My latest post on control theory and feedback loops has just been published. I’ll start from scratch and gradually build up feedback loops that are self-healing and resilient, capable of scaling thousands of databases.

Postgres MVCC is great for some things, bad for others.
DELETE falls into the latter.
Is DELETE fast? Yes! But it punts work down the road, making bloat + storage management a burden.
DROP TABLE is the scalable alternative.
La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.
If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.
🚨 do you understand what happened to Chutou..
A border collie with 1.5 million followers was stolen off his family's farmland while his owner was traveling abroad.
He was sold to a dog meat restaurant for $27, killed, and eaten before anyone could find him.
- Chutou was an 8-year-old border collie famous for joining his owner on years of journeys across China
- Security footage caught two strangers hauling him away on an electric bike
- He was wearing both a collar and a GPS tracker when he was taken
- The owner offered $1,500 to get him back - the thief had already sold him for $27
One man's most loyal companion became a $27 meal, and in China that broke no law.
Malaysia’s Defence Minister slams Norway after Malaysia’s missile contract was cancelled:
Malaysia deeply regrets Norway's decision to cancel the export of the naval strike missile system intended for Malaysia.
It raises a deeply troubling question about whether international agreements and strategic partnerships can still be trusted at all.
If even a nation well known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize could abandon commitments without consequences, then international relations are no longer governed by principles.
They are governed by personal whim — and that is extremely dangerous.
When developing nations violate agreements they face condemnation and pressure.
But when powerful countries or their allies do the same, the international response becomes conspicuously muted.
This deafening silence sends a dangerous message that some countries are simply above scrutiny.
Struggling to pick what agent, model, and effort levels to use? Miss the "slot machine" feel of Claude Code when using other tools?

Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
