I think I finally figured out the trick to the thermal paste, making sure it doesn’t get pushed off the CPU die. Experimenting some more after the last article, I made a square O-ring shaped buffer out of layered clear tape, sitting on the CPU.

Earlier today, Wylsacom uploaded a YouTube video unboxing what appears to be the next generation M5 iPad Pro, before Apple ever even announced it. This is not only an unreleased product, but also has an unreleased Apple Silicon chip in it – the M5. . (Source: Эксклюзив!

It’s interesting to compare the tech specs of the A19 Pro and M1 chip, as they are so close yet far apart.

Much like when I made the change from an M1 Pro MBP to an M4 Air, the thought of an upgrade was interesting but not necessarily something I was looking for, even if open to the idea.

For a long time now, PostgreSQL has had an extensible Index Access Method API (called AM), which has stood the test of time and enabled numerous robust extensions to provide their own index types. For example: rum, pgvector, bloom, zombodb and others. PostgreSQL 12 introduced the Table AM API, promising equivalent flexibility for table access methods.| OrioleDB Blog

I have been scratching my head about MySQL startup for some time. There is much to say about this, and many other posts will probably follow. For now, it is enough to know that with many tables (millions) the startup of MySQL 8.0+ (including 8.0, 8.4 and 9.0) is suboptimal (to say the least). With very little changes, I was able to speed it up, from 2:39 to 1:09 (1 minute and 9| J-F Gagné's MySQL Blog

Optimizing code can be a difficult task because there are so many traps you need to avoid at every step of the way. Today I want to focus on one of the (numerous) benchmarking traps, which you may have run into, and that I myself encounter regularly. Let’s imagine you are trying to optimize code, and you notice the use of a value.pow(2f). One obvious way to optimize this is to replace the function call with a multiplication (value * value), but is it worth it? Since you are a diligent engin...| Romain Guy
