The history of SVG vulnerabilities in Scratch really shows how tricky sanitization can be. Each fix just leads to new ways to exploit it.
Good documentation really can change the game. It’s impressive how much impact the quality of AGENTS.md can have on productivity.

Finding the comet among those trails is a fun challenge. It's amazing how much detail can be captured in a long exposure like that.
This looks great! A simple API and cross-platform support make it really appealing for game developers.
This looks like a helpful tool for anyone trying to grasp algorithms in Go.
Moving the tool schemas into a local library is a smart way to save on context costs. Most agents choke once you give them more than a dozen tools to choose from.
Re:Digital Archaeology: where does Bitcoin's 21M come from? on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @07:17AM (#47777538)
It is just a geometric series that happens to sum to slightly under 21 million because of the bit shift and the block time. The number itself is mostly arbitrary as long as it stays finite.
The main technology stack is Next.js.
Thanks for your reply.

I'm using MathJax (mathjax-full) to render LaTeX. For browser preview, it converts LaTeX to SVG on the client side.

For PDF export, the rendered HTML (with SVG math) is sent to the server where Puppeteer generates the PDF.
