Neon Now Runs in VS Code

Developers love using Neon branches for a local development, due to the agility they provide (e.g. fast resets, isolated environments, and the ability to test without polluting production data). But using Neon branches still requires you to manage separate connection strings for different branches and ensure your application and its environment is properly set up to connect. Today, that gets a lot easier, especially if you’re a VS Code user! We’re launching Neon Local Connect, a new VS Code ext

Understand CPU Branch Instructions Better

Branch instructions are the primary means by which a program running on a CPU makes a decision. This post is part of a series of posts on CPU performance, as part of the Pointer Wars: Linked List Edition challenge. This challenge is great for undergraduates, graduate students, and new engineers who want feedback about writing high performance C or C++ code. Much more info here. The Sequential Execution Model and Branch Instructions Programs written to execute on a CPU follow something called
