A LinkedIn recruiter pitched me a remote "Software Engineer at a DEX" project this week. Reasonable comp range, tech stack squarely in my wheelhouse. After a couple of friendly exchanges, she asked me to "review the codebase before the technical interview" and sent me a GitHub repo link plus a Calendly invite for the call. The repo was malware. It didn't get me, but it's something developers shoul
If you mostly live in .NET, the Java platform can look like a parallel universe: JVM, JDK, JARs, app servers, bytecode. The useful shortcut is to map each concept back to something you already know from C# and the CLR. This guide is a translation layer for .NET developers: what the JVM is, how the JDK compares to the .NET SDK, and what your real options are when a C# system needs to work with Java
I shipped Shin KoiKoi v0.1.0 two days ago — a free, polished hanafuda Koi-Koi card game built solo with Godot 4.6 .NET in 2 days. (Earlier post: the v0.1.0 release log) For v0.1.1 I added a 17-stage promotion exam system that turns the existing rank progression from "MMO experience grind" into something closer to the real Japanese kyū/dan exam tradition.

Harbor cities understand accumulated risk. Cargo moves in quietly. Weather shifts by degrees. One bad assumption can sit unnoticed until it reaches critical mass. Halifax has lived with that kind of memory for more than a century.

On April 7 Anthropic published technical Mythos report,as well as announced Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing. The claim was that their newest model could autonomously identify and exploit real vulnerabilities in major open-source projects at unprecedented scale. One of Anthropic's public showcase examples was the Linux kernel, which is not some toy repo but the operating system underne
In today's digital landscape, website security isn't just a best practice—it's a necessity. From protecting user data to boosting your SEO, an SSL certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) is non-negotiable. Yet, many domain registrars, including Namecheap, often push users towards paid SSL solutions, despite excellent free alternatives existing. This guide will walk you through how to implement free SSL
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on lately. The premise is simple: every time we share a photo or a document, we inadvertently leak a massive amount of personal data — from home GPS coordinates to camera serial numbers and even the edit history of a PDF. Using "online privacy services" to clean your files always felt like a paradox to me (sending private data to a s
