Autonomous attackers are shrinking the window for defense. Learn how continuous discovery, remediation, validation, and prevention can help security teams keep pace.
Rate limiting is a roadblock, not a speed limit (opens on the source site)
Rate limiting sounds like a speed limit, but 93.7% of rate-limited sites block on the very first request. It is an identity check, not a throttle.
Speed Insights deprecates First Input Delay on November 1st (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
Speed Insights is deprecating First Input Delay (FID) and will stop recording new measurements on November 1st. Speed Insights already uses Interaction to Next Paint (INP), the Core Web Vital that replaced FID, as the responsiveness metric in your Real Experience Score. The deprecation won’t require changes on your side, affect your score, or prevent you from viewing existing FID data. Learn more in the Speed Insights metrics documentation. Read more

Give up a little speed, get your team back (opens on the source site)
Agentic speed turned all of us into super-ICs and broke our ability to collaborate. Two types of work that both produce code, and three recipes for working together again: a safe perimeter for experiments, shared rules everybody pays for, and an intent log your agents write themselves.

Speed Insights now has a free tier that gives you a high-level performance overview from your real users. The new free tier: Is available on every plan, for any number of projects Includes 10,000 events per team, every 30 days Install Speed Insights: npm install @vercel/speed-insights Install Speed Insights via the CLI Previously, free Speed Insights was limited to a single project on Hobby, and upgrading to Pro meant losing access unless you paid for the add-on. Now your free tier carries over, and you only pay if you upgrade. The paid product, now called Speed Insights Plus, includes deeper…
Securing Software at the Speed of AI (opens on the source site)
Palantir ·
Lessons from building an agentic software security strategy at PalantirIntroductionPalantir’s Product Security Team began experimenting with agentic AI across a variety of security workflows over a year ago. By the time Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, we were already using an internal multi-agent review harness with AI security agents focused on different areas of security expertise. Anthropic’s Mythos model and OpenAI’s cyber program helped to accelerate that work.Today, our team has operating capabilities for multi-agent source-code review, analyst-directed vulnerability hunting,…
Relative velocity and closing speed (opens on the source site)
In Physics simulations or game engines it’s sometimes useful to determine the speed with which two objects are approaching each other. This post will discuss the concept of closing speed, which is the normal component of the relative velocity of two objects. Relative velocity and its components Suppose we …

How to fix osm2pgrouting error ‘relation “__waysXXXX” does not exist’ and speed up the import (opens on the source site)
I don’t seem to have time or energy for long posts these days, but here’s another quick post which might save you some time and frustration. Recently, I’ve been trying to import OpenStreetMap data into a PostGIS database to use with pgRouting. I wanted to import data for the whole of England – which has […]
Speed Up Your Rails App by Squashing N+1 Queries (opens on the source site)
N+1 queries are one of the most common performance killers in Rails apps, but also one of the easiest to fix. In this post, we'll see how a single line of code can reduce 1,101 database queries down to 3. N+1s occur in rails when you have associated ActiveRecord models, and iterate over one model while accessing fields on the associated records. This might be easier to explain with an example. Let's say you have the following ActiveRecord models: class Author ApplicationRecord has_many :posts end class Post ApplicationRecord belongs_to :author has_many :tags end class Tag ApplicationRecord…
Speed with Rigor: testing smarter with group sequential design (opens on the source site)
OLX ·
generated by chatgptIntroductionIn the world of A/B testing and experimentation, it’s tempting to check results frequently and stop tests earlier if they seem significant (a practice known as peeking). However, this practice dramatically inflates the false positive rate, leading to misleading conclusions.Imagine you’re running an A/B test, and after just 10 days, the results look like a clear win. You might be tempted to end the experiment early and move forward with the release of the new feature. After all, why wait another two weeks as originally planned? But here’s the catch: the more…
Boost File Scanning Speed: Query File Attributes on Windows 50x Faster (opens on the source site)
Imagine you’re developing a tool that needs to scan for file changes across thousands of project files. Retrieving file attributes efficiently becomes critical for such scenarios. In this article, I’ll demonstrate a technique to get file attributes that can achieve a surprising speedup of over 50+ times compared to standard Windows methods. Let’s dive in and explore how we can achieve this. Inspiration & Disclaimer The inspiration for this article came from a recent update for Visual Assist - a tool that heavily improves Visual Studio experience and productivity for C# and C++ developers. In…
