So much of what we develop these days ends up using HTTP. Usually when developing an HTTP service it’s quite easy to add logging to aid debugging. But when developing a client, especially one that uses a library which does the actual HTTP calls, it can be harder to insert logging in all the right places.

I recently got frustrated with Codex’s command permissions. They don’t let you configure which commands should always be allowed or denied. There’s an issue about it, but it’s been open for almost 4 months as of writing this. Their sandboxing is less convenient than tools like Claude Code, since it’s more of an all or nothing approach. So I decided to build my own solution. The Problem To make LLM CLI agents useful, you need to let th..

I recently learned about smee, which is a tool to forward webhooks (or any other kind of HTTP Post request) to a locally running service. This can come in particularly handy while developing a service locally, which isn’t exposed on your machine. The idea is simple: You create a channel on smee.io . This gives you a public endpoint that can receive HTTP POST requests. Smee.io emits incoming requests as Server-Sent Events (SSE) . A loc....

Introduction Yelp heavily relies on Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) to store a wide variety of data, from images, logs, database backups, and more. Since data is stored on the cloud, we need to carefully manage how this data is accessed, secured, and eventually deleted—both to control costs and uphold high standards of security and compliance. One of the core challenges in managing S3 buckets is gaining visibility into who is accessing y..

AI agents have officially fully infiltrated my development workflow. While it’s convenient to delegate tasks to them so I can focus on other things, it’s worth remembering that, at their core, these systems are still just highly advanced predictive text engines. And one thing they excel at — beyond cranking out boilerplate code — is conjuring up dialogue and imitating characters with ease. So next time you’re tempted to have your agent wr..

Not long ago, I introduced acp.el , an Emacs lisp implementation of ACP ( Agent Client Protocol ), the agent protocol developed between Zed and Google folks . While I've been happily accessing LLMs from my beloved text editor via chatgpt-shell (a multi-model package I built), I've been fairly slow on the AI agents uptake. Probably a severe case of old-man-shouts-at-cloud sorta thing, but hey I want well-integrated tools in my text....

Context RocksDB performs a variety of IO operations—user reads, background compactions, flushes, database opens, and verification tasks. Treating all these operations the same makes it difficult for file system implementers to optimize performance, prioritize latency-sensitive IOs, and diagnose bottlenecks. To solve that, RocksDB internally tags every IO operation with its activity type using the IOActivity enum. This automatic tagging pro....

Windows 10 is going to reach the end of support on October 14, 2025 . Following that date, technical assistance, feature updates and security updates will no longer be provided. And while Windows Defender will continue getting support on Windows 10, the lack of security updates will expose your computer to a heightened risk even if your antivirus software is still working. Upgrading to Windows 11 is the most straightforward way to ke....

Context / Problem Modern RocksDB deployments often run in environments with strict memory constraints—cloud VMs, containers, or hosts with hundreds of DB instances. Unpredictable memory usage can lead to out-of-memory (OOM) errors, degraded performance, or even service outages. Historically, while the block cache was the main source of memory usage, other components—such as memtables, table readers, file metadata, and temporary buffers—cou....

Prompted by an old post by Bob Schwartz (2017), I revisited and reread Ur-Fascism , the essay Umberto Eco wrote in 1995 for the New York Review of Books . What are the features of Fascism? We need to know, so we can recognize them and point them out as they emerge, as they always tend to do, time and time again, as our societies struggle to evolve. Sounds like heavy reading material, but it isn’t. I mean, look at the incipit:

This post is part of the T4p Series. So in this post, we are going to combine two indicators: RSI and Moving Averages to come up with a strategy. But first, let’s talk about what we mean by a “strategy.” A trading strategy is simply a set of rules that tells you when to buy and when to sell. It’s different from just using individual indicators because it combines multiple signals into a complete system. Whether you use a single indicator or....
