I regularly restart my Pixel 9 Pro, and there's a good reason for that. Actually, there are several reasons why I regularly restart my phone (weekly -- at least). Here's a short list for you to ponder: Improves performance by clearing temporary caches. Enhances security by disrupting possible cyberattacks and clearing possible malware stored in memory. Resolves issues such as if your phone has slowed down, is getting hot, apps are crashing, and you're having connectivity issues, a restart often will fix those issues.

Code Optimizations is an AI-based service running on Azure Application Insights that uses telemetry gathered by the Application Insights Profiler for .NET to analyse runtime behaviour, find performance bottlenecks down to individual methods, and provide actionable suggestions. Developers can view aggregated data over time (defaulting to a rolling 24‑hour window, with history up to 30 days) for their production and non-production environments.

It procedurally generates foliage in minutes with enough detail to strand up to close examination. Forest Generator is a tool created by VFX artist Andreas Dürr AKA Cinematic Cookie. It allows the rapid creation of realistic procedural forests using Geometry Nodes in Blender. There are currently four different biomes, allowing the creation of deciduous forest, jungle, bamboo and snow-covered forest.

Resolution: 1920x1080 or the highest resolution of your monitor Fullscreen: Borderless View Distance: High Anti-Aliasing: Medium Post Processing: Medium Shadows: Low Global Illumination: Low Reflections: Low Textures: High Effects: High Foliage: High Shading: Medium Motion Blur: No Upscaler: DLSS (if using an Nvidia GPU) Frame Generation: DLSS (if you have an applicable Nvidia GPU) Sharpener: None Upscaler Quality: High Sharpener Quality: Low Gamma: 2.2

The latest patch, which brings the game to version 1.27.a, introduces a new Texture Quality graphics setting. The new option, which Team Peak says has been much-requested, allows players with low VRAM to lower the texture quality, reducing the incidence of low framerates, missing graphics, and potential crashes. The developer notes that the lower texture quality "doesn't even look much worse," so it's worth checking out for anyone who's been experiencing performance issues in Peak.

Mako, a startup co-founded by Cornell Tech assistant professor Mohamed Abdelfattah, has raised $8.5 million in seed funding to tackle one of artificial intelligence's most pressing infrastructure challenges: optimizing the computing efficiency of graphics processing units, or GPUs. The $8.5 million round was led by M13, with participation from Neo, Flybridge, and others. The company plans to use the funding to grow its engineering team and accelerate product development.

I've been in the entrepreneurship game long enough to spot when something big is coming. And I'm telling you right now: I believe biohacking isn't just another wellness fad. It's a legitimate business strategy that's giving smart entrepreneurs a massive competitive edge. The numbers don't lie: why entrepreneurs need this now Eighty-seven percent of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues versus just 48% of regular people. But here's the real kicker - it's not just stress. I think it's about trying to maintain peak performance while your body systematically breaks down under the demands of building something meaningful.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables communication between AI language models and external data sources, focusing on standardized structured server implementations.

LM Caches play a critical role in improving the efficiency and scalability of deploying large language models by caching and reusing previously computed results.

Scala Days stands out as a unique tech conference with direct insights from the architects of essential tools and practices within the Scala ecosystem.

Cold starts in AWS Lambda refer to the additional latency introduced when initializing a new execution environment for a function invoked after a period of inactivity.

Aeroscale has combined sophisticated gear and proprietary software to measure rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag with high precision, achieving accuracy of 0.5 watts on a velodrome.

Python is amazing, but it’s painfully slow. Mojo, launched by Modular AI, provides the same syntax but enhances speed and optimizes for GPU usage.

Heavy-traffic decentralized applications (dApps) querying Ethereum's blockchain frequently face latency due to high node workload, leading to poor user experiences and elevated costs.

The enhancement addresses a long-standing inefficiency in Java's memory model where object headers can consume over 20% of heap space in applications with many small objects.

In Go 1.22, the traditional 'for' loop gotcha with sharing loop variables is resolved, ensuring variable isolation across iterations for better code reliability.

Resizing an image is typically 4x-5x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings due to its use of libvips.

Building an app that works is one thing. Building an app that keeps working as it grows is another.

Adaptive Warehouses maximize efficiency by simplifying resource management and allow organizations to focus on data analysis rather than compute costs.

The Enterprise Data Integration Platform on AWS Cloud has transformed organizations' capacity to leverage information assets despite challenges of fragmented data ecosystems.

One of the major challenges web designers face is ensuring that websites function seamlessly across various browsers, as each may interpret code differently.

Rust does not provide a built-in method to find the position of an element in a slice, but this can be implemented easily and efficiently.

The performance results demonstrate that complexity almost doubles with each additional level of nested state; by level 10, you're spending roughly 50x more resources processing actions.

My approach was to create a load-testing framework that is flexible enough to handle the unique challenges of game development—from custom protocols to complex interactions in large-scale simulations.

The gap of roughly 5% slower than the C-based dav1d might not seem huge, but it's significant enough to deter potential users and adopters.

Uno Platform 6.0 introduces a unified rendering engine, Skia, offering significant performance benefits like a 75% smaller footprint and 60% faster startup.

I am right and they are wrong. There is no reason to not shut down your computer, at the very least, at the end of the day, and boot it up fresh the next morning.
