Based on emerging research showing people can shift their core personality traits, Laurie Clarke tried tweaking hers.

So it wasn't entirely surprising when I scored higher than 85% of people on neuroticism in a personality test I took online.

Then my editor offered me an intriguing assignment: would I like to try tweaking some aspects of my personality, drawing on emerging research from the field of personality change?

The psychological model for personality with the most scientific backing is the "Big Five", which breaks it down into five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

Each is further subdivided into traits, so neuroticism, for example…

Over the last 10 years, I followed a system that allows me to re-experience any specific time of any year.

Empty my liked songs.

During the year, when I listen to my liked songs, I usually start from the top of the stack, without shuffle.

This causes me to listen to a “rolling window” of my liked songs as time passes, linking specific music to specific dates.

To maintain the integrity & not override the memories associated with specific songs, I rarely listen to or re-save songs from the past years.

It got me thinking, what if neurodivergent “defects” are the exact architecture the world’s systems need?

Those traits build stable infrastructure, write clean code, and destroy inefficiencies in systems.

Trait 3: Automation InstinctManual repetitive process can be extremely disruptive and frustrating for neurodivergent employees.

If this becomes the norm though, neurodivergent employees will resent the work.

The remaining 1% of truly human-necessary, non-specialist processes can then be groaned through and completed by neurodivergent employees with an acceptable minimum disruption to their flow.

The guide is for engineers and curious people who use the web every day, but never built a mental model of how browsers work.

I find most guides too technical, too detailed, or too shallow, so I have decided to take a different approach.

I built the guide with many tiny interactive examples you can play with to help you go get through the technical details and build an intuition of how browsers work.

To keep it short and straight to the point, many critical details are omitted like different versions of the HTTP protocol, SSL, TLS, nuances of the DNS, and many more.

Dec 23, 2021Street Fighter II, The World WarrierThis article is part of a series about Street Fighter II and the CPS-1.

Guile palette World Warrier paletteSomething that I omitted to mention earlier is that the palette management is entirely under the 68000 control.

We’re learning about cold-blooded animals, and it turns out that painted turtle hatchlings are pretty special — they’re one of only a few species that can survive being frozen.

You see, warm-blooded animals — like humans or mice — have a stable body temperature that stays within a pretty narrow range.

Cold-blooded animals like the painted turtle can adapt their metabolism to the temperature around them.

A cold-blooded project is like the baby painted turtle.

A cold-blooded project uses boring technology.

When I joined Google ~14 years ago, I thought the job was about writing great code.

The cost shows up later as “mysterious execution issues” and “strange resistance.”The skill isn’t being right.

In that environment, clarity isn’t a style preference - it’s operational risk reduction.

The problem isn’t that engineers can’t write code or use AI to do so.

The answer isn’t “don’t work hard.” It’s “know what you’re trading, and make the trade deliberately.”21.

Wikipedia says “An IBM PC compatible is any personal computer that is hardware- and software-compatible with the IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) and its subsequent models”.

IBM had launched the PC built almost entirely around off-the-shelf Intel components, and shipped full schematics in the IBM PC Technical Reference Manual.

The first 286 PC even introduced a new keyboard controller that supported better keyboards but which remained backwards compatible with the original PC to avoid breaking software.

It’d work fine on an actual PC, and it won’t work here, so are we PC compatible?

The truth is that there’s no way we can technically describe a PC Compatible now - or, honestly, ever.

On the picture above, the FREE_DBI sub-database resides on one page, page 5 (this is the value of the "page pointer" FREE_DBI).

(ethdb.BucketMigrator).CreateBucket(k); err != nil { return false, err } } return true, nil }This code creates 61 empty tables within a single writeable transaction.

Secondly, a lot of freelist records are associated with transaction IDs smaller than 1000001 .

At the same time, it wants to associate each freelist records with the transaction IDs.

If we created the same pictures with un-modified version of LMDB, they would have 2 freelist records in most pictures, instead of one.

📖 tl;dr: With the rise of LSPs, query-based compilers have emerged as a new architecture.

And it turns out that modern compilers are built around the same concept as Signals in UI rendering, with some interesting different design choices.

But it's important to know that compilers typically run code through a bunch of different stages until code can be executed.

Queries, Inputs and the DatabaseQuery-based compilers have three key building blocks: Queries, Inputs and a "Database".

Signals are better for UI rendering, but the query-based system is more appropriate for a compiler.

There was complexity in building web applications, but it was all manageable.

If you had an idea, you could probably build it.

Complexity outgrew my ability to follow#Today, it’s hard to do web development right.

AI really has made web development fun again.

In contrast, regular hash join will only require building 3 hash tables (3n inserts) and probing into them (3n probes).

