SplatHash offers a novel approach to image placeholders, encoding any image into a fixed 16-byte string (22-char base64url). It stands out with significantly faster decoding and lower memory allocations compared to alternatives like BlurHash and ThumbHash, making it ideal for performance-critical UIs where client-side rendering speed is paramount. It uses Oklab color space and Gaussian blobs packed into 128 bits.
IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerabilities in Next.js API routes occur when authenticated users can access unauthorized resources by manipulating identifiers. This article details how to prevent IDORs by distinguishing authentication from authorization, implementing object-level authorization checks, and designing secure `/api/me` endpoints.
Rob Lloyd, Seattle's CTO, is resigning after less than two years. He notably recovered over $130M from stalled tech projects, executed an IT Strategic Plan, and managed a budget reduction while improving service reliability and staff retention. His departure comes as the city faces a budget deficit and prepares for the FIFA World Cup, with a newly appointed AI Officer guiding future tech strategy.
