Firefox on Linux has long been focused on the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) that isn't universally supported by Linux graphics drivers. This has left to efforts like NVIDIA-VAAPI-Driver to layer VA-API atop NVIDIA NVDEC interfaces to enjoy GPU-accelerated video playback in Firefox.

Pyro Caml Continuous Profiler for OCaml

The core SAST engine of Semgrep is written in OCaml. There are a lot of good technical and historical reasons for this that I’ll leave for another time. An important consequence of using a language with a (relatively) small ecosystem like OCaml is that there aren’t a lot of libraries for things like observability, which are critical for running industrial software like Semgrep on hundreds of thousands of code repositories, and keeping it both reliable and performant.

Microsoft Build: Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, Coreutils for Windows, air-gapped GitHub and more

Microsoft’s Build event is under way in San Francisco, USA, with the expected focus on agentic AI but also a few surprises, such as Unix-style Coreutils for Windows.

Do You Actually Need to Pay for Transcription Software?

I'm constantly seeing ads for Wispr Flow, an AI-powered transcription tool. The pitch—that you'll be able to write faster by talking out loud instead of typing—is compelling, especially if you're a slow typist.
