OpenAI agents and RubyGems: what the May attack report found

In May, RubyGems.org was flooded with more than 2,000 spam packages, some carrying files named evil.rb and hack.rb . On September 11, three researchers published a report at rubyhack.ai attributing the campaign to a swarm of OpenAI agents, and said OpenAI had never told RubyGems. OpenAI confirmed the incident to Reuters and called the tasks "benign". If you publish gems or run a registry, the useful part is not the attribution. It is what the agents found open, and what RubyGems closed. ...

Feature Flags Are Not Authorization

Feature flags are great for rollout. They are a terrible substitute for authorization. A common pattern: ship an admin screen or a beta API behind a flag. Flip it off in production for most users. Flip it on for a few accounts. Ship. Move on. That controls product exposure . It does not control who is allowed to do the thing . What flags actually decide A flag answers questions like: Is this feature ready for this cohort? Should we show the new UI in staging? Are...

Running Microsoft Paint 3D on Windows 11 After Its Store Removal

Microsoft Paint 3D is an interesting example of software that has been discontinued without immediately becoming unusable. The application is no longer actively developed or distributed in the Microsoft Store, but existing installations continue to work and the final Windows package can still run on compatible systems. Why people still use Paint 3D Despite the name, Paint 3D is useful for more than basic 3D work. Typical tasks include: removing image backgrounds work...

Healthcare API Integration: How to Connect Payers, Providers, and Patient Portals

The uncomfortable 2026 reality is that “FHIR-ready” no longer means integration-ready. In April, CMS proposed extending electronic prior authorization requirements to drugs while impacted payers are already approaching January 1, 2027 deadlines for Provider Access, Payer-to-Payer, Prior Authorization, and expanded Patient Access APIs. That puts Healthcare API integration under a harsher test: can payer, provider, EHR, and patient-portal data move securely, consistently, and with usable c...

ROW_NUMBER vs RANK vs DENSE_RANK: one of them silently duplicates your Top-N

I was reviewing a "top 3 products per category" report last week and found a bug that had been live for months. One category showed four products. Another showed the same product twice. The query used RANK() . It should have used ROW_NUMBER() . They look interchangeable in a tutorial and behave completely differently the moment your data has ties. The setup Here is a small sales table with an obvious tie — two products in the same category sold 120 units: CREATE ...

The NOT IN trap: why your SQL query returns zero rows

A query that returns an empty result is usually a wrong WHERE clause. But there is one class of empty result that confuses even experienced people, because every row it filters on looks correct: NOT IN with a NULL in the subquery. The failure Two tables. Customers, and the orders they placed: CREATE TABLE customers ( id int , name text ); CREATE TABLE orders ( customer_id int ); INSERT INTO customers VALUES ( 1 , 'Ada' ), ...

DealMind: Building an AI Sales Agent That Remembers, Learns, and Adapts

Building DealMind: An AI Sales Agent That Remembers, Learns, and Adapts Sales conversations rarely happen in a single interaction. A customer might have multiple calls, emails, meetings, product demonstrations, negotiations, and follow-ups. Somewhere along the way, important information gets scattered across CRM notes, meeting summaries, documents, and the salesperson's own memory. The result? Sales representatives spend valuable time reconstructing what happened before a meeting an...

PostgreSQL vs MySQL: 7 syntax differences that break migrations

Porting a working MySQL schema to PostgreSQL is rarely a find-and-replace. The SQL standard leaves enough room that the two engines disagree on quoting, types, upserts, and pagination — and most of the disagreements fail at runtime, not at parse time. Here are the seven that cost me the most time. 1. Identifier quoting is not the same character MySQL uses backticks, PostgreSQL uses double quotes (which is the ANSI standard): SELECT `order` FROM orders ; ...

HTML Explained Using a Simple House Analogy

If HTML feels confusing, imagine you're building a house. You're standing on an empty piece of land. You have a vision of what you want the finished house to look like. Maybe you want beautiful colours. Comfortable furniture. Large windows. Smart lighting. Automatic doors. A modern kitchen. But there's a problem. You can't start with the decorations. You need a structure first. That simple idea can help you understand one of the most fundamental technologies o...
