Datadog this week significantly extended the reach of its Bits artificial intelligence (AI) framework to enable DevOps teams to automatically discover and resolve issues based on the telemetry data collected by its observability platform.Announced at the company’s DASH 2026 conference, Datadog is now embedding an AI coding tool, dubbed Bits Code, across its entire portfolio that proposes remediations and generates the code to resolve issues based on the data residing in the Datadog observability platform.There is also a Bits Release agent that verifies every code change by analyzing the intended impact of the change, including generating a validation plan, running…

I’m just hearing about the closedby=”any” attribute/value for <dialog>. HTML popovers have this “light dismiss” behavior where you can “click outside” to close them, but not dialogs (until this). I forked a previous demo to try it and it works great (in Chrome & Firefox, just waiting for Safari). I’ve been using a custom <ClickOutsideDetector /> element for ages, so this is a welcome feature.

While wandering around the documentation looking for some Question of the Day topics, I learned something new about the money data type. This post discusses what I learned.Another post for me that is simple and hopefully serves as an example for people trying to get blogging as #SQLNewBloggers.The Money TypeDid you know that you can add a currency symbol to the money data type for assignment? I didn’t. This isn’t in the documentation, but it’s something I need to submit as a PR.In any case, I can assign money like this:DECLARE @YenAmount MONEY; SET @YenAmount = ¥1500; SELECT @YenAmount AS…
I was a big fan of Coil back when it existed. The surface story of Coil was it was a browser extension you could install and you’d hook it up to an “online wallet” (with currency in it). Then websites could put a (or ?) tag on their website that was essentially a public key to their online wallet. You’d tell Coil how much money you were good for and it would sprinkle out your funds automatically to sites you visited that had this set up. It was a little “thanks for making a website that I visit, here’s a…
I had this (bad) idea. It’s related to popovers and anchor-positioned menus. I love this pairing: with only HTML and CSS we can make a button that opens/closes anything we want. A tooltip or a menu is a wonderful use-case. This isn’t a terribly difficult thing to do, but, you have to remember a bunch of stuff and put certain unique values on certain elements exactly. Remember the right command attribute value on the button Put a unique id on the menu. Match up the commandfor attribute on the button to that id. Make sure the button has an unique…
Turning continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines into emissions‑controlled workloads is a strategy businesses adopt to reduce the carbon footprint of their pipelines. This article examines how a Carbon-Aware DevOps strategy can help optimize CI/CD pipelines for sustainability by reducing their carbon footprint while also decreasing costs and meeting the increasing demand for innovative, eco-friendly solutions. Understanding the Problem Today’s organizations take advantage of CI/CD pipelines to streamline and accelerate their software delivery. However, these CI/CD pipelines can become a hindrance to sustainability because of the resources required to create, build, test and ultimately deploy software into production. Typically, CI/CD pipelines run…
Safari has support for where a normal ☑️ checkbox turns into a toggle. You don’t strictly need the browser support to get the look, as it’s weirdly easy to replicate (based on idea from Richard Keizer). But Thomas Steiner has a more comprehensive polyfill if you want it to behave more exactly correctly, respecting writing-mode and accent-color and such.
There’s a element in HTML now. Looks like Chrome led it up and got it into Chrome first. Now we’re in the ol’ 🤷♀️ state on when we’ll get it elsewhere. But the process certainly involved other browser makers, so that’s good. Manuel Matuzović has a good intro blog post. The element doesn’t behave right within an so embedding a demo here doesn’t make sense. You can see a small demo here, and the code is here. Here’s what I think you should know: It’s a with an enforced design. It’s got a map icon and text that says “Use…
Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.123 on June 3, expanding its AI-assisted development capabilities with features that reflect the editor’s direction: toward a more agentic, context-aware workflow.The update is relatively focused, but several additions stand out to developers who rely on Copilot and other AI models day to day.A Million-Token Context WindowOne of the headline changes is support for 1-million-token context windows for compatible models from Anthropic and OpenAI, including Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5. That’s a meaningful jump. Larger context lets you work with larger codebases and longer conversations without the model losing track of what came before.There’s a…
Josh Tumath: Have you ever noticed that when you increase the system text size in your iOS or Android phone’s accessibility settings, the text gets bigger everywhere except on the web? On Safari and Chrome, it makes absolutely no difference. New thing: This isn’t page zoom, which scales everything, it’s just respects the text-only scale settings from the system itself. Great idea. I’ll definitely be playing with this.
