@msdos41_ tests emoji support by drawing each one twice on a canvas in different fill colors. A real color glyph ignores the fill, a missing one doesn't. Missing ones get an image, and copy still gives the real emoji. First DEV post!

AI agents typically only do something after you ask them to, which often works just fine.
But here, Darsh shows how to build a local AI assistant that runs on a schedule.
You'll use Python, Ollama, Qwen, LangChain, cron, and Task Scheduler to run daily agents for common recurring tasks.

Every story in this series has been about an agent reaching too far. This one never reached at all.
It was a code-review bot,read-only by design. It stayed inside its boundary the entire time. And it still produced a fake security report that would have caused a real outage.

When you're building React Native apps, you likely start with a few files and simple components.
But as things get more complex, any change means checking multiple things across the project.
In this handbook, @ajaypatel_aj teaches you how to solve this problem using shadcn/ui + React Native Reusables.

Let's put compound operators and casting to the test with codebysophy!
In our recent lab, you start your shuttle with 1000 fuel, take in three check-ins, and track how much fuel you burn and find. Then find your average fuel per day.
BONUS: Start your tank at Integer.MAX_VALUE and test what happens to your fuel. Drop your answer in the comments.

Memory is what allows Claude to learn from experience. In a new Engineering Blog post, we share how “dreaming” helps Claude organize what it’s learned, correct its mistakes, and find what it needs more easily the next time. anthropic.com/research/compo…

Check out Google's Elephant-Goldfish Model, our new open-source plugin → goo.gle/480yn2n
Draft specs with deep-context agents and stress-test them with zero-context subagents before writing code. You make the architectural decisions and approve the spec before implementation. Works with Antigravity, Claude, Codex and ChatGPT.

We partnered with @fmf_org and its member firms on a new framework to help identify when bypassing an AI system's safeguards could enable serious cyber harm, and prioritize stronger protections.
"...This framework is an important step toward a common methodology for evaluating and comparing the severity of cyber jailbreaks, including the capabilities they unlock and how readily they can be used. Shared approaches like this can help the AI and security communities build a clearer evidence base and prioritize improvements to safeguards." - OpenAI's Sasha Baker, Head of National Security Policy

@Seemanth_raju traces a voice agent's 3-second lag to hosts running at 96% CPU, not the model. Dedicated cores cut it to about 1 second, then silence recovery and turn-taking fixes lifted engagement. First DEV post!

Reviewing a long PDF page by page can take lots of time that most of us don't want to spend.
But a storyboard gives you a more efficient way to review the contents.
In this in-depth guide, @allinonetools helps you build a browser-based PDF storyboard generator using JavaScript.

A new way to measure how AI agents handle the routine analyses of wet-lab science—BioBasicsBench.
Developed with Ligo, a biotech company focused on enzyme design, the benchmark draws on 100 tasks from real experiments to test whether agents can interpret raw lab data, identify errors, and recognize when the evidence doesn’t support a conclusion.
Accelerating biological research starts with getting the everyday work right. BioBasicsBench shows where models need to improve, and helps us track what those gains mean for scientific progress, biosafety, and biosecurity.
