5NF and Database Design

https://kb.databasedesignbook.com/posts/5nf/wikipedia-1.png
The traditional way of teaching fifth normal form (5NF) is confusing and unnecessary, and a more logical approach is to start with business requirements and create a physical table schema using a textbook table design strategy. Two patterns of physical table design follow naturally: the AB-BC-AC triangle and the ABC+D star pattern, both of which are fully normalized and do not require 5NF ...

The collapse of the Roman Empire led to a feudal age of violence and fragmentation, but eventually, institutions and trade revived, enabling civilization to rebuild. The current shift in global power and institutions may lead to a multipolar world order, challenging Western ideals and values.

Troubleshooting Email Delivery to Microsoft Users

Microsoft temporarily blocked our emails to Hotmail, Live, MSN, and Outlook users due to a rate limit, but it was later resolved after we implemented a Redis-backed throttler to control our sending rate. The issue was likely caused by a spike in email traffic from our IPs, which Microsoft's algorithms flagged as suspicious, and we are considering warming up an IP solely for transactional ...

Responsive images in Hugo using Render Hooks

https://mijndertstuij.nl/og/hugo-responsive-images-using-render-hooks.png
Back in 2022 I wrote about automatically generating responsive images in both JPEG and WebP formats using Hugo shortcodes. In those days, browser support for WebP was still quite spotty so we had to generate both formats and do a little magic to let the browser fall back to JPEG if needed. Fast forward to 2026 and WebP is now well supported in all major browsers, and Hugo has also evolved ...

The M×N problem of tool calling and open-source models

https://www.thetypicalset.com/static/og-image.png
Tool calling with closed-source models is seamless, but with open models, it depends on a wire format the engine must understand, leading to implementation burdens. A shared declarative way to describe wire formats is needed to standardize tool calling across models and engines.
