A customer asked if they needed to restore a database from backup to compare the schema in a database. They don’t and this post shows that.This is part of a series of posts on SQL Compare. Setting Up a ComparisonWhen I open SQL Compare, I see a screen that looks like what I’ve shown below, with a database to database comparison.At the top, to the left of “Source”, there is a drop down arrow. If I pick that I see these choices: database, backup, snapshow, scripts folder, SQL Source Control, SQL Change Automation, Flyway. Those last 3 are project types…

Legit Security this week added a dashboard to its application security posture management (ASPM) platform that makes it simpler to correlate the creation of a vulnerability to a specific application development team.Company CTO Liav Caspi said the risk prevention dashboard also makes it possible to identify missing guardrails, such as a static application security testing (SAST) tool, that might not have been turned on as code moved through a DevSecOps pipeline.These insights create a teaching opportunity using, for example, gamification capabilities built into a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that can be used to further adoption of best DevSecOps practices, he added.Finally,…
Microsoft has taken another significant step in advancing secure virtualization technology with the release of Hyperlight Wasm, expanding the capabilities of its embedded VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) project announced last year. This new open-source offering bridges the gap between WebAssembly and micro-VM security, creating exciting possibilities for developers across platforms.Expanding the Hyperlight EcosystemThe original Hyperlight project emerged as an innovative solution for VM-based security, specifically designed for small embedded functions within Windows and Linux applications. It offered a lightweight approach to virtualization that could be integrated directly into applications, providing isolation without the overhead of traditional VMs.Microsoft has significantly broadened…
Telegram has eventually become something more than a mere messaging app since its official release in 2013. Back then, nobody could imagine that Pavel Durov’s project would become one of the most popular instant messaging applications with 1 billion active users. If you use Telegram on your Linux desktop to communicate with other people or get information from its channels, there is a way to make the most of this platform and increase your productivity. What this means is that there exist various Telegram bots, applications that run on the platform and provide additional features. The best thing about such…

Imandra today launched an artificial intelligence (AI) agent, dubbed CodeLogician, that uses symbolic models to transform source code into mathematical models that can then be validated and tested in a way that is more accurate than relying on a large language model (LLM).Using neurosymbolic models, those mathematical representations can then be analyzed using an automated reasoning engine that is invoked via a cloud service, using the open-source Langraph framework for orchestrating the management of AI agents. Initially, CodeLogican can be applied to Python code, with support for Java, COBOL and other programming languages planned.Dr. Grant Passmore, co-CEO of Imandra, said…
Chrome 135 (in Beta as I write, probably stable early April?) will have customizable select elements in it. You opt-in to it in CSS, and once you have, you can go ham on styling regular ol’ , , ‘n’ friends elements. Very progressive-enhancement friendly as a select without custom styling is… fine. It’s interesting and notable that even when it does ship Chrome is prepared to protect the web: Chrome has the features behind a Finch experiment in case there is an emergency need to turn it off. If things go well, the experiment will end and the code will…
