On January 1, 2026, GitHub will reduce the price of GitHub-hosted runners by up to 39% depending on the machine type used. The free usage minute quotas will remain the same.

On March 1, 2026, GitHub will introduce a new $0.002 per minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage. Any usage subject to this charge will count toward the minutes included in your plan, as explained in our GitHub Actions billing documentation.

Runner usage in public repositories will remain free. There will be no changes in price structure for GitHub Enterprise Server customers.

We are increasing our investment into our self-hosted experience to ensure that we can provide autoscaling for scenarios beyond just Linux containers.

Historically, self-hosted runner customers were able to leverage much of GitHub Actions’ infrastructure and services at no cost.

 

This talk focuses on that evil little term “UX/UI,” which is responsible for so much confusion and tension in open-source projects. Not only does it unnecessarily pit programmers against designers, but it also limits our vision of what we could be doing.

In this talk, Scott Jenson gives examples of how focusing on UX -- instead of UI -- frees us to think bigger. This is especially true for the desktop, where the user experience has so much potential to grow well beyond its current interaction models. The desktop UX is certainly not dead, and this talk suggests some future directions we could take.

Scott Jenson has been a leader in UX design and strategic planning for over 35 years. He was the first member of Apple’s Human Interface group in the late '80s, and has since held key roles at several major tech companies. He served as Director of Product Design for Symbian in London, managed Mobile UX design at Google, and was Creative Director at frog design in San Francisco. He returned to Google to do UX research for Android and is now a UX strategist in the open-source community for Mastodon and Home Assistant.

They present a bit of history, terminology, and current and alternative approaches to human interfaces.

 

about the new and interesting changes and additions in .NET networking space. This time, we are writing about HTTP improvements, new web sockets APIs, security changes and many distinct additions in networking primitives.

 

It is with great pleasure that we announce the new Jenkins Bug Bounty Program! The European Commission (EC OSPO) has partnered with YesWeHack to launch bug bounty programs for several open source projects. The Jenkins project was selected as a valuable asset for public administration across the European Union.

  • Initial scope: Jenkins Core and its main components, and four plugins related to security
  • Reward: Up to €5,000 for valid critical findings!
  • Platform: Jenkins Bug Bounty Program on YesWeHack
  • Funding: European Commission

This proposal is an early design sketch by Blink Layout Team in Google to describe the problem below and solicit feedback on the proposed solution. It has not been approved to ship in Chrome.

Let’s walk through why that history powers Visual Studio and why changing a shortcut like Ctrl+W is such a challenge.

This is about them changing keyboard shortcuts [defaults], not the user changing their keyboard shortcuts.

This walked you through the process we followed to map Ctrl+W to close the current tab in Visual Studio 2026. For C# profile users, we held off on this change to avoid disrupting existing workflows, especially given potential conflicts with sequenced shortcuts. If you’re using the C# profile and want Ctrl+W to close tabs, you can easily set it up yourself in the keybinding settings.

 

AI models have a knowledge cutoff and do not have access to your personal or company data by default.

While context engineering is a broader topic, this post will focus on enabling access to high-quality data through data ingestion pipelines.

… we’re excited to announce the preview release of data ingestion building blocks for .NET.

… how these building blocks empower the .NET ecosystem to build composable data ingestion pipelines for their AI applications.

 

Over the past week, we've identified and tracked an unprecedented 23 extensions which copy other popular extensions, update after publishing with malware, manipulate download counts, and use KNOWN attack signatures which have been in use for months. Many of these relate to Glassworm malware, but there could be mulitple campaigns at work also.

Sharing, because I had to look up Abstract Wikipedia

Abstract Wikipedia is an in-development project of the Wikimedia Foundation. It aims to use Wikifunctions to create a language-independent version of Wikipedia using its structured data.

Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…

After months of pressure and trying to silence internal criticism.

I had to look it up to make sure "months of" is correct. Wikipedia has the infos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Israeli_military_support 2023-2025, various employees fired

“Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure” doesn't really cover or adequately represent their behavior regarding this topic.

That comment doesn't say anything about what I'm asking about here.

IMO the intro “[shared] to the respective secret scanning partner” is a bit misleading because it can be read as third parties unrelated to the secret that do secret scanning. The text later on only mentions the issuer of secrets, though.

To protect the developer community, GitHub partners with hundreds of secret scanning partners to identify leaked secrets.

GitHub works directly with industry partners like AWS, OpenAI, and Stripe to build detectors for their specific secret formats […]
GitHub notifies the secret issuer when publicly leaked secrets are found, allowing the partner to take immediate action.

Probably in some AI training data sets. Not that those are particularly good backups.

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

maybe they also mean Israel/Gaza or the AI push

… Gitlab though; the only difference is you see more “a large premium customer is requesting this” comments!

I love those! /s 😄 It can certainly feel like a pattern, specifically for some tickets.

 

When Zork arrived, it didn’t just ask players to win; it asked them to imagine. There were no graphics, no joystick, and no soundtrack, only words on a screen and the player’s curiosity. Yet those words built worlds more vivid than most games of their time. What made that possible wasn’t just clever writing, it was clever engineering.

Beneath that world of words was something quietly revolutionary: the Z-Machine, a custom-built engine. Z-Machine is a specification of a virtual machine, and now there are many Z-Machine interpreters that we used today that are software implementations of that VM. …

I expect some hot Java code on that website 😏

YouTube recently introduced UI changes. Google probably didn't optimize for Firefox besides Chrome. Whatever they're doing, it may be more performance on Chrome than on Firefox for technical reasons.

As a quality metric, "bad company". If you can differentiate between hardware product and drivers, you can separate those metrics. But usually, and for most people, using the product also means using their drivers.

You can just take the L and say you didn’t see that the function definition that was “added” was just “removed” at the top.

That's not what happened though.

Changing the indent of the def changes the definition. That's my whole argument.

I don't get why you say "of course", agreeing with my point, but then "it was only the indentation that was changed".

 

During OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch event, they demoed the model’s ability to fix real bugs in production code. Live on stage. In their own repository. The kind of demo that makes CTOs reach for their credit cards and engineers nervously update their resumes. There’s just one small problem: the fix they promised to merge “right after the show” is still sitting there, unmerged, three and a half months later.
