The user was debugging a high-performance game over ssh and found that stock ssh was sending unnecessary packets to obscure keystroke timing, causing significant overhead. They were able to disable this feature by not advertising the [email protected] extension in the go ssh library, resulting in a 50% drop in CPU usage.
User was banned from AI platform Claude for using it as a disabled organization to automate tasks, which triggered security measures. User received a credit note and is reframing their project to avoid similar issues in the future.
PgDog is a proxy for scaling PostgreSQL. Under the hood, we use libpg_query to parse and understand SQL queries. Since PgDog is written in Rust, we use its Rust bindings to interface with the core C library. Those bindings use Protobuf (de)serialization to work uniformly across different programming languages, e.g., the popular Ruby pg_query gem. Protobuf is fast, but not using Protobuf is ...

Project Mercury was supposed to be fast, and it was supposed to be simple. After all, Sputnik had made it starkly clear the Soviets were ahead, and America feared falling even further behind. The newly created NASA quickly struck back with Explorer 1, ...
OpenAI scaled PostgreSQL to handle millions of queries per second for 800 million users through rigorous optimizations and solid engineering, enabling the system to support massive global traffic with a single primary instance and nearly 50 read replicas. Despite challenges with write-heavy workloads, the team implemented various solutions to mitigate limitations, including migrating ...
A user on Slashdot questioned Douglas Adams about the perceived nihilism in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, specifically Arthur Dent's character. The user suggested a cultural divide between England and the US in viewing failure as a heroic trait.

Games Workshop, the parent company of Warhammer, has become a £6bn business through its enduring appeal to gamers and hobbyists. The company's secret to success lies in its focus on creativity, community, and expert staff, making it an experience rather than just a shop.
Swift provides direct interoperability with C libraries, allowing developers to use existing C libraries from Swift code without rewriting them. By using Swift annotations and API notes, developers can improve the safety and ergonomics of C libraries in Swift, making them feel more native to the language.
Turso Database is a Rust-based evolution of SQLite with native async support and features like vector search. It's still in beta and has a bug bounty for data corruption issues.
User created several apps using vibecoding, replacing paid tools like Wispr Flow, Loom, and Typora. This shift suggests a change in the industry, making standalone apps less viable as separate products.

Stunnel is a proxy that adds TLS encryption to existing clients and servers without code changes, using OpenSSL for cryptography. It's free software with commercial support available, distributed under GNU GPL with OpenSSL exception.
Medieval city builders often deviate from historical accuracy, featuring linear growth and unrealistic scenarios, but incorporating realistic elements like flood valleys and tithe collection could enhance realism. A more historically accurate game would involve planning settlements, managing resources, and dealing with threats like disease, war, and social unrest.

The article discusses various optical illusions created using CSS, including the Poggendorff illusion, Münsterberg Poggendorff Arch, and other effects that trick the brain into seeing different colors, shapes, and movements. These illusions use techniques such as gradients, pseudo-elements, and animations to create the impression of movement, depth, and color, often with surprising and ...
Constellation Space built an AI system that predicts satellite link failures with 90% accuracy 3-5 minutes in advance by analyzing telemetry data and weather conditions. The system uses physics-based models and machine learning to scale with the growing number of satellites and is currently being tested with defense and commercial partners.

In the early days of personal computing CPU bugs were so rare as to be newsworthy. The infamous Pentium FDIV bug is remembered by many, and even earlier CPUs had their own issues (the 6502 comes to mind). Nowadays they've become so common that I encounter them routinely while triaging crash reports sent from Firefox users. Given the nature of CPUs you might wonder how these bugs arise, ...
Wind and solar power surpassed fossil fuels in the E.U. last year, with solar growing faster than any other source of electricity. Renewables now provide nearly half of E.U. power, with solar alone supplying over 20 percent in several countries.
Researchers found that active sitting, like reading, has positive associations with cognitive health, while passive sitting, like watching TV, is linked to negative outcomes. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities while sitting may help reduce dementia risk and support long-term brain health.
