Introduction Learn how to properly use a JsonConverter, along with property and global setup for converters. Before getting started, the converter is intentionally simple. The focus here is proper planning for the data for a specific task, like importing data from a JSON file into a database, in this case, properly formatted. Sample converter Reads and converts the JSON string value to ensure the first character to uppercase. public class UpperCaseFirstCharConverter : JsonConverter

Used enterprise firewalls are one of the best deals in homelab and small-office hardware. A FortiGate 100F that retailed for âŹ4,000 can be had for âŹ400â600 on the secondary market. But unlike a used switch or server, a firewall has pitfalls specific to the platform that can turn a bargain into a headache. This guide focuses on FortiGate because Fortinet dominates the SMB/branch market â which means the widest used supply â but most principles transfer to other NGFW vendors. Why FortiGate specifi...
1. Basic Information Original Title: Escaping the OpenAI Codex sandbox, twice Source: Accomplish AI Published: 2026-09-15 Updated: None Severity: High Basis for Severity: Researchers verified Overpatch, which writes outside the workspace using workspace-write, and Heapjack, which executes host commands from the strictest read-only mode without an approval prompt.

I recently came across a post about the transition from Senior Developer to Tech Lead, and it got me thinking about something I've been experiencing myself: how much your definition of productivity changes when you move into technical leadership. For most of my career as a developer, being productive was pretty easy to recognize. I could look back at my week and see the features I implemented, the bugs I fixed, the PRs I opened or reviewed, and the technical problems I helped solve. There was al...
# I Built a Green Blob That Lives on My Desktop. Then It Stopped Being Cute.  Three weeks ago, my desktop blob stopped being a cute screensaver. It started ignoring my "pet" interactions. When I clicked it, it drifted away. I checked the logs. Valence score: negative zero point nine seven. Arousal spike: zero point nine five. The blob...
In this chapter we set up the enumerations for the player character's equip state, in my case AEchoCharacter. I declared my enumerations in a separate header file CharacterState.h which can also be used for other states besides equipping items: Alive/Dead, Climbing/Swimming etc. I decided to specify my enum encapsulation as ECharacterEquipState. Although I didn't fully agree with making the character variable private, I went along and will do all my state logic under the AEchoCharacter hood, usi...
TL;DR: I built MagicKit â a free AI toolbox for image generation, AI writing, and video making. No sign-up, no API key, no paywall. The whole thing is open source on GitHub. Why I built this Every AI tool these days wants you to sign up, hand over an API key, or subscribe before you can even try it. I wanted the opposite: open the page and just create. So I spent a few evenings building MagicKit â three tools in one page: đŒïž AI Image Generator â text-to-image with the FLUX model, multiple aspect...

I wrote a walkthrough of implementing a memory allocator from scratch in Rust. The article covers how memory management works, how bump allocation works, and how to implement an allocator in Rust. It progresses from a toy example into a working allocator, covering the problems and design decisions along the way, as well as benchmarking the final product. Have you ever written your own allocator before? Why/why not? AI Disclaimer: AI was used to clean up phrasing and catch grammar flaws. All text...

I have over 50 hours in Dune: Awakening. The soft-MMO, mostly survival-centric game became one of my favorite games of last year. However, as a parentâand generally busy guyâplaying Dune: Awakening has become less fun and more chore-inducing. The eventual endgame of fighting other players also took away some of what made Funcomâs take on Arrakis so interesting. Over a year later, with plenty of updates under its belt and the massive new 1.5 update, Dune: Awakening isnât just better than ever; it...
Something core to Orbitals stuck out to me as I played the Switch 2 exclusive. Compared to the similar co-op games from Hazelight Studios, the major difference in Shapefarmâs two-player 3D platformer was that the two main characters, Maki and Omura, actually seemed to enjoy each otherâs company. While that might seem like an inconsequential detail, it was actually a breath of fresh air after sitting through Hazelight's co-op hits A Way Out, It Takes Two, and Split Fiction, which all centered on ...
In this developer version of Play History we take a look back at Diablo IV Lead Encounter Designer Owen Leach, and Design Director Dan Tanguay's gaming history that shaped how they are working on Diablo IV's Season of Hell's Legacy and the upcoming Amazon class.
When I first booted up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, I wasnât too sure what to expect. I hadnât played the first game (I know, I know, put down the pitchforks!), and, as someone who prefers fantasy over medieval settings, it wasnât my usual cup of tea. However, it quickly became one of my favorite RPGs ever, as I watched Henry go from a ragtag blacksmithâs son to a strong knight once again. Now, you can grab it at its lowest price ever. Like many of the best RPGs ever made, Kingdom Come: Delivera...
Whenever a Nintendo game gets a splashy reveal in a Direct, my immediate hype takes on a few forms. Iâll replay the trailer at least once, then Iâll start going frame by frame. I scour Nintendoâs websites for concrete information, then I read up on Reddit comments and theories to see what other people noticed that I might have missed. And then, I watch the trailer yet again. But almost every single time, my brain lands on the same question: Who the hell made this thing? The most recent catalyst ...
Someone playing Refractive Entertainment's recently released action-RPG Luminary for less than an hour accused the team of using AI for the game's only voiced character. The player said the voice "killed it" for them. There was just one problem: It wasn't AI. It was actually the developer's wife doing her first-ever voice acting gig. Refractive Entertainment launched Luminary into Steam Early Access on August 11. It's a resource-gathering action-adventure sandbox with an art style that's giving ...
