To prevent excessive redrawing of the table Tabulator will wait 300 milliseconds after the user has finished typing before triggering the filter.

    Apache Thrift

    Apache Thrift

    Language-independent stack for point-to-point RPC implementation

    Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. Apache Thrift allows you to define data types and service interfaces in a simple definition file. Taking that file as input, the compiler generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers that communicate seamlessly across programming languages. Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack for point-to-point RPC implementation. Thrift provides clean abstractions and implementations for data transport, data serialization, and application level processing. Thrift is specifically designed to support non-atomic version changes across client and server code. This allows you to upgrade your server while still being able to service older clients; or have newer clients issue requests to older servers. For more details on Thrift's design and implementation, see the Thrift whitepaper included in this distribution, or at the README.md file.

    WordPress boilerplate with modern development tools, easier configuration, and an improved folder structure. Bedrock is an open source project and completely free to use. Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.

Bedrock is multisite network compatible, but needs the roots/multisite-url-fixer mu-plugin on subdomain installs to make sure admin URLs function properly. This plugin is not needed on subdirectory installs but will work well with them. Composer is used to manage dependencies. Bedrock considers any 3rd party library as a dependency including WordPress itself and any plugins.

    SWC

    SWC

    Rust-based platform for the Web

    SWC is an extensible Rust-based platform for the next generation of fast developer tools. It's used by tools like Next.js, Parcel, and Deno, as well as companies like Vercel, ByteDance, Tencent, Shopify, and more. SWC can be used for both compilation and bundling. For compilation, it takes JavaScript / TypeScript files using modern JavaScript features and outputs valid code that is supported by all major browsers. SWC is 20x faster than Babel on a single thread and 70x faster on four cores. SWC can be downloaded and used as a pre-built binary, or built from the source. SWC (stands for Speedy Web Compiler) is a super-fast TypeScript / JavaScript compiler written in Rust. It's a library for Rust and JavaScript at the same time. If you are using SWC from Rust, see rustdoc and for most users, your entry point for using the library will be parser. If you are using SWC from JavaScript, please refer to the docs on the website.

    AWS Lambda Python Runtime Interf Client

    AWS Lambda Python Runtime Interf Client

    Seamlessly extend your preferred base images to be Lambda compatible

    We have open-sourced a set of software packages, Runtime Interface Clients (RIC), that implement the Lambda Runtime API, allowing you to seamlessly extend your preferred base images to be Lambda compatible. The Lambda Runtime Interface Client is a lightweight interface that allows your runtime to receive requests from and send requests to the Lambda service. The Lambda Python Runtime Interface Client is vended through pip. You can include this package in your preferred base image to make that base image Lambda compatible. To make it easy to locally test Lambda functions packaged as container images we open-sourced a lightweight web-server, Lambda Runtime Interface Emulator (RIE), which allows your function packaged as a container image to accept HTTP requests. You can install the AWS Lambda Runtime Interface Emulator on your local machine to test your function. Then when you run the image function, you set the entry point to be the emulator.
