OurBook: el MCP donde tu agente recuerda vuestra historia (no tus datos)

La mayoría de los "agentes con memoria" recuerdan datos: un string, un hecho, una preferencia. Pero cuando hablas semanas con un agente, lo que quieres no es una base de datos con tus notas. Quieres que recuerde vuestra historia: el día que conociste a su perro, la vez que os reísteis de una idea absurda, lo que prometisteis hacer juntos. Y, sobre todo, quieres que no confunda lo real con lo soña...

We Will Get You Through It!

There is a comedy sketch from Bob & Tom that starts with a hilariously impossible promise: overnight delivery by train, from New York to Los Angeles. At one point, someone asks if they can really get a 2,000-pound package across the country overnight by rail. The answer is delivered with absolute confidence: “Norfolk and Waypal, overnight. Absolutely. Positively.” The name is doing s...

JWT Authentication in Express That You Can Actually Revoke

Access tokens, refresh token rotation, and theft detection: the parts most Node.js tutorials leave out. A friend messaged me about his side project a few months ago: "Someone else is logged into my account. I changed my password. They're still in." He had followed the tutorials to the letter. Sign a JWT on login, send it to the frontend, keep it in localStorage, attach it to every request....

Threat Model Your Apartment Like You Threat Model Your Laptop

Your threat model has a hole shaped like your house. You run endpoint protection on your Mac. You have 2FA, passkeys, hardened browser, DNS filtering. You would never install random software from a forum. Then you walk into your living room that has 14 always-on microphones, 6 cameras, 3 devices that map your floor plan, and a router you have never audited, all running firmware you have never ...

From Arduino To Automotive: How I Escaped The IDE And Owned The Bus

Arduino taught me how to build. Bare metal taught me how the build actually works. I have a lot of respect for Arduino. I mean that sincerely. It is a legitimate engineering platform, not a toy. It put a C compiler, a bootloader, and a sane hardware abstraction layer into the hands of millions of people and said go make something. Museums run on Arduino. Satellites have run on Arduino. My first t...

How the ZIM Master Prompt Solves AI Code Hallucinations for 2D Canvas

PROMPTED by Dr Abstract - organized by Gemini. If you have ever asked a Large Language Model (LLM) to write code for a specialized or evolving framework, you have likely encountered the "Legacy Fallback" trap: Instead of using the latest idioms, the AI defaults to outdated patterns it saw millions of times in older training data. For ZIM (the JavaScript canvas framework for creative coding), g...

Turning your Obsidian notes into a queryable database with Dataview

If you take notes in Obsidian, you've probably hit the same wall: search finds text, but it can't answer "show me every snippet I've tagged regex" or "what debugging notes do I still have open?" That's what the Dataview plugin is for — it treats your notes' frontmatter (and inline fields) as rows in a database and lets you query them with a SQL-like syntax, right inside a note. The setup...

PHP FFI on Apple Silicon: your ioctl call is lying to you

I spent an evening building pseudo-terminal support for PHP and lost an hour of it to a bug that reports success. If you use FFI and ioctl anywhere near production, and your CI only runs on Linux, this one is worth ten minutes of your time. The setup PHP can already open a pseudo-terminal. proc_open() accepts ['pty'] descriptors, and on macOS you get a real /dev/ttysNNN back. What you...

Why Edge AI Frameworks Are Too Heavy for Real Microcontrollers (and How to Fix It with Lean C++)

By Kim Mansfield Embedded Firmware Engineer & AI Consultant Modern "cloud-to-edge" AI platforms promise one-click deployments to microcontrollers. But if you have spent decades writing assembly and low-level C drivers, you know the reality: most embedded AI toolchains are too heavy. When deploying machine learning models to space- and power-constrained hardware like the new Raspberry Pi Pic...

Semantic Regression at Scale

Semantic regression (or bugs) is when the application still works according to its tests and traditional monitoring, but its observable behavior has changed. For example, imagine a library/API that historically returns different error codes for different failure paths: condition A → EINVAL condition B → ENOENT condition C → EBUSY A change causes condition A and B to now return the same error code...
