Right to root access
I believe consumers, as a right, should be able to install software of their choosing to any computing device that is owned outright. This should apply regardless of the computer’s form factor. In addition to traditional computing devices like PCs and laptops, this right should apply to devices like mobile phones, “smart home” appliances, and even industrial equipment like tractors. In 2025, we’re ultra-connected via a network of devices we do not have full control over. Much of this has t … ⌘ Read more

How UNIX spell ran in 64kB RAM
How do you fit a 250kB dictionary in 64kB of RAM and still perform fast lookups? For reference, even with modern compression techniques like gzip -9, you can’t compress this file below 85kB. In the 1970s, Douglas McIlroy faced this exact challenge while implementing the spell checker for Unix at AT&T. The constraints of the PDP-11 computer meant the entire dictionary needed to fit in just 64kB of RAM. A seemingly impossible task. ↫ Abhinav Upadhyay They still managed to … ⌘ Read more

Why don’t Australians source more coffee from our region?

MorphOS 3.19 released
It’s been about 18 months, but we’ve got a new release for MorphOS, the Amiga-like operating system for PowerPC Macs and some other PowerPC-based machines. Going through the list of changes, it seems MorphOS 3.19 focuses heavily on fixing bugs and addressing issues, rather than major new features or earth-shattering changes. Of note are several small but important updates, like updated versions of OpenSSL and OpenSSH, as well as a ton of new filetype definitions – and so much more. Havin … ⌘ Read more

It left me gutted, but like in a good way. It leaves so much unsaid, which I found pleasant and sorrowful and so yawningly, humongously open that it left me feeling a little claustrophobic.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 8.50 miles, 00:09:50 average pace, 01:23:31 duration
garmin gps really fucked this one up. it thought i ran a half marathon at like a 7:00 pace or something.

the run was okay. it was a bit warmer and humid this morning, but really i am just a bit worn out i think. it was a bit boring so i turned on the podcast “telepathy tapes” and that was at least background noise.

10 Things You May Not Know About the London Underground

Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation “fields” works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box.

All in all it’s quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The lin … ⌘ Read more

10 Disturbing Superstitions That Killed
Humanity has always had a thing for superstitions—those quirky, often nonsensical beliefs that spice up our lives with a touch of paranoia. They have us knocking on wood when we tempt fate, giving black cats the side-eye, and detouring around ladders like they’re crime scenes. Harmless, right? Not always. While most superstitions are charming little […]
