I tested 9 flagships (Claude 4.6, GPT-5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K2.5, etc.) in my own mini-benchmark with novel tasks, web search disabled and zero training contamination and no cheating possible.

TL;DR: Claude 4.6 is currently the best reasoning model, GPT-5.2 is overrated, and open-source is catching up fast, in particular Moonshot.ai's Kimi K2.5 seems very capable.

MariaDB has a lot of users, and they should be more vocal about it to give it more visibility.

I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple MySQL forks emerge in 2026, now that more people are realizing how bad Oracle has been as an open source project steward for MySQL.

It's an open source venture backed by $35M from FirstMark Capital, Spark Capital, and GV (Google Ventures). It's a drop-in replacement for MySQL with an extension architecture. See their native UUID extension with efficient 16-byte storage as an example.

How did the changes in the binary test files tests/files/bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz and tests/files/good-large_compressed.lzma, and the makefile change in m4/build-to-host.m4) manifest to the Debian maintainer? Was there a chance of noticing something odd?

Exactly. I don't use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

If you are self-hosting MariaDB, upgrading to latest LTS version will make TLS much esier.

This is nice for those tired of wrestling with TLS certs and CAs for your database

Next time I start a new web app development I might try MariaDB Cloud with "Serverless tier is free forever for experimenting and small development projects"

By UV 3000 you probably don't mean the ultraviolet lamp that is the first page of Google is full of when searching with this term..? I doubt UV - whatever it is - is a common approach.

You mean ollama? There are so many options, any favorites?

I just prefix all my git aliases with g-. So for status I type g-s<tab>.

You need bisect only as a last resort. Effective use of git blame, git log -p -S <keyword> etc has always been enough for me. Also, the projects I work with take 10+ minutes to compile even when cached, so doing tens of builds to bisect is much slower than just hunting for strings in git commits and code.

I had the same feeling until I started using gitk. I always have a gitk window open and press F5 to reload, so it shows me the state of everything after I've run git commands. Now I grasp everything much better.

Only product from Microsoft I actually like using and trust. Quality from 1998, and still going :)
