My intern project at Slack this summer involved…
In November, we experienced one incident that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.
Design tokens are design decisions as data and serve as a single source of truth for design and engineering. Utilizing deployment pipelines, they enable automated code generation across platforms, allowing for faster updates and improved consistency in design. Organizing tokens in layers—progressing from available options to tokens that capture how they are applied—ensures scalability and a better
We released a new open source byte-pair tokenizer that is faster and more flexible than popular alternatives.
How do you take a mixed reality (MR) headset from idea to finished product? Alfred Jones, VP of hardware engineering at Meta Reality Labs, joins Pascal Hartig (@passy) on the latest episode of the Meta Tech Podcast for a discussion on the realities (no pun intended) of building MR hardware. Jones shares his strategy for […]
To compete with other payment methods for consumer preference, real-time payments are expanding their “bundle” of services to include subscriptions, credit, and in-person transactions.
