TL;DR: My HP EliteBook 840 G2 was running its CPU at max turbo (2900 MHz) around the clock, even at idle, cooking itself at 83–88°C and throttling on the RAPL power limit over 115,000 times in two hours. I traced it into intel_pstate.c, was fairly convinced I'd found a kernel bug, wrote up a whole Bugzilla report... and then the kernel documentation politely told me I hadn't. H...
The evolution of autonomous software engineering has moved at a blistering pace. We have officially transitioned from isolated, monolithic language model loops to distributed, collaborative software ecosystems. In the early days of LLM-based tooling, an agent interacted with local tools through a tightly coupled execution loop. While this paradigm is remarkably effective for localized, single-t...
I'm building MarkdownVault, a native iOS app that saves web pages as encrypted Markdown on-device — no cloud sync, no tracking.
We're entering a TestFlight beta with ~20 testers and I need help validating five core paths before App Store submission.
There's an awkward moment in every agentic data project. The agent works. It writes decent SQL, it reasons about schema, it proposes a migration that looks right. And then somebody asks the question nobody wants to answer: what happens when it's wrong against production?
The usual answers are all bad.
Point it at production with read-only credentials, and you've capped ...
"Just add Stripe" is the default advice for a solo dev who needs to charge money. It works right up until you're an Indian merchant trying to sell to a buyer in San Francisco and a buyer in Bangalore in the same afternoon — at which point you discover that a single provider can't actually do both, and the fix rearranges more of your code than you'd expect.
I hit this building S...
