It’s been a couple of years since May 23, 2023, when I posted my first rant about AI in general and ChatGPT (properly pronounced “chat-jippity”) in particular. In that blog, I compared AI to a calculator: In the hands of a novice, a scientific calculator is far more likely to be used to spell out
Season one of this story, From Prompt to Production, ended with a retrospective and a working app: ClinicLive books appointments, checks patients in at a kiosk, and calls them from a live waiting-room board — tested, hardened, deployed. It also looks exactly like the template it was born from. This

En Madrid hay unos pequeños puntos de préstamo de libros dentro de estaciones de metro: el Bibliometro. De los 12 que había, 6 cerraron; quedan 6 abiertos. El problema es simple: el catálogo oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid no te lo pone fácil. Hice https://www.librometro.es: consulta el catálogo
Our cache cluster blipped for four seconds at 09:14. It came back at 09:14:04 and immediately fell over again, and this time it stayed down for nineteen minutes. Nothing was wrong with the cache. We had DDoS'd ourselves with our own retry policy, from roughly 900 pods running the same library. The
Creating a good compiler is a two-fold juggling task. On one hand, the compiler itself should run quickly and use very little memory. On the other hand, the machine code it produces should actually be fast too. Over the last few months, I have discovered that balancing between these two values is an
Automating YouTube uploads with scheduled publishing produced three failures that never raised an error: youtube.upload cannot call videos.update, a token can silently belong to the wrong channel, and publishAt is ignored unless privacyStatus is private. What I wanted Export one short vi
When people talk about Nigerian startups, fintech is usually the first category that comes to mind. Payments. Digital banking. Fintech APIs. But Nigeria's developer ecosystem is becoming much broader. A good example is Terra Industries, a Nigerian defence-tech startup that recently raised anoth
What is Batch? Batch (XLS-56) allows multiple XRPL transactions from different accounts to execute atomically in a single ledger close. For example, if any inner transaction fails during the all-or-nothing mode of the feature, the entire batch reverts. This makes various types of atomic operations
Hi all, not sure if this is the right r/ for this question but I have a few sites that list links to companies, in alphabetical order (eg - all companies starting with A has a link to "A", etc). There are 40-50 links per alphabet letter. There a few websites like this. I'm looking to filter by geog
A client paged me at 6am because their reporting dashboards were timing out. Nothing was down. The primary replica in their Always On AG was just getting hammered by every single read query in the environment, while two perfectly healthy secondary replicas sat there doing nothing but redo. They had

I'd like to share BoringOS, an independent x86_64 desktop operating system written primarily in C. This is not a Linux distribution or a customized existing OS. The project is developing its own kernel, userspace, filesystem functionality, USB/xHCI and HID support, process/task architecture, and a
Concerns over the potential risks of the technology are rising as new AI models become more powerful, heightening both the potential for misuse by people with criminal aims. The post New Warnings About the Risks of AI to Humanity Revive a Long-Running Debate appeared first on SecurityWeek.
The current Material generation — dynamic color, tonal palettes, expressive shapes — is a conversion tool, not just a skin. Here is how I use it in production Android apps, step by step. A fintech client in Mumbai shipped a payments app with a design system that predated Material's tonal era: two s
React is deliberately minimal. It gives you components, props, and children while leaving structural composition patterns up to you. One pattern that doesn't exist natively but comes up constantly in design systems and component libraries is named slots: the ability to pass multiple distinct pieces
AI governance has already become one of the most important parts of running AI in production. As enterprises deploy AI agents, retrieval systems, and LLM applications, they need ways to control access, manage risk, monitor behavior, apply policies, and prove compliance. The best AI governance tools
🎯 El punto de partida En varios kickoffs de Landing Zone enterprise en LATAM este año se repite el mismo patrón de inventario: unos 40 servidores físicos que nadie quiere tocar porque el que sabía renunció en 2022, un cluster VMware con 200 y algo de VMs, la mitad de las aplicaciones en Windows Se
TLDR: I made "poor man’s" DSSM (Deep Structured Semantic Model) — the count-based translation table that can enrich the inverted index for full-text search. This trick can improve baseline BM25. So the idea is the following: - You have supervised pairs (query, relevant document), e.g., MS MARCO or c
Short version: I labeled 558 public AGENTS.md files against a 9-category taxonomy. The measured base rates say something boring and useful — almost every file prohibits things (85.7%) and lists build/test commands (82.8%), while almost none of them record a gotcha (13.6%). Two of the nine slots are
