Chrome still ships no dark mode for its built-in PDF viewer. Open a white paper at 1am and you get a flashbang. So you go to the Web Store, install the extension with the most installs, click it, and… nothing happens. The page stays white. I went and read the manifests of the top results to find out why. Two reasons, and both are boring. Reason 1: the popular ones only handle file:// The extension named "PDF Dark Mode" (about 10,000 users, rated 2.5) declares exactly this: ...

TCP or UDP? Choosing the Right Protocol

1. Analogy Imagine you're sending your friend a 500-page book. You have two delivery companies. The first guarantees every page arrives in order. If page 187 gets lost, they'll resend only page 187.

The answer depends on what you're sending. That's exactly why the Internet has TCP and UDP. Why One Prot...

I built a typical AI-generated app and scanned it. It had 5 critical security holes before I touched a line of code.

A 5-minute guide to checking whether your Lovable / Bolt / Replit app is leaking your users' data, and why it probably is. I've been fixing apps built with AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Cursor, and the same handful of serious security holes shows up in almost every one. Not because the founders did anything wrong, but because the tools optimize for "make the demo work," not "keep your users' data safe." To show what I mean, I built a small task manager the way a non-technica...

Universidad Fermín Toro, Auditoría de Sistemas: Cómo Hacer una Auditoría

Publicado por Eduardo Iribarren Cuando alguien escucha la palabra "auditoría" suele pensar en cuentas, facturas y un contador con calculadora. Pero en el mundo del software hay otra auditoría, igual de rigurosa, que no revisa dinero sino código, datos y controles : la auditoría de sistemas. En este artículo explico qué es, cómo se hace paso a paso, y — para que no quede en teoría — la aplico de principio a fin sobre un sistema real: EduManage v1.0 , la plataforma de gestión académica que d...
