The most recent change to the search engine is a system that profiles websites based on their rendered DOM. The goal is identifying advertisements, trackers, nuisance popovers, and similar elements. The search engine already tries to do this, but isn’t very good at it because it’s only looking at static code. It turns out to be somewhat difficult to determine what a website that has non-trivial javascript will look like based its source..

So, last time I said I was hooked, and that I wrote an allocation profiler. That’s true! And it was comparatively easy. Starting from the baseline of SpiderMonkey which sleeps before exit from the last blog post, the profiler looks like this: BEGIN { printf("Attaching probes for %s", str($1)) } uprobe:$1:cpp:"*gcprobes::CreateObject*" { // 7 frames as the hook is ususally quite deep, so we want // to see user code too. @alloc[....

Bottom Line Up Front The goal isn't to replace human developers but to offload repetitive tasks so we can focus on creativity and architecture—where human expertise is irreplaceable. Start your next feature by writing tests first, then let AI help implement the solution. You'll deliver higher quality code faster, with greater confidence. Large Language Models Aren't as Simple as They Seem Large language models (LLMs) have a fundamental flaw....

So I have been having quite a bit of fun learning about eBPF. It’s been on my todo list for like two or three years, but I’ve finally made the time to actually start to figure it out, and have already found some neat stuff, and had to do some fun hacking. Let’s set the stage. eBPF is an instrumentation and tracing system built into Linux (and Windows these days!). The general thrust of it is that you provide the kernel with some b....

Reply to Issues · Hanno Perrey / khalel · GitLab Ability to pass options (before command) to vdirsyncer Hi. I've been using khalel + khal + vdirsyncer for the last few days, and it has been an absolute joy. I tried various ways of working with my work calendar in my org system, and this has been the best in terms of stability and simplicity. However, in my setup, vdirsyncer shows a lots of …

Using Postgres pg_test_fsync tool for testing low latency writes

Here’s a useful tool for quickly testing whether a disk (or a cloud block store volume) is a good candidate for your database WAL/redo logs and any other files that require low latency writes. The pg_test_fsync tool is bundled with standard Postgres packages, so no extra installation is needed. You don’t actually have to use Postgres as your database, this tool’s output is universally valuable for any workload requiring fast writes.

Humans drink some coffee, but moreso, we drink tea. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization claims that tea is the world’s most-consumed beverage after water. Comparing the Statistia pages on tea and coffee , you’ll see 2025 global consumption estimates of 7.75 billion kg of tea and 7.47 billion kg of coffee – nearly the same by weight. But when you consider that a cup of tea uses around 2-5 grams of leaves, and a cup of c..

Update: Added macOS Trash integration. While GNU/Linux had been my operating system of choice for many years, these days I'm primarily on macOS. Lucky for me, I spend most of my time in Emacs itself (or a web browser), making the switch between operating systems a relatively painless task. I build iOS and macOS apps for a living, so naturally I've accumulated a handful of macOS-Emacs integrations and tweaks over time. Below are some o....

When building RavenDB 7.0, a major feature was Vector Search and AI integration.We weren't the first database to make Vector Search a core feature, and that was pretty much by design. Not being the first out of the gate meant that we had time to observe the industry, study new research, and consider how we could best enable Vector Search for our users. This isn’t just about the algorithm or the implementation, but about the entire mindset....

At work we're so absorbed in the difficulties we face that it becomes easy to forget what we appreciate and what we value in our coworkers. On social media we can be so focused on our own work that we forget to interact with others'. I have heard so many times from founders that they switch between heads down building, disappearing from the community, and then pop up to talk about what they've built. Engineers often say the exact same thi....
