Confusion is a generally accepted side effect of mystery box shows. They slather on secrets with the promise of a satisfying payoff in the end, and sometimes the cast and crew even have a hard time following what's going on. But even by the standards of the genre, Dark Matter is extreme. Its multiversal premise, […]

MIT Technology Review’s How To series helps you get things done. Your thermostat may not look like a power plant. Neither does your electric vehicle, home battery, or HVAC system. But utility and energy companies increasingly want to treat them like one. A virtual power plant, or VPP, is a collection of household devices (such…

Introduction: The Systemic Failure in Application Security Onboarding Consider the scenario of a junior Application Security Engineer tasked with securing a 2-billion-line codebase, written in unfamiliar languages, within a one-month deadline. This is not a theoretical exercise but the lived experience of a recent graduate in India, whose public appeal for assistance reveals profound deficiencies in how organizations integrate and support junior AppSec talent. The pressure is unrelenting, the tools are insufficient, and the expectations are disconnected from practical realities. This case is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a broader organizational failure to address the complexities of application security in high-stakes environments. The engineer’s experience underscores a critical misalignment: the exponential growth in codebase complexity has outstripped the resources and guidance provided to those responsible for securing them. Absent a senior AppSec mentor, with limited proficiency in critical languages such as Laravel/PHP and C#, and equipped only with rudimentary tools like grep and Codex, the engineer is forced to navigate an environment rife with unseen risks. The consequences are twofold: individual inefficiency and self-doubt, compounded by organizational exposure to unmitigated security threats. The causal pathway is unambiguous: massive codebases + unrealistic deadlines + subpar tools + absent mentorship → overwhelmed engineers → cursory reviews → undetected vulnerabilities → systemic security compromise. The risks extend beyond individual burnout to include data breaches, financial liabilities, and reputational damage. This is not an edge case but a predictable outcome of organizational neglect. The urgency is undeniable. As software systems increase in complexity and cyber threats proliferate, the demand for competent, adequately supported AppSec professionals has never been more critical. Yet, organizations persist in failing to bridge the

The update turns product recommendations into a more direct revenue stream for creators, and for Amazon, the move puts its massive online marketplace inside one of the most popular video platforms.

I knew I’d officially become a ‘longevity influencer’ this month when a company called Generation Lab reached out to offer me the chance to write about—and even receive—their new rejuvenation treatment, an injectable combination of two existing drugs which they call 1 Generation. This wasn’t just any antiaging treatment, either. A company fact sheet says that…

The updates indicate that Google is looking position to AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it's moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.

Svelte/SvelteKit Forms: The Fastest Path From <form> to Inbox with onsubmit.dev (form backend) SvelteKit makes forms pleasant to build, but a contact form still needs somewhere to send its data. If all you want is “visitor fills out <form> → message arrives in my inbox,” building and operating another server-side handler can feel disproportionate. onsubmit.dev (form backend) provides a hosted form endpoint for that job, and its Svelte integration can keep the application code small. One naming detail is worth clearing up immediately: onsubmit.dev (form backend) is a service, while Svelte has its own on:submit event directive. They are unrelated. In this article, references to the product always mean onsubmit.dev (form backend), not Svelte's on:submit . The usual SvelteKit approach SvelteKit already has a solid answer for server-side form handling: form actions. A typical contact form can POST to a +page.server.ts action, where you validate the fields and then do something useful with them. Conceptually, that gives you: Svelte <form> ↓ SvelteKit form action ↓ validation ↓ email provider / database / notification service ↓ your inbox This is a good architecture when submitting the form kicks off application-specific business logic. For a simple portfolio, landing page, documentation site, or “contact us” form, however, you also inherit the less interesting parts of owning that pipeline: delivery integration, configuration, error handling, spam controls, and maintenance. That's where using a dedicated form backend can make sense. Using svelte-onsubmit The Svelte integration is svelte-onsubmit . Rather than reproducing package code that might drift as its API evolves, use the current installation and usage snippet from the official integration documentation: https://onsubmit.dev/integrations That documentation is the source of truth for wiring the package into your current Svelte/SvelteKit project. The resulting architecture is deliberately simpler: Svelte <form> ↓ host

EVs account for under 10% of total new-vehicle sales in the US, and the numbers are declining. From a climate perspective, that’s pretty dismal, especially because the transportation sector is the single biggest source of greenhouse-gas emissions in the country. One thing that could help turn that around? Slate Auto’s new truck—a vehicle that seems…

Last month my WhatsApp stack moved 89,479 messages. I got no invoice for any of them. That is not a brag, it is the setup for an honest accounting. Because "self-hosting is cheaper" is the least interesting sentence in infrastructure, and it is usually said by someone who has never been paged at 7am by a bot that went quiet at 2am. I want to put a real number on both sides of that trade: the money Twilio would have charged, and the money self-hosting quietly takes back. All the numbers below were pulled or fetched on August 27, 2026 . The rate cards move quarterly, so check yours. The traffic, measured rather than estimated Five WhatsApp inboxes, bridged from WAHA into a self-hosted Chatwoot. Thirty days: messages Total 89,479 Inbound (from users) 45,563 Outbound (from us) 43,916 Most benchmarks stop here, multiply by a per-message rate, and publish. That answer is wrong, because Meta does not charge per message. It charges per template sent outside an open customer service window. Multiplying my full 89,479 by a template rate overstates the Meta line by about 3x. Multiplying just the outbound half still overstates it by about 1.5x. Since November 1, 2024 non-template messages are free. Since July 1, 2025 utility templates answering a user inside an open 24-hour window are also free. So the only line that costs money is the outbound message that goes out when nobody has written to you in the last day. Which means the number you actually need is not "how many messages," it is "how many outbound messages had no inbound message from that contact in the preceding 24 hours." The query that produces the real bill Here it is against Chatwoot's schema. It uses a window function rather than a correlated NOT EXISTS , because on a messages table of any size the correlated version will happily eat your connection pool. WITH src AS ( SELECT m . conversation_id , m . created_at , m . message_type FROM messages m WHERE m . inbox_id IN ( 27 , 23 , 46 , 50 , 48 ) -- your WhatsApp in
