Summary This postmortem analyzes the practicality and systemic risks of replacing stdint.h with a macro‑based “type‑builder” API such as INT(32), UINT(16), FAST(64), and constraint wrappers like RANGE or EVEN. While the idea improves expressiveness, the investigation shows significant ABI, tooling, and portability hazards that make such an API difficult to adopt safely across compilers and … Read more
Summary Automated spike detection in multiple time series using departures from rolling mean failed due to incorrect standard deviation scaling and lack of trend normalization.

Lack of trend normalization: Rolling mean alone did not … Read more

Even if you are the only developer, Git can still detect divergence when the remote branch contains commits your local branch does not—often caused by non-fast‑forward updates, rebases, or detached‑HEAD pushes you forgot … Read more
Summary A Google Apps Script continued running even after the user deleted the project, removed triggers, and emptied the trash. The script kept monitoring Gmail and sending Google Voice texts because an OAuth-granted authorization token was still active on the user’s Google Account. Deleting the script does not revoke its previously granted permissions, so the … Read more
