I built a transport-independent foundation for JSON API clients in Perl

Writing a simple API client is easy. my $response = $http -> get ( $url ); Then the client starts being used in production. Suddenly, it needs to handle: query parameters JSON encoding and decoding structured errors retries and Retry-After rate limits pagination authentication request IDs logging and metrics idempotency At that point, what started as a small API wrapper often becomes a collection of infrastructure code. I fou...

Game Engine Zero: a free Go book where you build Pong, Snake and Breakout before any engine talk

Game Engine Zero is the other book on my shelf, and it's the one I'd hand to someone who has never made a game. The first chapter went into the repo on 2026-08-19. Three volumes are written so far, 24 chapters, 435 pages, over 13 working days and 105 commits. Same method as its sibling book The World, which I wrote about yesterday: I draft with AI assistance, and a tool re-runs every command in the text and checks the output before a chapter ships. Volume 1 is called Three Arcade Games and...

Show HN: CUA-S1 โ€“ A System One Model for Computer Use

Hello HN! We're Dillon and Francesco from Cua. We were wondering how many computer use tasks actually need a full general purpose LLM (e.g. gpt-6-astra, claude-opus-5 etc.) to think through all their decisions and steps. Some tasks require thinking about a plan, exploring different paths, recovering from failure. Other tasks are a question of making local decisions, like this value should go in this box, or should I check this box, or this element should be ignored. We wondered how far we could ...

On Friday, the president threatened to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House. It could have just been another one of his Truth Social fever dreams, but it turns out it's very real. All three publications were turned away from the White House this morning, NPR reports, marking an escalation in the [โ€ฆ]
