At a press conference outside Madison Square Garden, politicians, musicians, and privacy advocates argued for tighter restrictions on how public venues deploy biometric surveillance.

LuaCAD models solids in Lua rather than the OpenSCAD language, with operator overloading for CSG (`a + b`, `a - b`, `a * b`). It ships with a CLI and a desktop app, including a preview area and a text editor. I've always been a big fan of OpenSCAD, but the SCAD language itself is unfortunately quite cobbled-together and is a very poorly designed programming language. LuaCAD takes all the good parts of OpenSCAD and combines them with one of the best scripting languages. It has now completely repl...

Doing research with agents is fun until they blow way past budget, jumble the sources, and don't even give you the best possible answer, just sound confident. And if you want to run some research task on local data - you have no idea where your data ends up after the prompt consumes it. So I built this tool: a deep-research agent with an enforced budget, verified quotes, and a privacy boundary for local data. 1. Never spend more than you budgeted (measured overshoot is 0%). 2. Every claim carrie...

Aurora Innovation and Kodiak AI, two companies developing self-driving trucks, have received permits from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

PayPal is still reportedly negotiating a potential sale to Stripe and private equity firm Advent, as the fintech firm's new CEO attempts to turn the company around.

An AI agent fails, so you add a few log statements: console . log ( ' starting agent ' ); console . log ( ' tool result ' , result ); console . log ( ' final answer ' , answer ); That works until the agent calls tools in parallel, retries one of them, falls back to cached data, and makes several model calls for different purposes. The terminal still contains the events, but it no longer explains the run. The limitation is not console.log() ...

Overview Flagr is a useful test of whether Ota can keep a real service repository legible. It has a portable Go verification path, a local SQLite-backed API, a six-instance Docker Compose integration topology, four database services, and a locally tagged integration image. Those are different execution truths. One green test command should not flatten them into one readiness or deployment claim. The pressure contract pins released Ota v1.6.25 , separates deterministic verification ...

Consider what a data engineer has to learn before writing a single useful transformation on a typical 2026 data stack. dbt, for SQL models, sources, tests and macros. Airflow or Dagster, for scheduling, sensors and retry logic. dlt, Airbyte or Fivetran, for ingestion. Python scripts for anything SQL cannot express. Then YAML to configure all of it, and a growing pile of glue to hold the pieces together. Each of those tools is good. dbt genuinely standardised SQL transformation. Airflow's o...

markdown I built a portable memory layer for AI agents so you don't have to AI agents are everywhere now. But they still struggle with one thing: memory . Most agent frameworks store memory in a vector database, but that's not enough. A vector DB just stores embeddings; it doesn't understand memory types, consolidation, forgetting, or portability. So I built Mneme — a portable memory layer for AI agents. What does Mneme do? Structured memory : episodi...

After publishing 66 technical articles on DevOps and AI infrastructure, I realised I had a blind spot. I knew how many people visited my articles. I had no idea how many people understood them. Page views, bounce rates, time on page — none of these tell you whether your explanation of Kubernetes state management actually made sense to the reader. So I built QuizOps. What it does You paste your article URL. GPT-4o reads it and generates 10 multiple-choice questions streamed in re...

This is a crosspost of the canonical version on GitHub . 1. Problem I run agent-cost , a small open-source CLI that reads local Claude Code / Codex CLI usage logs and estimates token cost. I wanted documentation for it more trustworthy than a hand-written README: not prose claiming "the reader handles the TTL cache-write breakdown correctly," but claims that each point at the exact test or source line backing them, checked against real git history so the pointer can't silent...

Short answer: a public HTTPS queue push webhook subscriber in Node.js should verify the signature on the raw request, persist a unique cleanup command, and ack only after that durable write; a bounded worker should own retries. The request should never wait for the marketplace cleanup itself. That sounds almost too conservative. It is exactly what makes a delayed task boring to operate. A marketplace can tolerate a cleanup running a few minutes late; it can't easily tolerate deleting a listin...

Every part of a speech→LLM pipeline is fast enough on its own. Put them in a row and you get three seconds, which is far too slow when a human is waiting for you to say something. I build a desktop overlay that listens to the other side of a video call, transcribes it, and streams an answer. The budget I care about is time from the speaker finishing a sentence to the first token on screen. Here is where that second and a half went, and what actually moved it. The naive pipeline mic/loop...

Regular Expressions (Regex) are expressions that define a search pattern. Regex can be implemented in various tasks including searching, replacing, validation and text processing/parsing. It is mostly known in the combination with the programming language Perl, but Regex are also supported by most other languages. If you every want to really dive deep into the world of Regular Expressions, I'd recommend the book "Mastering Regular Expressions " by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl. Testing ...

For three years I thought building software worked like this: I get an idea, I build it, I ship it, and let's see what it catches. Eight projects, none of them finished, zero users. And I spent all of it sitting at my desk, sitting on the couch, asking an LLM, reading forums, looking for validation inside documents, and I honestly thought that was research. I had my ideal customer perfectly defined, the problem is that this customer existed under my own description , with the character...

My browser is a war crime I'm a designer and developer, and a hopeless tab hoarder. On a normal day I've got 70+ tabs open across a couple of windows, every favicon crushed into an unreadable sliver, and my "system" for finding anything is to just… open another tab. Bookmarks? A write-only graveyard I never revisit. I bounced between tab managers for a while. Toby was the one that stuck — until it capped the free plan at 60 saved tabs and started asking for an account. For a tab hoarder, ...
