Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
A China-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) group has been attributed to a highly-targeted cyber espionage campaign in which the adversary poisoned Domain Name System (DNS) requests to deliver its signature MgBot backdoor in attacks targeting victims in Türkiye, China, and India. The activity, Kaspersky said, was observed between November 2022 and November 2024. It has […]
I’ll admit, when container queries first shipped back in 2022, I didn’t really pay attention. I mean, why container size queries when we already have media queries? Why container style queries when custom properties inherit anyway (they don’t work with standard properties… yet)? Their use cases seemed like edge cases to me, enabling us to […]
I recently revisited one of my old backend projects. Everything was working fine. No errors. No failing APIs.

The Frame TV is the most famous example, but the company also released the Music Frame, a speaker disguised as a picture frame, at last year’s CES. Now, instead of hiding a speaker with a piece of […]
The Apple Watch helps people track their health and fitness, but it can also be a great tool to help people stay productive and get work done. This is especially true for people who get easily distracted by their phone. Although the Apple Watch comes with simple built-in productivity apps like Reminders and Calendar, it’s […]
There are many existing web features and technologies in the wild that you may never touch directly in your day-to-day work. Perhaps you’re fairly new to web development and are simply unaware of them because you’re steeped in the abstraction of a specific framework that doesn’t require you to know it deeply, or even at […]
