Trace-to-Fix Workflow to Boost RAG and Agent Performance

Trace-to-Fix: How Are You Actually Improving RAG/Agents After Observability Flags Issues? Summary Observability tools like Langfuse, LangSmith, and Arize excel at surfacing failures in RAG and agent systems, but the path from “I see the failure in the trace” to “I found the fix” remains unclear for many teams.

STM32 Arduino Core: Unexpected double CRLF behavior in Serial.println vs SAMD51

Summary STM32Duino core produces double CRLF (\r\n\r\n) for string constants in Serial.println() while numeric values output correctly. SAMD51 core behaves as expected with single CRLF (\r\n) for both cases. Root cause stems from HAL-level CRLF conversion conflicting with Arduino’s standard newline handling. Root Cause STM32 HAL UART drivers automatically convert \n to \r\n during transmission. … Read more

Data validation error text appears inside TemplatedControl, but inner TextBox does not get a border

Summary A custom TemplatedControl in Avalonia failed to render visual error states (specifically the red border) despite correctly capturing and propagating validation errors. While the error text was visible via the DataValidationErrors container in the template, the inner TextBox lacked the necessary pseudoclass state to trigger the theme’s error styling. This resulted in a broken … Read more

In a Delphi/FireDac/SQL setup how do you manage multiple database connections in a RAD way?

Summary This postmortem examines a common database connection management challenge in Delphi/FireDac applications transitioning from SQL Server (with MARS) to PostgreSQL compatibility. The core issue involves multiple concurrent result sets on a single database connection, where the default FireDac behavior conflicts with RAD development patterns that encourage declarative component configuration. The problem manifests when developers … Read more

Spring Data JDBC with Composite ID

Summary Spring Data JDBC does not automatically map composite ID components to their own table columns. When a composite key record (ServiceId) is used as the @Id, Spring Data JDBC expects the table to have a single column named after the ID property (or a custom column mapping). It does not introspect the composite record’s … Read more
