Hey! This post is a response to Abhishek Jakhar’s post about delayed tooltips, or, perhaps better put, a second part showing an alternative approach to the same problem. I really like Abhishek’s focus on the UX of the tooltips in his app. Both are true: a tooltip that comes up too fast is annoying for just-passing-by mouse cursors, and if you add a delay, they come up too slowly for someone intentionally mousing between them. That’s just good UX thinking, and I like to see it. But also, the solutions are quite deep into JavaScript land. The core of the…

Most DevSecOps teams invest heavily in security before deployment, yet attackers target the production environment where applications, APIs, and user behavior are constantly changing. If security validation stops before release, critical risks can remain hidden until they are exploited.The gap is more common than many organizations realize. A survey found that over 70% of applications are likely to contain an active vulnerability after five years in production, while 30 to 40% perform security testing only quarterly or less frequently.This is where production-safe testing changes the equation. Instead of avoiding live environments because of the risk of downtime, it enables continuous,…

A newly open-sourced Python charting library, called XY, from Reflex offers an advantage few other charting tools provide: massive scalability. The library rethinks how to render a set of points on the computer screen, and opens new possibilities for using charts in daily workflows. Most Python charting libraries today, such as Plotly, Bokeh, or Matplotlib, take a similar approach to creating charts: they serialize every data point and send it to the browser, where it is usually parsed by JavaScript. GPU acceleration can help, though portraying thousands to millions of rows can hog memory, slow interactions and frequently lead to…

makerskills is an open-source pack of AI agent skills for Claude Code. This walkthrough covers how to install it on Linux, set the required environment variables, and replace the Homebrew dependencies with packages that actually exist on apt and dnf. The official makerskills install file was written for macOS, and it shows in every step. The dependency commands use brew, the transcription tool is mlx-whisper, which runs only on Apple Silicon, and the environment variables are exported to ~/.zshenv, a file most Linux users don’t normally have. The makerskills plugin itself works fine on Linux. It’s simply a collection of…

Continuous integration and delivery changed the tempo of software. Teams merge dozens of times a day, infrastructure is redefined on every commit, and a new build can reach production in minutes. Security testing never caught up with that tempo. It still lives in two modes that both fight the pipeline instead of moving with it.The first mode is the scanner. Static analysis, dependency checks and dynamic scanners run on every build, and they are useful, but they mostly report potential issues. A SAST tool flags a pattern. A dependency scanner flags a known CVE in a package you may never…
