Microsoft has launched Visual Studio Code 1.93, a highly anticipated update to the popular code editor, packed with exciting new features to enhance the developer experience. One of the standout features in this release is the Profiles editor, which offers a unified interface for managing and switching between user profiles. This functionality streamlines the process of configuring and personalizing the development environment, allowing users to create, edit, delete, import, and export profiles all from a single location. With this feature, developers can now easily switch between different setups, making it more efficient to work on various projects or teams with…

Vue 3.5, a significant update to the widely-used JavaScript framework, brings notable improvements to its reactivity system, enhancing both performance and memory efficiency. This minor release, announced on September 1, promises better performance without introducing any breaking changes, making it easier for developers to adopt. The most significant upgrade in this release is the reactivity system’s refactor, which results in a remarkable 56% reduction in memory usage while improving the overall speed and reliability of Vue applications. In addition to memory optimizations, Vue 3.5 addresses long-standing issues that developers have encountered during server-side rendering (SSR). One of the key fixes…

In a previous Java 101 tutorial, we explored how to improve code organization by declaring reference types—such as classes and interfaces—as members of other reference types and blocks. I also demonstrated how nesting can help avoid name conflicts between nested reference types and top-level types that share the same name. But Java offers even more tools to further organize and simplify your code: packages and static imports. These features are essential for managing large codebases and ensuring that your code remains clear and maintainable. In this tutorial, we’ll dive into how packages and static imports can make your Java programs…

After much anticipation and delay, Microsoft is edging closer to the release of its Windows Copilot Runtime with the arrival of a developer preview for the Arm build of its DirectML AI tool. While still not fully production-ready, this release provides a valuable opportunity for developers to start experimenting with local AI applications, particularly for the Copilot+ PCs equipped with Qualcomm Hexagon neural processing units (NPUs). This move signals that the integration of AI into the edge computing space is rapidly approaching, although there are still some challenges to overcome. Bringing AI capabilities to the edge requires specialized hardware accelerators,…

In the spring of 2020, the question of what exactly “software supply chain security” meant was something that weighed heavily on me. At the time, I was working at In-Q-Tel, a strategic investor for the US intelligence community, and was co-authoring a research paper aimed at measuring the frequency of software supply chain attacks. For our paper, we decided on a definition that focused on the distribution of malicious software through existing channels. This seemed like a clear and logical approach, given the nature of attacks we were investigating. However, almost immediately after the paper was published, we found that…

Generative AI is rapidly reshaping the landscape of software development, but it’s clear that it also introduces a new set of challenges that are fundamentally different from the errors human programmers typically make. Unlike traditional programming mistakes, AI-generated errors can be more abstract or unpredictable, and they don’t always follow the patterns that experienced developers are used to recognizing. Despite this, many enterprise plans to address these AI-driven coding errors still rely heavily on experienced human programmers to fix them. This approach, however, is not without its flaws and could lead to significant issues down the line, as the nature…

Angular 19, the upcoming version of the widely used TypeScript-based web framework, is set to introduce a major shift in how components, directives, and pipes are created. With this update, the standalone: true flag will become the default for these building blocks, marking a move away from the traditional use of NgModules. This change simplifies the development process by eliminating the need to explicitly declare standalone: true in each component, providing a more streamlined approach for developers. The standalone feature was first introduced in Angular 14 as part of a developer preview in June 2022. This feature allowed developers to…

For years, PostgreSQL has quietly stood out as one of the most reliable and feature-rich relational databases in both the enterprise and open-source communities. While MySQL may have a more widespread name recognition, PostgreSQL offers many advanced capabilities that MySQL has only started to incorporate in recent years. PostgreSQL’s reputation for stability, scalability, and its extensive support for complex data types and operations has made it a top choice for developers and companies looking for a powerful database solution. This guide is designed to walk you through the process of setting up a basic PostgreSQL installation, particularly focusing on the…

Evolving the foundational protocols that power the internet is no small task, and the introduction of HTTP/3 is no exception. Built on the QUIC protocol, this next-generation web standard promises significant improvements in both performance and security. For web application developers, understanding HTTP/3’s design and benefits is crucial as it marks a new phase in how web traffic is handled. With a focus on faster, safer, and more reliable communication, HTTP/3 seeks to address challenges that previous protocols have struggled with. At its core, HTTP/3 aims to build upon the goals of its predecessor, HTTP/2—namely, enhancing speed, security, and simplicity.…

Qt Group is progressing with the development of Qt/.NET, a new toolkit aimed at improving interoperability between C++ and Microsoft’s .NET platform. The toolkit, designed to facilitate seamless communication between the two technologies, promises to enhance the way C++ and .NET developers can work together on projects. The core of the toolkit is a custom native host based on Qt, which manages assemblies and provides an adapter module that bridges the gap between native and managed code. This setup allows for instance method invocation, event notification, and object-lifecycle management, according to Qt’s August 30 blog post. One of the key…
