rzzzt··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
Now I'd genuinely like to know whether "yes" had a CVE assigned, not sure how to search for it though...

rzzzt··on Revision Demoparty 2026: Razor1911 [video]
Neither the NES nor the SID employs FM synthesis. I'm not even sure what the collective noun is for these. Wikipedia tells me it's PSG (programmable sound generator).

The same behavior could be (also was) teased out of a MOD player if you choose samples with a handful of sample points, like 12. You could also draw up a sawtooth in paint and use that as a sample. These are down-to-earth honest true Scotsman chiptunes.

rzzzt··on Your File System Is Already A Graph Database
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as a database, is in fact a database management system, or as I've recently taken to calling it, database plus management system.
rzzzt··on LÖVE: 2D Game Framework for Lua
I am fairly certain it's a case of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut
rzzzt··on How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?
I agree, this looks like ~4 products expanded for comedic purposes: GitHub, Windows, Office (M365) and Azure has a thing that can be used for many things.

It also flashes white for a brief moment and you can hear a faint chi-wii sound.
rzzzt··on Simple self-distillation improves code generation
Cringeworthily parallel, not even serial
rzzzt··on Artemis II's toilet is a moon mission milestone
4th prime directive, remains classified until an executive of OCP reveals it to them.
rzzzt··on Learn Claude Code by doing, not reading
Why do I need to tell the machine to compact its context? This feels like homework and/or ceremony.
rzzzt··on Make macOS consistently bad unironically
The footnotes appear to the left of the main body of text around the position they appear in (viewing in a desktop browser). The article has grown a third note in the meantime and these are all visible now.
rzzzt··on Make macOS consistently bad unironically
"Arguable, since you just loose security over /root, which is not a big deal if someone already gained access to your machine, at least for me."

It doesn't render for me either, but is in the HTML at path...

Edit: SIP has a series of control bits for a diverse set of protections. You can see what these control (and which bits "csrutil disable" toggles) in this include file: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/f6217f89...

rzzzt··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
I'm often having trouble with figuring out in advance what the end result will be when processing an input array: an array of mapped objects or a series of self-contained JSON objects? Why? Which one is better? What if I would like to filter out some of the elements as part of the operation?
rzzzt··on IBM, sonic delay lines, and the history of the 80×24 display (2019)
Meanwhile the LP crowd was flipping sides like it was Ultima VIII (slight exaggeration). Why would it be critical for a new format to do away with multi-disc releases if the customer base has already grown accustomed to them?

rzzzt··on Universal vaccine against respiratory infections and allergens
Me neither, but I got something similar from the abstract that I was about to ask, so adding it here: "Following infection, vaccinated mice mounted rapid pathogen-specific T cell and antibody responses and formed ectopic lymphoid structures in the lung."

That latter term (ectopic lymphoid structure) comes up in connection with persistent inflammation where the immune system sets up camp near the problem point. Is this good or bad? Do these go away once the infection clears up?

rzzzt··on Why can't you tune your guitar? (2019)
I always thought it's an optimization problem: the headstock is pulled by the strings towards the guitar's body, and whenever you get one string in tune, the change in (the distribution of) force changes the tuning of all other strings as well. So ideally they should be moved into an acceptable configuration collectively. People with six hands should be able to do it.
rzzzt··on Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning
Use an agent to summarize and generate reproducers for each report, another to select issues to be fixed in the next iteration, a third one to implement changes, a fourth for code review...
rzzzt··on How to talk to anyone and why you should
"Someday - and that day may never come" - they will be asking for something. Now you are on talking terms and it will be harder to refuse the ask, compared to the request of a complete stranger.
rzzzt··on New accounts on HN more likely to use em-dashes
I'm sort of buying and not buying this interpretation. Celsius is discussed under section "Unit symbols" in the PDF (page 8-9 of the linked Chapter 22), where the quoted "it is better" sentence appears...

...then immediately afterwards a new section named "Compatibility" starts where the use of code points that are composites of several letters, e.g. ℡ and ℻ are indeed discouraged, suggesting they be spelled out in full as TEL and FAX instead.

Do you feel ℃ falls into a continuation/overlap between these two sections?

rzzzt··on Emulated Windows 3.11 in the Browser
shell32.dll is unfortunately modernized on modern versions of Windows, with very few exceptions :( the Novell tree is still there.

Indeed. But the area conversion tool appeared first when I went looking for it.
