THE AMSTERDAM COMPILER KIT V6.2+ ================================ © 1987-2005 Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam 2025-04-17 INTRODUCTION ============ The Amsterdam Compiler Kit is a complete compiler toolchain consisting of front end compilers for a number of different languages, code generators, support libraries, and all the tools necessary to go from source code to executable on any of the platforms it supports.

SUPPORT ======= Languages: ANSI C, Pascal, Modula 2, Basic.

K&R is supported via the ANSI C compiler.

Requirements: - an ANSI C compiler.

- The library support is fairly limited; for C, it's at roughly the ANSI C level, and for the other languages it's similar.

A moderator on diyAudio set up an experiment to determine whether listeners could differentiate between audio run through pro audio copper wire, a banana, and wet mud.

Initial test results showed that it’s extremely difficult for listeners to correctly pick out which audio track used which wiring setup.

The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't," Pano said.

(Image credit: Pano/diyAudio)This is quite surprising, especially as we often don’t think of bananas, or even wet mud, as great conductors.

This got them thinking that if you could send telegraphy signals across the ground, what would an audio signal using the same medium sound like?

This equates to a Blue-Ray disc, single sided.

Besides physical damage, failure of the reflective layer, followed closely by degradation of the data layer, are the primary failure modes of all optically recordable disks.

Ritek produces M-DISC Blu-ray disc media, sold under the Imation, Ritek and M-DISC brands.

The sunlight has generated temperatures greater than the silver data layer to withstand, causing it to crack, expand and break off the substrate.

There were still stains on the disc (lower right) so I cleaned the disc again with kitchen towel and white spirit.

Pressure is mounting on tech companies to shield users from unlawful government requests that advocates say are making it harder to reliably share information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) online.

Alleging that ICE officers are being doxed or otherwise endangered, Trump officials have spent the last year targeting an unknown number of users and platforms with demands to censor content.

Early lawsuits show that platforms have caved, even though experts say they could refuse these demands without a court order.

That leaves community members who monitor ICE in a precarious situation, as critical resources could disappear at the department’s request with no warning.

My smart sleep mask broadcasts users' brainwaves to an open MQTT broker12 Feb, 2026I recently got a smart sleep mask from Kickstarter.

I was not expecting to end up with the ability to read strangers' brainwaves and send them electric impulses in their sleep.

The mask was from a small Chinese research company, very cool hardware -- EEG brain monitoring, electrical muscle stimulation around the eyes, vibration, heating, audio.

While poking around, Claude tried using them to connect to the company's MQTT broker -- MQTT is a pub/sub messaging system standard in IoT, where devices publish sensor readings and subscribe to commands.

Since every device shares the same credentials and the same brok…

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reportedly been asking tech companies for information on accounts posting anti-ICE sentiments.

According to The New York Times, DHS has sent hundreds of administrative subpoenas to Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta over the past few months.

Google, Meta and Reddit have complied with some of the requestsAdministrative subpoenas are different from warrants and are issued by the DHS.

The DHS asked Meta for their names and details on September 11, and the users were notified about it on October 3.

In late January, Meta started blocking links to ICE List, a website that lists thousands of ICE and Border Patrol agents’ names.

Following a YouTube tutorial for a new build, they were instructed to download 7‑Zip from 7zip[.

Functional goal: residential proxy monetizationWhile initial indicators suggested backdoor‑style capabilities, further analysis revealed that the malware’s primary function is proxyware.

The infected host is enrolled as a residential proxy node, allowing third parties to route traffic through the victim’s IP address.

This infrastructure is consistent with known residential proxy services, where access to real consumer IP addresses is sold for fraud, scraping, ad abuse, or anonymity laundering.

Andrew Danis contributed additional infrastructure analysis and clustering, helping tie the fake 7-Zip …

well okay, Sam: You Should Build Slack.

Slack rejected developer community and went upmarket in 2019, then Salesforce bought it for $27.7B in 2021, and ever since then Slack has been on a slow rachet up in prices and has struggled to introduce compelling new AI features (Slack AI is occasionally useful but impossible to discover/learn/personalize) while facing constant outages.

Slack users complain about channel fatigue and find the Recap tooling and notifications spam woefully inadequate.

By contrast, OpenAI has shipped the org chart to every user’s desktop: get our chat app here, get our browser app here, get our coding app there.

“OpenAI Slack” is your chance to retake the initiative.

From this, we can start to paint a picture on how we should get to our font shape information.

TTF glyphs are comprised of a series of contours, which themselves are described as a series of quadratic Bezier curves.

Moving back up the chain, these curves are combined to form contours, which are combined to form the overall glyph shape.

For each pixel in the SDF target bitmap, we need to determine which pixel is closest in the raw bitmap.

For every pixel in the target SDF bitmap, determine the closest distance to a pixel of the opposite state in the raw glyph bitmap.

Here's my submission: not one blog post, but two that rhyme.

One argues that AI pulls humans towards working like a tornado; the other reports that the author felt pushed to act more strategically because their genAI tools were crowding them out of out the fast-at-all-costs niche.

