Fil-C vs CHERI vs SeL4 vs YOLO I think hardware protection is usually easier to sell but it isn't when it is slower or more expensive than the alternative.

So what you're saying is that it's not just the machine-readable documentation built over decades of the officially undocumented behavior of Z80 opcodes—often provided under restrictive licenses—it's also the "known tech

Why not remove the human trying to use Windows from the loop and have a server at Redmond feeding Copilot slop to a Copilot agent on the next server forever? Anyone's got the CEO's number? Tell him I don't charge for my geniu

The editorialized title brings back memories of logging into smashthestack almost two decades ago leaving and looking at graffiti on the walls. I didn't learn much following the link itself other than it is supposed to be pronounced TI

Totally off-topic but there are also white wines made with red grapes with white flesh by quickly separating the skins which is kind of the opposite.

Let's just say I knew soon enough for the ones that were in the myopic group. It's not that I don't believe these studies or that I don't recommend children and even adults going outdoors and trying to watch something fa

There was a meta article a few days back, but HN should do something to rescue ShowHN posts that are neither AIslop nor humanslop because people here seem to report them by default. They were paid to do this cool thing and possibly to post

Main factor is genetics. I was gaming on a blurry CRT and reading on a dim light while hardly ever going outside during my teens and I only have light myopia on one eye. I don't know if it has ever been studied, but I suspect eye socke

I think C should be reset to C89 and then go over everything including proposals and accept only the good&compatible bits. If you can't compile K&R, you should label your language "I can't believe it's not C!&quo

What's up with the ginkgo hate on this story? The roasted or cooked nut of the ginkgo tastes good and is filling. Not something to eat in volume anyways. You'd probably quit before any toxicity manifests. The fruit looks appetizin

It goes to show my expertise in chess that I watched a whole encounter and it looked exactly the same as regular chess with castling and all. I don't know if I would call the positions symmetrical, though, they seem mirrored(I just che

Being able to hold 10x the weight of paper doesn't sound so impressive that it would require an astrophysicist to invent it. I was more ready to accept the headline if it had been invented by the kid. Are you telling me you can't

Pigs are huge blobs of meat. Families would raise one pig they would slaughter once a year and it would be a regular source of preserved meat and fat over the following year. All of this was pre "green" revolution so it has to be

I actually "shipped" a parser using the symbols' hash(as the only identifier) for a test tool once. Hopefully, the users never used enough symbols to collide 32-bits.

Let's be honest, though. If you designed a new sudo in a system with doas(1) it would look nothing like modern sudo. I can't remember the name, but I read about a rust project a few months ago which claimed that even doas had too

In ye olden days, TV stations broadcasted again what they already had once. We called this phenomenon the "rerun". I would place the poster of the comment that I am replying as a 38+, so deep into Dumbo rerun territory but, perhap
