The Free Universal Construction Kit is a set of adapters that allows children's construction toys to work together, promoting creative play and hybrid designs. The Kit is a grassroots remedy for proprietary toy systems, available for free download and 3D printing.
User is recreating Hokusai's 36 views of Mount Fuji as 1-bit pixel art on old Macintosh computers for nostalgia and flow state. They use Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 on Quadra 700 or PowerBook 100 to create authentic 512x342 pixel images.
The user tested Claude Code with a personal project, a shim between YouTube Music and OpenSubsonic API, and found it helpful in implementing the project from scratch. The user was able to get a working service in a short evening, but still has concerns about relying too much on AI coding assist and losing skills.
A new 10G USB 3.2 adapter from WisdPi offers a compact alternative to bulky Thunderbolt adapters, but its performance depends on the USB port's bandwidth. It reaches full 10 Gbps speed only with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 port, otherwise it's slower.
mine is an IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers a complete, all-in-one application and a command-line variant with integrated REPL, debugger, and structural editing.
Report quality is often judged by superficial measures like writing style, not actual content. This can lead to reliance on AI-generated work, where appearance of quality is prioritized over actual value.
I recently started using a folding bike, a Brompton, which has greatly improved my commuting experience. It's convenient, durable, and cost-effective, paying for itself in just 28 weeks.
The user is sharing music player information from the 1980s, specifically from games like Wizball and Athena, and is allowing others to use and modify the work. The user acquired the rights to the music and code from Infogrames and credits the original author, Martin Galway.
Desmond Morris was a zoologist and surrealist painter who wrote The Naked Ape, a book that framed modern humans as ape-like despite technological advances. He popularised science through his books and TV shows, including The Human Animal, which explored human customs and their biological roots.
Passing file paths to privileged processes can lead to security vulnerabilities due to TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) races and symlink attacks. Using file descriptors instead of paths is a safer approach, and libraries like libglnx provide fd-based filesystem operations to help mitigate these issues.
Canal+, a French TV channel, used a simple encryption system called Discret 11 to block unauthorized viewing, but it was eventually cracked and pirated due to its simplicity and the leak of its schematics. The system was later replaced with Nagravision encryption in 1992 and retired by 1995, but Canal+ went on to become a major satellite broadcaster in Europe.
Kloak replaces secrets at the network edge, eliminating accidental exposure and misuse. It's open source, kernel-level, and works with any language or framework without an SDK.
OpenAI introduces Bio Bug Bounty for GPT-5.5, inviting researchers to find a universal jailbreak for bio safety questions. Applications open April 23, 2026, and close June 22, 2026.
The evolution of concurrency abstractions, from threads to callbacks to promises to async/await, has improved the local experience of writing async code but introduced new costs and complexities at the global level, such as function coloring and ecosystem fragmentation. Each solution solved a problem but introduced new structural costs, and language designers are now reevaluating the approach ...
Lute provides a standalone runtime for Luau with built-in APIs for common tasks. It allows for general-purpose programming outside of game engines, similar to Node.js or Deno.
Researchers propose two new methods to study the relationship between model size and computation in deep learning. They show that increasing model size or computation can improve performance without increasing the other.
The US geothermal energy sector is expanding with support from the government and innovations in enhanced geothermal technologies. Companies like Fervo Energy are leading the way with new projects and technologies to access geothermal resources.

A web-based RDP client connects to Windows Remote Desktop servers directly from browsers without plugins. It uses a Go proxy server to bridge WebSocket connections to the RDP server's TCP port.
The AI industry is facing a growing populist backlash due to its tone-deaf public messaging and lack of tangible benefits to regular Americans. To rebuild public trust, AI companies must take sustained, verifiable action, including transparency, regulation, and democratic input from communities.
Microsoft released Windows 2.x, a graphical user shell that ran on top of MS-DOS, with features like overlapping windows and icons on the desktop, but it was still limited by hardware and software constraints. The release was part of a larger effort by Microsoft to develop a GUI that could eventually be replaced by OS/2, but Apple sued Microsoft over copyright infringement, leading to a ...
Millets are ancient grains that hold great promise for the future. Domesticated ages ago in diverse parts of Asia and Africa, some of this group of small-grained crops have found uses in North America, but their potential in this time of climate change and concern for healthier eating, is largely unrealized. Our goal is to change that. Most millets thrive in heat and produce with less water. ...
ASCII diagramming tools offer limited visual choices for low-key diagramming and entry points to gen AI, combining old and new features. They promote self-constraint, making things easier and harder with AI, and celebrate the power of monospace plain text.

The Q-Day Prize submission demonstrates a classical attack on ECDLP using uniform random noise, not a quantum attack. The submission's results are reproducible without any quantum hardware.
Leave comments on PRs even if approving, as they show thought and care, and trust your team to consider them. This approach works best with low-configuration tooling and a team that's highly aligned.
HEALPix is an algorithm for pixelizing the 2-sphere, devised in 1997 by Krzysztof M. Górski. It's widely used in cosmology for maps of the cosmic microwave background.
You're attending Babashka Conf on May 8 and Dutch Clojure Days on May 9. You're considering building a tool for semantic diffing in Emacs, after being dissatisfied with difftastic.
