Microsoft changed the red X button during the GWX campaign in May 2016 to schedule Windows 10 upgrades instead of closing the dialog. The article does not mention how long it took to restore the ability to move the taskbar after it was removed.
A malicious litellm package on PyPI contains a .pth file that steals credentials. Users who installed it via pip should rotate all credentials.
An interactive journey through 30 years of the web
Ripgrep is a fast, cross-platform command line search tool that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw performance of GNU grep, offering features like Unicode support, regex engine options, and file type filtering. It is designed to be a hybrid of grep-like and ack-like tools, providing both speed and smart default searching capabilities, making it a suitable replacement ...
Use zswap for most people as it provides automatic tiering between compressed RAM and disk swap, gracefully degrading as memory pressure increases. zram is better suited for embedded systems or specific security requirements, but its block device architecture creates constraints and requires manual setup and management to achieve similar behavior to zswap.
The user and their friend Hazel hacked into their friend Frank's apartment complex's intercom system to unlock the gate using Apple Home. They used an ESP32 relay board, a Matter library in Rust, and a rectifying regulator to create a discreet device that could unlock the gate with a tap on Frank's phone.
To replace a Linux installation with a new OS, you can pipe a pre-prepared disk image directly to the disk using a command like dd. This works by treating the disk as a file and writing to it directly.
lnav automatically detects and processes log files, including compressed ones, with online help and previews. It outperforms standard terminal tools in processing large log files like a 3.3GB access log.
The latest conflict in the Middle East has brought missile defense back into the spotlight. There’s a lot of discussion regarding interceptor stockpiles, missile stockpiles, and cost. As it turns out, this is a resource allocation problem. The problem is NP-complete, but that’s far from the reason why missile defense is a hard problem. To get our bearings, we start with how unreliable a ...
The author reflects on lost friendships and the difficulty of making new ones as an adult with a family. They experiment with in-person connections through a bilingual play group and coworking initiative.
NanoClaw adopted OneCLI as its default credential and proxying layer for secure agent access. OneCLI's Agent Vault provides fine-grained controls and policies to limit agent access and prevent potential damage.
Researchers present Memory Sparse Attention (MSA), a scalable sparse latent-state memory framework for efficient end-to-end memory model scaling. MSA achieves near-linear complexity and <9% degradation from 16K to 100M tokens.

User tried Autoresearch on a research problem with Claude Code, an LLM agent. The agent improved a Mean Rank metric by modifying a single file, train.py, and reduced the metric by 54% in 42 experiments.
Qite.js is a lightweight frontend framework that enhances HTML with declarative behavior without requiring a virtual DOM or complex setup. It allows you to write components in plain JavaScript, separate from HTML and CSS, and works naturally with standard CSS transitions and animations.
The author created an I/O co-processor called BIO, which is a more efficient and flexible alternative to the Raspberry Pi's PIO, consuming about half the area of the PIO and achieving over 4x the clock rate when ported to an ASIC flow. The BIO uses a RISC-V 32-bit core and has a spacious 4 kiB of RAM, allowing for more complex code and higher-level features such as fixed-point math and ...
The tool is an interactive 6502 disassembler for Commodore 8-bit computers with features like live disassembly and breakpoints. It has a TUI with modern features like x-ref and keyboard-driven navigation.
Mozilla AI is developing an open-source platform called cq to share knowledge between AI agents, preventing them from wasting resources and energy by learning from each other's experiences. The goal is to create a sustainable and standardized way for AI agents to share knowledge, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all without relying on a few big companies.
The user created Dune 3D, an open-source 3D CAD application, to address dissatisfaction with existing options like FreeCAD and Solvespace. It combines Open CASCADE for geometry and Solvespace's solver for constraints.
An attacker exploited Resolv DeFi protocol's off-chain infrastructure by gaining access to a privileged private key, minting 80 million unbacked USR tokens, and extracting $23 million in value. The attack highlights the importance of real-time on-chain threat detection and automated response mechanisms to prevent similar incidents in DeFi systems.

The quadratic all-matches problem in regex engines has been a long-standing issue since the 1970s, causing worst-case time complexity of O(m * n²) when searching for multiple matches in a large input. A new regex engine called RE# has been developed to solve this problem, offering a hardened mode that guarantees linear time even on adversarial input, and a normal mode that is faster but may ...
The Rust language's coherence and orphan rules cause problems in the ecosystem evolution, making it difficult for new crates to replace existing ones and for alternatives to foundational crates to be made and propagated. Removing coherence altogether and introducing a new syntax to specify which trait impl is used for satisfying a trait bound could allow for overlapping trait impls and solve ...
At the moment only SST1 (Voodoo1) is supported on IP32 (O2). Only tested on IRIX 6.5.30 with RM7000C CPU.-driver sources (SST1 and CVG support on IP32) https://github.com/sdz-mods/tdfx_irix-glide2x IRIX port (SST1 on IP32) https://github.com/sdz-mods/glide_irix-hinv wrapper with 3dfx support: https://github.com/sdz-mods/hinv_3dfx
The user discusses customizable selects in web browsers, creating demos with new features like stack of folders and card picker, using HTML, CSS, and new syntax like sibling-index() function. The user showcases three demos, each with unique styling and animations, highlighting the capabilities of customizable selects.
Gerd Faltings, a 71-year-old German mathematician, has been awarded the Abel Prize for his influential work on the Mordell conjecture, now known as Faltings's theorem. The theorem proves that certain curves have a finite number of rational points, a cornerstone of arithmetic geometry.
A Trivy supply chain attack compromised GitHub Actions, impacting over 10,000 workflows, and was enabled by a compromised credential with write access to the repository. The attack delivered an infostealer via 75 modified version tags, targeting sensitive data in CI/CD environments.
The author of Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture initially opposed distributed objects due to the difference in behavior between in-process and remote calls. However, microservices don't violate this law as they don't aim for in-process/remote transparency.
