Microsoft is announcing a massive restructuring of its Xbox studios today, months after laying off 1,600 Xbox employees and selling off studios. The latest changes will see Activision take on the Halo and Sea of Thieves franchises, as well as Age of Empires. Microsoft is also laying off around 268 Xbox employees as part of […]

Microsoft is laying off around 260 Xbox employees today, as part of an ongoing "reset" of its gaming business. 1,600 Xbox employees were impacted by layoffs in July, with Xbox CEO Asha Sharma describing the cuts as "the most significant restructure in Xbox history." Today's layoffs are part of the 3,200 roles that were previously […]

Microsoft is uniting its two Forza developers into a single studio today, as part of a massive restructuring of Xbox. Playground Games, which develops Forza Horizon, and Turn 10 Studios, creators of Forza Motorsport, are merging together to focus on Forza Horizon and Fable. "Playground and Turn 10 will come together as one studio focused […]

Xbox has become a shell of its former self - and things are only getting worse. As part of its planned cuts impacting around 3,200 workers, the company announced today more changes that will further dilute the brand. Studios are being consolidated, others are on the brink of being closed altogether, and Xbox's most iconic […]

Researchers say another looming threat hangs over some of America's most important critical infrastructure.

Claude Code talks too much, and its status bar tells you nothing. So I built two open-source plugins to fix both — and a third, experimental one that redraws the transcript itself. This is the engineering: how the conciseness layer works, how it's measured, why the status bar is architected the way it is, and what building on Claude Code's undocumented function hooks actually looks like. Everything here is in clear-claude on GitHub, MIT licensed. Every number below is a measured one; where ...

By Hitesh Gandhi( @hgandhi ) and Qi Zhao Introduction The Sponsor amendment ( XLS-68: Sponsored Fees and Reserves ) introduces a way for one XRPL account to pay transaction fees and owner reserves on behalf of another account without taking custody of that account's XRP. This lets exchanges, wallets, token issuers, and applications simplify onboarding by covering network costs for their users while those users retain full control of their keys and accounts. XLS-68 supports ...

An AI chatbot creates a new data pathway through your website. A visitor submits text, retrieval selects context, a model generates an answer, and several systems may retain the exchange. Protecting that pathway requires architectural controls before the first token reaches an inference endpoint. For WordPress developers, the central question is straightforward: which information crosses which boundary, under whose authority, and for how long? HIPAA and GDPR considerations turn those engineer...

SpikeForge Dashboard is the desktop interface for experiments made with the SpikeForge spiking-neural-network toolkit. Its desktop builds moved through 0.2.5 and 0.2.6 after a run of smaller releases that established the packaging path. The dashboard exists for the part of the work that is awkward in a terminal: looking at an experiment, checking what was loaded, and keeping the result close to the configuration that produced it. It is a React and TypeScript dashboard packaged as a desktop a...

Hi Guys!!! As you know I wasn't good for well, a week and Now..... Let's Dive In!!! I never consciously decided which AI gets which job. Somehow, I just ended up with a ranking in my head. It just happened — one small decision at a time, until one day you noticed you have an entire unconscious hierarchy, and you can't fully explain how it got built. Here's mine, laid bare. The IDE has its own pecking order I use Antigravity as my AI IDE now — GitHub Copilot went pay...

My last post about Filament Studio was about v1.2.0 and multilingual content, back in April. Since then I have shipped two larger things: an MCP server, so AI agents can manage collections and records, and Flows , an automation engine inside the plugin. Flows has a visual designer, four trigger types (manual, webhook, collection event, cron), a set of operations (create/update records, HTTP requests, email, conditions, calling another flow), draft/publish versioning, and a step-through deb...

Sometimes an application needs Raft semantics, but it does not need another general-purpose distributed system. An existing scheduler, control plane, metadata service, or coordination service may already have its own domain model and API. What it lacks is a safe way for several instances to elect a leader, agree on an ordered command stream, and apply that stream to local state. The usual choices are not always comfortable: implement Raft inside the application; redesign the appl...

In the previous post, I started working out what EvoWild Run is actually supposed to be as a game. Raise Creatures. Breed them. Continue their lineages across generations. Race them on Courses with different conditions, then use the results to influence the next breeding decisions. Eventually, players may also be able to create Courses themselves. But one major question was still unresolved: What does the player actually do after the race starts? I left that question open in ...

api, #cybersecurity, #webdev, #python The 250 OK Lie I Measured Last Tuesday Last Tuesday I ran a small experiment: I took 50 email addresses that had already passed two layers of validation, regex syntax and a live SMTP handshake, and 48 of them returned 250 OK . I then sent a real, plain-text message to each one. Twelve bounced. Not rejected at the gate. Not caught by spam filters. Bounced. If you've ever trusted RCPT TO as the final word on deliverability, that number s...

If you've been following Linux security, you know that eBPF is a double-edged sword. It's incredible for observability and networking, but it's also the new favorite playground for Linux rootkits. Most open-source security rules try to catch eBPF malware when it loads into the kernel (usually by watching bpftool **or the **bpf() syscall). But I noticed a gap in the Elastic Security detection-rules repository: What about when the malware compiles itself? ** To dodge file hashes and static...

Ti conviene pubblicarlo dopo una piccola revisione: il contenuto è buono, ma nel testo che hai incollato ci sono alcuni problemi di Markdown e il link finale al repository punta ancora al vecchio MyZubster-Ecosystem. Qui sotto ti lascio una versione pulita e pronta da incollare su DEV.to, mantenendo il tono tecnico e “build in public”. Building MyZubster in Public: Marketplace Validation, Metaverse Progress, and the Bugs We Found MyZubster is an open-source ecosystem connecting community proje...
