You're adding rate limiting to a Python web app. The usual suspects are slowapi, flask-limiter, django-ratelimit, and the limits library. There's also drogue. Here's how they compare. The short version drogue slowapi flask-limiter limits request: Request in signatures No Yes Yes N/A (standalone) FastAPI Yes Yes No Via adapter Django Yes No No Via adapter Flask Yes No Yes Via adapter Algorithm...

Every physical button you have ever pressed lies a little. When metal contacts inside a switch close, they do not make one clean connection. They bounce, rapidly touching and separating for a few milliseconds before settling. To a fast enough circuit, one press looks like several. This phenomenon, called contact bounce , is why engineers write debounce logic, and why your old mouse may suddenly start double-clicking on its own. What bounce looks like If you put an oscilloscope o...

Technical Reconstruction of AI as Humanity's Collective Inheritance Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as the culmination of humanity's collective knowledge, a digital repository of centuries of innovation, culture, and discovery. As such, it is not merely a technological artifact but a Summa Scientiae Humanae —a synthesis of human intellect and history. This article argues that AI, by its very nature, should be legally and ethically treated as a shared inheritance rather than private prop...

Search for "merge PDF" or "compress image" and you will find dozens of free websites ready to help. Drag, drop, download, done. It is so convenient that most people never ask the obvious question: where did my file just go? For a holiday photo, maybe it does not matter. For a passport scan, an employment contract, a medical report or a bank statement, it matters a lot. How most free converters work The typical flow is simple: Your file is uploaded to the provider's serv...

One evening last year, I was watching an insightful tech video on my computer. It was in English with Chinese subtitles. As I watched, a thought struck me: I wish I could just listen to the Chinese version. No need to stare at subtitles all the time. I could listen during my commute, before bed, wherever. Eventually, I actually built it. But from the moment the idea struck me to creating a product everyone could use, it took far longer than I expected. After the idea came, I tried a...

To check failed login attempts on Windows 10 or 11, open Event Viewer as an administrator, go to Windows Logs > Security, choose Filter Current Log and enter Event ID 4625. Every 4625 entry is one failed sign-in, and it tells you which account was tried, how (the logon type), why it failed (the status code) and which computer or IP address it came from. If the list is empty, check that failure auditing is switched on with auditpol /get /subcategory:"Logon" . Maybe you just want to know w...

Originally published at Trida AI . When should an agent forget that you switched suppliers? Picture a procurement agent in its fourth month of work. It knows your main vendor well by now. It also still knows the previous vendor's payment terms, the approver who left in spring, and a delivery address from a one-off order in February, and it treats all of it as equally current. Nothing in that memory is fabricated. Every entry was true when it was written. The failure is quieter than a hal...

BBC's Blue Planet III is looking to prove its authenticity by leaving in the less-than-perfect shots. Previous incarnations of the nature series were defined by their gorgeous, crystal-clear footage that seemed almost too good to be real. But one dead giveaway of AI is when things look too polished and seamless. To counter that, Blue […]

Elon Musk reportedly ordered SpaceX to throttle Ukraine's Starlink access.

The critical vulnerabilities of the week in the server software we watch and what it runs on: those that score CVSS 7.0 or more, and those CISA says are being exploited in the wild. This week, 3 vulnerabilities. Software Vulnerabilities Exploited Highest score Kubernetes 1 – 10.0 PHP 1 – 9.8 Windows Server 1 – 9.8 Kubernetes CVE-2026-83938 CVSS 10.0, critical · published October 22, 2026 Missin...

I turned on Claude prompt caching, shipped it, and moved on to the next thing. A week later I opened the usage logs to admire my savings. cache_read_input_tokens: 0 . On every call. 1,412 calls in a row. The API never returned an error. My cache_control blocks looked fine. Every request quietly paid full price for the same 6,000-token prefix, over and over, and the response told me so in a field I wasn't reading. This is the autopsy: three separate bugs, each enough to kill the cache by...

