🔥 Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Jennifer Combs had never gotten so much as a speeding ticket. On May 8, police in Trinidad, Texas, arrested her on a state jail felony charge for writing a Facebook post about the town’s water supply. The post said residents had been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. The city says that claim was false. So they sent cops to her door. The charge is felony false alarm or report under Texas Penal Code § 42.06, a statute designed for people who call…

JWT is a scam and your app doesn’t need it — Dusan Malusev

0 CommentsEntertainment
✨ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I am tired of pretending JWT is fine. It isn't. It's a cargo cult. It solves a problem your app almost certainly does not have, it creates four or five problems your app definitely does have, and a generation of backend developers has been bullied into shipping it because some blog post in 2014 said "stateless" like it was a virtue instead of a tradeoff. Every Laravel app I started with tymondesigns/jwt-auth I eventually ripped it out of. Every JWT-based system I've audited has the…

Reverse engineering circuitry in a Spacelab computer from 1980

Reverse engineering circuitry in a Spacelab computer from 1980

🔥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Spacelab was a reusable laboratory that could be carried in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle, providing lab space for astronauts and experiments. Spacelab was controlled by a French-built minicomputer, called the Mitra 125 MS. Unlike modern computers, this computer didn't contain a microprocessor chip. Instead, its 16-bit processor was constructed from several boards of chips. In this article, I reverse-engineer one of the processor boards, shown below, part of the computer's Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU). The Mitra 125 MS computer, built by CIMSA,…

🚀 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: By Susam Pal on 07 Dec 2019 Introduction Fifteen years ago, writing Lisp code in Vim was an odd adventure. There were no good plugins for Vim that assisted in structured editing of Lisp s-expressions or allowed interactive programming by embedding a Lisp Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) or a debugger within the editor. The situation has improved a lot since then. In the last ten years, we have seen active development of two Vim plugins named Slimv and Vlime. Slimv is over 10 years old now. Vlime…

z386: An Open-Source 80386 Built Around Original Microcode

0 CommentsEntertainment
🚀 Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: This is the fifth installment of the 80386 series. The FPGA CPU is now far enough along to run real software, and this post is about how it works. z386 is a 386-class CPU built around the original Intel microcode, in the same spirit as z8086. The core is not an instruction-by-instruction emulator in RTL. The goal is to recreate enough of the original machine that the recovered 386 control ROM can drive it. Today z386 boots DOS 6 and DOS 7, runs protected-mode programs…

🔥 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Introduction The , or description list, element is underrated. It’s used to represent a list of name–value pairs. This is a common UI pattern that, at the same time, is incredibly versatile. For instance, you’ve probably seen these layouts out in the wild… Each of these examples shows a list (or lists!) of name–value pairs. You might have also seen lists of name–value pairs to describe lodging amenities, or to list out individual charges in your monthly rent, or in glossaries of technical terms.…

💥 Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: There is a theory, popular among certain very old and very tired philosophers, that all memories take up a kind of furniture in the head. The good ones are armchairs. The painful ones are filing cabinets, usually full. And then there are the memories that are neither: the ones that arrive uninvited, settle in, and start terrorising the other occupants by kicking over the chairs. Sir Terry Pratchett, who knew more about furniture than most, put it this way: Rincewind tried to force the memory…

Josef Prusa (@josefprusa): “BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork, with the same networking binary black box in question today. Why are they willing to burn the goodwill over it? There’s something most have sensed but never seen it all in one place, the five-law framework China built between 2017 and 2023 ⤵️ So maybe their hand is forced as their “network” is too valuable already? Each law on its own, interesting, okay… Read them together, and add any Chinese company with big reach to the mix you get the complete picture. 1) National Intelligence Law (2017) All organizations and citizens must “support, assist, and cooperate” with intelligence work. The same law makes it illegal to disclose that cooperation happened. Cooperation is mandatory, and silence about it is mandatory too. 2) Cryptography Law (2020) Commercial encryption must be state-approved and state-reviewed. When authorities request it, companies must provide decryption keys or plaintext. The state on both sides of that equation is the same one. 3) Data Security Law (2021) Article 2 gives the state extraterritorial reach over data that touches Chinese national security or public interests. So EU/US data hosting does nothing to make it safe, because jurisdiction follows the company, not the server location. 4) Counter-Espionage Law revision (2023) The general definition of espionage was expanded to cover “documents, data, materials, or items related to national security and interests.” Industrial data is one of the intended targets since the revision. 5) Network Product Security Vulnerability regulation (2021) Any company or researcher that discovers a software vulnerability must report it to MIIT within 48 hours. From there it flows to CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database of Information Security), operated by the 13th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security. Microsoft’s threat intelligence team documented Chinese state-hacker zero-day usage rising after this took effect. Shows the willingness to use the “tools” China built. Together they describe a system with no neutral exits. Cooperation is required, encryption is real but the spare keys live at the ministry, jurisdiction follows the company across borders, industrial data is in scope, and discovered vulnerabilities flow to an intelligence agency 😬 3D printing became strategic for China in 2020 and joined the “Made in China 2025” plan soon after. Why does 3D printing matter so much? 1/x”
