<li><strong>CISA warns of active exploitation in VMware vCenter</strong>: CISA has confirmed active exploitation of a critical heap overflow vulnerability (CVE-2024-37079) in VMware vCenter Server, scoring 9.8 on the CVSS scale. This flaw allows remote code execution and can be chained to gain root access to ESXi. Federal agencies are mandated to patch by February 13, 2026, highlighting the severity and widespread risk, as reported by CISA. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/sI8icXzRd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Oracle’s Orasort patent expires, opening doors for open source</strong>: Oracle’s ‘Orasort’ sorting algorithm patent expired, making it available for open-source use after 20 years. This algorithm, invented by Mark Callaghan and implemented in Oracle 10gR2, offers a 5x performance improvement over older methods by combining common prefix skipping and adaptive sorting. Open-source database communities, particularly MySQL and PostgreSQL, are reportedly keen on adopting it to enhance sorting performance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aheyA2T6F" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Cloud opens public datasets via Apache Iceberg REST Catalog</strong>: Google Cloud now offers public datasets through the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog on BigLake, making them accessible as read-only Iceberg tables. This means data engineers and analysts can query datasets like the NYC Taxi dataset without infrastructure setup, using any compute engine supporting the Iceberg protocol, including Spark and BigQuery. This move, announced by Google Cloud, aims to simplify access to large-scale analytical data. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tn371FITl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents are coming for your IAM, apparently</strong>: Apparently, AI agents are ‘fundamentally incompatible’ with traditional IAM because they have ‘delegated authority’ and ‘wide, persistent permissions.’ Who knew giving a bot access to everything might be a problem? The articles scream about ‘urgent security risks’ and ‘unidentified pathways for authorization bypasses,’ but somehow forget to mention any actual incidents or specific platforms. Just a lot of hand-wringing about ‘organizational agents’ and the need for ‘new security protocols.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nUFRFzE1V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is making code writing easy, so now we need SREs. Shocking.</strong>: Two identical articles claim AI makes ‘building a working demo straightforward,’ so now the real challenge is ‘operational excellence and reliability.’ Wow, who would’ve thought that making things work reliably at scale is important? They declare Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) ‘increasingly critical,’ as if this is some groundbreaking insight rather than the core of robust system architecture for decades. Apparently, AI has finally revealed that trusted and dependable services are the future, not just a nice-to-have. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/otuC5YedQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Coi claims to beat React and Vue with WASM, because of course it does</strong>: A new language called Coi is here, and it ‘claims performance superiority’ over React and Vue by compiling to WASM. Their benchmarks show canvas rendering at 100 FPS versus Emscripten’s 40 FPS, which is great if you’re only rendering canvases. The whole thing is based on ‘Coi publicity,’ so naturally, there’s no independent validation, just a lot of talk about ‘O(1) reactivity’ and ‘shared memory architecture.’ Sounds like another ‘Show HN’ that will revolutionize front-end development until the next one comes along. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iOGOTjzat" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
