   Anyone care to guesstimate how much effort there would be in creating an actually-secure curl and openssl? Using something like Common Lisp or Lean, instead of C.

   I as skeptical as the next guy when it comes to the claim that ambient audio modulates the fluorescent light. But I could sure use more details on what analysis was done to the photos. Sounds like there were several photos taken, say 100m

   I distinctly remember paying $40 per megabyte at Costco to upgrade my Cyrix 486-40 from 4MB to 8MB (maybe 1994 or so).

   I suppose I could envision a scenario like: Service A has a "reset your password" option. Someone with a "user@popular-unicode-domain.com" tries to use this option. Normally this fails when mangled-popular-unicode-doma

   I don't think that is a reasonable request for a response to a comment post, but in my experience, many lisp macro advocates come from other procedural / OO languages and aren't well acquainted with other programming paradigm

   Or you could wrap arguments in lambdas (anonymous functions) for eagerly-evaluted languages. Lisp unfortunately has a bulky syntax for lambdas, compared to something like Smalltalk. Of course, you can fix this with reader macros in Common

   If you want to get to the meat of the issue, without the extraneous stuff, you might also tackle: Godel's Theorem Simplified. https://www.amazon.com/Godels-Theorem-Simplified-Harry-Gensl...

    I'm interested in reading more about how reader macros make `eval` better/useful.

    Looking forward to reading the results of your benchmarking Hurd vs. Linux.

    I'm having a hard time believing that data centers are chomping at the bit to use the Hurd.

    >small enough to fit entirely in the L2 cache Shouldn't the "hot" path fit in the L1 of a "modern" processor (100 kB+)?

    If people really cared about performance, we'd be doing something other than the bloated way we have been doing things. https://winworldpc.com/product/qnx/144mb-demo

    So for an I/O heavy program like a web browser, what percentage of CPU time is spent in syscalls? Someone must have that data for Firefox. 1%? 10%? And then that moves to 1.1% (or 11%)? And then every other program is even less aff

    Hurd is like 36 years old at this point. More like adding 20% to a 10 second operation, compared to adding 20% to a 10ms operation.

    Is that a bottleneck anymore? Maybe something that was appreciable in 1994 isn't a big performance hit in 2026?

    Anyone have the source for the three Waymo serious injuries or deaths? I feel like I would have heard about these on HN. Only thing I've heard of is one feline fatality and a school-aged pedestrian who was bumped, but appeared not to

    Is there a source of average price per wedding over time, since say 1800? $12,000 still sounds over the top, even accounting for inflation.

    Decompiling binary blobs is a strong suit for LLM AI, right? Maybe progress on this will be faster than I expect? Does the FSF spend money on non-free AI services? That is, do they have ethical issues with that? Or do they only use AGPL
