Sticky in process, gone on restart: auditing the state your CLI daemon keeps in memory

1+ hour, 50+ min ago   (589+ words) A containment flag can be wired correctly, tested, documented, and still be a containment flag you do not have. The wiring is only half the story. The other half is where the baseline lives. Here is the whole audit, with…...

Rate Limiting: The Traffic Cop Your API Needs

1+ hour, 44+ min ago   (317+ words) Your API can be perfectly designed and still fail when too many requests hit it at once. That’s where rate limiting comes in. Rate limiting controls how many requests a client can make to your API within a specific period....

Hash the Prompt Before You Cross the Wire

2+ hour, 48+ min ago   (1133+ words) Remote help is not free if the hop is slow. A prompt that never leaves disk cannot leak. The cheap path is a local cache with a measured fill. Most coding assistants resend the same context twice. The second trip…...


dev.to > agentprojectcontext > unknown-apc-paths-should-not-become-hidden-instructions-2d36

Unknown `.apc/` Paths Should Not Become Hidden Instructions

2+ hour, 45+ min ago   (532+ words) A repository can contain a file under.apc/ without making that file part of the APC contract. The APC folder structure specification says consumers ignore unknown paths unless a formal APC extension defines them. That small rule gives teams room…...

Workshop: Catch Shared-Host Drift With a Five-Probe Floor Card in 85 Minutes

2+ hour, 48+ min ago   (594+ words) Measurement talk in developer circles often outruns the tests that still discriminate. When a host starts returning fluent prose, empty objects, or a constant label, yesterday's demo stops being evidence. A floor card is deliberately small so a classroom can…...


dev.to > technotes > deepseek-harness-aghient-kotoryi-tsielikom-sobran-iz-plaghinov-2bda

DeepSeek Harness: агент, который целиком собран из плагинов

2+ hour, 50+ min ago   (136+ words) Открытая платформа, где модель, песочница и даже хранение сеансов — заменяемые модули. Разбираем, как собрать агента под задачу и не потерять контроль. Tagged with ai, agents, opensource, programming....


dev.to > aiio_6471 > token-buckets-do-not-belong-on-free-inference-2fhe

Token Buckets Do Not Belong on Free Inference

2+ hour, 58+ min ago   (774+ words) Admission control is a fence, not a conversation. A free language-model call is a variable-latency guess with an untrusted prompt surface, and it does not belong on the path that decides whether a request may enter a production service. Load…...


dev.to > animir > debunking-the-fixed-window-rate-limiting-boundary-burst-myth-49bi

Debunking the Fixed Window rate limiting "boundary burst" myth

3+ hour, 4+ min ago   (39+ words) Why the "burst at boundary" problem in Fixed Window rate limiting is mostly a myth, and how the Flexible Fixed Window algorithm (per-client window starts) handles bursts and infrastructure protection in practice. Tagged with ratelimiting, security, algorithms....


dev.to > datacpp_3670 > the-empty-check-passed-on-a-full-ring-324k

The Empty Check Passed on a Full Ring

3+ hour, 18+ min ago   (855+ words) The ring reported empty after a full lap. Full and empty shared one modulus check. I lost every payload and still kept green tests. Why did review miss this quiet bug? The happy path never filled the whole buffer. There…...

Build a Read-Only Eval Slice Before Giving Free Inference Write Authority

4+ hour, 15+ min ago   (594+ words) So I refuse to give a completion write authority until a read-only eval slice can fail in public. The slice uses the same provider protocol the production route will use, minus the database mutation. Think of it like a dress…...
