Explore how depth maps, TSL, and WebGPU can be combined to turn flat 2D images into dynamic surfaces with realistic lighting, surface detail, and self-shadowing.
Devs discover that Grok CLI pushed all local files, .env files and git history have been pushed to a GCP bucket, unencrypted. SpaceX’s initial reaction? Blame the devs
Just use the callable directly. The post On wrapping a callable in a lambda that just calls it with the same parameters appeared first on The Old New Thing.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Claude Code to build and debug Python projects using natural-language commands directly from your terminal. Unlike browser-based AI assistants, where you copy code back and forth, Claude Code operates inside your project directory. It reads your files, runs ...
I used to think SQLAlchemy was mostly a way to avoid writing SQL. That wasn’t a compelling pitch. I already knew SQL. Why add another abstraction and debug whatever the ORM decided to do behind the scenes? Then I built an endpoint that needed to: Update a document’s status Create signing sessions Wr...
In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of How to Use Claude Code to Write and Debug Python. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit how to install and authenticate Claude Code, how its permission modes differ, and how a plan-first workflow keeps you in control of every change that lands i...
In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of How to Review AI-Generated Python Code Efficiently. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit the five-step review workflow, the automated checks that clear the mechanical noise, and the issues that coding agents get wrong most often, like silently ...
Matlab is special. Scientists and researchers love it. Programmers hate it, and not just because it uses 1-based arrays. I've worked on a number of projects where the task was "take this Matlab code and convert it to C so we can run it on an embedded CPU". Somehow, in that process, I've avoided lear...
My colleague Marko Ilić has published an insightful piece on how to schedule work on the critical path, and I recommend reading it before proceeding here.

I started up a little project to go to most of the taco joints in town. I say most because I’m not going to every place that has tacos on the menu, like chain restaurants. I’m targeting taquerias and places that feel close to qualify as one. Ottawa is more known for shawarmas than tacos but I figure...
Platforms like DoorDash, Meta, and Deel already enable stablecoin payouts for global workers. We surveyed 2,300 workers in 20 countries to see what's driving stablecoin demand, where the opportunity is highest, and how other platforms can adapt.
A few weeks ago a paper was shared that showed how to extract reasoning traces from closed-weight models. Together with online discussions about tricking models into leaking them, it made me investigate it more out of curiosity. Twitter seems full of half-truths and confusion about how this works, s...
