After analysing the extra changes from the bump, not included in the CVE fixes, I have concluded this approach carries the lower ...

Neon sticks it to A24 by announcing a Creative Commons SCP Foundation movie

A24 pissed off one of the internet's largest horror communities when it announced it was working on an SCP Foundation film, but apparently hadn't bothered to contact the SCP Wiki team, nor did it commit to releasing it under a Creative Commons license as required. Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by […]

Is Neko Health’s body scan worth it? Spotify billionaire’s startup has come to America

Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health raised $700 million to build a business around scanning your body, but it’s not the only company centering its roadmap around a new kind of preventative healthcare.

The Pentagon taps Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help decide what the military should do next

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just launched a 120-day study on the future of warfare, led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, and while it makes sense given their ties to the administration, critics could point out that Musk's and Luckey's companies already sell the kinds of technology the study is likely to recommend.

Find the bugs your users are complaining about: mining App Store reviews with Python

Your one-star reviews are the cheapest bug reports you will ever get. People take the time to write down what broke, on which device, after which update, and they do it in public. The trouble is reading them: the App Store shows one country at a time, mixes praise with complaints, and has no export button. This guide pulls the low-star reviews for an app into Python, then answers three questions a product or QA team actually asks: Where are the complaints coming from? Which app version...

My Discord bot's auto-role setting said ON in 127 servers. It worked in 2.

The dashboard showed the toggle on. The status command said enabled. No member had ever received a role. I found this while working on something else. A dashboard to-do claimed that auto-roles and my verification gate "both act on join and conflict", and asked me to add a warning about the clash. Before building the warning I went to check how the two interact. They don't interact, because auto-roles had no code path on join at all. The member-join handler never touched them. The only plac...

Discord gives your bot exactly 100 slash commands. I hit 100 and found out from a failing test.

Discord limits an app to 100 global slash commands. Subcommands and subcommand groups do not count toward it. My bot, Akiko, sits at exactly 100. I learned where the wall is the hard way. I added a /settings command, the total became 101, and a test failed with expected 101 to be less than or equal to 100 . In production the same mistake shows up as Discord error code 30032 when you deploy your commands. The most useful thing in the repo is a boring test There is a test tha...
