The author describes how social networks changed from genuine social platforms to attention media, with manipulative notifications and irrelevant content. They found Mastodon, a platform that still feels like the original social networks, with genuine updates and no bogus notifications.
Transactions in SQL databases allow multiple queries to execute simultaneously without interfering with each other. They can be rolled back or committed, and databases like MySQL and Postgres use different methods to achieve consistent reads and handle conflicts.
Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents, responsible for more than a thousand pull requests merged each week. Though humans review the code, minions write it from start to finish. Learn how they work, and how we built them.

Taalas released an ASIC chip running Llama 3.1 8B at 17,000 tokens per second, 10x cheaper and 10x less electricity than GPU based systems. The chip hardwires model weights, sidestepping memory bandwidth bottlenecks and using a "magic multiplier" for efficient multiplication.
Volatility is the world's most widely used framework for extracting digital artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. The extraction techniques are performed completely independent of the system being investigated but offer visibility into the runtime state of the system. The framework is intended to introduce people to the techniques and complexities associated with extracting ...
The user's workflow with Claude Code involves reviewing and approving a written plan before letting Claude write code, preventing wasted effort and ensuring better results. They use a disciplined pipeline that separates thinking from typing, involving research, plan annotation, and implementation, to ensure accurate and efficient coding.
Ukiyo-e Search offers a unique feature to search Japanese woodblock prints by taking a picture of an existing print. It also allows users to see similar prints across multiple collections.
A travel blogger takes to the train from london to wulfleet and writes about the journey. he writes that 'when i was first come to wullflete, i did not see the harbour' compare the very first line with the line from the 1800s section, and you'll see what i mean. the reasons for the difficulty are two-fold: grammar and spelling - the 1500s and 1600s

A high-efficiency C++/CUDA LLM inference engine achieves 33x speedup on consumer hardware by streaming model layers through GPU memory. The engine uses adaptive caching and optional NVMe direct I/O to bypass the CPU and achieve high performance.
We use bloom filters in Floe to speed up SQL queries by reducing the number of rows to probe in hash joins, achieving 2x fewer false results with a fixed 256KB bloom filter per join. By optimizing bloom filter performance and accuracy, we can avoid decompressing rows that will not be needed, resulting in significant performance gains and improved efficiency.
You can use math expression such as 1/sqrt(2)+sin(10) (trigonometry functions uses degrees).

The author discusses the development of mathematical systems, starting with Peano arithmetic and set theory, to define natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers. The author then explores the concept of real numbers, computable numbers, and uncomputable numbers, concluding that the set of real numbers has a fundamentally higher cardinality than the set of natural numbers.
The user discusses the concept of encoding invariants in Rust's type system to avoid runtime errors and improve code robustness, using examples like NonZeroF32 and NonEmptyVec to demonstrate this approach. By using newtypes to represent valid states, the user argues that validation can be done at compile-time, reducing the risk of runtime errors and making code more maintainable and resilient ...

The author, a 18-year-old keyholder at Babbage's, recounts the chaos of the Nintendo 64 launch in 1996, where Super Mario 64 sold out despite limited launch titles. The author also shares memories of working at Babbage's during the 1990s console wars, including the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation launches.
A woman named Krupa Padhy learns Portuguese and Mandarin through an experiment at Lancaster University's Language Learning Lab, using her brain's cross-situational learning skills to pick up patterns in the languages. The results show she has a good ear for language and can recognize recurring patterns, but achieving fluency requires sustained exposure and interaction over many months or years.
Chinese DRAM maker CXMT is flooding the market with cheaper chips, forcing Korean rivals Samsung and SK hynix to reevaluate their strategy. CXMT's aggressive pricing is gaining traction, with US and Taiwanese firms testing its DRAM and seeking cooperation.

I2P was hit with a massive 700,000-node Sybil attack on February 3, 2026, overwhelming its normal 15,000 to 20,000 active devices by a factor of 39 to 1. The attack was caused by the Kimwolf botnet, which accidentally disrupted I2P while attempting to use it as backup command-and-control infrastructure.
Two popular AES libraries, aes-js and pyaes, have a default IV that leads to key/IV reuse bugs, affecting thousands of projects. The maintainer of aes-js took a cavalier approach, while the maintainer of strongSwan provided a model response to a similar bug.
zclaw is a C-based firmware for ESP32 boards with a 888 KB budget, supporting tasks, GPIO, and secure flash storage. It's tested on ESP32-C3, S3, and C6, with other variants likely compatible.
Coccinelle is a tool for writing source-to-source transformations on C code, allowing for refactorings and more. It can be installed from source or downloaded pre-compiled, with instructions found at https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/download.html.
The Toyota Mirai's rapid depreciation is due to limited hydrogen infrastructure and the rise of battery-electric vehicles. Its value has dropped dramatically due to geographical limitations and maintenance complexities.
The user verified their identity on LinkedIn through Persona, a US company, and found their passport data was shared with 17 US-based subprocessors, including AI companies. The user recommends requesting data deletion and objecting to data use under "legitimate interests" due to concerns over data protection and US law enforcement access.
Anish Acharya says AI-assisted coding is not worth it for all business functions, citing low cost savings and risks. He believes software stocks are oversold and companies should focus AI on core businesses or optimizing remaining costs.
This C++ library, called canvas_ity, is a single-header implementation of the W3C HTML5 2D canvas specification, providing high-quality rendering and ease of use with a compact size. It supports various features like path building, fills, strokes, gradients, and compositing operations, and is designed to be widely portable and easy to understand.
