A vulnerability in NPM allows modification of arbitrary files when installing a package

The method of the simplest stenography. The alphabet and font for it

Many are deterred by the word 'shorthand' and for good reason, as it implies a complex system that not only takes time to study but also requires constant application to be effective.

Igor Sysoev devoted nearly 20 years of his life to painstakingly working on creating what is arguably the best web server in existence for all of humanity. Igor […]

A template for a basic Telegram bot for 7-9 grade students in PowerShell

In a conversation with a friend, I suddenly discovered that children in grades 8-10 at their school are not taught programming at all. Just Word, Excel, and that's it. No Logo, not even Pascal, nor even VBA for Excel. I was very surprised, opened the internet, and started reading — One of the tasks of a specialized school is to facilitate the upbringing of a new generation that responds to […]
