Fil-C vs Rust discussions are really tiring. To me they have different use-cases. Like if you want your C program to be more secure (at the cost of performance) then Fil-C is likely a great choice. Instead of rewriting sudo in Rust it might be the way to, but Fil-C is currently…
Apple and Microsoft will silently start using Fil-C and ship Fil-C compiled applications (perhaps they'll even contribute the missing macOS and Windows support), while Linux people and everyone else will continue to hate on it Twitter and other social platforms.
Why’s C# always formatted like you’re getting paid per line
My son, learning Lua in Roblox Studio, doesn’t call functions. He told me he summons them! 🪄
notes on C interoperability of Zig pointers, arrays, and slices .. Zig is explicitly designed as a better C (some say a rebellious C cousin), with its memory model, pointers, arrays and slices engineered for zero-overhead and ABI-compatible interoperation with C. This means no…
Turns out Apple's M5 also has memory tagging. Excellent! Well, I guess I need to get one of those, in addition to a new iPhone... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=457110…
A penetration tester got root access to our Kubernetes cluster in 15 minutes. Here's what they exploited. The attack chain: - Found exposed Kubernetes dashboard (our bad) - Dashboard had view-only service account (we thought this was safe) - Service account could list secrets…
Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @jorandirkgreef. tigerbeetle.com/blog/2025-10-2…
I like to doodle as I explain things. I always end up doodling something like this on paper every time someone asked me about how to start a project/build a game studio. So I thought sharing this as an infographic might be useful for aspiring indie gamedevs out there.
Reading the AWS postmortem, and the HN reaction to it, and: I will never stop evangelizing this, the most brain-altering piece of writing I've encountered. howcomplexsystems.fail

We don’t “let employees go”. We terminate their employment. It’s important to own these decisions and call a spade a spade. Also, don’t say it’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done, even if it’s how you feel. It’s always worse for the employee.
Had to let an employee go yesterday. A single mother who was a solid worker. Top 5 hardest thing I’ve ever done. Easily the worst part of business ownership.
Sounds like a durable queue. Which is a fairly well known tool in the software engineer toolbox. I don’t see what’s particularly new or original here.
We just shipped a massive latency improvement in a critical Vercel API endpoint. One weird "trick" I've found again and again through my engineering career: move things *out* of the critical path. The issue is that it's been hard to do this reliably. 𝚠𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚄𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚕 is not…
Stacked diffs would be absolutely epic. If you have experienced using them, then you’ll understand their importance and impact when working in teams/monorepos
