Just ran a quick benchmark comparing different hashing functions on a Zen 5 EPYC processor (in pure Rust, from https://github.com/rust-stdx/stdx), and Ho My G..., BLAKE3 on Zen 5 is crazy

When something is so obvious to you, and yet the status quo is moving in the opposite direction, congratulations, you have found an opportunity. Tt's time to get your hands

It's now common knowledge that LLMs / AI agents are vulnerable to all kind of injections, so attackers are being more and more creative to find new entrypoints. One commonly

From embedded firmware (where it's badly needed) to big servers passing by cross-platform applications used by billions of people, the foundations of the computing stack are being rewritten in Rust.

I've just saw a project using the dreaded monorepo architecture: service1-package1/ service1-package2/ service1-package3/ ... service2-package1/ service2-package2/ ... I don't like it because packages

You've probably heard about how (micro)plastics are poisoning everything, from our land and water, to our bodies, and of the absolute malfeasance of the oil industry. Thus, as any reasonable

While a few people complain that AI is "stealing Open Source", training on Open Source code and giving nothing in return, I'm currently living the complete opposite: we are in

Threads were designed to parallelize compute-intensive tasks. However, these days, a lot of applications (such as a network scanner) are I/O (Input / Output) intensive. Thus, threads have two signific

Hey, you, I wanted to share a secret. I've got extraordinary results using DeepSeek v4 over the last week for programming tasks, especially Rust. I've done work that would have

One of my core beliefs is that a great amount of humanity's miseries have their roots in people and organizations refusing to adapt to an ever-changing world. The evolution of

Use monorepos My very unscientific analysis of the Rust ecosytem has come to the conclusion that Rust developers are wasting way too much time managing packages and dependencies. Whoever has

Rust is not bad for backend services. I'm currently working on a large backend service in Rust and I enjoy it (and a few other smaller). The compiler-enforced correctness and

As a Rust project grows in size, it can take a non-trivial amount of efforts to keep it in a clean state that will not impede your and your co-workers'

"Is Rust a great fit for this project?" I get this question quite frequently so I think it's time to write down my thoughts if it can help to avoid

The cheapest way to learn is to learn from others, so I always take a day every week to see what other organizations are doing and how they are doing

Turso, Neon, Polars, Databend, Materialize, DataFusion, InfluxDB, Quickwit and even ripgrep. Outside of DuckDB and PostgreSQL's core, most, if not all, the most-impactful projects in the database worl

The latest Intel processors, Core Ultra Series 3 a.k.a. Panther Lake, look awesome. They are fast in benchmarks, can consume very little power, enabling a full day of work and

There recently has been a lot of noise about quantum computing breakthroughs recently after Google's articles Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear and Safeguarding cryptocurrency by disclo

The world is moving fast, very fast, and nothing makes my blood boil faster than someone explaining to me that it has always been done this so that's fine, or

Supply Chain attacks are all the rage these days, with many high-profile attacks that were carried against the Python ecosystem (with litellm), JavaScript (with axios) and WordPress in the last
