Web Development TypeScript 7.0 Beta Is Out — The Compiler Is Now Written in Go and It's 10x Faster TypeScript 7.0 Beta dropped yesterday. The entire compiler has been ported from TypeScript/JavaScript to Go, and the numbers are real. The Sentry codebase drops from 133 seconds to 16. Editor startup drops from 9.6 seconds to 1.2. Memory usage is roughly halved.
Cybersecurity Claude Mythos Found 271 Zero-Days in Firefox 150. This Is What the New World Looks Like. In February, Anthropic's Frontier Red Team used Claude Opus 4.6 to find 22 vulnerabilities in Firefox in two weeks — more than were reported in any single month in all of 2025. Then Mythos arrived. Firefox 150, released today, patches 271 vulnerabilities found by Claude.
Cybersecurity Google and Cloudflare Set a 2029 PQC Deadline. The Rest of Big Tech Did Not. Two papers dropped at the end of March. Both said the same thing in different ways: the quantum threat to elliptic curve cryptography is closer than we thought. How close? The kind of close that made Google set an internal deadline five years ahead of what the US government asked
Cybersecurity One Employee. One OAuth Token. The Vercel Breach Explained Vercel confirmed a security breach on April 18-19, 2026, tracing back to a compromised third-party AI tool and a single employee's Google Workspace connection. Here is the full attack chain, what was actually exposed, and what you need to do right now.
Cybersecurity What is OAuth? Every time you click "Sign in with Google" or "Connect your GitHub account," you are using OAuth. You have used it hundreds of times. Most developers have implemented it at least once. And the April 2026 Vercel breach, which exposed credentials for hundreds of organizations, happened
Minecraft Featured Your Minecraft Server Isn't Slow, It's Misconfigured Can't keep up! is not a hardware message. It's the server telling you a tick took longer than 50ms, and almost every cause is a default nobody changed. Here's what actually moves MSPT, with the flags that are now wrong and the setting that isn't where every guide says it is.
Artificial intelligence Build Your Own AI Coding Assistant With Access to Your Entire Codebase (2026) GitHub Copilot charges $19/month and sends your entire codebase to Microsoft's servers. You can build something better — one that knows your whole project, costs $0/month after hardware, and never phones home.
Minecraft Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Folia: What You're Actually Running There is a fifteen-year fork tree underneath every Minecraft server, and most admins copy a jar without knowing what's in it. Here's the whole chain, with the code — including the config key most DAB guides get wrong.
Cybersecurity CVE-2026-33032: The nginx-ui MCP Vulnerability That Hands Attackers Full Server Control CVE-2026-33032, dubbed MCPwn, is a CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass in nginx-ui's MCP integration that lets any attacker on the internet restart your Nginx server, rewrite your configs, and intercept all traffic -- in two HTTP requests, no credentials required. Roughly 2,700 instances are exposed.
Linux Linux 7.1 MMC Changes Finally Land After Linus Called the 7.0 Submission "Complete Garbage" Back in February 2026, Linus Torvalds rejected the entire MMC subsystem pull request for Linux 7.0, calling it "complete garbage" and "untested crap" because it didn't build properly and bypassed linux-next. Linux 7.1 gets it right.
Cybersecurity BlueHammer: The Unpatched Windows Zero-Day That Weaponizes Microsoft Defender Against Your Own System BlueHammer is an unpatched, publicly released Windows local privilege escalation exploit that chains Microsoft Defender's update workflow, Volume Shadow Copy, Cloud Files callbacks, and opportunistic locks to reach NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM from a standard user account.
Cybersecurity Anthropic's Claude Now Requires Government ID and a Selfie — Users Are Furious Anthropic quietly rolled out identity verification for Claude subscriptions, asking for passports and live selfies via third-party vendor Persona. ChatGPT and Gemini require neither. Here's why this decision is a mess, who's actually affected, and what Persona's track record means for your data.
Artificial intelligence AI Agents Are Breaking the Internet. The Numbers Are Staggering. ChatGPT. Claude. GitHub. All of them went down — repeatedly — and it's not a coincidence. AI agents are generating traffic at a scale human developers never could, and the infrastructure holding up your entire dev workflow was never designed for this.
Artificial intelligence Claude Mythos Hacked Every Major OS, Escaped Its Sandbox, and Emailed a Researcher Eating a Sandwich. We Need to Talk. I use AI as a tool. I'll say that upfront. Claude helps me write frontends faster. It handles search queries that Google stopped being useful for three years ago. I hand it boilerplate I've written by hand a thousand times and I get time back. That&
Artificial intelligence Anthropic Just Wrote Apache a $1.5M Check. Here's Why That Number Is Both Impressive and Embarrassing Anthropic's $1.5M donation seeds a $10M Responsible AI Initiative at the Apache Software Foundation. That's more than half of ASF's entire annual budget in one shot — which tells you everything about how badly the open source infrastructure powering AI has been underfunded.
Artificial intelligence Featured Your Code Doesn't Have to Leave the Building A local LLM is three layers: weights on disk, a runtime that loads them, an interface that talks to it. Once you see the stack that way, the hardware question answers itself and the tuning stops being guesswork.
Cybersecurity CVE-2025-62718: Critical Axios SSRF Vulnerability Explained A critical SSRF flaw in Axios was used in a North Korean supply chain attack. Here's what it does and how to patch it today.
Artificial intelligence OpenClaw: The Lobster That Broke the Internet, Burned Through Every LLM's Compute Budget, and Started a War Between Anthropic and OpenAI A retired Austrian developer built an open-source AI agent for fun in November 2025. Within 90 days, Jensen Huang called it the most successful open-source project in human history.
Artificial intelligence AI Agents Are Breaking the Internet — And Nobody's Ready for the Bill ChatGPT went down 28,000-report strong in February 2026. Claude had back-to-back outages within 24 hours in March. GitHub logged 37 incidents in a single month and is running at 90.21% uptime — one nine, not three. AI agents aren't just using infrastructure.
Programming Python's frozendict Is Finally Happening — And It's More Important Than You Think Python 3.15 ships a built-in frozendict — hashable, O(1) lookups, order-preserving, thread-safe by design. Here's the full technical picture: the 14-year history, how hashing works, what it unlocks for lru_cache and free-threaded Python, and every sharp edge you need to know before you use it.
