in various applications, from chatbots to intelligent decision-making systems, requires a robust security framework to ens...

Here's how to narrow a TypeScript union type on a nested value in an object.Type NarrowingNarrowing a type means we start with a more-general super type and determine which more-specific sub type we're actually dealing with.In this case, we want to know if something is either a magazine or a book.

Introduction Java’s annotation system has come a long way since its introduction in Java 5. At first glance, annotations appear to be mere metadata markers on classes and methods. However, annotations can do much more than that. You can nest types within them, incorporate fields that reference helpe...
