The user completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science on Coursera after 3 years and 9 months of part-time study while working full-time, and they found the experience challenging but rewarding despite some frustrations with the platform and grading process. The user appreciated the flexibility and affordability of the program, as well as the opportunity to learn from and connect with ...
The user discusses the concept of compressibility and how it relates to statistical randomness and algorithmic structure, using the example of the first million digits of pi versus a random sequence of digits to illustrate the difference between statistical and structural compressibility. The user also explores the concept of Kolmogorov complexity and how it relates to the compressibility of ...
The Flipper Zero team has decided to allocate resources to maintain the firmware and support community contributions. They will review community requests through GitHub Discussions, with voting for feature requests and stricter contribution rules.
Phosphor, a digital learning platform, increased final exam performance by 0.71-1.30 SD in Introductory Statistics at Dartmouth College. Full engagement with Phosphor showed a substantial cumulative benefit, with students who passed all three Module Reviews scoring 7.1 points higher on the final exam.
The author discusses the NES's composite video signal, which has a wobbly picture due to its design. The NES's colorburst frequency is a half-integer multiple of its line rate, causing artifacts in the image.
The user created a drawing app called Mr. Baby Paint for toddlers to encourage creative play and designed it with a co-op approach for parents and toddlers to work together. The app features a simple interface, rewarding actions, and a flood fill based cellular automata that creates organic patterns when used in a specific way.

PlayStation's decision to stop producing disks for new games is about killing ownership and limiting consumer rights. This move will make it harder for people to trade, sell, and preserve games.
A browser roguelike where every monster is an Algae proof. Recover Miriam's ring before sunrise.
Strange spherical objects found on Queensland’s beaches on Sunday could be potentially hazardous “space debris” that has washed ashore, Australian authorities have warned. Half a dozen such balls have been collected by officials along Queensland’s coastline, including in Forrest Beach. The beach was temporarily shut off to the public after a 50-metre exclusion zone was put in place. ...
Dnsglobe is a Rust TUI that checks DNS propagation globally, querying 34 resolvers in parallel and showing results on a world map. It can be installed via Homebrew or crates.io and used to track DNS propagation for a domain.
As regular readers of my blog know well, I enjoy navel-gazing and writing about writing. I consider myself a specimen of curiosity just as I do any other topic I write about. Being someone who has decided to write so frequently and publicly, I've gone over the throughlines and various thesis topics I've discovered I gravitate towards, I've gone over my workflow from idea to ...
Delta Flight 1076 made contact with a firework while landing at Chicago's Midway Airport on July 4. The plane landed safely without an emergency landing, despite the incident.
On January 24, 1956, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company was the largest private company in the world. Its revenues amounted to almost 2% of the U.S. gross domestic product. It employed 746,000 people. It owned Bell Labs, the fabled research division that had already produced the transistor, the solar cell, information theory, and radio astronomy, while also actively laying the first ...
The author compares Ruby's dependency management to Go's, finding Go's system more secure due to its direct VCS fetching and lack of a "publish a package" step.
The article discusses an op-amp circuit called the capacitance multiplier, which can increase a capacitor's apparent value by using two resistors and an op-amp. This circuit can be useful for signal filtering or timekeeping applications.

This is a free online textbook on compiler construction by Prof. Douglas Thain, suitable for undergraduate students with C programming experience. The book offers a one semester introduction to building a simple compiler for a C-like language.
A middleware change in a Go file-serving service caused a slowdown due to a single line of code that wrapped a *os.File in a logging reader, losing the fast path optimization. The fast path is preserved when using io.LimitReader, but wrapping with any other io.Reader loses the optimization and causes significant CPU overhead.
GPS receivers can be used at high altitudes and speeds without restrictions, but manufacturers must follow export control regulations. The current rule is that GPS receivers capable of providing navigation information at speeds greater than 600 m/s require a special license.
Search observed domains for exposed paths and misconfigurations. Substring search over the domain, case-insensitive, at least 3 characters. E.g. staging., .org, test-.
Research idea: empirically measure the scaling of coding LLM perplexity over codebase size to estimate the scaling laws of ‘predictability’ by programming language or other factors. This should translate into overall security and safety. We can measure this in contemporary LLMs expensively, by training from scratch and finetuning, or cheaply, by measuring perplexity over increasingly large ...
15 questions. Two axes. Which of 30 AI archetypes are you?
A new fork of the es40 alpha emulator, AXPBox, has been released with improved features. It allows running Windows 2000 on the DEC Alpha with massive speedups due to a JIT compiler.
