The Pragmatic Programmer book provides valuable advice for software engineers, covering topics such as responsibility, communication, and debugging. The book emphasizes the importance of flexibility, reversibility, and decoupling in code, and offers practical tips for implementing these principles.
The user is trying to reverse engineer the file format of the original Xbox game Splinter Cell, specifically the common.lin file which contains 54 Unreal Engine Package files, and is attempting to dump individual files from this filesystem to look for cut content. After a week of static recompilation and analysis, the user decided to inject code into the game using XboxImageExploder and ...
Z3 is a high-performance theorem prover developed at microsoft research. it uses the same operator precedence of the python language, so no python background is needed if you want to learn how to use the tool offline. the following example shows how traverse the constraints asserted into the solver, and collect performance statistics for the check method. z3py also provides functions for ...
Goldman Sachs analysts question if curing patients is a sustainable business model for biotech companies due to potential loss of recurring revenue. They suggest solutions such as targeting large markets, disorders with high incidence, and constant innovation to offset declining revenue.
The user learned Cloudflare Zero Trust + Warp to overcome Tailscale limitations and now uses it for various purposes including connecting private networks, exposing private services to the public, and creating fully private networks.
Mocking the built-in open function can cause issues with other libraries like coverage.py. To avoid this, patch the open function where it's used, not where it's defined, or use autospec=True and verified fakes for better mocking practices.
The user recreated an IBM XT Personal Computer from the 1980s using a mix of authentic parts and modern technology, with a goal to play the EGA version of Monkey Island 1 on it. They designed and implemented the hardware and software components, including a low-power NEC V20 CPU, SRAM chip, FPGA board, and peripherals, and successfully achieved mouse support, hard drive with write access, and ...
The author of blob-util, a popular npm package, notes that AI-generated code may replace small utility libraries like theirs. The author believes that AI prioritizes instant answers over teaching and understanding, potentially reducing the need for educational open source projects.
A Coinbase customer reported a sophisticated phishing attack in January 2025, but the company failed to investigate and respond to their questions about data compromise. The customer later discovered that Coinbase had been breached in late 2024, with attackers bribing contractors to steal sensitive customer data, affecting less than 1% of the customer base.
The author discusses the misuse and misinterpretation of Fourier transforms in various fields, particularly in acoustics and vibrations. They argue that an FFT is simply a curve-fit of sine and cosine functions to given data, and that results should be scrutinized for accuracy.
The Shell Grotto is an underground shell grotto in Margate, England, with 4.6 million shells covering 2,000 sq ft of its walls and roof. Its age and purpose are unknown, with various speculations and hypotheses over the years.
The user created a libdrm-ocaml library to interactively explore the Linux Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) API using OCaml, allowing for easier learning and debugging of display management. The library provides a simple way to configure display settings, render images, and animate graphics directly on the Linux VT, making it easier to understand and work with the KMS API.
Brimstone is a work-in-progress JavaScript engine written in Rust, implementing the ECMAScript specification with heavy inspiration from V8 and LibJS. It supports almost all JavaScript language features, but is not yet ready for production use.
The Leibniz notation for derivatives is a historical interpretation where dxdxdx represents an infinitesimally small quantity, not a value. It's used to denote the derivative of a function f(x) as df(x)dx.
Imperial Valley in California is a major US winter produce supplier, but its agricultural industry faces challenges due to rising costs and labor issues. A new lithium mining industry is emerging in the area, which could bring economic benefits but also environmental concerns and changes to the local way of life.
A Go implementation of a Naive Bayes spam classifier uses Laplace smoothing to classify messages as spam or not spam. It trains on a dataset of text messages and their corresponding spam status to classify new input text.
User worked on garbage collection in J9 Java VM and applied knowledge to solve a problem with Ohm and ProseMirror. They used reference counting to efficiently find dead nodes in a document after an edit.

The SQL standard is adding a GROUP BY ALL feature to simplify grouping in SQL queries. This feature automatically groups by non-aggregate columns in the select list.
The user discusses a novel encoding of natural numbers in lambda calculus called de Bruijn numerals, which are defined as nested de Bruijn indices and have elegant properties for arithmetic operations. Despite limitations, the user explores various arithmetic operations such as successor, predecessor, addition, and multiplication, and also discusses the conversion of Church numerals to de ...
The author built an active loopstick antenna called Teewee to receive WWVB, a stable frequency reference broadcast at 60 kHz from Colorado, USA. Teewee uses HackRF Pro's built-in bias tee for power and can detect WWVB from over a thousand miles away with good signal-to-noise ratio.
George Colony, Forrester Research founder, has repeatedly declared the Web dead or dying since 1995, but his predictions have been proven wrong. His commentary has been mocked and outdated, with the Web evolving to meet his proposed improvements.
