2026.10.15·tanayj.com·6 min read·TLDR IT Engineers at ClickHouse investigated why simple SELECT queries experienced an unexpected 32 ms tail latency after idle periods on high-RTT networks. They discovered that unbatched metadata packets sent alongside result data quickly exhausted the TCP congestion window after it had been reset to its initial size during idleness. To resolve the issue, ClickHouse implemented application-level batching for these metadata packets, effectively halving the TCP segment count and eliminating the tail latency penalty.

2026.10.14·scienceisneato.substack.com·12 min read·TLDR IT Software-correctness tools reduce the space for bugs through three approaches: raising the floor with correct-by-construction features like type systems and memory safety, pushing the walls inward with verification tools like SMT solvers, and detecting remaining bugs through model checking and fuzzing. Tools that rely on separate models risk implementation drift, where the model no longer matches the actual code. Hydro addresses this limitation by running correctness checks directly against deployed code.
