I am thankful for arXiv only made minor adjustments to its UI over the years, and I hope arXiv keep it that way.

I suspect after the job cut, AI is rewriting the cloudflare UI. Today I tried to add a DNS record using the cloudflare dashboard. The UI looks very different from what I remember, it took me a while to find the add new record button, which

I wonder how many comments are from bots in this discussion. Few days ago there was a discussion of traffic stall at the strait of Hormuz on HN. One comment from an user with over 9000 Kama went like "I just checked the traffic on the

Interesting idea, but somehow I feel the world is shaking. For the processing program, what used to black(0.0) and white(1.0) has became very dark gray and very bright gray.

I use DuckDB and like it. Since many mentioned GB level json in this post, so they have large amount of data. Been column based, DuckDB uses more RAM as row count grows. It can be an advantage or disadvantage depends whether memory is const

I feel your pain. I also get "chatgpt/gemini/grok... CONFIRMED blah blah" as if these are ground truth. What is even more sad is it sometimes mixed with "from first principles...".

I guess I will setup something similar or more complex. But there are alternatives: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12114947 "George R.R. Martin Writes on a DOS-Based Word Processor From the 1980s". No intern

It uses the Python lib Astral, which uses "equations from Astronomical Algorithms, by Jean Meeus", to find location of the Sun in the sky. That method assuming earth motion without gravitational pull from other planets or the Moon

Content wise the RedHat docs are great, but navigating the doc has a wired feeling that is hard to describe. Everything is black and white, the page has low information density perhaps because of the line space or paragraph space; the types

I hope FreeBSD has longer supporting cycle. Its release has a supporting life of less than one year, if missing the upgrade window, then later upgrade is more difficult than others such as debian stable.

I just switched to single thread and didn't try to fix the issue. Single thread is fast enough to me, it has throughput ~ 730 Mbits/s in a OpenBSD 7.8 vm on a 7th gen i7 linux kvm host. https://github.com/infinet&#

There is a saying that many countries have offshored building hardware, aka manufacturing. Now they are offshoring software building to AI. Perhaps the silicon valley will grow a rust belt.

I tried OpenBSD recently and found it behaves very differently from other OS. The same code works on Linux/FreeBSD/Windows but has poor multi thread performance on OpenBSD, async socket stopped working after sending at high speed

There are few dnsmasq (only?) features that are indispensable to some. Examples: sending query of *.example.com to certain upstream servers, or returning NXDOMAIN for phishing sites, or adding all resolved IPs for *.example.org to an ipset

It is very difficult for people with impaired vision to find the scrollbars, buttons et.al. on windows 11. The scrollbars are too narrow and often auto hidden. The buttons are flat and not easy to separate from normal text. Tell one window

From my very limited experience with duckdb, being a column based database, simple query also need loads entire columns and that uses a lots of RAM if a table has millions of rows. Perhaps there is a way to make it more memory friendly but

Very interesting! For completeness, the job in the article is not strictly parallel, instead, they are separable tasks, which fall under high-throughput computing. HTCondor is a popular choice and is widely used in physics. If the cluster h

Once I used an old MIPS debian in qemu to test big endian. I thought since LoongArch has its root in MIPS it may be big endian. It turns out "LoongArch bit designations are always little-endian".

One reason is to use the Linux page cache instead of dedicating RAM to ZFS, given how expensive memory is now. I am very happy with MGLRU and won't miss ZFS's ARC.

Sticking head into a barbecue oven for 10 minutes might get rid of lice, but expecting cooking smoke kill bugs is absurd. People use the three stone and hearth fire not because they want the smoke, but because they do not know better. Combu
