By Leela KumiliPresentation: Write-Ahead Intent Log: A Foundation for Efficient CDC at Scale
Vinay Chella and Akshat Goel discuss the challenges of running traditional CDC across heterogeneous databases during peak order traffic.

By Daniel CurtisVS Code 1.123 Adds Two-Hour Extension Update Delay to Limit Supply Chain Attacks
VS Code 1.123 adds a two-hour delay before auto-updating extensions to newly published versions, creating a revocation window against supply chain attacks. The delay does not apply to trusted publishers like Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI. Similar cooldown mechanisms have now spread across pip, RubyGems, npm, pnpm, Yarn, and Bun.
