Came here to say this too. :-) Thanks OP for making it so readable.

Ten Little Algorithms, Part 2: The Single-Pole Low-Pass Filter ( https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showarticle/779.php )

OK so this article is sort of about formal proof automation, but it seems more practically about Zstandard, which I very much enjoyed reading.

Could you please use a more readable variable-width font?

>Von Neumann is an interesting historical character that nobody has ever heard of huh? He's pretty famous to anyone who has studied either the history of computing or of the develo…

Are any of ChatGPT's statements erroneous? (how come Terence Tao gets this high quality output but I get hallucinations when I ask simpler math stuff?)

That doesn't mean it's more readable. This retro-terminal-website trend is so weird. When I was growing up, all the computers had was a fixed-width character set. Then GUI operatin…

Confused here. Are you talking about the execution speed of the compiler's output, or the compilation time itself? Java's compiler is extremely fast, compared to a C compiler. (I h…

TIL about Bun.

I think there is a loose connection. Hofstadter's 1979 masterpiece, Gödel Escher Bach ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach --- mentioned in an earlier reply), h…

Even crypto isn't that large: 2^4096 is kind of the norm here. Some mathematical researchers are working in the million, billion, or even trillion-bit range.

I agree mental health is important and have struggled with similar issues... but it is hard to read prose in fixed-width typefaces. Please consider a more readable serif variable-w…

Dan Boschen developed this tool for visualizing frequency-domain content of filters using a sum-of-phasors approach.

Someone should update the Lunar Lander page on Wikipedia -- it doesn't mention Thrust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lander_(video_game_genre...

Darn, I meant to link to https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2025-09-11... which is easier to read because of the typeface.

> there has been a library of information on HN by now about how to use agents effectively yes, but where ?

I want it to commit on my behalf, and I don't pay full attention before commits. But I do review every line at the PR level, just as I would if some other human were to submit a PR…

Really interesting article but there's one thing I wanted to point out about the reasons for code review: > If a company were shipping bugs at, say, a hundredth the rate we were at…

Really liked it, and somewhat envious that you were able to create such a well-written, cohesive piece of just about the right length. (I blog on different topics and it's so hard …

That's called a Hobart. https://www.hobartcorp.com/products/commercial-dishwashers I've used these while working as a volunteer in a camp kitchen during work weekends, where we had…
