This article traces their history, why they emerged, and how they became a standard in modern software development. If you use GitHub or GitLab today, merge queues feel like a built-in feature of modern development. But their story goes back over a decade, long before "merge queue" was a product term.

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes inserted inside the brain to simultaneously record the activity of more than half a million neurons distributed across 95 percent of the rodents’ brain volume.

I solved a distributed queue problem after 15 years

When I was responsible for the infrastructure at Reddit, the most important thing I maintained was Postgres, but a close second was RabbitMQ, our message broker. It was essential to the operation of reddit — everything went into a distributed queue before it went to a database. For example, if you upvoted a post, that was written to the queue and the cache, and then returned success to the user. Then a queue runner would take that item, and attempt to write it to the database as well as create a

A majority of people across the EU’s five biggest member states believe the European Commission sold citizens out when negotiating a “humiliating” tariff deal with Donald Trump that “benefits the US” far more than Europe, a survey has shown. The poll, by Cluster17 for the European affairs debate platform Le Grand Continent, found 77% of respondents – ranging from 89% in France to 50% in Poland – thought the deal would benefit above all the US economy, with only 2% believing it would benefit Eur

The race to build a distributed GPU runtime

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 08:18:47

For a decade, GPUs have delivered breathtaking data processing speedups. However, data is growing far beyond the capacity of a single GPU server. When your work drifts beyond GPU local memory or VRAM (e.g., HBM and GDDR), hidden costs of inefficiencies show up: spilling to host, shuffling over networks, and idling accelerators. Before jumping straight into the latest distributed computing effort underway at NVIDIA and AMD, let’s quickly level set on what distributed computing is, how it works, a

Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years.
