14. SQL Formatting Best Practices: A Practical Guide for Engineers

SQL is arguably the most widely used language in software engineering, yet it is often the least carefully written. Most teams enforce strict linting on their application code but leave SQL queries as a free-for-all.

Why Poorly Written SQL Is a Real Engineering Problem Unformatted SQL is not just an aesthetic issue - it is a correctness risk. Dense, run-on quer...

15. Implementing Token Bucket Rate Limiting for High-Volume Inventory APIs

When you expose inventory or checkout endpoints to public-facing front-ends or third-party webhooks, safeguarding those APIs from brute-force scripts, scraping bots, and inventory hoarding algorithms becomes a critical requirement.

The Problem with Simple Counter Resets A common mistake when setting up basic API protection is using a rigid "Fixed Window" counter (e.g., allowing 100 reques...

1. I Didn’t Care About The New Star Fox Until I Found Out Who’s Making It

I never played much Star Fox as a kid. Save for maybe a few minutes here and there at a friend or cousin's house, I've basically not played the series whatsoever. So I was safely out on playing the new one arriving this summer for Switch 2. But a funny thing happened this morning: We actually learned who is making it--something that oddly doesn't happen much with Nintendo games until we can watch the credits--and the answer has completely changed my plans. The New York-based Velan Studios was de...

2. Zelda: Ocarina Remake’s Lack Of Gameplay Did It A Disservice

After months of rumors and leaks, Nintendo finally officially announced its remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's an appropriate way to mark the series' 40th birthday this year, as Ocarina of Time is widely regarded as one of the best Zelda games of all time, along with being a formative experience for games' transition to 3D. Despite the obvious significance, though, the art style used for our extremely brief glimpse was divisive--and that's something Nintendo could have avoided ...

Turns out, the members of Eve's absurdly dedicated playerbase were surprisingly enthusiastic about the idea. Now, at the 2026 edition of Fanfest, Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games) is collecting their blood and putting it to use to realize a pretty extreme goal. But it's one that doesn't look anyth...

That should make for some interesting story developments between the two brothers and Shion, with K...
