The user's isometric game caused buzzing in their headphones due to frequent GPU work and pauses, which affected power supply to their MODI DAC. Fixing the issue involved optimizing the game's rendering pipeline by only downloading the necessary part of the picking texture, reducing GPU pauses and power fluctuations.
React and Next.js have a critical vulnerability allowing unauthenticated RCE due to insecure deserialization in the 'Flight' protocol. Upgrade to hardened versions to mitigate the risk, which affects 39% of cloud environments.
Compilers recognize patterns in code and replace them with efficient alternatives, even when the code is obfuscated. This is done by translating code into an intermediate representation, allowing the compiler to treat different code patterns identically.
The goal is to construct Gaussian Splatting Wang Tiles (GSWT) for real-time rendering on arbitrary surfaces from multi-view images of an exemplar scene. The pipeline involves reconstructing 3D models at multiple LODs, generating Wang Tiles, and pre-sorting them for efficient rendering.
A kick drum is synthesized using a sine wave, frequency modulation, and an amplitude envelope, with the phase synced to the beat. Additional elements like hi-hats, snare, bass, and chords are created using various waveforms, filters, and envelopes to produce a classic house sound.
Bun, a JavaScript tooling project, has been acquired by Anthropic, which will use Bun as infrastructure for AI coding products. Bun's development will continue in public on GitHub, prioritizing Node.js compatibility and JavaScript performance.
The user shares their experience with an old Rust tutorial from 2013, highlighting the language's evolution and differences from modern Rust.

The US healthcare system is a complex, $5 trillion creature built from various pieces, including Medicare, insurance through jobs, Medicaid, and exchanges, which together create a system that embodies American disagreement on what to value. A closer look at the system reveals that Americans already finance healthcare collectively, but inefficiently, and that the system reflects a civil ...
Arrowhead Game Studios reduced Helldivers 2's size by 85% with Nixxes Software's help, from 154GB to 23GB. The change was made possible by de-duplicating game data, with minimal impact on loading times for most players.
A vulnerability affects certain React packages1 for versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0 and frameworks that use the affected packages, including Next.js 15.x and 16.x using the App Router. The issue is tracked upstream as CVE-2025-55182. The vulnerability also affects experimental canary releases starting with 14.3.0-canary.77. Users on any of the 14.3 canary builds should either ...

Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) as early as 2026, potentially ahead of rival OpenAI. The company's valuation could exceed $300 billion after a private fundraising round with Microsoft and Nvidia.
Chris Sawyer developed RollerCoaster Tycoon after struggling with Transport Tycoon 2, inspired by rollercoasters and wanting a fun project. The game evolved organically, with a focus on isometric graphics, physics, and gameplay, eventually becoming a successful niche product.
The author compares the AI datacentre boom to the 2000s telecoms crash, but finds the fundamentals different. Telecoms overbuilt due to 4x overestimated demand growth, while AI demand growth is potentially exponential.
The big breakthrough in postgresql 19 is that the optimizer can now decide: join first and aggregate later or aggregate first. for every product, all we do is to simply lookup two names. if we want to join two products, we can do it with a single query - and it will join them based on the product name. the problem is, unless you have an extremely large database, you can't do this. so, the
