Pine Script lookahead bug makes backtests profitable but live trades lose money

A documented Pine Script mechanic causes strategies to appear profitable in TradingView's Strategy Tester while losing money in live trading. The issue stems from using 'barmerge.lookahead_on' in the request.security() function, which inadvertently feeds future price data into historical bar calculations during backtesting. On live bars the problem is invisible, since no future data exists yet, but once those bars become historical they are recalculated with complete data, causing the chart to 'repaint' into a different signal history. This discrepancy means a paper-trading session can falsely confirm a strategy's validity until a chart reload reveals the backtest was built on information unavailable in real time. TradingView's own documentation explicitly warns against this setting, advising developers to verify it does not compromise logic by leaking future data into past bars.

How to Design a Scalable PDF Processing Pipeline: A System Design Guide

A detailed system design walkthrough published on DEV Community outlines how to build a robust pipeline for ingesting, parsing, and extracting structured data from PDF documents at scale. The guide addresses the unique challenges PDFs pose, including inconsistent spec compliance across producers, malformed files, and adversarial inputs designed to exploit parser vulnerabilities. It covers key architectural components such as job queues, multi-stage extraction, OCR for scanned pages, sandboxing for untrusted files, and idempotent processing to ensure reliability. The pipeline also incorporates a human-in-the-loop review stage for low-confidence extractions, recognizing that PDFs can mix digital-native text and scanned image content within a single file. The guide emphasizes that security, correctness, and throughput must be treated as core design requirements rather than afterthoughts when processing PDFs in production environments.

Foreign BFSI firms fuel 70% surge in India GCC office leasing, IT sector pulls back

Foreign banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) companies significantly increased their leasing activity for global capability centers (GCCs) in India, recording a 70% year-on-year rise. This growth marks a notable shift in India's commercial real estate landscape, which has traditionally been dominated by IT and ITeS firms. In contrast, foreign IT-ITeS companies reduced their office space absorption during the same period. Other service and manufacturing sectors also showed varied leasing trends. The development signals a broader diversification in the types of global firms establishing or expanding operations in India.

12.8 kg drugs seized in Coimbatore after 100-gram MDMA bust cracked interstate gang

Police in Coimbatore seized 12.8 kg of drugs from a car as part of an ongoing crackdown on an interstate drug trafficking network. The breakthrough came weeks earlier when six individuals were apprehended carrying 100 grams of MDMA. That initial bust led investigators to uncover the larger gang operating across state lines. Three accused linked to the network have since been arrested in connection with the case.

AI-Powered Phishing Now Mimics Coworkers Using Real Email Threads and Data

Modern phishing attacks are increasingly using AI language models trained on compromised mailboxes, breached data, and public writing to generate highly convincing emails that perfectly mimic colleagues, vendors, and executives. These messages embed themselves into real reply chains, inherit existing trust, and contain no grammatical errors or generic greetings — eliminating the traditional red flags users were trained to spot. Security experts warn that two decades of awareness training focused on poor writing and awkward tone now works against defenders, as AI-generated fakes can outperform legitimate emails in clarity and context. The recommended shift is to move away from content-based detection toward behavioral monitoring, flagging unusual requests like bank detail changes, credential resets, or wire transfers regardless of how polished the message appears. Additional defenses highlighted include FIDO2-based phishing-resistant MFA, strict DMARC enforcement at p=reject, out-of-band verification policies for high-risk actions, and behavioral analytics tools that watch account activity rather than scanning email prose.

Undox: Hackathon Tool Automates Data-Broker Opt-Outs With Human Approval Gate

Developer Manas Dutta built Undox, an AI agent that automates the process of opting out of people-search data brokers, as part of the WeMakeDevs × TrueFoundry × Qodo hackathon. The tool uses a TrueForge orchestrator paired with a custom MCP server to find broker listings and prepare opt-out forms in a sandbox environment. Critically, the agent pauses and requires explicit human approval before any personal data is actually submitted, addressing privacy risks posed by fully automated opt-out tools. Session state is stored durably, meaning progress survives restarts, and a Next.js dashboard on Vercel provides a live view of exposure, broker status, and approvals. The project is publicly accessible at undox.vercel.app, with mock submissions used in the demo to avoid unintended live data submissions.