Hi Savindu, and the Pointer Moved The pointer did not jump. It left the middle of the screen, arrived at the address bar, and then came down into the page. Firefox was showing the Debian homepage. Savindu Thathsara, savithathsara.me . This is a Hearthlen note from the same ThinkPad. The sentence and the rings together “Hey Hearthlen” now answers “Hi Savindu.” before it waits for the job. The face is its own process, so the rings move while the voice is playing, not after ...

The Voice Stopped Sounding Like a Radio “Hi, Savindu.” came back in 1939 milliseconds, and the voice was no longer the flat low-quality one. Savindu Thathsara, savithathsara.me . This is a Hearthlen note from the same ThinkPad. What changed The earlier voice was Piper’s en_GB-alan-low . Low is small and fast, and it sounds flat. The new file is en_US-lessac-medium , a narrator recording at medium quality, 63,201,294 bytes. Speech is a little slower than the default, and...

It happened during a quiet afternoon at the mosque. I was sitting in the back row, and suddenly, the person next to me had their phone blast an upbeat, high-volume notification sound. The immediate tension in the room was palpable, followed by the frantic, embarrassed fumbling to mute the device. I felt for them, mostly because I had been that person countless times. I realized then that my phone wasn't just a communication tool; it was a constant source of potential social friction, and my manu...

Written by the NXTL team. We make a travel eSIM, which we mention in a few places below as one option among several. The rest of the checklist applies whatever connection you use. Working from a new country is great until your laptop is on hotel Wi-Fi that drops every twenty minutes, and you're 4 GB into a Docker pull on a mobile plan you didn't size. Here's the checklist we use: what to sort out before you fly, and how to keep your data use predictable once you land. 1. Treat yo...

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on the backend logic and learning Python structure to build an educational tool, and the more I get into it, the more I realize that traditional tech and educational platforms get something completely wrong. Too many people assume that if someone struggles to grasp a concept—whether it's coding, science, or logic—it’s because they aren't "smart enough." They think because someone worked in a factory or didn't pass traditional school exams, higher-level learn...

Act today if this applies to you CVE-2026-114509 is a critical (CVSS 9.2) flaw in Laravel’s built-in token API guard. If your app authenticates API requests with the "token" driver and stores users in MySQL or MariaDB, an attacker with no account can sign in as an existing user, without that user’s token. Update laravel/framework to 12.68.0 or 13.29.0 or later. Apps that use only Sanctum, Passport or session logins are not affected by this flaw. 9.2 - CVSS v4 base score, rated crit...

Most articles about database migrations assume you know the final model before you start. In real products, you often don't. You ship a design, it goes to production, and then a customer conversation tells you the design was wrong. In 2026, I designed and built a speaker roles feature for an event platform, end to end: database schema, GraphQL API, and changes to both the organizer dashboard and the attendee-facing event app. I shipped it as a one-to-one relationship. After it was live, the r...

Google AI Overviews now answer a large share of commercial questions before any website gets a click. Business owners ask me the same thing every week: are we even in those answers? The honest problem is tooling. Most AI visibility trackers charge per prompt and per location, because they run the queries through paid APIs. For a small business, that pricing makes no sense. So we track it manually, in a structured way. This post explains the method, and the small free tool we built on top o...

I'm building a music theory API. I typed F# as root note into the "tonic" interface, which OpenAPI translated into a URL and I got a subsequent 404. Everything broke. Here's what happened and how I created a work-around. What # means to a URL The # character is reserved in URLs to signal a fragment identifier. Everything after the # character is interpreted by the browser as an anchor on the page, not part of the path. So something like /scales/F#/major is parsed as /scales/F ...

Introduction Smart contract security is often about finding the invisible edge cases. While participating in a recent bug bounty for Tenor Labs (a protocol built on top of Morpho Midnight), I discovered a high-severity rounding vulnerability in their migration callbacks. If exploited, this flaw allows an attacker to artificially inflate a user's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio to infinity, triggering an immediate liquidation of the user's pre-existing collateral. In this article, I’ll break ...
