Microsoft changed the red X button during the GWX campaign in May 2016 to schedule Windows 10 upgrades instead of closing the dialog. The article does not mention how long it took to restore the ability to move the taskbar after it was removed.
An interactive journey through 30 years of the web
The user and their friend Hazel hacked into their friend Frank's apartment complex's intercom system to unlock the gate using Apple Home. They used an ESP32 relay board, a Matter library in Rust, and a rectifying regulator to create a discreet device that could unlock the gate with a tap on Frank's phone.
lnav automatically detects and processes log files, including compressed ones, with online help and previews. It outperforms standard terminal tools in processing large log files like a 3.3GB access log.
Ripgrep is a fast, cross-platform command line search tool that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw performance of GNU grep, offering features like Unicode support, regex engine options, and file type filtering. It is designed to be a hybrid of grep-like and ack-like tools, providing both speed and smart default searching capabilities, making it a suitable replacement ...
Researchers present Memory Sparse Attention (MSA), a scalable sparse latent-state memory framework for efficient end-to-end memory model scaling. MSA achieves near-linear complexity and <9% degradation from 16K to 100M tokens.
Qite.js is a lightweight frontend framework that enhances HTML with declarative behavior without requiring a virtual DOM or complex setup. It allows you to write components in plain JavaScript, separate from HTML and CSS, and works naturally with standard CSS transitions and animations.

The author created an I/O co-processor called BIO, which is a more efficient and flexible alternative to the Raspberry Pi's PIO, consuming about half the area of the PIO and achieving over 4x the clock rate when ported to an ASIC flow. The BIO uses a RISC-V 32-bit core and has a spacious 4 kiB of RAM, allowing for more complex code and higher-level features such as fixed-point math and ...
User tried Autoresearch on a research problem with Claude Code, an LLM agent. The agent improved a Mean Rank metric by modifying a single file, train.py, and reduced the metric by 54% in 42 experiments.
Mozilla AI is developing an open-source platform called cq to share knowledge between AI agents, preventing them from wasting resources and energy by learning from each other's experiences. The goal is to create a sustainable and standardized way for AI agents to share knowledge, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all without relying on a few big companies.
The tool is an interactive 6502 disassembler for Commodore 8-bit computers with features like live disassembly and breakpoints. It has a TUI with modern features like x-ref and keyboard-driven navigation.
To replace your Linux installation with a new OS, you can download a pre-prepared disk image directly to your disk by running a command like this: No need to save it anywhere first, just pipe it directly to the disk. Then you can reboot into that OS, and congratulations, you’ve installed a new OS. This works even for most EFI machines without any further efibootmgr commands because EFI ...
Gerd Faltings, a 71-year-old German mathematician, has been awarded the Abel Prize for his influential work on the Mordell conjecture, now known as Faltings's theorem. The theorem proves that certain curves have a finite number of rational points, a cornerstone of arithmetic geometry.
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.
The user discusses customizable selects in web browsers, creating demos with new features like stack of folders and card picker, using HTML, CSS, and new syntax like sibling-index() function. The user showcases three demos, each with unique styling and animations, highlighting the capabilities of customizable selects.
An attacker exploited Resolv DeFi protocol's off-chain infrastructure by gaining access to a privileged private key, minting 80 million unbacked USR tokens, and extracting $23 million in value. The attack highlights the importance of real-time on-chain threat detection and automated response mechanisms to prevent similar incidents in DeFi systems.
Why is KDB/Q widely used by the world’s top quants, banks, and hedge funds? Modern data-intensive applications require extreme performance when handling large-scale datasets. Whether analyzing financial transactions, processing IoT telemetry, or massive real-time datasets, speed is everything. KDB-X, the next evolution of kdb+, has long been recognized as the world’s fastest time series ...
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 ...

The author of Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture initially opposed distributed objects due to the difference in behavior between in-process and remote calls. However, microservices don't violate this law as they don't aim for in-process/remote transparency.
Our AI noise remover automatically cleans audio and video files by detecting and removing background noise without affecting the original voice. It's completely free, no sign-up required, and works instantly with no usage limits.
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 ...
At the moment only SST1 (Voodoo1) is supported on IP32 (O2). Only tested on IRIX 6.5.30 with RM7000C CPU.-driver sources (SST1 and CVG support on IP32) https://github.com/sdz-mods/tdfx_irix-glide2x IRIX port (SST1 on IP32) https://github.com/sdz-mods/glide_irix-hinv wrapper with 3dfx support: https://github.com/sdz-mods/hinv_3dfx
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 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.
cliamp is a retro terminal music player with features like spectrum visualizer, parametric EQ, and playlist management. It supports local files, streams, podcasts, and various online music platforms.
TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks are sunsetting after over a decade of helping developers understand performance. The project's impact remains in its repository and history, inspiring a community-driven approach to measurement.
