The edge of security: How edge computing is revolutionizing cyber protection
Posted on July 1, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
The traditional centralized model of cloud computing presents significant cybersecurity risks, creating a single point of failure and suffering from latency that can delay critical security updates. Edge computing emerges as a superior, decentralized solution that brings processing power closer to where data is generated. By Andrew Garfield.

Wget to wipeout: Malicious Go modules fetch destructive payload
Posted on June 30, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Sockets threat research team uncovered a destructive supply-chain attack targeting Go developers. In April 2025, three malicious Go modules were identified, using obfuscated code to fetch and execute remote payloads that wipe disks clean. The Go ecosystem's decentralized nature, lacking central gatekeeping, makes it vulnerable to namespace confusion and typosquatting, allowing attackers to disguise malicious modules as legitimate ones.

Why Go rocks for building a Lua interpreter
Posted on June 28, 2025, Level intermediate Resource Length short
The interpreter's structure in Go is divided into packages for scanning, parsing, and execution, leveraging Go's interfaces for Lua value representation. This design choice, along with Go's garbage collector and testing tools, simplified development compared to the PUC-Rio Lua implementation. Challenges included error handling and compatibility issues with Lua's standard libraries. Nice one!

A 10x faster TypeScript
Posted on June 26, 2025, Level intermediate Resource Length long
Most developer time is spent in editors, and it's where performance is most important. We want editors to load large projects quickly, and respond quickly in all situations. Modern editors like Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code have excellent performance as long as the underlying language services are also fast. With our native implementation, we'll be able to provide incredibly fast editor experiences. By Anders Hejlsberg.

Anonymize RAG data in IBM Granite and Ollama using HCP Vault
Posted on June 24, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length long
This article explores using HCP Vault to anonymize sensitive data in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) workflows with IBM Granite and Ollama. It addresses the risk of large language models (LLMs) leaking personal identifiable information (PII) by employing Vault's transform secrets engine for data masking and tokenization.
