Apple recently initiated a requirement for iOS developers to justify the use of specific APIs that could be utilized for device fingerprinting. However, major tech players like Google, Meta, and Spotify seem to be disregarding this rule by collecting data from these APIs without adhering to the guidelines. This data, used for tracking, is then […]
Asyncio is a hot topic in Python right now due to its ability to handle I/O-bound programs efficiently. In this article, the author simplifies asyncio using Python generators, which are essential for understanding asyncio. Generators make code more memory efficient by generating values one by one without storing the entire sequence. The author explains how […]
The article delves into the concept of “unsafe Python” to optimize code with a real-life example of image resizing using Numpy and OpenCV in Pygame. It reveals a surprising 100x speed difference between two seemingly identical arrays due to different memory layouts. The author explains the significance of array strides in Python and showcases how […]
A new network technique has been discovered that allows attackers to redirect traffic off VPN tunnels using DHCP, resulting in unencrypted packets being snooped. Termed ‘decloaking,’ this technique can bypass kill switches without triggering alerts. An urgent call has been made for VPN providers to implement network namespaces to counter this threat. Errors in DHCP […]

For almost 8 years, I’ve been learning valuable lessons while working on Keygen. One crucial metric I’ve discovered is the time-to-convert (TTC). Initially offering a 14-day free trial, I realized this didn’t match my actual customer conversion timeline. After extending trials and eventually implementing an unlimited free tier, I saw a significant increase in sign-ups […]
Telemedicine gained popularity during the pandemic but has been a buzzword in the IT world for decades. Microsoft dabbled in this area in the late 1990s with the Windows CE-based Data General WiiN-PAD, likely the last device from Data General before it was acquired. The device, running on a PowerPC CPU, was intended for medical […]
The CIA’s Project AZORIAN was a highly secret mission to recover a sunken Soviet submarine during the Cold War. The operation involved using the Hughes Glomar Explorer, a ship believed to be for deep-sea mining, to search for the submarine. Despite facing many challenges, the CIA successfully lifted a portion of the submarine from the […]
Swift’s Clock protocol, including ContinuousClock and SuspendingClock, has significant overhead which can become a bottleneck when dealing with frequent time and timing needs. Throttling UI updates based on I/O operation progress led to creating a custom throttling system due to poor performance of swift-async-algorithms. Benchmarking alternative time-tracking methods showed that Swift clocks are over an […]
