Today’s software applications require developers, testers, and SysAdmins to work together (DevSecOps) more seamlessly than ever before. Continue reading...... Take me to this post.
November 23, 2025This post is part of a series, as I play catch-up on KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members. At the dawn of the final day of the knitalong, I was determined to finish the machine-knit portions of the build. That means making the front panel, seaming the front and back along one shoulder, rehanging the neckline, and knitting the collar. The front panel is constructed about the same as the back panel, but with differences in the neck and shoulder shapi... Take me to this post.

November 22, 2025This post is part of a series, as I play catch-up on KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members. In the first installment of this series, I made some sleeves, putting me well on time for the knitalong. Since then, however, I spent two weeks in Berlin, a few days sick, and some days catching up on work. All that adds up to: the knitalong is already practically over! 😱 However, I can't let that get me down. It's not homework, there's no grade. I just want ... Take me to this post.
November 22, 2025The more I work with large language models through provider-exposed APIs, the more I feel like we have built ourselves into quite an unfortunate API surface area. It might not actually be the right abstraction for what’s happening under the hood. The way I like to think about this problem now is that it’s actually a distributed state synchronization problem. At its core, a large language model takes text, tokenizes it into numbers, and feeds those tokens through a stack of matrix multiplicatio... Take me to this post.
November 22, 2025Before C++20, gave us a solid foundation for working with clocks, durations, and time points - but it didn’t really know anything about the civil calendar. If you needed to represent “March 15”, check whether a date is valid, compute “the third Monday of November”, or add a few months to a date, you had to rely on custom utilities, std::tm, or external libraries like Howard Hinnant’s excellent date. C++20 finally fills this gap by standardising a complete set of calendar types: year, month, da... Take me to this post.