Now suppose we join with the plan (R_1 \bowtie (R_2 \bowtie (R_3 \bowtie R_4))), meaning to first join R_3 with R_4, then join the result with R_2, and finally with R_1.

On-the-fly semijoinThe plan (R_1 \bowtie (R_2 \bowtie (R_3 \bowtie R_4))) we considered in the previous section is known as a right-deep plan, because if we draw out the operator tree, it goes down to the right.

For our example query, consider the left-deep plan (((R_1 \bowtie R_2) \bowtie R_3) \bowtie R_4), which means we first join together R_1 with R_2, then join the result with R_3, and finally with R_…

AI coding assistants became game-changers in 2025, but harnessing them effectively takes skill and structure.

Leverage AI coding across the lifecycleSupercharge your workflow with coding-specific AI help across the SDLC.

This lets me run multiple AI coding sessions in parallel on the same repo without them interfering, and I can later merge the changes.

I ensure that any repository where I use heavy AI coding has a robust continuous integration setup.

The bottom line for me: AI coding assistants are incredible force multipliers, but the human engineer remains the director of the show.

USB 1 had Low Speed (LS) at 1.5Mb/s and Full Speed (FS) at 12Mb/s, USB 2 added High Speed (HS) 480Mbps, USB 3.0 introduced Super Speed (SS) at 5Gb/s, later versions add faster protocols.

When USB-C was introduced the USB 2 standard was updated to include it, and LS (1.5Mb/s) or FS (12Mb/s) devices with a USB-C connector are considered USB 2, not USB 1.

You’ve probably guessed where this is going: nearly all USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapters use USB FS to communicate.

USB FS streams can only have 80% of the stream isochronous to leave room for other communication types, a limit of 9.6Mb/s.

Every millisecond there are 8 microframes of 125 microseconds, into each microframe it can fit this man…

It also relies on a new feature of macOS Catalina to allow the creation of 32-bit code segments in a 64-bit process.

It maintains a current implicit stack address space, a current implicit storage address space, and a current implicit pointer address space.

If it's in the 64-bit address space, the address is a 64-bit pointer.

So, for example, a Win32 type such as CREATESTRUCTW will be defined in the ptr32 pointer address space, therefore "CREATESTRUCTW *cs" will be a 32-bit pointer.

Another potential source of problems is when casting a pointer type to a smaller integer type or casting an integer type to a smaller pointer type.

The two most conventional parsers are the “per-character” (“real” scannerless, like regexes) and “per-lexeme” parsers (LR/yacc/bison/etc), and for those parsers, this misunderstanding fits.

It’s likely that someone out there dismissed a fast Packrat parser because it looked scannerless, and they know that scannerless parsers are slow, without realizing it might be type 2, which is still fast.

Chunking Earley and scannerless Earley (group 2 and group 1) parse slightly different sets of inputs.

The chunking does some disambiguation up front.

And lexing Earley (group 3) is different from group 2 yet again (because it does even more disambiguation up front).

You also visit some random Silicon Valley startup and buy one of their surplus Aeron chairs, second hand, for $500 (by writing a cheque from the company account).

You pay the $5 credit card bill from the company account.

And where did the money in the company account come from in the first place?

So you received $5,000 + $2,500 in cash from your customers, wired straight the company bank account.

One thing to watch out for: profit doesn’t say anything about your bank account.

The Most Popular Blogs of Hacker News in 2025With 2025 wrapped up, I can finally answer a question I’m curious about every year: who were the most popular bloggers of Hacker News?

In 2025 alone, he wrote over 1,000 blog posts, though only 118 were full-length articles (“only”).

Some of his most popular posts were just short quotes or links with a bit of commentary.

YouTube videos rarely succeed on Hacker News, so when Jeff publishes a new video, he often publishes an accompanying blog post.

Stimulation Clicker was the 4th most popular post of the entire year.

Both of these are fundamental problems with how so-called “single-entry bookkeeping” works: each account’s transactions and balance are tracked individually but without the context of the “whole”.

Assets are stuff you own; these can be real accounts (bank account, savings, stocks, bonds) or conceptual accounts (money in transit between accounts).

So, clearly, retatrutide provides a safer alternative to patient cases where Gen2 and Gen1 medications and supplements are ineffective at producing weight loss.

Liraglutide (Gen1, 2010) achieved 13-hour half-life via fatty acid conjugation—enabling daily dosing and ~8% weight loss.

However, systemic injection for “tissue regeneration”, the number one use case promoted by the peptide enthusiast community, currently lacks human efficacy data.

The enforcement template is consistent: products labeled “RESEARCH USE ONLY” or “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” but marketed with therapeutic claims, dosing protocols, or injection supplies represent “unapproved new drugs” regardless of disclaimer.

A blog post could be three paragraphs or thirty pages.

