How I analyzed the lineups at the world’s most popular nightclubs ยท Karl Tryggvason

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Main takeaway: A few years back I did a bit of dance music related data visualization over at Lazily Evaluated. My favourite was an analysis of clubs and their lineups using Resident Advisor / RA data, I called it Clubster Analysis. I always wanted to dig into the technical aspects of gathering the data, analyzing it and building the charts and graphs to tell a story and give people insight. With this blog I now have the right venue for that kind of tech talk, so here…

Cloudflare Tells U.S. Govt That Foreign Site Blocking Efforts Are Digital Trade Barriers * TorrentFreak

โœจ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Key idea: Every year, the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) publishes the National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers. The report is compiled based on input from key industry players. This includes submissions from copyright industry groups that frequently highlight piracy challenges that in their view act as barriers to trade. In previous years, for example, the MPA and others have called for more site-blocking efforts to counter the piracy threat. Interestingly, however, other American companies now inform the USTR that foreign site-blocking measures…

Eating stinging nettles โ€“ rachel.blog

๐Ÿš€ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: ๐Ÿ“Œ Main takeaway: Spring is here and the nettles are growing again so I decided it was time to make a meal out of them. Most people know that stinging nettles are pesky green plants that irritate the skin when you touch them. What you probably donโ€™t know is that theyโ€™re a nutritious source of iron, calcium, potassium, and silica as well as vitamins A, B, C, and K1. Stinging nettles also have anti-inflammatory properties and can relieve arthritis and rheumatism. They can be turned into soups, curries, and…

โœจ Discover this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Key idea: 03 Nov, 2025 Author's NoteI have spent the better part of a decade in the bug bounty industry, and my perspective on this industry is shaped by this experience. The first five years were spent as a bug hunter and vulnerability researcher, where I developed an intimate understanding of what it takes to find, verify, and responsibly disclose security vulnerabilities. The last five years have been spent at HackerOne (Nov, 2020 - Present), starting as a vulnerability triager where I personally reviewed tens of thousands of…

matisojka/qqqa: Fast, stateless LLM for your shell: qq answers; qa runs commands

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Key idea: Fast, stateless LLM-powered assistant for your shell: qq answers; qa runs commands qqqa is a two-in-one, stateless CLI tool that brings LLM assistance to the command line without ceremony. The two binaries are: qq - ask a single question, e.g. "qq how can I recursively list all files in this directory" (qq stands for "quick question") qa - a single step agent that can optionally use tools to finish a task: read a file, write a file, or execute a command with confirmation (qa stands for…

The state of SIMD in Rust in 2025 | by Sergey “Shnatsel” Davidoff | Nov, 2025

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Key idea: Whatโ€™s SIMD? Why SIMD?Hardware that does arithmetic is cheap, so any CPU made this century has plenty of it. But you still only have one instruction decoding block and it is hard to get it to go fast, so the arithmetic hardware is vastly underutilized.To get around the instruction decoding bottleneck, you can feed the CPU a batch of numbers all at once for a single arithmetic operation like addition. Hence the name: โ€œsingle instruction, multiple data,โ€ or SIMD for short.Instead of adding two numbers together,…
