FastCGI: 30 years old and still the better protocol for reverse proxies

Using FastCGI as a protocol for proxy-to-backend communication can avoid HTTP's pitfalls, such as desync vulnerabilities, by providing clear message boundaries and domain separation between client and proxy headers. FastCGI is a 30-year-old protocol that is still usable today, but its lack of awareness and outdated tooling may hinder its adoption despite its potential benefits.

HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/4395a2e7017b07ed312fbb105e14129840e8ce7be471c0c506f1e73ecadf5586/anthropics/claude-code/issues/53262
Claude Code routes API requests to extra usage billing when a git commit message contains the case-sensitive string HERMES.md. This causes silent extra usage credits consumption, making it difficult to diagnose.

Consequences of passing too few register parameters to a C function

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/02/ShowCover.jpg
Passing too few parameters to a function can cause undefined behavior, memory corruption, or exceptions due to the compiler reusing memory or the processor reading uninitialized values from registers. The Itanium architecture strictly enforces this rule, raising exceptions for reading or writing outside the current stack frame.

Why I still reach for Lisp and Scheme instead of Haskell

The author prefers Scheme over Haskell for its simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use, despite Haskell's mathematical beauty and innovations. Scheme's REPL and macro system allow for fast prototyping, debugging, and development, making it the author's "sweet spot" for good developer experience.

Laws of UX

In my first version, I ran median-cut quantization in RGB, partitioned the resulting buckets into seven fixed ROYGBIV regions, ran a three-pass within-region picker, then a cross-region dedupe with hue gates and saturation under-weighting at low lightness. The code became a pile of patches as I introduced new test images that created edge cases. Thirteen named constants. Six rules for what ...

Kyoto cherry blossoms now bloom earlier than at any point in 1,200 years

Postgres's lateral joins allow for quite the good eDSL

The user discusses the benefits of using lateral joins in database queries for compositional query building, citing the Haskell library Rel8 as an example. They then describe their own Rust library, rust-rel8, which replicates the behavior of Rel8 and provides a powerful abstraction for building queries in a type-safe and composable way.

Donald Knuth created the TeX typesetting program in 1977 to ensure precise formatting of scientific papers, which revolutionized the field and enabled authors to encode their intent into manuscripts. The program's extensibility and free availability led to the development of LaTeX, a higher-level markup language that has become the standard for scientific and technical publishing.
