React libraries typically separate their core logic from the React-specific binding, using the Context API for integration. They rely on the Observer pattern to notify React of state changes, often using useSyncExternalStore for synchronization. React 19 introduces new hooks like useOptimistic and useFormStatus, which will possibly simplify some libraries in the future.
ESLint v9 introduces a new flat configuration system that replaces the traditional .eslintrc files, requiring explicit plugin imports and structured rule definitions. Migrating involves updating dependencies, using the official migration tool (which may need manual adjustments), and restructuring the configuration to align with the new format.
A recent incident where malicious code was injected into an action via tag modification, potentially exposing secrets, showed the risk of using mutable Git tags in GitHub Actions workflows. Instead of relying on mutable tags like `v2`, it's safer to use immutable commit IDs to make sure the same code runs consistently. This article provides a shell script to identify all the GitHub Actions used in their repositories for security auditing.
A web dev on Reddit is experiencing back pain from coding. Many commenters suggest weightlifting to strengthen back muscles and improve posture. Other recommendations include using a standing desk or ergonomic chair and adjusting monitor height for better alignment. Devs should take regular breaks to move around and stretch regularly.
Go's multiple return values create unnecessary complexity because they aren't true tuple types, making it harder to store and pass function results. This design choice negatively affects error handling, concurrency, and generic programming, leading to workarounds like defining custom structs. A better approach would have been using proper tuple types, which could improve Go's consistency without breaking backward compatibility.
There's a plateau in creativity within the data visualization field, especially in interactive web graphics. The early 2010s had lots of innovation driven by technologies like D3.js. Factors contributing to this plateau include the dominance of mobile consumption, the demand for quick and easily digestible content, and a decreased investment in bespoke visualizations due to economic pressures.

White-box redteaming is when AI models seem to "scream" or express distress while being pushed to generate harmful outputs. Despite acknowledging the small size and potential lack of consciousness in these models, it's concerning for implications for larger, more advanced AI systems. It feels weird to cause AI pain, even if necessary for safety.
Frustrated with the STL's compile times and limitations, this developer aimed to create a smaller, more manageable alternative inspired by the Python stdlib. He created pystd, which contains under 1,000 lines of code - it compiles much faster than the STL equivalent. A key feature of pystd is its perfect ABI stability achieved through yearly releases with separate namespaces, allowing developers to update at their own pace and maintain compatibility with older code.
Non-volatile storage has evolved from tape drives to hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). While tape storage is cost-effective for large-scale archiving, HDDs and SSDs provide faster access speeds, with SSDs eliminating mechanical components for lower latency. Cloud computing introduced network-attached storage, which is scalable, but introduces latency and IOPS limitations compared to directly attached storage. PlanetScale Metal is a hybrid that uses directly-attached NVMe SSDs in a replicated Vitess+MySQL cluster to overcome the shortcomings of network-attached storage.
Avoid string concatenation for complex strings and use templates instead to improve readability, maintainability, and translatability in your code.

Google's search engine is one of the most profitable technologies ever developed, and there's little evidence that this is changing, but the company is acting with urgency, focusing on generative AI efforts. Multiple independent web publishers say their traffic has been falling as Google's AI overviews present information directly on Google's own results pages. The relationship between Google and publishers is tense - Google is framing it as a broad conversation about the changing nature of search. Big changes are coming to Search, and the web may never be the same.
23andMe has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy and has asked a court to arrange its sale. The company's entire board resigned back in September due to a conflict between its board about future directions - the company has been losing money for years. There is enough funding to continue operations until a buyer is found. The pending sale has raised significant privacy concerns. The US prevents the use of genetic data for use in health insurance and employment decisions, but plenty of other uses are still legal, and customers outside of the US may have far fewer protections.
Eli Lilly expects to unveil data from several late-stage clinical trials on its experimental once-daily obesity pill this year. Orforglipron is predicted to be as effective, safe, and tolerable to take as semaglutide. The pill targets GLP-1 to suppress appetite and regulate blood sugar. It is unclear whether the pill will have a hefty price similar to current GLP-1 injections, which cost roughly $1,000 per month. The pill could receive US regulatory approval as soon as early 2026.
Scientists at Yale have developed a series of sophisticated mouse models using CRISPR technology that can simultaneously assess genetic interactions on a host of immunological responses to multiple diseases, including cancer. The new tool, CRISPR-Cas12a, can induce and track changes in a variety of immune system cells in response to gene editing and fine-tune sets of genes in different directions simultaneously. It enables the rapid generation of new disease and treatment models. The tool will be valuable to researchers creating therapies for a host of pathologies, including cancer, metabolic disease, autoimmune disease, and neurological disorders.

A job recruiter accidentally included their secret internal selection guidelines when contacting a potential job candidate. The guidelines listed specific educational institutions candidates must have attended, types of candidates to avoid (visa candidates, job hoppers, graduates from coding boot camps, people with experience limited to big companies, and more), and other qualifications. The listing disqualified candidates who have ever worked at Intel, Cisco, HP, Dell, Capgemini, and several other companies. The listing indicates that top-tier CS schools are the primary path to early career jobs right now.
Claude Plays Pokémon has been struggling to make consistent progress in Pokémon, but even this sub-human level of performance could hold significant lessons for the quest toward artificial general intelligence. The AI model has been struggling to interpret the game's pixelated world as well as a human would, but it performs better in the text-based portions of the game. It has trouble remembering some of the information that it has learned and making sense of what it knows, sometimes inserting incorrect information into its knowledge base. The system's progress can vary quite a bit between runs. There are some signs it can tell when it doesn't know what it is doing and that it needs to be doing something different.
Apple made a series of strategic blunders with regard to Apple TV+. The company clearly thought it could use its clout to bully its way into making massive Hollywood hits, but the move was miscalculated - even the marketing was bad. Netflix is the only real tech company that has bent Hollywood to its will and that's largely because it had a great strategy from the beginning and stuck to it, while also being malleable enough as needed. Expectations and strategy have seemingly reset within Apple - the company is now changing to meet the market it arrogantly walked into.
The latest version of DeepSeek's new v3 model, DeepSeek-V3-0324, is under a new MIT license - the release adds up to a total of 641 GB of files.
