The author created a C compiler called SectorC that fits within a 512-byte boot sector of an x86 machine, achieving a size of 303 bytes after minimization. The compiler, known as Barely C, supports a subset of C features, including functions, if statements, and operators, and can be extended with new features using 200 bytes of spare space.
The user proposes a hypothesis that LLM agents will revolutionize software development by allowing humans to build 10x more with less effort, and suggests that this can be measured by the actual functional output delivered, not just lines of code. The user addresses common objections to this hypothesis, including concerns about quality, understandability, and the potential for LLM-generated ...
Berkeley DB is a software library that provides fast, flexible, and reliable data management, developed by Margo Seltzer and Keith Bostic.

A software factory uses AI to write code, run tests, and converge without human review, driven by specs and scenarios. The StrongDM AI team developed this concept, using a Digital Twin Universe to validate software at high volumes and rates.
Fast mode is a research preview feature that delivers faster Opus 4.6 responses at a higher cost per token. It's available via /fast in Claude Code CLI and VS Code Extension, with pricing starting at $30/150 MTok.
In early 2007, René Hudec was in Building D of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, thumbing through roomfuls of floor-to-ceiling cabinets that look more like a vast record collection than an academic archive. Each paper sleeve holds a glass plate, most of which are 8 by 10 inches, a historic photographic record of the cosmos from before the age of sophisticated digital detectors. ...

Wood gas cars, also known as producer gas cars, are a surprisingly efficient and ecological alternative to petrol cars that use firewood as fuel and have a comparable range to electric cars. Despite their industrial appearance, wood gas cars score well from an ecological viewpoint, but they are not user-friendly and have several drawbacks, including limited range and high maintenance requirements.
User wants to create a menu revealed by a growing circle using HTML and CSS only, without JavaScript. The circle's size is calculated based on the viewport's larger dimension.
Researchers share ten math questions to test AI systems, answers remain encrypted for now. The goal is to assess AI's ability to answer research-level math questions accurately.
Substack experienced a security incident where email addresses and phone numbers were shared without permission, but credit card numbers and other financial info were unaffected. The company has fixed the issue, started an investigation, and is asking users to be cautious with suspicious emails and texts.
User created a ~/bin/ directory to store custom Unix commands and scripts, but faced collisions with system commands. They solved this by prefixing their custom commands with a comma, allowing for easy tab completion and avoiding future collisions.

Tyres stick to hot asphalt as I drive the Stuart Highway from Alice Springs northward, leaving the MacDonnell Ranges behind. My destination is the Warramunga facility, about 500 kilometres north — a remote monitoring station I've directed for the Australian National University for nearly 19 years, and one of the most sensitive nuclear detection facilities on Earth. When I started ...
Large Language Models have evolved rapidly, replacing traditional programming tools like Stack Overflow. Historically, similar advancements in computing led to the development of simplified programming languages like FORTRAN and COBOL, democratizing access to technology.
OpenCiv3 is an open-source, cross-platform reimagining of Civilization III with modern graphics and mod capabilities. It's currently in early pre-alpha state with a playable game but lacking many mechanics and late-game content.
A technique is described that compresses chroma data of an image to less than 0.5 bits per pixel on average without visible artifacts by using a linear approximation of chroma values based on luma values. The technique uses varying block sizes and deblocking algorithms to improve compression ratio and reduce artifacts, and can be further improved with entropy coding and non-linear coding techniques.
Jonathan from Datawrapper analyzed science fiction and fantasy novel titles over decades using the ISFDB database. Classic sci-fi keywords peaked in the 1950s-60s and declined, while fantasy keywords increased, especially after 2000, with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings influencing the trend.
