CPython now officially supports RISC-V as a tier 3 platform, thanks to community contributions and support from organizations like the RISE Project. Further work is needed to improve testing, promote RISC-V to tier 2 support and optimize CPython for its capabilities.
The author transitioned to Linux and found Continuity features from macOS lacking, particularly OTP code autofill. Tether aims to replicate these features on Linux, initially focusing on clipboard sync before expanding to other areas.
Roman space telescope launches on August 30, 2026 at 07:26 am EDT on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The observatory was built by technicians after NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope project.
The Texas Tribune's analysis found that the state agency, Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority, has spent $30 million of a $81 million fee increase on Flock surveillance cameras. The cameras are used to track vehicles and have been linked to missing persons cases but also raise concerns about privacy rights.
A new wave of litigation focused on violations of municipal regulations is emerging against multifamily housing landlords, many of whom are facing antitrust litigation targeting their use of certain revenue management products. The new regulations may potentially provide a simpler path to liability and the possibility of significant penalties. Following federal, state, and private litigation ...
A Linux user created a graphical disk defragmenter tool called Defragger to address fragmentation issues on modern filesystems. The tool is dual-licensed under the MIT License or Apache License 2.0 and can be installed using a build process involving CMake, Qt, and PolicyKit.
The author advises against rushing to prove oneself in a new job, instead focusing on building context and understanding the "why" behind processes. By doing so, one can make more informed decisions and take targeted action that drives meaningful change.
SQLite has a new feature called generated columns, allowing JSON data to be inserted and indexed like a document database. This enables treating SQLite as an embedded document database for lightweight applications.
Python signal handlers can be reentered in the middle of a call to print, potentially causing program crashes. However, this is unlikely to occur in real-world scenarios and failing with an exception is generally preferable to unsafe signal handler consequences.
The author uses LLMs in legacy codebases to improve productivity, but notes that the quality of work drops due to system complexity and missing meaning. He proposes a two-layer approach: strategic work (deciding what changes are needed) and tactical work (carrying those decisions into code).
Glacier mice are colonies of mosses and other organisms found on glaciers, with movement patterns that appear to be herd-like behavior. They can persist for six years or longer, creating a suitable ecosystem for microorganisms on the glacier surface.
EVE Online is transitioning from Python 2 to Python 3, aiming for a completely unnoticeable change. The first stage of the migration has been deployed on Tranquility, with further updates and testing planned in the coming months.
The author emphasizes that a great culture is more important than AI tools for increasing productivity, as it affects how people work together and communicate. A good culture can amplify the benefits of AI, but bad culture can hinder its effectiveness.
The Trump administration has used a customs law to obtain private information on journalists, non-profits and unions without judicial oversight. The government obtained phone records for a Minneapolis journalist and sought YouTube account information from several individuals, raising concerns over the power of the executive branch.
Samsung's LPDDR5X-PIM technology enables in-memory compute by implementing MAC units within LPDDR5X chips, allowing for high-bandwidth processing. This approach can achieve significant performance gains compared to standard LPDDR5X, but poses challenges for software due to mode switching and cache coherency issues.
This tool creates a virtualized iOS environment for testing and development, allowing users to download, patch, and restore iOS images. It also provides features like automatic provisioning, E2E testing capabilities and host control through a socket.
SLEEPWALKER is a passive backdoor that activates when the host process carries the name ERAAgent.exe, and it never contacts a fixed C2 address. It uses six transports including DNS triggering, VMCI, ICMP, named pipes and TCP/UDP connections to deliver commands over the network. The malware has 23 instructions covering scheduling, staged file delivery with SHA-256 verification and in-memory execution.
Watch a disk defragment online, free. A browser-based Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter simulator with real HDD sounds and 4 drives. No install, works offline.
The user discussed a hack to support older versions of GCC by using trampolines and the __builtin_call_with_static_chain built-in function. This allows calling nested functions without requiring an executable stack, addressing security concerns.
Open OSCAR Server is an open-source instant messaging server compatible with classic AIM and ICQ clients written in golang. This project is an independent, open-source initiative and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with AOL or Yahoo! Inc. This project is entirely non-commercial and does not generate any revenue or accept donations. Get up and running with Open OSCAR Server ...
Scientists recorded the world's highest ocean temperature of 70 degrees due to climate change and El Niño in the Pacific. This heat increase poses risks to marine ecosystems and coastal communities, contributing to sea level rise and extreme weather events.
To prepare for climate change, Colorado should increase tree diversity and focus on drought-tolerant, heat-resistant species like Arizona Cypress, Caddo Maples and hardy hybrid chokecherry.
Colours can be precisely quantified using numbers, with the LMS colour space representing all perceivable colours. However, this is not the standard way to describe colours, and instead RGB values are commonly used. The CIE XYZ colour space uses standardized primaries that are imaginary and do not correspond to physical quantities. Chromaticity spaces like xy chromaticity provide a convenient ...
The author, an engineer, created a seamless ambiance experience from a 7-minute video by extracting the audio assets and using the Web Audio API to recreate them. They used plugins like SoundFilter to identify the desired asset and then processed it with JavaScript code.
A tool called Typebase-io-cli helps create a fully typed server with database schema, actions, and auth in a single folder, allowing for explicit authorization and backend functions that live in code. It enables developers to deploy their server on various platforms without owning any servers.
