More Molly Guards

https://unsung.aresluna.org/_media/more-molly-guards/ogimage.png
Ever since I wrote a post about the molly guard, I have been on the lookout for those, and I think I collected enough to do a little follow-up. Other machines opted for “softer” quasi molly guards that still aimed to prevent you from pressing a button or switch by accident, but without having to get something out of the way first: Even softer? This below is not a traditional molly guard, but ...

Lies We Tell Ourselves About Email Addresses

https://gitpush--force.com/commits/2026/06/lies-we-tell-ourselves-about-email/padme-right.jpg
Email addresses are complex and have many edge cases, including international characters, case sensitivity, and server-specific features that can lead to unexpected behavior. To handle email addresses safely, don't overthink it and use simple client regex for user input, verify addresses with a confirmation code or link, and use citext or COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci for unique index checks.

Test-case reducers are underappreciated debugging tools

https://tratt.net/laurie/blog/extra/2026/test_case_reducers/shrinkray1.png
Test-case reducers are tools that can automatically reduce the size of an input to a program, making it easier to debug, and can be used in various ways, including to reduce nondeterminism and drive down the length of program traces. By writing custom interestingness tests, programmers can use test-case reducers to focus on specific properties of the input, such as reducing the length of ...
