It appears an overeager dev has gotten a CVE filed against np++ for a "DLL hijacking vulnerability." Submitter's repo is linked in the CVE change history: https://github.com/zer0t0/CVE-2025-56383-Proof-o

Just beautiful. I love that the pattern appears stable but diverges after 5 mins or so. Is the initial state proven to be stable under exact conditions?

Because they produce output probabilistically, when multiplication is deterministic. Why is this so hard for everyone?

This really misses a major point. If you write something in Zig, you can have some confidence in the stability of the program, if you trust yourself as a developer. If someone else writes something else in Zig, you have to live with the pos

I can't believe he omitted that detail. How did they appear to send an email from a google domain? This is especially puzzling given that he says he works in security.

I don't understand. What combination of actions and app features allowed the scammer to send an email that is indicated to be from google's domain?

You only get two options for each vote, and there is no reason that one or both of the options would need to be aware of or be in favor of an acceptable solution to the given problem. In fact, the chance of that happening is vanishingly sma

Thank you. I included the url params when I made the post, but it appears that HN strips these.

I support the X enterprise, its motives, and its agenda. I'm a happy paying customer. Question away as seriously as you please. But don't bother looping me into that dialog. I'm not interested.

Fun fact. In Ghostty and (some) other GTK apps, if your mouse leaves the window, the first scroll click after re-entering the window is ignored. This is due to an ancient bug first identified in 2015. https://bugzilla.gnome.org&#

Terminal emulators have taken a very odd attitude toward OSC52. Many (or all?) of them selectively disable either copy, or paste, or both, depending on how cautious the maintainer is. Yes, it's true that an application that can read sy

The author is aware that definitions exist for the terms he uses in his blog post. He is proposing revised definitions. As long as he is precise with his new definitions, this is fine. It is left to the reader to decide whether to adopt the

Looks like CGI was recently removed from python 3. https://docs.python.org/3/library/cgi.html What is a modern python-friendly alternative?

+1 for Alacritty! I've been using it 4 months now and am quite happy with it. I made the switch after I found my default Pop!_OS terminal had some noticeable latency issues.

Would this be enough to accurately simulate lift from an airfoil? Or do you need compressibility for that?

Beautifully done. Everything was clear and intelligible. I have a CS background, but no physics/aerodynamics background. What are the minimum additional steps beyond this tutorial which could produce an aerodynamically correct 2D wing

gittutorial I had seen before, but the others I had not. Thanks for that, I'll give them a go. Wow, mid 90s! Git came out in 2005, so I assume they started out using some previous version control and then switched to git? That must lea

I got a little tired of running to Google every time I needed a non-trivial git command, so I set out to identify all (and only) the git commands I require for my day-to-day and capture them in one place. The result is this script. It can b

I like to play typing games when I have a down minute, but I couldn't find a game that would let me practice the symbols I use in my day-to-day work as a programmer. I wrote Orbital Typo to fill that gap. It's my first web game. M
