Memory is often the first hard limit a Kubernetes cluster hits. Nodes run out of RAM long before they run out of CPU, and the new wave of agentic AI workloads makes this worse. These workloads demand large memory footprints ...

I receive plenty of email harassment. Mostly from anonymous cowards. Anyone with a blog and public email address in [current year] can probably attest to that experience. Apparently the audacity to prefer not to fund billionaires really upsets people? Several ...
I’ve still got all my WordPress sites on Pressable and happily so; I think they do a good job! They do everything you’d expect a WordPress host to do. The things I specifically like are: On that last point, I ...
People have been begging David to loosen his grip on Rails or even to walk away entirely for 20 years. Now that he's signaling interest in walking away, the same people are pissed as hell. Smart.

If you've watched the trailers for No Law or the tech demo that developer Neon Giant showed off at Unreal Fest earlier this year, it would be easy to believe the game has a similar scope to CD Projekt Red's ...
When the analytics screen running on our main operational database got too slow, we moved a year of data into DuckDB on the same server. Getting the data in was the hard part. This is the story of every method ...
Seems like Anthropic cut the Opus 5.5 allowance last week. Ran out of weekly usage on a 20x plan 4 days in. Spent that last day optimizing my workflows to be more token efficient, and now I'm 38 hours since ...

Sundays are for having the first lie-in in a month. No trips to visit family, no waking in unfamiliar beds, and, best of all, no having to wait until the hosts are up before you can get started on breakfast. ...
Something I find befuddling: advances in AI-generated images, video, music, code, prose, and problem solving continue to legitimately impress me. And yet, somehow, I've never seen an LLM produce a marketing tagline that wasn't total dogshit. What gives?
