This week’s meeting: Meeting #2 of C++26 At the previous meeting in June, the committee adopted the first 40 proposed changes for C++26, including many that had been ready for a couple of meetings and were just waiting for the C++26 train to open to be adopted. For those highlights, see the previous trip report. This is that library.

The findings from our 2023 Open Source Database Report highlight that a substantial 42% of all database instances are now licensed through community-supported open source models, and GitHub reports that over 30% of Fortune 100 companies have established open source program offices (OSPO) to coordinate and manage their open source initiatives.

Such applications track the inventory of our network gear: what devices, of which models, with which hardware components, located in which sites. Python has long been a popular programming language in the networking space because it’s an intuitive language that allows engineers to quickly solve networking problems.

This abstraction allows the compute team to influence the reliability, efficiency, and operability of the fleet via the scheduler. We do this for reliability, scalability, and efficiency reasons.

The thrust of the argument is that there’s a chain of inter-linked assumptions / dependencies from the hardware all the way to the programming model, and any time you step outside of the mainstream it’s sufficiently hard to get acceptable performance that researchers are discouraged from doing so. Challenges optimising whole programs.

And thirdly, an "algorithmic revolution" has taken place, meaning it is now possible to train trillions of algorithms simultaneously, making the whole machine learning process much faster. For example programming interfaces that developers can use to analyze images, change text into true-to-life language or create chatbots.

” This contains updated and new material that reflects the latest C++ standards and compilers, with a focus to using modern C++11/14/17 effectively on modern hardware and memory architectures. On April 25-27, I’ll be in Stockholm (Kista) giving a three-day seminar on “High-Performance and Low-Latency C++.”

In 2013, AWS launched the AWS Activate program to provide Nordic startups access to guidance and one-on-one time with AWS experts. We also provided web-based training, self-paced labs, customer support, third-party offers, and up to $100,000 in AWS service credits–all at no charge.

Selenium , the first tool for automated browser testing (2004), could be programmed to find fields on a web page, click on them or insert text, click “submit,” scrape the resulting web page, and collect results. Our current set of AI algorithms are good enough, as is our hardware; the hard problems are all about data.

Education, tools, and training all support the premise that supporting more browsers is better ( ceteris paribus ), creating a substantial incentive to grease squeaky wheels. Efficiently enables new styles of drawing content on the web , removing many hard tradeoffs between visual richness , accessibility, and performance.

3] Oh, and it should be imperatively programmed with Lisp-in-C's-clothing. Recall that browsers arose atop platforms that universally provided a host of services by the late 90's: system fonts (to support layout programs, including WYSIWYG editing). multi-tasking & concurrent programming. high-color image raster.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. I fear we will not be so lucky; an entire generation has been trained to ignore reality, to prize tribalism rather than engineering rigor, and to devalue fundamentals.

Once it's resolved our pipeline takes over and the ticket catches the next release train. We also use bug bounty programs and engage in whitehat testing companies.
