What The Social Reckoning gets right — and wrong

Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning has its fair share of cinematic flair, but many details in the story hew closely to real life. The movie tells the story of how Frances Haugen, a Facebook civic integrity product manager, came to leak a large trove of internal documents to Wall Street Journal investigative reporter Jeff Horwitz, […]

How Microsoft built its MacBook Pro competitor

Before Microsoft releases a laptop to the public, it needs to put the device through its paces. That all happens inside a windowless, warehouse-like lab on the company's Redmond, Washington, campus, where the team developing Surface devices programs robots to press their buttons thousands of times, pelts devices with radio waves from giant antennas, and […]

Have you heard of containerized GPU data centers? A beginner's guide to how they work

📝 Originally published (in Japanese) at forge.workstyle.tech . In this article, we'll explain what a data center is and how containerization changes the game. We'll also explore the relationship between GPUs and liquid cooling, as well as the various usage options. By the end, you should be able to explain how containerized data centers work to others. No prior knowledge of GPUs or data centers is required. What Exactly is a Data Center? A server is a computer ...

Node.js Login Endpoint Protection — A Credential-Stuffing API and Lockout Policy

For a small gaming SaaS team, the least complex defensible approach is to protect the signup and login API with a captcha after a few failed attempts, then require step-up verification when risk persists. Do not lock the account. A lockout lets an attacker deny service to any player whose email address is known. TL;DR: Use per-account and per-network failure signals to decide when to show a captcha, but do not turn either signal into a permanent identity verdict. After the captcha, require an...

LGPD e dados pessoais na IA

Resposta curta A Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) aplica-se integralmente ao tratamento de dados pessoais por sistemas de inteligência artificial no Brasil, exigindo base legal, transparência, impact assessment quando relevante e responsabilização do controlador — mesmo quando a IA opera de forma autônoma ou com decisões automatizadas. TL;DR A LGPD entrou em vigor em 18/09/2020, com sanções aplicáveis desde 01/08/2021 (Lei nº 13.709/2018, art. 52). Dados pessoais in...

Drawing a Git commit graph that stays narrow: lane layout in TypeScript and SVG

If you've looked at a commit graph for a repo with a few long-lived branches, you've seen this: every branch gets its own column, columns never go away, and eventually the graph is wider than the commit messages next to it. I ran into this while building the history view for a desktop Git client. The first version gave each line its own column for good. On one 122-commit repo that came to 14 lanes, 276px of graph before any text. This post covers how I rebuilt the layout so lanes get reused, ...

January 1st, 1999. The planet is yours to defend, and your first act as commander of X-COM is picking a spot on a map for your first base. No tutorial. No walkthrough. Just a spinning globe, sixteen nervous governments, and the knowledge that somewhere in the dark, Sectoids are already moving. X-COM: UFO Defense — known in Europe as UFO: Enemy Unknown — shipped in 1994 from a tiny British studio called Mythos Games, led by Julian Gollop. It was nearly cancelled twice during development.

Node.js Error Grouping API: US/EU Event Detail for B2B SaaS

For a small B2B SaaS comparing Rollbar, Bugsnag, Sentry, or a lean alternative, a useful server error grouping API must let the on-call search one property-management attempt, inspect event detail, and resolve workflow state without losing the underlying evidence. The least complex design is one immutable event stream keyed by an attempt ID, plus error groups that point back to those events across US and EU workloads.

The Power Apps Code App Licensing Trap Nobody Tells You About

If you're building a Power Apps Code App (React + TypeScript + Dataverse), there's one requirement that can kill an otherwise finished project: every end user needs a Power Apps Premium per-user license. Not a per-app license. Not a free tier. A Premium license, per person, for every single user who will open the app. This sounds obvious once you say it out loud - but it's easy to miss during scoping, especially when the business asks for "an app for everyone in the company." I've...
