In 1839, J.M.W. Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire. The old warship, once a hero of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, glides like a ghost across the canvas, towed by a small steam tug belching smoke on its final voyage to the ship-breakers. The image shows a clear moment of change: sail giving way to steam, and with it, a major shift in power. The ship relied on timber, rope, canvas, and ...

Everything is GPLv3 from the platform code to the games to this website. You can read the code and fork it if you want to.
Researchers evaluated coding agents on clean and messy codebases to isolate the effect of code cleanliness. Clean codebases did not affect pass rates but reduced agents' computational cost and navigational efficiency by 7-8% and 34% respectively.
Updated 3/8/2005 I have been in a lot of "software engineering" debates, perhaps too many. It is frustrating that there are heavy opinions about the "right way" to make software, but no easy way to objectively compare them to settle long-standing arguments. I have been pondering and studying why this is the case, and think I am finally able to articulate an answer. If the ...
People are building their own software applications for personal use, and the gap between wanting something to exist and building it is shrinking.

In HOT Updates in Postgres we covered page pruning clean up HOT chains, an elegant shortcut where PostgreSQL reclaims dead tuple space during ordinary reads. All that without waiting for any background process. But pruning is exactly that: a shortcut. It only works within a single page, and only for HOT-updated tuples. For everything else (cold updates that touch indexed columns, plain ...
