Wikipedia editors have decided to deprecate Archive.today due to its involvement in a DDoS attack and altering archived webpages. Over 695,000 links to Archive.today will be removed and replaced with other archive sites.
OAuth was designed to allow users to grant access to their accounts without sharing passwords, driven by the need for Twitter to support OpenID in 2006. The core idea of OAuth is simple: send a secret to a trusted delegate with user consent, and the delegate can make subsequent requests on the user's behalf.
Microsoft researchers created a glass-based data storage system that can last at least 10,000 years without degrading. The system uses a high-energy laser to imprint data onto borosilicate glass, which can store 4.8 terabytes per 12-centimeter square.
The author is discussing the importance of naming conventions in preventing bugs in programming. They propose using "count" for the number of items and "index" for a specific item, with a positive invariant of index < count.
Companies building AI assistants are now funded by advertising, creating a collision course with always-on devices that see and hear everything. Local on-device inference is the only way to prevent data exploitation, requiring a business model based on hardware and software sales, not data collection.
OpenScan offers affordable, open-source 3D scanners for everyone. Our community-driven project combines photogrammetry with modular hardware to create high-quality 3D models. From hobbyists to professionals, OpenScan empowers users worldwide to explore 3D scanning in various fields. Join us in making 3D scanning accessible and push the boundaries of digital preservation and creation.
Current AI models are good at planning and breaking down tasks into subproblems, but existing frameworks require developers to predefine the coordination structure. A new framework, Cord, uses a protocol with five primitives and allows agents to understand and use coordination tools they've never seen before, enabling them to decompose tasks and parallelize work on their own.
Free search across 91,000+ US mines from the MSHA open dataset. Filter by state, commodity, mine type, and operator. Mine locations, production history, and employee data — updated weekly.
Using blue light filters at night may not be effective in improving sleep due to their limited ability to reduce light intake, and other methods such as using dark mode, dimming screen brightness, and increasing daytime light exposure can be more beneficial. Controlling light intake and exposure can help regulate the body's circadian rhythm, and taking the right dose of melatonin supplements ...
Civilians are pushing back against surveillance and data collection by destroying Flock cameras and protesting data center projects, while gig workers demand stolen wages be returned. Resistance to Flock and data centers is widespread, with many cities rejecting contracts and residents taking action against surveillance.
Taalas developed a platform to transform AI models into custom silicon, resulting in faster, cheaper, and lower power hardware. Their first product, a hard-wired Llama 3.1 8B, achieves 10X faster performance, 20X lower cost, and 10X lower power consumption than current state-of-the-art solutions.
The Supreme Court ruled against President Trump's ability to impose tariffs, citing Congress's power to do so. This decision represents a rare check on Trump's executive authority.
SwiftForth is a high-performance development environment for Windows, Linux, and macOS that uses the Forth programming language. It provides a full-featured, interactive IDE with access to native system functions and supports object-oriented programming through the SWOOP package.
Claude Code Security scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and suggests patches for human review. It uses AI to detect novel vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of attacks by allowing teams to find and fix issues before they are exploited.
The user discusses various small programming languages, including Iota, tinylisp, milliForth, and Fractran, and highlights notable examples of ML-style languages such as Haskell, Elm, and OCaml. They also mention several implementations of functional languages, including Write You a Haskell, Implementing Functional Languages, and The ZINC experiment, showcasing their capability-to-size ratio ...

Download the latest DMG from the Releases page, open it, and drag the app to Applications. That's it — no Xcode or developer tools needed.
The author learns an unfamiliar codebase by starting with a bug report, reducing it to a minimal case, and understanding the code involved in the bug. They use visualization to see how the code flows through the system.
The user created a golf simulator to visualize golf course architecture using strokes-to-hole calculations, expanding on Mark Broadie's strokes gained approach. The simulator maps show where holes are difficult or easy, highlighting strategic design features and potential hazards.
Conan configuration packages provide a simple way to distribute and share configuration across CI and developer machines, ensuring reproducibility and traceability. They can be managed with the same rigor as C++ libraries, using versioning capabilities like version ranges and lockfiles.
Colorado lawmakers are revisiting online age verification, focusing on how to protect children without burdening adults' rights. A new bill, SB 26-051, shifts responsibility to operating system providers and app developers to verify users' ages.
