Text Classification Intuition for Software Developers
Large language models can solve various language tasks, like classifying text into different labels. In this post, we look at two examples of Classification.
EcoStruxure IT helps you mitigate and anticipate risk of failure of critical infrastructure and reduce operational expenses through a vendor-agnostic platform
Modern language environments make it easy to discover and incorporate
externally written libraries into a program. These same mechanisms can
also make it easy to inadvertently incorporate security vulnerabilities or
overtly malicious code, which is rather less gratifying. The stream of
resulting vulnerabilities seems like it will
never end, and it afflicts relatively safe
languages like Rust just as much as any other language. In an effort
to avoid the embarrassment that comes with shipping vulnerabilities (or
worse) by way of its dependencies, the Mozilla project has come up with a new supply-chain management tool known as
"cargo vet".
Toward a lexicon for advertising in both directions
We need a lexicon for the different ways buyers and sellers express their intentions to each other. Or, one might say, advertise. On the demand side (⊂) we have what in ProjectVRM we’ve calle…
the hard problem: naming functions and other gizmos
The previous post discussed the subtle arts of naming things and not repeating yourself--and now I want to extend its observations beyond functions.
That post teased out 3 intuitions about writing lower-churn code:
Discover how GitHub thinks about browser support, look at usage patterns, and learn about the tools we use to make sure our customers are getting the best experience.
Developer Velocity Lab (DVL) is a joint effort between GitHub, Microsoft, and Microsoft Research, whose mission is to discover, improve, and amplify developer work and well-being. We do this through socio-technical investigations in the following focus areas: Productivity, Community, Well-being
The SPACE of Developer Productivity: There's more to it than you think - Microsoft Research
Developer productivity is about more than an individual’s activity levels or the efficiency of the engineering systems relied on to ship software, and it cannot be measured by a single metric or dimension. The SPACE framework captures different dimensions of productivity, and here we demonstrate how this framework can be used to understand productivity in […]
Initially used for simple metadata, HTTP headers now play an important role in the vast field that web security is. Setting up HTTP security headers is the quickest, less expensive, and probably the most effective way to secure a web application today. Here is how. But first, you may be

In a combined storage and filesystem session at the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM), Luis Chamberlain
and James Bottomley led a discussion about the use of ioctl()
as a mechanism for configuration. There are plenty of downsides to the use
of ioctl() commands, and alternatives exist, but in general kernel
developers have chosen to continue using this multiplexing system
call. While there is interest in changing things, at least in some
quarters, the discussion did not seem to indicate major changes on the horizon.
We are excited to announce SCIP, a new indexing format that we are using at Sourcegraph to index programming languages to power code navigation features such as "Go to definition" and "Find references."
