Scientists left structures up to 100 meters under the surface. Here’s what they found when they retrieved them 10 years later.

After years of testing repellents, traps, and sprays, I found a few ways to keep the bugs at bay—and plenty that aren’t worth the effort.

Fed up with paying to stream music you’ll never actually own? Give the little silver disc a spin. Here’s how to start a CD collection or get more out of one you already have.

AI has made me dramatically faster at building software. You can see it on my GitHub: a sudden surge of activity at the start of September, several projects started, and a few of them actually shipped. That part isn't up for debate. I can go from an idea to a working prototype in a day. I can ask questions about an unfamiliar API, generate test scaffolding, trace a bug across a codebase, and get a second opinion on architecture without opening twenty browser tabs. Since the start of Septemb...

There is one incredibly small visual detail I've wanted to implement on my websites for years. Rounded text selection. Not rounded text backgrounds. Not predefined highlighted spans. I mean the actual selection you see when dragging your cursor across text, similar to the selection appearance found in editors such as Visual Studio Code. It sounds ridiculously simple. It wasn't. After years of occasionally searching for a solution, revisiting old discussions, and experimenting wi...

I build Screenshot Happy, so take this with that in mind. This post is about a problem I kept running into on client sites: something looks fine in code review, ships on Friday, and nobody notices the broken hero section until Monday. The gap between "tests pass" and "it looks right" Unit and end-to-end tests tell you the logic works. They rarely tell you the page still looks right: a CSS change that pushes the pricing table off-screen, a third-party script that covers the chec...

PHP Framework Architecture in 2026: Laravel, Symfony, Slim, and a Lightweight Approach PHP has no shortage of frameworks. Laravel and Symfony dominate a large part of the modern PHP ecosystem. Slim remains a popular choice when a smaller HTTP layer is enough. And there are developers who prefer building more of the application architecture themselves. I am one of them. I started building DBM Framework because I wanted a smaller application execution layer where important architect...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Describe the transaction. Review the entry. Understand your books. LedgerFriend is an experimental bookkeeping assistant for Indian sole proprietors, built for the Hacktoberfest 2026 Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend. The idea is simple: a small-business owner should be able to describe a transaction in ordinary language, review the proposed accounting treatment, and generate organised book...

Most buttons just sit there and wait to be clicked. This one doesn't. Wrium Evasive Button is a small plugin for Wrium that makes a button (or any interactive element) smoothly dodge the cursor when you get close. It's silly on purpose, but it turns out to be surprisingly useful. Why would you want this? Smart form validation: the submit button stays out of reach until the required fields are valid Gamified forms and playful login screens Interactive confirmat...

Yapay zeka modellerini mobil bir uygulamaya entegre etmek ilk bakışta basit bir API çağrısı gibi görünse de; ağ gecikmesi, görsel boyutu optimizasyonu ve deterministik veri çıkışı alma gibi konular işin içine girdiğinde ciddi bir mühendislik mimarisi gerektiriyor. Bu yazıda, yakın zamanda iOS App Store'da yayına aldığım SafeBite AI uygulamasının teknik mimarisini, mobil kamera akışından API'ye kadar uzanan hattı ve karşılaştığım optimizasyon problemlerini nasıl çözdüğümü paylaşıyorum. ...

Note: These are my learning notes from my current phase. I am keeping them as I wrote them so I can look back and see my progress. Computer Programming This section talks about computer langauges from Low level languges to high level language, the compiler and interpreted languages. Python Data types; Numbers: integers, floating-point numbers, and complex numbers Strings: Are character sequences. List are ordered group of elements tuples ...

The recent compromise of Microsoft’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, utilized to promote the "Clippy" memecoin, represents far more than a localized cybersecurity breach. For global investors navigating the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized assets, this incident serves as a critical case study in the weaponization of "trust leverage." It highlights a systemic vulnerability where the established authority of a global IT titan is converted into a high-velocity vehicle fo...

Every time I evaluate admin dashboard templates for internal tools, micro-SaaS backends, or client projects, I run into the exact same frustration: 200MB+ node_modules folders Heavy client-side framework lock-in Complex bundlers (Vite, Webpack, Turbopack) requiring constant dependency maintenance Fragile build chains that break when packages upgrade I wanted to challenge this pattern and explore how far modern web fundamentals can go. So I built the Maxic Fintech & SaaS Ad...

Introduction Most EF Core releases are a bag of small quality-of-life fixes. EF Core 10 has a few of those too, but it also lands several changes that remove long-standing workarounds: you no longer hand-write a GroupJoin plus SelectMany plus DefaultIfEmpty to get a left join, you no longer have one all-or-nothing global query filter, and you can now do vector similarity search against SQL Server without a bolt-on. This video runs through the headline features against a small blog/b...

Most lottery prediction sites show you their wins. Mine shows you the misses — every single one, on a public status page. Here's why I built it that way, and what 51 draws of Hong Kong Mark Six data actually look like under an honest model. The setup I maintain three independent number generators for Mark Six (6 numbers out of 49, plus an extra number): Science — frequency, recency, and omission-gap weighting over the last 51 draws Physics — ball-machine simulation p...

TL;DR : vLLM 0.30.0 can keep a model's weights in a long-running daemon so that engines restart without reloading them ( load_format="ipc_cache" ). Before an engine uses those weights, both sides compare a fingerprint, and the docs describe the checkpoint part of it as "checkpoint content". In the code it is a hash of each shard's file name and safetensors header: tensor names, shapes, dtypes and offsets, but no tensor values. Two checkpoints with the same layout, such as a base model and a fine...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend What I Built I built FriendPrep AI , an interview practice app for a friend preparing for job interviews. Instead of practicing with the same generic question list, they can enter their target role, skills, experience, resume, and a job description to get a more tailored practice session. The app generates interview questions, evaluates answers with scores and feedback, can ask follow-up quest...

Part 3 of 10 · Building an Agentic Change-Approval MVP on MuleSoft Part 2 put the architecture on one page: agents in Agent Fabric, Omni Gateway in front of everything they touch, and MCP tools over Mule APIs. This part goes one level down. How do you decide where each of the 21 steps lives, and what does the broker's graph actually look like? Step 1: sort every step before drawing anything We started with a spreadsheet, not a diagram. One row per step, and four questions p...

TL;DR: CISA advisory ICSA-26-274-02 (October 1, 2026) lists four vulnerabilities in all versions of the Monta EV charging platform (monta.app), the worst rated CVSS 9.4. The OCPP WebSocket endpoints do not authenticate charging stations, and station IDs are publicly visible. Anyone operating chargers through Monta should enable OCPP 1.6 Security Profile 2 (Basic Auth over TLS) with a unique password per station as soon as possible. What CISA published CVE Weakness C...
