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 ...
LocalStack is a cloud software development framework that emulates AWS services locally for testing and development. It offers a free Hobby plan and supports a growing number of AWS services, including Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB.
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 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.
Eight newly created Polymarket accounts bet nearly $70,000 on a US-Iran ceasefire, raising insider trading concerns. The accounts stand to make nearly $820,000 if a ceasefire is reached before 31 March.
The user designed an I/O co-processor called BIO for the Baochip-1x SoC, which is a more efficient alternative to the Raspberry Pi's PIO. The BIO uses a RISC-V 32-bit core and a set of FIFO-registers to achieve determinism and flexibility, and can be used for various I/O tasks such as DMA and SPI bit-banging.
The author argues that AI can help or hinder scientific progress, depending on whether it's designed to discover new concepts or simply optimize existing ones. To achieve paradigm-shifting science, AI must be designed to step outside existing frameworks and explore new ideas.
An Air Canada plane collided with a firefighting vehicle at LaGuardia Airport, causing significant damage and prompting a ground stop. The incident occurred when the plane, with 76 people on board, landed and struck a responding vehicle.
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 ...
The user built an AI receptionist named Axle for their brother's luxury mechanic shop to answer customer calls and provide accurate information about prices, hours, and policies. The system uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and a custom-built knowledge base to ensure accurate and grounded responses, and can also collect callbacks for unknown questions.
The user discusses best practices for research, including avoiding overview slides, developing a unique view of the world, and staying on top of literature, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, and time management in research. They also provide tips for staying organized, reading efficiently, and avoiding burnout, and encourage researchers to view their work as a ...

Years of countless pours led me to the question “Is this really a pint? They say so, but really?” The findings gave rise to the Pint Patrol, a grassroots movement that could change how Americans are served their beer, wine, and cider—toward righteous honesty. This article documents the initial discovery and the inception of the movement.
The article discusses how collaboration has become a misguided obsession in the modern tech industry, leading to a lack of accountability and productivity. It argues that most complex work is done by individuals or small groups with clear authority and accountability.
This repository contains experimental code for thread-like processes that blend the Posix process model with multi-threading, enabling zero-copy access to pointer-based data structures. The code has limitations, including no support for debugging, ptrace, or signals, and requires careful memory management due to independent libc instances for each threadproc.
GitHub has experienced several outages this month, including issues with Actions, notifications, and Copilot. The company's overall uptime has been poor, dropping below 90 percent at one point in 2025.
General Motors is supporting the restoration of a rare 1996 EV1 electric vehicle, VIN 212, which was purchased at auction for over $100,000 and is being restored by a YouTube channel and private collector.
