π₯Flame charts are now GA for all CPU profiles on Polar Signals Cloud. X-axis = wall-clock time, so periodic GC, phase shifts, and lock contention show up as patterns instead of getting averaged out. www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2...

The Polar Signals profiler got a major upgrade. New dashboard, and everything is faster and smoother π We canβt wait for you to try it out! Here's what's new and how we did it: www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2...
@zed.dev is by far the best editor I've ever used. It's the only one that's managed to pry vim from my hands.

This was a fun one! For @polarsignals.com's latest hackathon, I wrote an FSST decompression CUDA kernel and then optimized it by profiling with our new GPU PC sampling feature. www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2...

Ever wondered how a profiler knows which JavaScript function is hot when V8 compiles your code three different ways? Brennan went deep on unwinding and symbolizing V8 stacks across Sparkplug, Maglev, and TurboFan. The detective work behind every flame graph. π₯ www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2...

π Launching today: GPU PC sampling in production. Instruction-level profiling telling you why and where warps stall. Whether it is memory latency, scoreboard waits, or barriers. π§ Previously NSight-only territory. Now running in prod with low overhead. www.polarsignals.com/blog/posts/2...

We've been working on a major schema migration at @polarsignals.com that has unlocked some pretty wild improvements. Apart from a 50% (!!) reduction in storage size thanks to logical compression in vortex.dev, there has been a dramatic improvement in query performance.
