Time flows through us so quickly, like rivers and ravines; but also, like travelers, we're advancing on its endless plains, mountains, and ridges. Aren't we living contradictions, and embracing the elements. Let's sit down and write about a few things that happened since the last time.

I’ve got into a bit of a habit of writing occasional posts with links to interesting things I’ve found (probably because it’s a relatively easy blog post to write). This is another of those posts – this time, written in June 2025. So, let’s get on with some links: Why COUNT(*) can be slow in […]

Last night, I presented a session titled MCP or Connecting our Apps to LLMs at DevRomagna, our local developer’s community, and I think it went well. I had intended to record the audio with the idea of transcribing it with MacWhisper and then publishing it here on my site, but I forgot to do so, which is a pity. The session lasted almost two hours (I had thought it would take less time), during which I deviated somewhat from the scrip..

What is even more astonishing is that on both occasions Jesus commands us to do the same. After washing his disciples’ feet, Jesus says, “I have given you an example so that you may copy what I have done to you” (John 13:15). After giving himself as food and drink, he says, “Do this in […]

What's new? Journelly v1.2 focuses exclusively on improving app accessibility. In particular: Improved VoiceOver navigation and general app experience. Improved edit layout when "Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Button Shapes" is enabled. Huge thanks to Yvonne Thompson for all her help shaping this release. VoiceOver support is in way better shape as a result. Journelly 1.2 available on the App Store ..

The Consortium for Information and Software Quality estimated that the cost of poor software quality in the United States reached $2.41 trillion in 2022. As we will show, it makes sense that the cost of poor software quality is so high. It’s also completely avoidable, and software flaws must be avoided with the world’s increased dependency on software.

If you’re working on web applications today, you might have heard that re-renders are bad for performance. But why is that exactly? And more importantly – how can we spot these performance issues in our Svelte and SvelteKit applications? In this post, I’ll introduce you to svelte-render-scan, a visual debugging tool I created that helps you see exactly when and where your Svelte components are updating the DOM. We’ll explore why re-renders ..

The Seymour Cray Era of Supercomputers: From Fast Machines to Fast Codes is a technical and business history of the roughly three-decades when Seymour Cray dominated the development of a class of computer called the “supercomputer”. The book covers the development of the major supercomputer models, the technical decisions and trade-offs involved, and changes to the market. The book ends with SGI’s purchase of Cray’s assets and the transiti....

In the 2030s, intelligence and energy—ideas, and the ability to make ideas happen—are going to become wildly abundant. These two have been the fundamental limiters on human progress for a long time; with abundant intelligence and energy (and good governance), we can theoretically have anything else. – Sam Altman

Today's incident involved a production system failure when one node in the cluster unexpectedly died. That is a scenario RavenDB is designed to handle, and there are well-established (and well-trodden) procedures for recovery. In this case, the failing node didn’t just crash (which a restart would solve), but actually died. This meant that the admin had to provision a new server and add it to the cluster. This process is, again, both well-....

Quick note for me to generate #Emacs TAGS file for an #Erlang project: find {src,apps,_build/default,$(dirname $(which erl))/../lib} -name "*.[he]rl" | xargs realpath --relative-to="$(pwd)" | etags.emacs -o TAGS - The relative path ensures that this works over tramp as well.

I’m just back from watching Mastering Claude Code in 30 Minutes , a talk by Boris Cherny, who, I learned, created Claude Code. I was struck by Boris’s reply to one question from the crowd: Hey, why did you build a CLI tool instead of an IDE? Yeah, it’s a good question. There are two reasons. We started this at Anthropic, where people use a broad range of IDEs. Some people use VS code. Other people use Zed, Xcode, Vim, or Emacs. And..
