Migrating from crontab: five everyday schedules, translated into Kairos

24+ min ago   (670+ words) If you arrived from the Kairos 1.0 announcement, this is the hands-on one: take a crontab you already have and translate it. First, the honest part: if your jobs are plain fixed-time repeats, stay on cron. "Every hour", "3am daily" — there is…...

How I Turned the SAM.gov Public Bulk Dataset Into a Searchable Contractor Database

23+ min ago   (718+ words) Working with public government datasets often sounds straightforward until you actually try to turn them into something useful. That was my experience with the SAM.gov public bulk dataset. The data is valuable because it contains a large amount of…...

My parser reported a parse error on a file that was never malformed

24+ min ago   (554+ words) A build step that reads requirement tables out of a document reported this, every run: reason=parse has an obvious reading. Either the document is malformed or the parser is broken. A person following that reason code goes and looks…...

A deprecated value has to live somewhere, and widening the set was the wrong somewhere

24+ min ago   (590+ words) A check refused a row I had just added. The row was a retired signing key, kept so that records signed under it can still be read. The check said: The set of accepted schemes has exactly one element, and…...

I Built a Python CLI Toolbox Instead of Writing One-Off Scripts

28+ min ago   (666+ words) Whenever I ask an AI assistant to do a small task, it writes a quick Python script for me. Convert an image. Compress a PDF. Convert a CSV to Excel. The script works, I use it once, and then it…...

How to change reasoning effort in Codex CLI: model_reasoning_effort values and one-off overrides

46+ min ago   (430+ words) Codex feels slow, or it overthinks a trivial fix. The knob for that is reasoning effort, the Codex counterpart of extended thinking in Claude Code, controlled by the model_reasoning_effort key. In short: set model_reasoning_effort = "high" (or another value) in ~/.codex/config.toml…...

Why Autonomous AI Agents Need a Local Action Firewall: Introducing MCPBouncer

1+ hour, 24+ min ago   (181+ words) Developers are rapidly connecting autonomous AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Zed, or custom LLM frameworks) directly to local systems via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). While giving AI access to terminal execution, filesystem tools, and databases dramatically accelerates…...

Data Substrate Versus Vector Db Rag

1+ hour, 21+ min ago   (1246+ words) This week’s headlines highlight the rapid evolution of AI in China, with models like Qwen and DeepSeek pushing the frontier of capability. But as these models grow more sophisticated, the conversation around how data is stored, queried, and used as…...

My build went green and the permanent record kept almost none of it

1+ hour, 15+ min ago   (569+ words) A clean run at a release boundary. Every check green. Then the step that writes the run into the append-only record, and this: The run succeeded. The record of the run mostly does not exist. That is the part worth…...

Sixteen XORs and not a single if

1+ hour, 28+ min ago   (990+ words) Verbose is a small experimental language I build — its compiler proves properties about your code (termination, declared reads, sound types) and emits tiny x86-64 machine code: no runtime, no GC, no libc. Its emitted binaries already compute the TLS 1.3 cryptography for…...
