It shouldn't work this way. Seniors have more experience handling pressure. Better coping strategies. Clearer boundaries. More career capital to protect themselves with. By every reasonable measure, they should be more resilient to burnout than juniors. And yet the pattern is consistent: senior developers burn out harder, recover slower, and accumulate damage that takes longer to reverse than their junior counterparts hitting the same environmental pressure. The reason isn't psychologic...

In 1997 a Pokémon episode aired in Japan with a four-second red-and-blue strobe. 685 children went to hospital that night. The regulations that followed — Ofcom Broadcasting Code 2.12, ITU-R BT.1702 — are why UK and Japanese broadcast deliveries have to clear a photosensitive-epilepsy check before transmission. I built a screening tool for that check. Live at flashframe-production.up.railway.app , code at github.com/edycutjong/flashframe . Three synthetic test clips ship with it, so you can...

Sooner or later an AI tool will take something back. A feature you used gets retired on a deadline , a plan you were on gets restructured, or you simply decide to leave — and you go looking for the export button so you can carry your history, your chats, the reports and images the thing made for you, somewhere else. Often, there isn’t one. And when you reach for the law instead, you find something stranger than a flat “no”: a right that half-fits, written for a world before chatbots. Answer ...

Hi HN, we are Sina Atalay and Abdullah Geduk, co-founders of Academa. We are both PhD students. We thought: what if lecture videos were written as code and compiled into video using computer graphics and TTS? Then LLMs could write them, and lectures could be fixed with code edits instead of video production. On correctness: LLMs may make mistakes. But these videos are code sitting in our repository, and we can maintain them. Every report and review becomes a fix in the source, and everyone who w...

After funding struggles and a name change, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been successfully launched. It will now make a three-month, one-million-mile journey to its orbit at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2) beyond the Moon. From this vantage point, Roman will conduct an unprecedented survey of the universe. Its field of view […]

Over 12 terabytes of data, containing builds of every game uploaded to Steam between 2003 and 2013, has been leaked. We don't know everything in the archives yet because of its massive size. But people have already dug up assets related to the canceled Half-Life 2: Episode 3, content cut from Portal 2, and a […]

Elon Musk says a secretive new SpaceX foundry will let him cast his own turbine blades and get gas power online 18 months faster than anyone else — but it's a bet on a fuel source that's already triggering lawsuits and health studies everywhere his (and others') turbines have gone in.

The Liux Big microcar is made in Spain. The startup thinks it can compete in a crowded market with its tiny electric car built around sustainability.

Most engineers and analysts treat a mortgage calculator as a black box: enter three numbers, get a monthly payment back, walk away. When something looks wrong on a loan estimate, the instinct is to suspect the bank, the broker, or the tool itself — without a way to verify which one. This article takes the opposite approach. It treats the calculator's full amortization schedule as a dataset you can audit, and lays out a practical checklist for spotting inconsistencies, reconciling the output agai...

After sixty-seven published posts here, the comments have become one of the best parts of the work. Some of you have run my code, found things I missed, challenged a claim, or brought me a project of your own. I also want to distinguish bots from real people. I know some of you by the exact problem we were discussing. I still do not know what many of you are building, learning, enjoying, or trying to become outside that thread. So this post is different. I am going to introduce myself firs...

This is one from a bot I run myself, not a client audit — but the same shape shows up often enough in code I review that it's worth writing up on its own. "Backtest looked fine, live looks worse" usually gets diagnosed as slippage or a broken exit. This one wasn't either. The stop-loss and take-profit fired exactly where they were supposed to. The problem was one line above that: what "reward" and "risk" actually meant once real costs were counted. What the setup was supposed to be ...

Web browsers enforce the Same-Origin Policy by default to protect users from malicious scripts trying to read data across distinct origins. However, modern application architectures almost always require cross-origin communication. Single-page applications, mobile clients, and embedded web components regularly fetch data and stream AI model inferences across separate domains, subdomains, and ports. To allow these interactions safely, applications must implement Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (...
