I’ve been doing a lot of work in and around PostgreSQL for JavaScript developers lately, and my general understanding is that JavaScript developers will do absolutely anything to avoid writing code that isn’t JavaScript. They’ll put their CSS in JavaScript, HTML in Jsx and now SQL in JavaScript!This is what I’m talking about. This syntax doesn’t have an official name, and in the case of Supabase, it’s an abstraction on top of PostgREST.

Ryan Dahl keeps finding new approaches to familiar tech. More than once, he’s played a central role in the evolution of an existing ecosystem. Now he’s part of an effort to modernize the many modules of code that developers import into their projects every day. And it’s not just upgrading repositories and supply chains, but ultimately the way that secure development gets performed.

Not long after I started working in the tech industry, I discovered that technologists have a special relationship with the word “opinionated.”And I’m hoping some of our loyal readers have opinions to share because The New Stack is expanding its contributor program. To the rest of the world, “opinionated” means, simply, to have and express opinions: about politics, food, the arts, you name it.

Apache Flink Gets Some Observability With DatoriosImages courtesy of Datorios. VOXPOP Try our new 5 second poll. It's fast. And it's fun! Should IBM Open Source Terraform? Should IBM donate the soon-to-be-acquired HashiCorp Terraform to the Linux Foundation? Yes, a vendor-neutral group like the Linux Foundation is the way to go. Yes, but to Apache, FSF or another less corporate-friendly open source governing body. No, IBM just spent $6.4 billion on HashiCorp. Why give away the code for free?

If you build a large language model (LLM) to use specifically with your company data, how do you filter results so that the person querying the data only receives results that they’re authorized to see?

A constant is a constant and it’s constantly the same. Get it? Okay, that’s not nearly clear enough, especially when dealing with a programming language. Let me put it this way: once a constant is defined, its value cannot be changed. But wait, don’t you define values like this:You certainly do. But if you were to define A in such a way, you could also change the value of A.

If you’re looking to deploy a server performance monitor for your Linux servers, Netdata has a great option that is easy to install, offers a very well-designed web-based interface, and monitors things like CPU, load, disks, RAM, swap, network, processes, idle-jitter, interrupts, softirqs, softnet, entropy, uptime, clock sync, Ipc semaphores, and lpc shared memory.

While building a decentralized Twitter in a previous post, I included some code that implemented JSON persistence. With the launch of Meta’s Llama 3 this month, I thought it’d be a good opportunity to explore how a new LLM can help with coding. Meta.AI is the chat frontend for Llama 3, which we will use after developing our persistence solution. As I write this (late April), Meta.AI is not available globally, so you may need to use a VPN to get to it.

Chipmakers and PC vendors for more than a year have been zeroing in on the promised coming of the AI PC boom, a time when users and developers will be able to run a broad array of AI tasks locally on their systems and — hopefully — give a charge to a global PC market that has slowed in the post-pandemic years.

GitHub is on a mission to help secure millions of developers through its mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) policy. Through the company’s initiative to make the software ecosystem more secure, GitHub has dramatically increased 2FA adoption among code contributors, with a 95% opt-in rate and a 54% increase in overall adoption among active contributors.
