Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP)

Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) 1.0.1 Introduction The Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) is a modern, flexible, and scalable standard for defining and interacting with tools across a wide variety of communication protocols. UTCP 1.0.0 introduces a modular core with a plugin-based architecture, making it more extensible, testable, and easier to package. In contrast to other protocols, UTCP places a strong emphasis on: Scalability : UTCP is designed to handle a large number of tool

ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes

Conclusions Drug treatment for ADHD was associated with beneficial effects in reducing the risks of suicidal behaviours, substance misuse, transport accidents, and criminality but not accidental injuries when considering first event rate. The risk reductions were more pronounced for recurrent events, with reduced rates for all five outcomes. This target trial emulation study using national register data provides evidence that is representative of patients in routine clinical settings. Results O

When JavaScript Decided My Day Starts at 9AM

published: 2025/07/26 category: dev tags: javascript , date , timezones TL;DR: new Date('2000-01-01') creates a date at midnight UTC, not local time. In Japan (UTC+9), that means 2000-01-01T09:00:00, so our dashboard filters missed all data created before 9AM. The Bug We noticed something strange while fetching data for an admin dashboard: records created before 9AM were missing! Our date filters were simple: <input type="date" /> Which outputs a simple string like const minDateString =

Apple dodges new Dutch ruling on dating app fees (for now)

In June, a Dutch court upheld a prior antitrust ruling against Apple, in a case involving dating apps and the App Store commission. Today, the case was put on pause, as the country’s watchdog awaits the outcome of Apple’s DMA negotiations with the European Commission. A bit of context This case was originally brought by the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), accusing Apple of “unreasonable conditions in its App Store”, as it collected its 30% IAP fee, while not allowing for exter

Monotonic and wall clock time in the Go time package

Monotonic and Wall Clock Time in the Go time package Modern operating systems usually keep track of two kinds of clocks: a wall clock and a monotonic clock. The wall clock is the “real-world” clock that shows calendar dates and times, like UTC or your local time. This clock can be adjusted for synchronization (for example, using NTP) or manually changed by system administrators. It can also suddenly jump due to daylight saving time or leap seconds. Note NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a standa

How to Think About Time in Programming

How to Think About Time in Programming Date published: Jun 23, 2025 Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity. Others repeat advice like "just use UTC bro" as if it were an unconditional rule - if your program needs precise timekeeping or has user-facing datetime interactions, this advice will almost certainly caus

“Two years of work in two months”: States cope with Trump broadband overhaul

The Trump administration has upended plans that state governments made to distribute $42 billion in federal broadband funding, forcing state officials to scrap much of the preparation work they did over the previous couple of years. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick essentially put the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program on hold earlier this year and last week announced details of a rules overhaul that requires states to change how they distribute money to Internet servic
