Oh boy, another paper about #SQL, because apparently, 2026 is the year we finally get rid of those pesky #NULLs and bags. 🙄 The authors think we're all dying to optimize our queries by deleting half the language's features, because complexity is so 2025. 🕰️💼

In today's earth-shattering revelation, tiny #JPEGs don't look identical in #Chrome and #Firefox 😱. Clearly, this JPEG decoding "optimization" is the pinnacle of modern #engineering. Next up: why those sneaky #pixels keep playing hide and seek at 15px 🙄.

🎨🥋 Ah yes, the quest to make #Automatic1111 speak "Metal" on an #M1, as if teaching a toddler calculus would suddenly make them Einstein. 🚀🤦♂️ Because who doesn't want to shave off a few seconds on a task that already feels like watching paint dry?

🎉🥳 Whoopee! 🎉🥳 Squeak/Smalltalk 6.1 is here, and the release notes are so "optimized" for Squeak that they're basically unreadable anywhere else. 🙄 But don't worry, because who doesn't love downloading another piece of software just to understand what they just downloaded? 🤦♂️

My wonderful PhD adviser is hiring! He's searching for a PhD student to work on combining search algorithms and machine learning. He's at the department where I did my MSc research back in the day, and where I had an amazing time.

A really weird side-effect of working on what is, effectively, an optimization engine, is that so, so many algorithmic/analytic/PLT things become .... easy? (or gradual?)
I get to ... say. no.
No matter what, I basically always have the option of *failing*: the engine can always fall back to "drive-to-⊤, decline-to-make-a-firm-statement - this falls towards Run."
No matter how much buried complexity, the tool, at its core, only has one actual job: decide whether to run a thing. And it's *always* safe to just Run The Thing.

Ah, another gripping #ROCm blog post where we're supposed to pretend optimizing kernels on #AMD MI450 #GPUs is thrilling and not a #corporate yawn-fest 🤖. Spoiler alert: it's basically a sleep-inducing manifesto on how to decode #attention, and not the kind you need to understand this guide 🌌.

Opowieść o tym, jak można zejść z bardzo dużego kontenera do bardzo małego bez zmian w funkcjonalności. Interesujące studium prostego przypadku, które może być powielone przy innych okazjach.
