I tested ChatGPT’s backend API using RENTGEN, and found more issues than expected

A closer look at OpenAI’s API uncovers some shaky ground: misconfiguredCORS headers, missingX-Frame-Options, noinput validation, and borkedHTTP status handling. Large uploads? Boom..crash!CORS preflightrequests? Straight-up denied. So much for smooth browser support... read more

Writing a good CLAUDE.md

Anthropic’s Claude Code now deprioritizes parts of the root context file it sees as irrelevant. It still reads the file every session, but won’t waste cycles on side quests. The message to devs: stop stuffing it with catch-all instructions. Instead, use modular context that unfolds as needed - think.. read more

BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
