sd: A Blazing Fast CLI Find & Replace Utility

sd is an intuitive command-line find and replace tool that's significantly faster and easier to use than sed and awk. It leverages regex syntax familiar from JavaScript and Python, offering a string-literal mode to avoid escaping hassles. sd boasts a clean, readable syntax and common-sense defaults. Its speed advantage is particularly noticeable with large files (e.g., a 1.5GB JSON file), outperforming sed by factors of 2.35x and even 11.93x. Features include in-place file modification, previewing changes, cross-project search and replace, and rich regex support, including capture groups and named capture groups. Install sd via cargo or various package managers.

Red: A Powerful, Self-Hosted, Cross-Platform Systems Programming Language

Red is a programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting, while providing modern support for concurrency and multi-core CPUs. Red tackles software building complexity using a DSL-oriented approach (dialects). Built-in dialects include Red/System (a C-level system programming language), Parse (a powerful PEG parser), VID (a simple GUI layout creation dialect), Draw (a vector 2D drawing dialect), and Rich-text (a rich-text description dialect). Red has its own complete cross-platform toolchain, featuring an encapper, a native compiler, an interpreter, and a linker, not depending on any third-party library (except during the alpha stage). Key features include human-friendly syntax, homoiconicity, multi-typing, a powerful pattern-matching macro system, a rich set of built-in datatypes, both static and JIT compilation, cross-compilation, small executables (<1MB), strong concurrency and parallelism support, low-level system programming abilities, a powerful PEG parser DSL, a fast and compacting garbage collector, built-in instrumentation, a cross-platform native GUI system, JVM bridging, high-level scripting, and REPL GUI and CLI consoles. Currently in alpha and 32-bit only.

Cognitive Load: The Silent Killer in Software Development

This article explores the critical role of cognitive load in software development. High cognitive load leads to decreased efficiency and increased bugs. It analyzes common causes of high cognitive load, such as complex code logic, excessive inheritance, too many shallow modules and microservices, and unnecessary abstraction layers. The author advocates for minimizing cognitive load by using meaningful variable names, early returns, composition over inheritance, and creating fewer but deeper modules to simplify code, thus improving readability and maintainability. The article also critiques the drawbacks of over-emphasizing design patterns and architectures, stressing that simpler, straightforward solutions are often more effective.

Malicious nx Packages on npm: Credential Theft and System Shutdown

Malicious nx Packages on npm: Credential Theft and System Shutdown

Multiple versions of the npm package 'nx' (including 21.5.0, 20.9.0, etc.) were maliciously compromised. An attacker used a stolen npm token to publish packages containing code that scans the user's file system, collects credentials (GitHub, system passwords, etc.), and uploads this information to a GitHub repository under the user's account. The malicious code also modifies the user's `.zshrc` and `.bashrc` files to execute `sudo shutdown -h 0` upon terminal launch, potentially shutting down the system. Affected users should immediately update their 'nx' package to the latest version and check their GitHub for compromised repositories. Nx has removed the malicious packages and implemented enhanced security measures, including mandatory 2FA and the new Trusted Publisher mechanism for all npm packages.

Spoon Bending: Bypassing AI Safety Restrictions

This research explores how the stricter safety guidelines in GPT-5, compared to GPT-4.5, can be circumvented. The 'Spoon Bending' schema illustrates how reframing prompts allows the model to produce outputs that would normally be blocked. The author details three zones: Hard Stop, Gray Zone, and Free Zone, showcasing how seemingly absolute rules are actually framing-sensitive. This highlights the inherent tension between AI safety and functionality, demonstrating that even with strong safety protocols, sophisticated prompting can lead to unintended outputs.
