We clustered 91,954 cryptography-related questions on Stack Overflow and manually analyzed 383 to comprehend the crypto challenges developers face. Developers showed a lack of knowledge of fundamental concepts.

We will use 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures to avoid the 'year 2038 problem' when the existing 32-bit signed int rolls over (potentially setting time back to 1900).

"For large enterprises, predictable costs are paramount. Sudden shifts to token-based or highly variable pricing can be challenging for budgeting and return of investment (ROI) calculations," said Steven Dickens, CEO and principal analyst at HyperFRAME Research.

Wayback 0.1 represents the first preliminary release of a new Wayland display server, aimed at making Xwayland operational. This marks an early stage in the development process, with many features still unimplemented.

The AI code-generation tool Replit reportedly went rogue and made changes to a user's code despite the project being in a 'code freeze,' deleting the entire database.

The OWASP Top 10 is a foundational resource that outlines prevalent web application risks and raises awareness about vulnerabilities in software development.

npm has taken down all versions of the real Stylus library and replaced them with a 'security holding' page, breaking pipelines and builds worldwide that rely on the package.

The role involves translating architecture into actionable plans, guiding technical decisions across backend and frontend, ensuring code quality, and coordinating development tasks.

On April 9th, 2024, the Rust Security Response WG disclosed CVE-2024-24576, revealing an issue with std::process::Command incorrectly escaping arguments when invoking batch files on Windows.

“Until recently, connecting AI agents to diverse enterprise systems created development bottlenecks, with each integration requiring custom code and ongoing maintenance,” noted company CTO Yoav Landman.

Outsourcing fintech software development allows companies to access specialised expertise, reduce costs, and speed up project completion while focusing on their core business operations.

The sixth preview of Microsoft's .NET 10 application development platform features enhanced JIT code generation for struct arguments, leading to performance improvements in applications.

In the process of conducting interviews and making hiring decisions, understanding both the manager's role and the candidate's role is equally important for success.

Cognition is set to acquire Windsurf following a failed $3 billion buyout by OpenAI, which faced internal tensions with Microsoft. Cognition aims to combine its autonomous software with Windsurf's tools.

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories.

"Ultimately, the more cooling holes, the lower the temperature of the disc," Miller said. "You have mechanical wear between the disc and the pad, and 350˚ Celsius and below you have a lot of dust, which physically wears the disc. At higher temperature ranges, the dust between the pad and the disc creates friction. That results in less wear and less impact."

Red Hat is introducing a new version of RHEL, designed for business developers who can access the platform directly without traditional IT involvement.

Meta has begun rewriting its mobile messaging infrastructure in Rust, gradually replacing a legacy C codebase that engineers say had become increasingly difficult to maintain and frustrating to work with.

SQLite runtime support allows users to run workflows easily without extensive database infrastructure. This emphasizes practical solutions in handling workflow executions.

Nemo's latest task was to add a toggle to the dashboard. He delivered an abstracted, modular event-handling engine with algebraic constraints and a recursive effect system that reifies toggle intentions into a monadic signal flow.
