Microsoft broke Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Excel

4+ hour, 59+ min ago   (663+ words) Somewhere inside the September 2026 Office updates, Microsoft shot itself in the foot again. Excel decided that copying and pasting cells was no longer part of its job:) Microsoft has confirmed the problem in KB5002914. It can affect Excel 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2024. AutoFill, formula…...

When Every Event Looks Normal: Logster and the Context Gap in Endpoint Detection

4+ hour, 59+ min ago   (1029+ words) A PowerShell process starts. A script appears in a temporary directory. A scheduled task is registered. A connection goes out to an unfamiliar address. An analyst could find a reasonable explanation for each of those actions. Software deployment, perhaps. A…...

An HTTP 200 is not a delivered job application

5+ hour, 57+ min ago   (336+ words) Every auto-apply tool I have taken apart marks an application "sent" at the same moment: the instant it dispatches the click. That is a read-back of our own input, and it is the weakest signal in the whole pipeline. I…...

Why a PR walkthrough can pass validation and still be hard to read

8+ hour, 32+ min ago   (770+ words) I made an HTML guide for reading pull requests. When I shared it with coworkers, the visual feedback was encouraging, but I still felt that parts were hard to follow. One person wanted to see the explanation before the code…...

Agent orchestrators and agent coordinators are not the same layer

8+ hour, 11+ min ago   (702+ words) If you only ever run one coding agent, you do not need either of these. Close the tab, you are fine. For everyone else: I maintain Foremerge, and a couple of weeks ago I submitted it to a list called…...

I Blamed the Firewall for 48 Hours. localhost Resolved to IPv6 First

8+ hour, 34+ min ago   (786+ words) This is a 48-hour field notebook, not a victory lap. I will show what I tried, what actually broke, and the small reproduction I wish I had run in the first hour. If you strip every product name out of…...

The browser-training speedup was a curve, not one headline number

9+ hour, 9+ min ago   (147+ words) The WebGPU path did not have one honest speedup number. Against multithreaded WASM SIMD, the measured improvement was 2.6 times on the Small preset, 6.8 times on Medium, 9.3 times on Large, and 12.1 times on XL. Loss drift ranged from 1.1% to 2.5% across the same…...

A live crypto price ticker on a static site, three ways

9+ hour, 41+ min ago   (635+ words) I run a small static site on Netlify and wanted a scrolling price ticker across the top. No build step, no server, and ideally no signup. Here is what I tried and where each one hurt. The shortest path is…...

Nobody Warns You the Data Engineering Interview Isn't About Data Engineering

9+ hour, 38+ min ago   (343+ words) I've sat on both sides of the interview table more times than I can count. Here's the thing nobody tells you going in: the interview almost never tests what it claims to. You think it's testing SQL. It's testing whether…...
