A programming language for humans.

🔥 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Eat Your Greens (EYG) is a statically typed functional programming language. It is a better programming language, for some measure of better. This post explains what I consider to be better and which features that requires adding or removing from the language. End user programming disappointment I started building a language during a 10 week wait for my visa to start a new job in Sweden. I built EYG specifically after noticing a recurring pattern amongst technically minded, but not professional, developers. The pattern was…

Using an open model feels surprisingly good

🚀 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: July 27, 2026 I've been using Claude and ChatGPT like the next guy for probably two years now. I've never been a huge "open software" nerd or anything like that. But just now, I got opencode working on my own inference endpoint and... it felt surprisingly good. It feels... freeing, somehow. I own the endpoint, and my data just goes from my laptop to there and back. It feels like it's mine. It's really nice. The motivation for this was that I just got…

Astronauts returning from six-month missions describe a persistent ‘observer’ sensation — the feeling of watching their own lives from a half-step outside the frame, weeks after they’re back on the ground

Astronauts returning from six-month missions describe a persistent ‘observer’ sensation — the feeling of watching their own lives from a half-step outside the frame, weeks after they’re back on the ground

💥 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Astronauts coming home from long stays on the International Space Station have, for years, described a strange perceptual aftertaste: a sense of watching their own lives from a half-step outside the frame. They sit at dinner with family and feel like a guest. They drive on a familiar street and feel like they’re piloting it. The room is loud and they are in it, but a part of them is hovering near the ceiling, taking notes. It is not a clinical diagnosis. It does not…

We package C/C++ projects for the Zig build system so that you can reliably compile (and cross-compile!) them with ease. This both provides convenience for users of the Zig compiler toolchain and also showcases to C/C++ project maintainers what a build.zig file for their project looks like. I maintain one of the projects you packaged, what value does your work provide? As a general answer, we add a dependency…

A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months

A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months

🚀 Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: One missing underscore in a Skyrim-themed username put an innocent Nova Scotia man in prison for 18 months. A 2018 child-luring investigation, which began in Madison, Wisconsin, and eventually extended to Halifax, Canada, was based on a false premise. Police were looking for a man using the Kik messaging service under the name “fus__ro_dah” (two underscores after “fus”), but they accidentally requested records for the username “fus_ro_dah” (one underscore after “fus”). This one-character difference led them not to the perpetrator but to a Canadian man…

How platform engineering 2.0 mitigates AI security and compliance risks

How platform engineering 2.0 mitigates AI security and compliance risks

🚀 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Platform engineering teams have spent the last decade standardizing Kubernetes clusters, pipelines, internal developer platforms (IDPs), and processes for web and microservice workloads. Now, as organizations integrate large language models (LLMs) and AI agents into production workflows, platform engineering 1.0 is shifting into platform engineering 2.0. This shift to platform engineering 2.0 has clear implications for security, specifically for isolation and compliance in this new agentic world. But for those understandably concerned about what they must spend, an effective platform engineering 2.0 strategy should represent an…

Professor’s invisible prompt trap catches 32 students cheating on their midterm with AI

🔥 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Facepalm: Modern problems require modern solutions – according to the meme. In this case, the issue is students using AI to cheat on assignments. The solution, used to great effect by one professor, was to hide a white-colored font in the assignment prompt telling the AI to talk nonsense about an unrelated subject. In an online discussion post, Alcorn State University history professor Dr. Jason Gibson posed a question that represented part of his students' midterm. It was about the Industrial Revolution, but knowing how…

Python Standalone Builds — python-build-standalone documentation

🚀 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: This project produces self-contained, highly-portable Python distributions. These Python distributions contain a fully-usable, full-featured Python installation: most extension modules from the Python standard library are present and their library dependencies are either distributed with the distribution or are statically linked. The Python distributions are built in a manner to minimize run-time dependencies. This includes limiting the CPU instructions that can be used and limiting the set of shared libraries required at run-time. The goal is for the produced distribution to work on any system for…
