Empowering Developers, Disrupting the Norm!

GitHub recently introduced Artifact Attestations, a beta feature that enhances the security of Open Source software supply chains. By linking artifacts to their source code repositories and GitHub Actions, it ensures that artifacts are not built with malicious or unknown code or on potentially compromised devices.

XFaaS: Addressing Key Challenges in Serverless Computing

In computing, procedural generation is a method of creating data algorithmically as opposed to manually, typically through a combination of human-generated content and algorithms coupled with computer-generated randomness and processing power. In computer graphics, it is commonly used to create textures and 3D models. In video games, it is used to automatically create large amounts of content in a game. Depending on the implementation, advantages of procedural generation can include smaller file sizes, larger amounts of content, and randomness for less predictable gameplay. Procedural generation is a branch of media synthesis.

Discover the power of Tailcall's introspection capabilities in tackling the N+1 problem, a common performance issue in systems where a single downstream request triggers numerous upstream requests. Tailcall allows you to identify all instances of N+1 issues before starting your server, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Learn more about how Tailcall addresses this challenge and enhances your system's functionality.

Author: Alexey Makhotkin [email protected]. Introduction In this database design tutorial (~9000 words) I’m going to show how to design the database tables for a real-world project of substantial complexity. We’ll design a clone of Google Calendar. We will model as much as possible of the functionality that is directly related to the calendar. This series illustrates an approach explained in the book called “Database Design using Minimal Modeling”, scheduled to be released in Summer 2024.