Social media removed the friction of publishing, and in doing so removed the selection pressure that separated signal from noise.

The Architecture of AttentionWhen you write a blog post, you're creating a standalone document with a permanent URL.

Most social media content has a half-life of hours; a good blog post can draw readers for a decade.

But there are a few things worth noting:Search engines still index blogs far better than social media posts.

Narrowness of mind is something that makes me uneasy about the tech world.

2025 is the year that Chinese tech successes have really blossomed into the wider American consciousness.

It’s cases like these that make me skeptical of reasoning about China’s tech successes through financial measures or productivity ratios.

Chinese tech achievements that were apparent in 2025 were the fruits of investments made a decade ago.

One feature that unites American, Chinese, and European elites is the tendency to close ranks behind bad ideas and bad leaders.

Govee has just launched three new flagship smart home products, along with a convenient Samsung SmartThings integration.

The new Narwal Flow 2 promises strong cleaning power, complemented by high-end AI features.

The new Xreal 1S glasses introduce a few notable upgrades and a launch price that's $50 less than the Xreal One, which was released in December 2024.

This video hub capability is required to use a Nintendo Switch 1 or 2 with XR glasses, due to Nintendo's hardware limitation with the USB-C port.

The Xreal 1S is very similar to the Xreal One Pro with the experiences powered by the Xreal X1 spatial computing chip.

Matthew Miller/ZDNETAs part of the X1 chip, the Xreal 1S is the first pair of Xreal glasses to support Real 3D.

ZDNET's buying adviceXreal continues to impress with its AR glasses, and the Xreal 1S sets a new bar for glasses in the sub-$500 price range.

"The ancient evolution of fish mouths could help solve a modern source of plastic pollution," writes ScienceAlert. "Inspired by these natural filtration systems, scientists in Germany have invented a way to remove 99 percent of plastic particles from water. It's based on how some fish filter-feed to eat microscopic prey." The research team has already filed a patent in Germany, and in the future, they hope their creation will help curb a ubiquitous form of plastic pollution that many are unaware of. Every time a load of laundry is done, millions of microplastics are washed from the fibers of our clothes into local waterways. By some estimates, up to 90 percent of plastic in 'sewage sludge' …

An anonymous reader shared this report from the Independent: Candida auris, a type of invasive yeast that can cause deadly infections in people with weakened immune systems, has infected at least 7,000 people [in 2025] across 27 U.S. states, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The fungus, which can spread easily in healthcare settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, is gaining virulence and spreading at an "alarming" rate, the CDC says. Some strains of the fungus are particularly troublesome — and even considered a superbug — because they're resistant to all types of antibiotics used to treat fungal infections, The Hill reports.

Last June the Trump organization announced sales of a $499 "T1" smartphone with a gold-colored case. But though they originally were scheduled for release in August, this week a customer service representative for the wireless carrier told CBS News the device will be pushed back again, now until the end of January, "attributing the delay to the recent U.S. government shutdown." Some context from The Independent: Shortly after the phone was first announced, language describing it as "Made in the USA" was removed from its official website with the vague claim that the devices are "brought to life" in the United States posted in its place...

The change is part of Archboot's development cycle leading up to the 2026.01 release and is already available in the latest tagged builds. With COSMIC now integrated, users can boot an Archboot ISO and choose the desktop to either perform a full Arch Linux installation or start a live session for testing and recovery.

The Wall Street Journal profiles "the startup that is now one of a handful of chip makers nipping at the heels of Nvidia." Furiosa's AI chip is dubbed "RNGD" — short for renegade — and slated to start mass production this month. Valued at nearly $700 million based on its most recent fundraising, Furiosa has attracted interest from big tech firms. Last year, Meta Platforms attempted to acquire it, though the startup declined the offer. OpenAI used a Furiosa chip for a recent demonstration in Seoul. LG's AI research unit is testing the chip and said it offered "excellent real-world performance." Furiosa said it is engaged in talks with potential customers. Nvidia's graphic processing units, o…

The New York Times checks in on U.S. university researchers and start-ups trying to create domestic rare-earth processing facility: There is too little money to be made in rare earths for the elements to be of much interest to mining giants, so the challenge of reestablishing a domestic industry has fallen to small companies like Phoenix Tailings, a Boston-area startup that runs the metal-making plant in Exeter, New Hampshire. A handful of other companies in the United States are processing rare earths in small quantities, including MP Materials, which owns a mine in Mountain Pass, California, and recently began producing rare-earth metal in Fort Worth, Texas.

