We’ve open sourced DotSlash , a tool that makes large executables available in source control with a negligible impact on repository size, thus avoiding I/O-heavy clone operations. With DotSlash, a set of platform-specific executables is replaced with a single script containing descriptors for the supported platforms. DotSlash handles transparently fetching, decompressing, and verifying the appropriate remote artifact for the current operating system and CPU.

While deploying Precision Time Protocol (PTP) at Meta, we’ve developed a simplified version of the protocol (Simple Precision Time Protocol – SPTP), that can offer the same level of clock synchronization as unicast PTPv2 more reliably and with fewer resources. In our own tests, SPTP boasts comparable performance to PTP, but with significant improvements in CPU, memory, and network utilization.

How enterprise-grade data management creates better and more efficient care. In the last few years, the acceptance of telehealth has become more widespread as patients and providers found they could maintain continuity through phone and video collaboration, instead of in-person visits. In many cases, a level of care that once required a drive to the clinic or hospital could be delivered over a mobile phone or laptop, with no travel and no waiting room.
