The true power of regular expressions (2012)

Regular expressions can match more than just regular languages, they can also match context-free languages, which include well-formed HTML, and some context-sensitive languages, but it's unknown whether they can match all context-sensitive languages. Regular expressions with backreferences are NP-complete, meaning they can solve any other NP problem, but it's generally not recommended to use ...

Show HN: We Fixed UniFi's Slow PPPoE Performance with PPPoE Half-Bridge

https://arcbox.dev/_next/static/media/unifi-pppoe-half-bridge-acceleration.05.xn172zxo7d.png
ArcBox Labs' office had a 5 Gbps PPPoE connection behind a UniFi gateway but couldn't reach that speed due to the lack of PPPoE hardware acceleration in most UniFi gateways. To solve this issue, they implemented a PPPoE half-bridge acceleration using OpenWrt, which offloads PPPoE dialing to a dedicated device and hands the public IPv4 to the UniFi gateway via DHCP.

Developers are attached to tools because tools encode trust

https://cdn.stackoverflow.co/images/jo7n4k8s/production/29bbae9c01de534b803084e4f0b9a77f9cd90e5c-12000x6300.jpg?rect=8,0,11985,6300&w=780&h=410&auto=format&dpr=2
Developers are struggling to trust AI tools due to their unpredictability and lack of transparency, which can lead to broken processes and decreased productivity. To build trust, teams need to establish a more deliberate and explicitly-defined workflow that preserves human judgment and provides the right context for AI agents.
