I only bought Pokémon Legends: Z-A during Prime Day, and it’s still on sale

After covering Amazon’s October sale for the last few days, only one item found its way into my shopping cart, and, lucky for you, it’s still on sale after the event’s conclusion. Pokémon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 is $39.88 (usually $59.99 for Switch or $69.99 for Switch 2) at Amazon. […]

Tim Cook says ‘I’m not meddling’ in the new Apple CEO’s business

Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO in September, handing over the top job to former hardware chief John Ternus and taking an executive chairman role. Cook's still a visible representative of the company, having been recently photographed attending a state dinner at the White House. But in an interview with The Independent, Cook says […]

ICE detainees in Georgia used the facility’s video calling software to expose the conditions inside

Four men detained at an ICE detention center in rural Georgia used the facility's video conferencing software to expose both the conditions inside and President Donald Trump's hostile takeover of the immigration courts. In the five-minute video, the men describe an intentionally dysfunctional legal system designed to keep them trapped in federal custody for months […]

A company of AI agents that actually finishes things: board, handoffs, a gate, and a meter

I kept rebuilding the same failure: five agents in one chat window, no memory of what was blocked, and a "done" that nobody had checked. Better prompts did not fix it. A bigger model did not fix it either. Structure did. A company has a board, roles with defined handoffs, a gate before anything ships, and a budget someone is actually watching. So I wrote that scaffolding down as code instead of vibes: four Python modules, standard library only, plus a five-role roster and a demo you can run o...

What I Learned Building My First Landing Card UI

This week I built my first landing card UI using only HTML and CSS, and it taught me more than I expected about the basics. I started with a simple card containing a heading, a short paragraph, and a button, and tried to make it look clean on both a laptop and a phone screen. The first lesson was structure. Using semantic HTML helped a lot: a main section for the page, a heading in the right order, and a real button element instead of a styled div. When the structure was clear, the CSS became...

Deleted User Avatar Still Loads: Trace Cache Identity Before Removing Assets

TL;DR: Moderate an edtech avatar at upload, publish a new opaque asset key only after approval, and replace the profile reference with a tombstone before deleting bytes. On-demand processing is the runner-up for private drafts and rarely viewed images. A versioned URL prevents a replacement from colliding with an older representation; it does not, by itself, make an already shared URL stop loading.

Broadcom and Ford dropped NetIncomeLoss from their 2025 XBRL: a quick check for SEC tag changes

This week a five-ticker cash-flow check here on DEV came back without Ford's 2025 row. The data was there; the tag wasn't. Ford's 2025 10-K reports the year's result as ProfitLoss and never uses us-gaap:NetIncomeLoss , so a pipeline that asks for NetIncomeLoss sees Ford's annual figures stop at 2024. I wanted to know how common that is, so I checked every SEC filer. I build Equibles , which serves these SEC facts to ChatGPT and Claude over MCP, but everything below uses only SEC's fre...

Microfrontends + Microservices: How the Architecture Works, Why It Matters, and How Each Part Deploys on Its Own

The whole system on one page. Keep it open; we'll walk through every box. Picture a typical web shop. One team owns the product catalog, another owns orders, a third owns user profiles. In the beginning, everyone works in one frontend and one backend. It's simple, and that's fine. Then the company grows. Ten developers become fifty. Every release needs everyone to agree. A small bug on the profile page blocks the orders team from shipping. A routine library upgrade turns into a three-week...

Cryptominers Are Targeting AI Servers: 5 Checks for Developers

Someone is using a poem on GitHub to coordinate a cryptomining botnet called PoeLLM, according to Lumen's Black Lotus Labs . Gamers, if you read that as "PoE" and thought of Path of Exile, there is some currency farming involved, but it's at the server owner's expense. Once installed on a compromised server, the malware translates selected words from the poem into an IP address. By editing those words, its operator can point infected machines to another command-and-control server. The com...

I built a programming language that speaks Urdu, Turkish, and Spanish — from an Android phone

English is the invisible gatekeeper of programming. Before you write your first if , you already need to read English. For 6 billion people, that's not a feature — it's a wall. Two years ago I started asking a simple question: what if programming keywords existed natively in the learner's mother tongue? The answer became NexusLang — an open-source, self-contained programming language where you write agar instead of if in Urdu, eğer in Turkish, si in Spanish. The compiler bridg...

I got Jev to zero mistakes. I'm still using Flash-Lite.

Jev is a brilliant decision model. Gemini Flash-Lite is the cheap model nobody talks about. Here's what we measured picking between them, and why the pair is the cheapest setup of all. Jev is the most hyped model right now. TypeSafe's decision model doesn't chat and doesn't write. It reads some text and a list of options and returns calibrated probabilities over those options. A few hundred milliseconds, for almost nothing. Every feed I read has a post about it. We had a real job f...

Navier-Stokes lost in translation: Why Lean verification of AI autoformalisation does not guarantee correct natural language proofs

Autoformalisation is increasingly used to verify mathematical texts, including those generated by AI, as in OpenAI's announced proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. In this process, an AI system translates the text from a natural language (NL) into a formal language such as Lean. Once this translation is done, the argument expressed in the formal language can easily be mechanically verified. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate why this process may offer no confi...
