I moved my code from GitHub to a self-hosted Forgejo instance due to concerns about Microsoft's ownership and control of GitHub, as well as the company's increasing reliance on AI and potential data collection practices. The Dutch government made a similar decision, and I chose Forgejo for its fully open-source nature and ability to maintain digital autonomy, despite some migration friction ...
A complete reverse engineering, documentation, emulation, and preservation of all Fisher-Price/Mattel Pixter device series and almost all the games was achieved, including the discovery of a 16-bit virtual machine that executes most simple opcodes in a dozen cycles or so. The Pixter Color device was found to use a unique audio system that involves a Melody Chip, which is controlled using a ...
A team at the University of Hong Kong developed a new "super steel" that resists corrosion in seawater, making it suitable for green hydrogen production. The steel uses a double-protection mechanism and could replace costly titanium parts, reducing production costs by 40 times.

The user is trying to improve maintenance scheduling in Akamai's cloud infrastructure, particularly for disruptive maintenance on hypervisor hosts, and found Google's OR-Tools library to be a strong fit for solving this complex problem. The user explains how OR-Tools' CP-SAT solver can model scheduling problems more intuitively and efficiently than Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) solvers, ...
Lead optimisation is the step in drug design where you take a molecule that sort of works and try to make it actually work, and it’s arguably the step where most real-world design campaigns succeed or die. Due to the influence of a couple of my pals, I have recently become interested in using machine learning to do lead optimisation for proteins. Said pals have been kind enough to indulge my ...

User runs a web server on a Nintendo Wii with NetBSD 10.1, serving IPv6 clients directly and proxying IPv4 clients through another server. They use a Realtek 8153 chip USB Ethernet adapter for networking.
Gemini 3.1 was distilled into a 26m Simple Attention Network, Needle, for consumer devices. Needle outperforms other models in single-shot function calls but may be finicky and less effective in conversational settings.
The Dutch suicide prevention hotline 113 shared visitor data with third parties without consent, including Google and Microsoft, violating GDPR. Stichting 113 temporarily disabled data sharing tools after being confronted with the issue.
Craig worked at Bell Labs for a year and then started his PhD in statistics, where he spent four summers working at Bell Labs and became interested in piecewise linear regression and design of experiments. He used his knowledge of design of experiments to help a large chemical company in Great Britain solve a problem with their fertilizer production, and also worked on various projects at ...
The author measured the compile time cost of reflection-based enum-to-string conversion in C++26, comparing it to alternatives like enchantum and X-macro variants. The results show that reflection is fast but its header cost is high.
The article discusses six rules to create a futuristic movie title, including adding an italic slant, curvy and angular shapes, consummate Vs, combined letters, removing text segments, and adding noise textures. These rules are demonstrated in various movie titles such as Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars.
Senior developers worry about complexity, while others want to reduce uncertainty. They should communicate solutions in terms of uncertainty reduction, not complexity management.
CERT is releasing six CVEs for serious dnsmasq security vulnerabilities. Patches are available and a new stable release, dnsmasq-2.92rel2, has been made with the fixes applied.
New scrcpy release migrates to SDL3 for active maintenance and new features like aspect-ratio locking. It includes improvements like dynamic display resizing, better quality settings, and clearer disconnections.
A bug in the CUBIC congestion controller caused it to permanently pin the congestion window at its minimum and never recover from a congestion collapse event, resulting in a self-perpetuating recovery trap. The bug was fixed by changing just three lines of code to measure the idle duration from when bytes_in_flight actually transitioned to zero, rather than the last packet sent.
The vi editor is a 50-year-old terminal-based text editor with a steep learning curve but offers efficiency and widespread availability. Many vi clones and derivatives exist, including Vim, Elvis, and nvi, each with unique features and improvements.
Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform combining logs, traces, metrics, and AI tracing. It's self-hosted, MIT licensed, and integrates with tools via OTLP/HTTP.
The user implemented an atmospheric scattering shader post-processing effect to render a realistic sky and atmosphere in real-time, using raymarching, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, and ozone absorption to achieve a natural color for any altitude. The user also explored a more performant approach using Look Up Tables (LUTs) to store precomputed scattering calculations, resulting in a ...
DuckDB instances can now communicate with each other using the Quack protocol, enabling client-server setups and concurrent writers. Quack is built on HTTP and optimized for low overhead and fast bulk data transfer.
SecurityBaseline.eu monitors baseline security for European governments, revealing issues such as tracking cookies, exposed admin panels, and poor email encryption. The website provides maps and metrics to help governments protect citizens and improve online security.

The author of EndBASIC is considering reusing its building blocks to create a new project, possibly replacing the BASIC language with a more modern one, or focusing on the core compiler and VM, or even creating a BSD-based buildroot alternative.
Researchers found that scientists increase their ability to combine existing ideas as they age, but decrease in their ability to create groundbreaking innovations. This pattern suggests that scientists become more attached to established ideas and less likely to disrupt their field with new concepts.
