InfluxDB’s new model for time series workloads
At the heart of this shift is our embedded Python Processing Engine. It runs directly inside the database, allowing developers to write custom Python that executes next to the data. The benefit? No extra infrastructure or external VMs. No network latency. No waiting. What was once a storage layer becomes an active, real-time engine for […]

The tough task of making AI code production-ready
Second, integrate quality checks into your pipeline. Static analysis, linting, and security scanning should be non-negotiable parts of continuous integration whenever AI code is introduced. Many continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) can run suites like SonarQube, ESLint, Bandit, or Snyk on each commit. Enable those checks for all code, […]

Google I/O 2025: The most important new launches
Particularly exciting is “Deep Search,” a function that takes over complex searches and analyzes, compares and merges multiple sources. “Search Live,” on the other hand, enables real-time information searches: if you point your smartphone camera at a building, for example, Google Search immediately provides information on its history, architectural style and opening hours. Gmail also […]

What is 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet)?
1000BASE-T is a Gigabit Ethernet standard that operates at a speed of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) over copper wiring. One Gb is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). The standard uses four pairs of Category 5 (Cat5) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cables to achieve the gigabit data rate. The “T” […]

Rust 1.87 shines on anonymous pipes, architecture intrinsics
Rust 1.87 also brings more safety to architecture intrinsics. Most std::arch intrinsics that are unsafe due to requiring target features to be enabled now are callable in safe code that has those features enabled, the Rust team said. The team provided an example of a toy program that implements summing an array using manual intrinsics […]

What is shielded twisted pair (STP) and how does it work?
Shielded twisted pair (STP) is a kind of cable made up of smaller wires where each small pair of wires is twisted together and has an outer coating to electrically shield it. STP is used for telephone and local area network (LAN) wiring. Shielded means it has an outer covering or shield that functions as […]
