The state of CI platforms is much stronger than it was just a few years ago. Overall, this is a good thing: access to powerful CI platforms enables software developers and companies to ship more reliable software more frequently, which benefits its users/customers. Centralized CI platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab Pipelines, and Bitbucket provide benefits of scale, as the Internet serves as a collective information repository for how to use them.

The joy of recursion, immutable data, & pure functions: Making mazes with JS

news.ycombinator.com James Sinclair 2025-11-12 09:57:30

This post is based on a talk I presented at Web Directions Summit, 2024. Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room. Why the heck am I talking about making mazes? Normally, I try to be practical when I’m writing or speaking. I want to give people tools they can use to make their coding lives better. So, I try to discuss things like creating DOM elements and processing JSON data. Because those things are practical. I would rather not waste people’s time on things they’re not going to us

One of Tigris's standout capabilities is its performance when storing and retrieving small objects. To quantify this advantage, we benchmarked Tigris against two popular object stores—AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2—and found that Tigris consistently delivers higher throughput and lower latency. These gains let you use a single store for everything from tiny payloads to multi-gigabyte blobs without sacrificing efficiency.

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust. These hallucinations occur when AI presents false information as fact. The damage extends beyond technical failures, as user trust erodes, brand reputations suffer, and ethical questions multiply.

While the “FE” moniker, short for Fan Edition, often signifies a lower price point in exchange for some compromises on features, the new Galaxy Buds 3 FE actually beats Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in a couple of key areas, and one of those battlegrounds is battery life.
