This year has been very interesting so far. The first half absolutely sucked and went by in a second. There was a lot of shit going on at work, leading to me being burnt out and needing to quit the startup I co-founded. It was a forced break. What followed is pretty interesting. You need to reorient. You need to regain strength. The first four weeks I couldn’t really do anything and got sick again and again. My body needed to rest.

The latest version of Visual Studio Code Insiders now shows a prompt before you bring in a third-party MCP server. Neat! No more one-click command execution.

Back in February, I asked folks on the Fediverse if I should try to contribute native macOS sharing to Emacs upstream . While folks were keen on the sharing feature, there were reservations about whether or not a macOS-only patch would be welcome upstream. While my chances of success sounded fairly low, I figured I had to at least try before giving up… and I have to say, I'm glad I gave it a chance. Yesterday, my patch was finally merge....

Updating the gallery on this site has been an on-again off-again project for a long time. Mainly because I was running in to some issues with Expose. This version is built as a project from the ground up: exercising my rusty front-end “skills” and seeing how some of the Gemini tooling can help with such projects. The new gallery is at p.rob.sh/v3 .

Unexpected inconsistency in records The other day, I was trying to figure out a bug in my code, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part as to how C# records work. It’s entirely possible that I’m the only one who expected them to work in the way that I did, but … Continue reading Unexpected inconsistency in records →

I got to lead communion at my church recently – a ritual to remember Jesus and how he gave his life. I’ve got a recording here, a written version below, and at the bottom the scriptures and song that were swirling in my head as this came together. Hello, I’m Jason, and I get to […]

I work on homomorphic encryption (HE or FHE for “fully” homomorphic encryption) and I have written a lot about it on this blog (see the relevant tag). This article is a collection of short answers to questions I see on various threads and news aggregators discussing FHE. Facts If a service uses FHE and can respond to encrypted queries, can’t the service see your query? How is it possible to operate on encrypted data without seeing it?

TLDR: Check out the new Cluster Debug View announcement If you had asked me twenty years ago what is hard about building a database, I would have told you that it is how to persist and retrieve data efficiently. Then I actually built RavenDB, which is not only a database, but a distributed database , and I changed my mind. The hardest thing about building a distributed database is the distribution aspect. RavenDB actually has two separ....

Writers and poets are called the engineers of the human soul (инженеры душ) So intellectual corporations like $RELX must be the "landlords of the human soul"! I wanted to find out how many pages long "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" was when I discovered another digital library has been shut down by the landlords of information. If you want to express your own poetic thoughts and feelings through engineering, I suggest a po....

Today I learned that Kagi uses Yandex as part of its search infrastructure, making up about 2% of their costs, and their CEO has confirmed that they do not plan to change that. To quote: Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use. To put this in perspective: removing any single source would degrade search quality for all users while having minimal economic impact on any particular regio....

In planning mode, Claude Code defaults to action, and in most cases this is wrong! Thus: The posture and bias of Claude Code’s Planning Mode should be to *expect* the user to need to provide more detail.

This post explores how virtual threads in Java 21+ provide an elegant solution for converting legacy Future objects into CompletableFuture instances. Since Java 8, the CompletableFuture API provides a convenient way for performing asynchronous operations in a functional, composable way. This makes it very simple to call some long-running methods—for instance involving external I/O—asynchronously and process each result as soon as ..

There’s a subtlety in building AI agents that took me an embarrassingly long time to appreciate: your tool responses are prompts! So many tools and MCP servers treat outputs as mere data pipes: the model calls a function, the function returns a result or an error code, and that’s the end of it. But that mindset overlooks a powerful design opportunity. Tool responses are language , and that means responses can (and should) be crafted to de..
