In 1884, European powers met in Berlin and wrote Africa's future. They designed a system so effective that 140 years later, it still operates, controlling without firing a single shot.

We like to think of ourselves as honest and reliable. But sometimes our actions tell a different story; and a quiet tension builds, lingering until we face the space between what we believe and what we do.

There's a psychological reason people stay stuck, stop trying, or settle for less, even when escape is possible. Its called learned helplessness, and it's more common than you think.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a quiet masterpiece that explores time, memory, and loss with gentle grace. It's an anime that lingers in the heart long after the final scene, a poetic journey about what it truly means to say goodbye.

Ever wonder how databases find your data so fast (or sometimes so slowly)? The answer usually comes down to indexes, the unsung heroes of database performance. In this post, we'll dive deep into how SQL indexes work, when to use them, and how they can transform your queries from tortoises into cheetahs; for the most part.

SQL is a powerful tool for managing and querying data, but it can become a bottleneck if not optimized properly. This guide will cover some of the most common techniques for optimizing your SQL queries.

What if time doesn't just move forward? Dark isn't just a show, it's a puzzle, a paradox, and a beautiful headache. Here's why I think it might be the greatest time travel story ever told.

JavaScript engines, like V8, are optimized for patterns. When a function consistently receives objects with the same shape, meaning identical property names and order, it becomes monomorphic. This predictability allows the engine to bypass dynamic checks and generate specialized, highly efficient machine code. The more uniform the inputs, the more aggressively the engine can optimize.

The Earth's rotation creates a centrifugal force that pushes objects outward, but the gravitational force keeps them in orbit. The Coriolis effect, which causes objects to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, further complicates the situation.
