Containers and secure computing mode (seccomp) are lighter weight alternatives to virtual machines (VMs) that provide security isolation. At Figma, we use both containers and seccomp to achieve security isolation. Container isolation happens at the operating system level and relies on features like namespaces, cgroups, and privilege dropping. Seccomp restricts the system calls a program […]

Apple silicon chips have two types of CPU cores: E (Efficiency) cores that are energy efficient but slower, and P (Performance) cores that run most of the code in apps. The allocation of threads to different cores depends on the Quality of Service (QoS) assigned to each thread and clustering. VMs are allocated virtual CPU […]
Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that can generate new content without explicit programming. It uses machine learning algorithms to analyze datasets and create new content like images, music, text, and video. Generative AI has many uses, including content creation, data augmentation, simulation, personalization, and predictive analysis. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and […]