The contrasting pair is my submission.

'Tactical tornado' is a term John Ousterhout introduced in A Philosophy of Software Design.

I'll summarise it as 'programmer who is fast and leaves a mess; the speed earns them external regard, all while the mess causes problems for others and the future'.

As of October 2025, the All About Birds database had grouped over 700 species into 76 general “types” of birds.

Often, this happens after a particular encounter with a very special bird — a so-called “spark bird.” A spark bird is the catalyst to wanting to discover more.

Birds with measurable Google search interest Solid | Popular across the US Striped | Popular in at least one stateThe colorful areas of the egg spotlight the birds that pique our interest.

Northern Cardinal is the second most searched species in the U.S. and the top searched species in 16 states.

From this, we can start to paint a picture on how we should get to our font shape information.

TTF glyphs are comprised of a series of contours, which themselves are described as a series of quadratic Bezier curves.

Moving back up the chain, these curves are combined to form contours, which are combined to form the overall glyph shape.

For each pixel in the SDF target bitmap, we need to determine which pixel is closest in the raw bitmap.

For every pixel in the target SDF bitmap, determine the closest distance to a pixel of the opposite state in the raw glyph bitmap.

Today, we’re releasing a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think, our specialized reasoning mode, built to push the frontier of intelligence and solve modern challenges across science, research, and engineering.

We updated Gemini 3 Deep Think in close partnership with scientists and researchers to tackle tough research challenges — where problems often lack clear guardrails or a single correct solution and data is often messy or incomplete.

By blending deep scientific knowledge with everyday engineering utility, Deep Think moves beyond abstract theory to drive practical applications.

The new Deep Think is now available in the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers and, for the first time, …

(ai; didn't read)For me, writing is the most direct window into how someone thinks, perceives, and groks the world.

Before you get your pitchforks out....and call me an AI luddite, I use LLMs pretty extensively for work.

I can't imaging writing code by myself again, specially documentation, tests and most scaffolding.

I'm having a hard time articulating this but AI-generated code feels like progress and efficiency, while AI-generated articles and posts feel low-effort and make the dead internet theory harder to dismiss.

But eh, broken English and a lack of capitalization is now just a simple skill away so does it even matter?

The daily podcast round-up is just one way the Times is adopting in-house AI transcription and summarization tools.

On February 1, Robert Tinney, the illustrator whose airbrushed cover paintings defined the look and feel of pioneering computer magazine Byte for over a decade, died at age 78 in Baker, Louisiana, according to a memorial posted on his official website.

Tinney went on to paint more than 80 covers for Byte, working almost entirely in airbrushed Designers Gouache, a medium he chose for its opaque, intense colors and smooth finish.

His connection to Byte came through a chance meeting with Carl Helmers, who would later found the magazine.

Over time, his covers became so popular that he created limited-edition signed prints that he sold on his website for decades.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition ZDNET's key takeaways The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is available for $200.

I've been testing the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which has the fastest performance yet, and up to 12 weeks of battery life.

Then I tried the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, and I'm not sure I can give it up.

Kindle e-readers are built to last several years, so I'd recommend the Kindle Paperwhite to anyone upgrading from a three-year or older Kindle.

I typically use my Kindle devices for six years, but I could see the latest Kindle Paperwhite lasting eight years or longer, making the purchase even more worthwhile.

This is where solid-state cells come into play.

This 5,000mAh/19Wh wireless charging power bank is perfectly designed to fit the iPhone.

The BMX SolidSafe 5K is a nice, light, unobtrusive wireless power bank.

The power bank also supports pass-through charging, so it can be charged via USB-C while it's wirelessly charging a phone.

I like this feature because I can use a single-outlet charger when traveling light to charge both my iPhone and my power bank overnight.

Big sales are a great time to save on daily essentials. Here's what I'm eyeing, from beauty buys to home appliances.

Unlike many other popular Linux desktop distros, Mint has no corporate backing.

None of this adds up to a flashy reinvention of Linux Mint.

Meta Oakley HSTN Smart Glasses ZDNET's key takeaways The latest smart glasses by Meta are on sale for $339 (or $407 for Transitions lenses) at Best Buy.

They feature an enhanced design optimized for outdoor use, have upgraded camera resolution, and better battery life.

