os8088 is a hobby project that recreates a Macintosh System 1-style desktop for the Intel 8086, featuring overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and pre-emptive multitasking. It boots from a floppy and runs entirely in real-mode assembly, with a 40KB kernel and a graphical interface that fits in 256K of RAM on an Intel 8086 or 8088 processor.
Tim Berners-Lee's "Cool URIs don't change" is challenged by link rot, where web documents often disappear over time. A bet on longbets.org/601 aims to prove a site can survive 11 years with a stable URI system.
The user discusses optimizing A* pathfinding by improving the heuristic function, specifically using landmarks to guide the search towards the goal. Landmarks can be used to create a lower bound for the path length, and multiple landmarks can be used to cover more of the map, but their placement depends on the start point, goal, and map layout.
Shopify used SKIP LOCKED, composite primary keys, and connection visibility to handle high-throughput inventory reservations during peak traffic. The solution eliminated overselling and underselling issues, improved database health, and allowed Shopify to meet its scale targets on Black Friday 2025.
A QR code is a grid of squares that encodes data, with function patterns for easy scanning and data modules for storing information. By modifying data modules, QR codes can be made to look distinctive, but may be less robust when scanning.
Fastmail now offers data storage in the European Union, specifically in Amsterdam, in addition to its US locations. You can choose your region and primary data storage location, with encrypted backups in Philadelphia.
The author argues that people's values and moral convictions are often shallow and easily influenced by incentives, and that true integrity and courage come from confronting and overcoming one's own flaws and biases. The author suggests that people who develop strong values and principles are those who have undergone a kind of moral reckoning, often triggered by a personal experience or ...
Unexpected events, such as a person dressed as Batman, can increase prosocial behavior by disrupting routine and enhancing attention to the present moment. This study found that passengers on a Milan metro were more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant woman when Batman was present, suggesting that novel and unexpected events can promote kindness in public settings.
for-sale is a DNS leaf node name signaling a domain is available for purchase, defined by RFC 10023 and registered with IANA. It's not a parking service, but a way for brokers and automated services to check domain availability without disrupting the site.
The author of Daring Fireball retracted an article about an App Store rejection due to incorrect information. The article was about Terry Godier's astrology app "Asterly" being rejected, but Godier had actually submitted an astronomy app under the same name.

Game developers should aim to create a smooth difficulty curve by introducing new mechanics and challenges gradually, allowing players to feel a sense of progression and accomplishment. To achieve this, developers can use various techniques such as providing subtle hints, allowing players to grind for experience, and hiding shortcuts that require knowledge to access, all while monitoring ...
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed HB5511, requiring age verification for devices sold or used in the state by January 2028. The bill restricts app access for minors under 18, with safety settings including feed restrictions and blocked messages from adults.
Each card opens the packet: what has been proved, which routes failed, and the code behind every computation. determine the exact number of initial sets whose closure is the entire board. for every (varepsilonin(0,1)), does there exist a constant such that, for each integer nge2, every finite-dimensional real banach space xdim xdelta(
To achieve a toon look in 3D rendering, the most common way is to threshold the lighting. It transforms the soft color gradients into flat colors. However, one might want to mix the 2D and 3D looks: big sharp highlights at low roughness and soft gradients at high roughness. It feels more modern than classic toon shading, and we can rely on PBR for most of our shading, making everyone's ...
Something that has always bothered me has been the assert() statement. While I personally consider the simple assertion statement as part of the bedrock of correct, safe, and supportable software, I feel that it also has come up a bit short in some regards. First, a lot of assert() implementations are simply under powered. While they do provide a bit of useful information, these ...
A team of students at the 12Urenloop in Ghent, Belgium, experimented with using UltraWideBand (UWB) technology to track runners' positions in real-time, achieving accurate measurements and a high measurement rate. The team successfully tested the system on a corner of the circuit and plans to integrate it into the existing batons and improve its reliability for future use.
We introduced Neptune, a Direct3D protocol layer, to improve Wine game performance on Linux guests. We've now achieved full DirectX 11 support in QEMU virtual machines with a new Windows driver called Triton and Neptune.
Donald Unger cracked his left knuckles for 50 years to prove arthritis warnings wrong, but found no difference in his hands. Studies show knuckle cracking is mostly harmless, but excessive neck cracking can cause serious injury.

The user created a video about web platform features and accessibility, but initially made a mistake by removing aria-label from a button, causing screen readers to announce incorrect information. They corrected the mistake by switching to aria-labelledby, which provides the button with an accessible name.

DDisasm is a fast disassembler that uses declarative logic programming to accurately disassemble ELF/PE files into reassemblable assembly code. It translates disassembly results into GTIRB for binary analysis and reverse engineering.
The software development profession is undergoing significant change due to AI, but coding remains a complex and skilled craft that requires patience, attention to detail, and experience. To adapt, developers must understand the industry's tectonic shift and be willing to learn adjacent fields like user experience, customer interviews, and business strategies.
Feature flags are useful for A/B testing, complex epics, and mitigating deployment issues, but overusing them can lead to code complexity, tech debt, and bugs. They should be used judiciously, not as a substitute for automated testing and QA processes.
