• How Postgres 19 checks foreign keys without running SQLSeptember 25, 2026. Postgres 19 skips the SQL layer when it checks a foreign key, and bulk inserts get about 1.7x faster. I read the code, benchmarked 18.6 against 19, and found out why the batching on top of it only helps some workloads.
• How Fillable finds the blanks in a flat PDF formSeptember 25, 2026. A flat PDF form is just lines, boxes and text. Here's how Fillable reads the drawing operators to find the fields, what changes for scanned pages, and why a quarter of a degree of tilt broke my first version.
• How a PNG becomes a cut file: image tracing, step by stepSeptember 25, 2026. A cutting machine needs closed outlines, not pixels. I walk through how my tracer turns a 900 px badge with 220 distinct colors into 4 vinyl layers and 203 nodes, and the hairline gap bug I had to fix on the way.
• Why your SQLite WAL file never shrinksSeptember 25, 2026. With readers that always overlap, SQLite's WAL grows by 11.9 MiB a second under a 2,000 commit/s writer and keeps its size after the readers leave. I read wal.c to see why, then measured what journal_size_limit and TRUNCATE checkpoints actually fix.
• How a Word file becomes a printed book: line breaks, widows and the KDP gutterSeptember 25, 2026. I wrote a small book typesetter that runs in the browser. Here is how it breaks lines, why hyphenation mattered more than the clever algorithm on a 5 x 8 page, how it keeps single lines off the top of a page, and why the inside margin depends on a page count you don't know yet.