An anonymous reader shared this report from Electrek: Tesla has released a new video showing a Tesla Semi truck charging at a massive 1.2 megawatts (MW), finally giving us a clear look at the charging speeds that will enable long-haul electric trucking...> Tesla claimed the Semi would be able to charge 70% of its range in 30 minutes. For a truck with a 500-mile range and an estimated battery pack of around 800-900 kWh, that requires an incredibly high power output, well beyond the 250 kW or even 350 kW we see on passenger EVs in North America. Today, the official Tesla Semi account on X released a video showing exactly that. In the video, Tesla engineers are seen monitoring a charging sessi…

An AI chatbot to answer probate questions from Alaska residents "was supposed to be a three-month project," said Aubrie Souza, a consultant with the National Center for State Courts told NBC News.

The program, initially framed as a nearly $250 million commitment over five years, has secured just $20 million in new money for journ…

In Why your mock doesn’t work I explained this rule of

mocking:Mock where the object is used, not where it’s

defined.That blog post explained why that rule was important: often a mock doesn’t

work at all if you do it wrong. But in some cases, the mock will work even if

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later. Why?Let’s say you have code like this:# user.py def get_user_settings() -> str: with open(Path("~/settings.json").expanduser()) as f: return json.load(f) def add_two_settings() -> int: settings = get_user_settings() return settings["opt1"] + settings["opt2"] You write a simple test:def test_add_two_settings(): # NOTE: need to create ~/settings.json for this to work…

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

from a nice guy named Mark.How to write nice code in researchMark works in research and made the classic observation that research code is

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

I see new learners asking about “DSA” a lot. Data Structures and Algorithms

are of course important: considered broadly, they are the two ingredients that

make up all programs. But in my opinion, “DSA” as an abstract field of study

there are web sites devoted to testing you on it, and most importantly, because

job interviews often involve DSA coding questions.Before I get to other opinions, let me make clear that anything you can do to

help you get a job is a good thing to do. If grinding

There is no denying that European tech sovereignty is in vogue.

Europe’s decarbonisation journey is often told through the lens of renewable generation, smart grids and electric passenger cars. Yet one of the biggest and least transformed sectors is only now shifting gears: heavy-duty road freight. Trucks are the backbone of European logistics and the arteries of modern trade. They are also among the hardest segments […]

Despite decades of progress in medicine, the tools primarily used to access, diagnose, and treat the brain remain limited — until now.

Robeauté is a Paris-based MedTech startup developing a new class of therapeutic microrobots designed to diagnose, treat, and monitor the brain with unprecedented flexibility.

“The carrier contains our core technology,” Cartocci said.

If we don’t feed technology back into public systems, we push them toward the American model — and that’s a failure.”For Cartocci, commercial brain microrobots are closer than they’ve ever been.

We’re also hiring: scientific and technical roles, quality and regulatory roles, US go-to-market roles, and engineering roles.

After a particularly spirited online conversation about whether tech media should still be covering funding rounds, I found myself reflecting on what we actually do — day in, day out — at Tech.eu.

When I do workshops about talking to the media, I often talk about the story behind the news.

Beyond funding, there’s a broader story of the people building tech, backing innovation, and questioning what comes next.

As 2025 draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the features you may have missed this year — the ones that go beyond the headline numbers and into the substance of Europe’s tech moment.

European agritech demonstrated measured resilience and strategic maturity amid a still-cautious investment climate.

Rather than broad, hype-driven expansion, the sector showed clear signs of consolidation, technical depth, and stronger alignment with real on-farm and food-system needs.

More attention went to areas tied to efficiency and sustainability, using fewer inputs, improving animal and crop performance, and strengthening resilience to climate and cost pressures.

Indoor and controlled-environment growing continued to develop, but with a stronger focus on energy use, automation, and making the economics work.

The following are the ten largest funding rounds in the European agritech ind…

UK not "good jurisdiction" to IPOThere has been much chatter this year about whether London has lost its lustre as Europe’s fintech capital.

The market needs a variety of players and SME lending is still flat.

The firm invests broadly across sectors, from the future of compute to industrial and manufacturing applications.

“That’s where we like to help as a transatlantic fund.”Another area where Europe consistently excels is climate software, particularly in energy management and grid orchestration.

“But on the software side, it’s almost the reverse: probably eight or nine were European.”He attributes this to Europe’s more complex and heavily regulated energy markets, which create fertile ground for sophisticated software solutions.

“Orchestrating huge numbers of connected devices — smart meters, heat pumps, storage systems — to balance the grid is something European companies are particularly str…

Dawn Capital’s latest partner, Shamillah Bankiya, stopped by Equity this week to talk about the European landscape and the biggest misconceptions Americans have about the European startup world.

Europe’s startup scene is having a moment, with European unicorns multiplying and American VCs setting up shop across the pond. But while European funding dominates the early stages, late-stage capital still flows primarily from the U.S. So what does this mean for European founders, and how is the continent carving out its own identity in […]
