If you are building a FiveM roleplay server, Discord Rich Presence is one of those small details that makes a big difference. It replaces the generic "Playing FiveM" status with your server name, logo, and player count. Every player on your server passively advertises your brand to their entire Discord friends list. The setup is straightforward but the implementation differs depending on your fram
The File Search tool in the Gemini API now supports multimodal retrieval by adding support for Gemini Embedding 2. This update allows images, such as charts, product photos, and diagrams, to be natively indexed and searched in the same store as your text-based documents. This post covers how to use the File Search tool end-to-end: creating a store, uploading documents and images, querying with gro
Zulip is known for keeping conversations organized. Topic-based threads, clear context, and async-friendly discussions make it a favorite for technical and distributed teams. Unlike traditional chat apps, conversations in Zulip stay readable even as teams scale. Recreating this experience can be a bit difficult. Real-time messaging, user presence, inline comments, and notifications usually require
Hey! Tell me if this sounds familiar. You built a login page in React. User fills in the details, clicks login, and — nothing happens. The page just sits there. You wanted to send the user to the dashboard after login. But how? You cannot just use a link — the user did not click anything. The redirect needs to happen from your code, based on logic. That is exactly what useNavigate solves. 1. What
Hi everyone, my name is P Swyom Sanjog. Welcome back to my blog—I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m bringing a new topic: Virtual DOM. Let’s understand what the Virtual DOM is in simple terms. We’ll cover key questions like what it is, why it’s used, and how it works. So, let’s get started! Virtual Dom So, let’s break down the topic into “Virtual” and “DOM.” Virtual means something that exi
Your phone will connect to the strongest tower it hears. It does not ask for ID first. It assumes trust, and that assumption is the entire problem. I first noticed this in 2019 outside a security conference in Las Vegas. My test Android dropped from LTE to 2G for 47 seconds, then returned to normal. No user notification. The baseband logs showed a cipher downgrade to A5/0, a location area code tha
I have been working on a .NET assertion library called Axiom Assertions. It started as a way to learn how assertion libraries work, then grew into an experiment around deterministic output, batching, analyzers, and AI-focused test assertions. The repo is here: https://github.com/spearzy/Axiom-Assertions This did not start as a plan to overthrow every assertion library in .NET. That would be a bit
I shipped mcp-probe — a CLI that points at any MCP server, enumerates every tool, resource, and prompt, calls each with auto-generated arguments, validates against declared schemas, prints a pass/fail scorecard, and exits 0/1 for CI. The plan for launch week: run it against the official Node MCP servers and post results. The first run made me look like I'd broken half the ecosystem. The second, af
