Most pomodoro apps gate your own history behind a paywall. Marinara and Focus To-Do (among others) only keep a month of data on the free tier. I wanted to actually analyze months of tracked time, not lose it after four weeks. On top of that, I track dates on the Persian (Jalali) calendar, which none

Run this in your browser console: btoa('café'); // 'Y2Fm6Q==' Now encode the same word as UTF-8 first: btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new TextEncoder().encode('café'))); // 'Y2Fmw6k=' Same word, two different answers. Both are valid base64. Neither one throws. Only the second is what

I recently attended Build with Gemini Tokyo, a two-day event hosted by Google. https://cloudonair.withgoogle.com/events/build-with-gemini26q3 The event was a hands-on workshop focused on building AI agents using tools such as Antigravity, ADK (Agent Development Kit), and Agents CLI. Rather than s

We began choosing CSS tools depending on what a robot could read. In late August 2026, both Linear and Cursor said they were moving to Meta's StyleX, with Cursor ripping out Tailwind and Linear migrating from styled-components. ## Wait, why would anyone leave Tailwind? Tailwind became popular becaus

I recently shipped a small Apify Actor — a keyword-based monitor for a government data portal, built with Playwright + Camoufox (a hardened Firefox build for stealth automation). It works, and it's live: it turned out to be a much better debugging exercise than I expected. Three bugs in particular c

WordPress makes it easy to write code that works and easy to write code that lasts, and those are not the same skill. Hooks, filters, custom post types, widgets — the platform hands you enough rope to build something maintainable or something that collapses the moment a second developer touches it.

The first time I seriously doubted the framework was not because the model hallucinated. It was because the answer looked plausible, contained a citation, and was still wrong. The assistant had retrieved a chunk from a deprecated help page because one part of the pipeline applied a metadata filter,

Published 2026-09-06 Every regulatory claim here was read from the primary document on that date, and each is cited in the policy sources. Guidance moves — the ASD ISM is revised roughly monthly — so check the sources before acting on any of it. Germany's BSI recommends that post-quantum key esta

If you’ve built production apps in React Native, you’ve likely felt the friction of styling. On one hand, you have the built-in StyleSheet.create(). It’s performant, but it requires writing boilerplate object literals for every single component, leading to massive files and endless style-name inven

المنصة اللي جاية بعد الموبايل مش خيال علمي — بتتبنى قدام عينينا دلوقتي. جوجل هتطلق أول نظارة AI ليها في ٢٠٢٦، سامسونج طلعت Galaxy AI Glasses بالفعل، وRayNeo عرضت جيل جديد بالتعاون مع Dolby وBang & Olufsen. تلات شركات عالمية بتتسابق في نفس السنة بالظبط — ده مش تجربة، ده بداية سباق منصة حقيقية.

The most expensive RAG failure is often not an empty search result. It is a confident answer built on chunks that should never have been retrieved in the first place. A user asks, “What is my order status?” The system retrieves three generic shipping policy documents, one old FAQ, and a refund gui

Part 1 of the series "Agent Toolkit for AWS in Practice." Agent Toolkit for AWS gives your coding agent two things it normally lacks: curated knowledge of how AWS services are meant to be used, and a way to actually call them. Setup is one command. This walkthrough covers the install, two verifica