Hidden Terraform 'forces replacement' line can silently destroy production databases

A detailed technical analysis on DEV Community highlights how a routine Terraform plan to upgrade a PostgreSQL database from version 14.9 to 15.4 can silently trigger a full database destruction and recreation. The danger arises when an unrelated change — in this case, enabling storage encryption — is queued alongside the version bump, masking a flag error that would otherwise have halted the deployment with a clear warning. Because Aurora RDS has no in-place path from unencrypted to encrypted storage, Terraform's only option is to destroy the existing cluster and create a fresh, empty one. The plan's summary line, showing '3 to destroy,' provides no context about which resources are affected or whether the run deviates from historical norms. The author reconstructed the scenario on live AWS infrastructure, confirming the behavior, and warns that CI passing and a green plan do not guarantee a safe deployment.

Open-Source Developer Explains Why Multiple AI Sandboxes Can Coexist and Differ

A developer behind an open-source AI sandbox project addressed a common challenge: people assuming vendor-provided sandboxes like Claude Code Sandbox make independent tools redundant. The developer argues that different sandboxing tools protect against different threat models rather than competing for the same layer of security. Claude Code Sandbox uses OS-level primitives to restrict filesystem writes and network access, but its deny rules are application-level and do not traverse parent directories, leaving gaps in multi-project or monorepo setups. Docker commands also require direct socket access, which is structurally incompatible with Claude Code Sandbox's mechanism, meaning Docker operations run outside its protection entirely. The developer's own project addresses these gaps by hiding secret files at the filesystem level via volume mounts, eliminating the need for traversable rules in the first place.

AI Workstation splits chat, live discovery, and agent skills into three layers

A developer building AI Workstation found that questions requiring live data — such as trending topics or active open-source projects — did not fit well inside a general chat interface. This led to a three-layer architecture: a general workspace for everyday tasks, public discovery Radars for current evidence, and installable Agent Skills for structured follow-up. Two Radars were introduced — Global Topic Radar for content creators and Open-Source AI Radar for developers — each displaying sourced, dated information without overstating its reliability. Two open-source Agent Skills, Topic Intelligence and AI Open Source Intelligence, translate Radar findings into structured briefs covering research gaps, license checks, and project comparisons. The design philosophy centers on making model limitations visible by separating freshness, identity, and provenance checks into explicit, inspectable layers rather than burying them inside a single prompt.

How to Run True End-to-End Email Tests in Playwright Without Mocking

Most email testing tutorials only verify that a send call was attempted, leaving the actual delivery and content untested. A more robust approach uses Playwright to drive a real signup flow while routing messages to a disposable inbox provisioned via a REST API, such as MoeMail. The setup involves four components: a unique per-test email address, the browser flow that triggers the send, a polling mechanism to retrieve the delivered message, and code or link extraction with assertions. Wrapping inbox creation in a Playwright fixture keeps transport logic out of individual tests and ensures each test run gets a fresh, isolated address. Key reliability tips include never sharing addresses across tests, asserting on regex extraction before using the result, and checking the HTML email part when plain-text content may be out of sync.

Glacier Collapse on Nepal-China Border Triggered 100-km Deadly Flood Run

A glacier detached from a ridge along the Nepal-China border and set off a catastrophic chain of events. The mass of ice and debris travelled approximately 100 kilometres through multiple river systems. The longest stretch of this destructive run occurred along the Trishuli River. Investigators have traced this glacial collapse as the primary trigger behind the devastating Nepal floods. The incident highlights the growing threat posed by glacial instability in high-altitude Himalayan border regions.
