✨ Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Amiga UNIX (also known as “Amix”) was Commodore's port of AT&T System V Release 4 Unix to the Amiga in 1990. Like many early Unix variants, Amiga Unix never became wildly popular, but it is an interesting sidestep in the history of the Amiga. The two “official” machines that could run Amix were the Amiga 2500UX and 3000UX models, however it can run on any Amiga that meets its hardware requirements. The awesome Amiga emulator WinUAE has been able to run it since 2013…

🚀 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Scaling is a complex topic, but after working at big tech on services handling millions of requests and scaling my own startup (AlgoMaster.io) from scratch, I’ve realized that most systems evolve through a surprisingly similar set of stages as they grow.The key insight is that you should not over-engineer from the start. Start simple, identify bottlenecks, and scale incrementally.In this article, I’ll walk you through 7 stages of scaling a system from zero to 10 million users and beyond.

🔥 Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: This is a long, rambling story with a useful punchline. I posted it on a weekend so you could skip it without feeling guilty. Thanks to my friend Michael for reminding me. Twenty five years ago, I led the creation of a line of computer adventure games in conjunction with major science fiction and mystery authors. Ray Bradbury, Michael Crichton, Erle Stanley Gardner’s estate, etc. One night, I took Harry Harrison out drinking (he drank, I drove). After a few tequilas, Harry announced, "I don’t…

🔥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: 2025-11-30 It's not much, but it's mine In the past three years, I've been using LLMs for assisted coding. If you read this, you probably went through the same evolution: from copying and pasting code into ChatGPT, to Copilot auto-completions (which never worked for me), to Cursor, and finally the new breed of coding agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, Amp, Droid, and opencode that became our daily drivers in 2025. I preferred Claude Code for most of my work. It was the first…

💥 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: While Galvani was later proven wrong in the details, he wasn’t totally off. Virtually every cell on every branch of the tree of life expends a hefty chunk of its energy budget — in some cells, more than half — on maintaining a voltage across its membrane. The voltage difference that results, called the membrane potential, stores potential energy that can be released later. It’s like the pressure behind a dam: Gravity tugs water downhill, and dams store energy by holding water at the top…

💥 Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: An interesting file system feature that I came across a few years ago is sparse files. In short, many file systems allow you to create a logical file with "empty" (fully zeroed) blocks that are not physically backed until they get written to. Partially copying from ArchWiki, the behavior looks like this: The file starts at 0 physical bytes on disk despite being logically 512MB. Then, after writing some non-zero bytes at a 16MB offset, it physically allocates a single block (4KB). The file…
