A hands-on exploration of how Three.js, shaders, and codec-inspired techniques can turn a scene transition into a convincing real-time datamosh effect.

Loss of identity. The post The perils of binding to value types in XAML appeared first on The Old New Thing.

Python 3.15 makes UTF-8 the default text encoding. A plain open("notes.txt") call now decodes the same way on every platform, including Windows. Earlier Python versions picked an encoding from your locale, so on Windows the same code that worked on Linux and macOS could produce garbage. By the end o...

PostgreSQL table bloat: detect it before it kills performance. Measure heap and index density, set autovacuum thresholds, and alert on dead tuple ratios and vacuum lag.

TL;DROr, perhaps the problem isn't that AI has broken code review, maybe it’s that we've been using code review to solve the wrong problems I was on a panel recently with Brian Houck from DX at Code Remix, hosted by Moderne. It was one of the more interesting panels I’ve done, largely because we dis...

We believe the future is a multi-model, multi-harness world. And we think it needs a new trust model. In 1988, Norm Hardy described a problem that had been quietly breaking systems for years: the confused deputy. A program that takes action using its permissions instead of yours. Today, every AI age...

Learn how Docker Sandboxes can make AI evaluation workflows more reproducible with consistent execution, structured artifacts, and runtime evidence.

A note from the author: Just before this post was set to be published, a new feature was released on Claude Code that makes this post somewhat obsolete: Claude’s new “Concise” output style. I was sick of scanning through walls of text each time I asked Claude Code a question. Skills like I have ADHD...

In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of Python 3.15 Preview: UTF-8 by Default. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit where Python’s old default text encoding came from, which operations rely on that default, how to find code that leans on it, how to pass an explicit encoding in your o...

We’ve built an AI agent that acts as a secondary expert for a given domain, making deep specialist knowledge readily available and preserved for anyone in an organization to access, share, and build upon. This is not a typical domain-specific agent. Its novelty comes from integrating two layers:  A ...

Le Domain-Driven Design structure le domaine métier en identifiant ses concepts, son langage ubiquitaire et les responsabilités qui organisent le système. Mais un logiciel ne se contente pas de représenter le métier : il en exprime aussi les comportements.

After resolving 91% of roughly 1.5 million support conversations a month on its own, Hostinger's AI assistant Kodee has been given a bigger job.

Rachel joined a new team which was proudly "metrics driven". When she first met with her boss, Zane, he explained his thinking. "We need to be data-driven to make good decisions, right? We're a manufacturing company. We make widgets. At the end of the day, we need to make the most widgets for the lo...

Because Python functions’ defaults are kept in __defaults__, avoid mutable defaults: add1.__defaults__ # ([1, 1, 1],) The post Mutable default arguments in Python: why `__defaults__` bites appeared first on LernerPython.

About a month ago, I wrote an article recommending that if you are going to have an always visible control for switching between light and dark mode, it should be a two-state toggle that alternates between system and whatever the current opposite of system is, not a tri-state one (system, light, dar...

I got curious about implementation because of padding. Specifically the fourth message in a thread about whether a card’s inner spacing was 16px or 20px. I have had some version of that conversation on every project I have worked on, along with the ones about type scale, and border radius, and which...

“We’re at an inflection point in cybersecurity,” Jensen Huang told a sold-out crowd at CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con 2026 in Las Vegas Tuesday. Attacks are now automated. Defense has to be, too.  The NVIDIA founder and CEO joined CrowdStrike CEO and founder George Kurtz to announce CrowdStrike SafeMind, its...

Like many readers, I’m wary of AI generated prose. Simon Wilison has written an LLM cliché highlighter - paste in some text, or a URL, and it will flag various patterns common to LLMs. It references a wikipedia page of signs of AI writing. That page points out that: Humans are notoriously bad at dis...

Why Postgres wins in the AI era: 40 years of reliability, extensibility, and an open ecosystem. Agents need trusted foundations, not fragile architectures.
