Your venv is activated and IntelliSense resolves everything, but the terminal runs a different Python. Here's why VS Code tracks two separate Pythons, and the real fix. Adapted from the VS Code Essentials Companion Guide. You created a virtual environment, activated it, installed your packages
Hey everyone, I’m a MERN stack developer looking to take on some real projects and build up my portfolio. I can work on things like: Full-stack websites using MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js REST APIs and backend development User authentication / login & signup JWT authentication and pr
In August, we experienced five incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services. The post GitHub availability report: August 2026 appeared first on The GitHub Blog.

I've always wanted to make a visualization where the speed of light was scaled down to human speeds, so that we could intuit relativistic effects with everyday objects. And here is the first version of it! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49637385 Points: 24 # Comments: 16
The vanna-ai/vanna repository was archived by its owner on 29 March 2026. 23.8k stars, read-only, no pinned explanation that I could find. I'm not going to speculate about why - that's the maintainers' business, and a lot of people got real value out of it for free. What I do want to write down is
Illustration generated for this article. Every prop is a finding: the sack of blank name badges is the Faker persona namespace, the rubber stamp is the inert tracking parameter, the three coins are the break-even, and the red yarn connects nothing because attribution failed. TL;DR — A spam comment
Note: This is my first ever blog post, so my apologies in advance if it's not up to par. Also, since this is my first post, I decided to not use any AI for polishing, etc., so that the reader can get a better feel for who I am as a writer. Introduction The purpose of this blog post is to

Hi! I made tetris with powerups that runs fully in your terminal. To try it out, just generate an SSH key ssh-keygen if you don't already have one, then ssh into the server. Your SSH key is your identity; no account is required. ssh play@cursedtetris.orangishcat.dev If you want to play offl
I lost most of a day to a bug that never once failed. I was building a contract that pays for its own future: an access subscription that re-arms itself on-chain through the Hedera Schedule Service, so an agent pays once and the window keeps renewing with nobody awake. The scheduling turned out to
When a setting changes unexpectedly, engineers need three answers: what changed, who changed it, and what was there before? Recent investigations and older compliance queries have different latency and cost needs. This article presents a generic design using two short-lived online tables and a long-
The Hidden World of SFPU Rounding In my work on tt-metal (Tenstorrent's ML framework), I encountered a subtle but critical bug in the SFPU (SFPU = Tensor Processing Unit math unit) that caused intermediate overflow in floating-point computation chains. Here's what I found. What is the SF
Choosing a Mature Library Over Custom Security Code Last week I submitted a PR to pytorch/torchtitan adding SSRF protection to the image decoder URL fetcher. My initial approach was a full custom implementation — resolving DNS, validating each IP against private/loopback/link-local ranges, manuall
A trafficking template copies last quarter's instream tag, changes one field to pause inventory, and ships. The VAST response validates. The buyer's filter reads plcmt=5 and playbackmethod=1 in the same <Extension> block and treats the impression as a generic instream spot with sound on, not a
The word was qara, "black". I fed it to an off-the-shelf TTS model, hit play, and got back a soft, polite, very Turkish kara. In Crimean Tatar къ and к are two separate sounds, and къ sits inside words we say every day: yoq, qız, vaqıt, qadar. Getting it wrong is not an accent. It is the model quie
An MCP server exposes tools. It does not repair an API that leaves side effects, retries, data limits, and recovery ambiguous. Use this checklist before exposing an endpoint to an agent. Classify the effect Every tool should identify one effect: read, draft, state_change, or irreversibl
A lightweight, self-hosted alternative for side projects and early-stage startups. Most early-stage products have the same blind spot: users leave, but you don’t know where they got stuck. The obvious fix is session replay-until a simple debugging tool becomes another growing SaaS bill based on
The pitch writes itself. You have an LLM doing risky things across your systems, so you add another LLM to watch it: a guard model reads each request, returns "safe" or "unsafe," you gate on that. Every AI security demo works this way. We built the opposite. Aggrete governs what AI assistants can d
OpenAI Agents API provides an OpenAI-hosted agent harness for long-running, tool-using workflows. You can host the agent experience on Vercel and connect each session to Vercel Sandbox for code execution and file access.OpenAI runs the agent loop and maintains session state.
