EMU deletions fix

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:56:50 +0200

Between June 1 and June 13, 2026, some Enterprise Managed User accounts that were deprovisioned through SCIM were incorrectly deleted instead of being suspended and obfuscated as expected. As a result, affected users appeared as ghost users in issues, pull requests, and audit logs, rather than retaining their expected suspended and obfuscated user... Weiterlesen

Your SPF record has a limit of 10 DNS lookups. Here's how to count yours and fix it

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:55:33 +0200

If your email lands in spam and your SPF record "looks fine", count its DNS lookups. SPF has a hard limit that many domains cross without noticing, usually after adding a newsletter tool, a help desk and a shop platform over the years. The rule When a receiving server checks SPF, it may follow at most 10 mechanisms that need a DNS query (RFC 7208,... Weiterlesen

AgencyAnalytics Is Great for 5 Clients. It’s a Trap for 25.

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:55:30 +0200

AgencyAnalytics does not have a master template system. That means every client report is a separate instance, totally disconnected from a core template. So when you make a structural change—a new widget, a renamed section—you have to open each client report, apply that edit, save it, and verify the render. One by one. For every client. I budgeted...

Penrose tiling in Python: generate a 3D-printable aperiodic ornament

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:55:19 +0200

A Penrose tiling never repeats and has fivefold symmetry, which is why it looks so odd on a 3D-printed ornament. You can generate one in about 40 lines of Python with manifold3d. The trick is Robinson triangle subdivision: start with a wheel of 10 triangles and split each one by the golden ratio, again and again. import math, numpy as np phi = (1... Weiterlesen

Your Agent Can Pay. Can It Actually Buy the Right Product?

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 17:54:11 +0200

A shopping agent can execute a valid payment and still make a bad purchase. Imagine a buyer asks for two compact umbrellas, delivered to Singapore, within a total budget. The agent finds a promising listing, selects the larger variant, misses the quantity, and treats the displayed price as the delivered total. The wallet signs correctly. The... Weiterlesen

When AI keeps fixing the wrong bug

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 17:54:04 +0200

Anyone who has debugged with an AI model knows this loop. You paste the error, ask for a fix, and get a confident patch. It looks right. The error moves somewhere else. You paste the new error, get another patch, and a few rounds later the code is messier and nobody, human or model, can say what the bug actually was. The model usually isn't the... Weiterlesen

The most common way an n8n workflow fails in a small business isn't a bug. It's a supplier's server being busy at 6 AM.

Why Split Prefill and Decode GPUs Lose Time in the Hand-Off, Not the Network

Engineer's view. This is a Node.js server doing a synchronous parse on every upload. Each parse is quick, but it blocks the one loop every connection shares, so every response slows. With a fixed connection pool, slower responses then mean waiting for a free connection. The decode server's hand-off work behaves the same way. TL;DR. When prompt... Weiterlesen