Telecom operators planning aggressive fiber and fixed wireless broadband rollouts in 2026 face a serious supply problem -- DRAM and NAND memory prices for consumer applications have surged more than 600% over the past year as higher-margin AI server segments absorb available capacity, according to Counterpoint Research. Routers, gateways and set-top boxes have been hit hardest, far worse than smartphones; prices for "consumer memory" used in broadband equipment jumped nearly 7x over the last nine months, compared to 3x for mobile memory. Memory now makes up more than 20% of the bill of materials in low-to-mid-end routers, up from around 3% a year ago. Counterpoint expects prices to keep ris…

Anna's Archive, the shadow library that announced last December it had scraped Spotify's entire catalog, has quietly begun distributing the actual music files despite a federal preliminary injunction signed by Judge Jed Rakoff on January 16 that explicitly barred the site from hosting or distributing the copyrighted works. The site's backend torrent index now lists 47 new torrents added on February 8, containing roughly 2.8 million tracks across approximately 6 terabytes of audio data. Anna's Archive had previously released only Spotify metadata -- about 200 GB compressed -- and appeared to comply by removing its dedicated Spotify download section and marking it "unavailable until further n…

The Detroit Big Three -- General Motors, Ford and Stellantis -- have collectively announced more than $50 billion in write-downs on their electric-vehicle businesses after years of aggressive investment into a transition that, even before Republican lawmakers abolished a $7,500 federal tax credit last fall, was already running below expectations. U.S. EV sales fell more than 30% in the fourth quarter of 2025 once the credit expired in September, and Congress also eliminated federal fuel-efficiency mandates. More than $20 billion in previously announced investments in EV and battery facilities were canceled last year -- the first net annual decrease in years, according to Atlas Public Policy…

Meta was granted a patent in late December that describes how a large language model could be trained on a deceased user's historical activity -- their comments, likes, and posted content -- to keep their social media accounts active after they're gone. Andrew Bosworth, Meta's CTO, is listed as the primary author of the patent, first filed in 2023. The AI clone could like and comment on posts, respond to DMs, and even simulate video or audio calls on the user's behalf. A Meta spokesperson told Business Insider the company has "no plans to move forward" with the technology. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Europe risks undermining its own competitiveness drive by restricting access to foreign technology, Google's president of global affairs and chief legal officer Kent Walker told the Financial Times, as Brussels accelerates efforts to reduce reliance on U.S. tech giants. Walker said the EU faces a "competitive paradox" as it seeks to spur growth while restricting the technologies needed to achieve that goal. He warned against erecting walls that make it harder to use some of the best technology in the world, especially as it advances quickly. EU leaders gathered Thursday for a summit in Belgium focused on increasing European competitiveness in a more volatile global economy. Europe's digital…

Spotify's best developers have stopped writing code manually since December and now rely on an internal AI system called Honk that enables remote, real-time code deployment through Claude Code, the company's co-CEO Gustav Soderstrom said during a fourth-quarter earnings call this week. Engineers can fix bugs or add features to the iOS app from Slack on their phones during their morning commute and receive a new version of the app pushed to Slack before arriving at the office.

Two testing-related things I found recently.Unified exception testingKacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception

testing, and linked to pytest docs and a

StackOverflow answer with similar approaches.The common way to test exceptions is to use

pytest.raises as a context manager, and have

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

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”…

Last night was a Boston Python project night where I

had a good conversation with a few people that was mostly guided by questions

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

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …

Decreasing transportation and communications costs increases resiliency in theory, but destroys it in practice. The only way to have resiliency is through less efficiency.

For a few centuries after the establishment of Santiago in 1541, the lowlands to the east of the city center were largely rural and used for agriculture. That included the area now known as Los Dominicos, which, over a couple of centuries, was part of an encomienda owned by several wealthy families.

In 1803, however, the last owner of the encomienda, an Irish immigrant named Don Juan Cranisbro (but originally named Gainsborough), donated the land and the structures on the land, including his house and a chapel built in memory of his two deceased children, to the Dominican Order. After this, the area would gain the name of Los Dominicos. The priests would go on to not only make use of the ch…

Walk into Barney’s Beanery and it feels like you have stepped into several decades at once. The walls are packed with license plates, vintage signs, photos, and enough visual noise to make the jukebox seem almost unnecessary. This is not minimalist West Hollywood. This is maximalist history, served with chili and a beer.

Open at this location since 1927, Barney’s was a popular stop for travelers coming west along the historic Route 66, which ends not far from here. And the place has long been a crossroads for Los Angeles characters. Over the years, the bar has been associated with a dizzying list of musicians, actors, and writers, some drawn by its late hours, others by its refusal to chase…

"How did they poop?" is perhaps one of the less appealing yet inevitable questions one might ask about the Middle Ages. Sanitation was primitive compared to today, with many people using chamber pots that were dumped outside. Castles tended to have proper bathrooms with fixed toilets, known as garderobes. They generally emptied into cesspits or moats far below.

However, a particularly unique kind of garderobe can be found only in a relatively small area of modern-day Poland. The dansker is a tower perched over a stream or running water. Detached from the castle, they require crossing a bridge to reach, surely an inconvenience for anyone wishing to relive themself! On the positive side, thei…

Looking out across the Cape Peninsula, a dark shape breaks the surface. This iron remnant is part of the engine block of the Royal Mail Ship Athens, lost here in the year 1865. In early May that same year, Table Bay lay under an uneasy calm. Warm days and light winds settled over the anchorage, tempting captains into a confidence. The small-boat men of Cape Town, however, who knew the moods of this coast, felt something else in the air. They recognised the stillness not as peace, but as a warning of disaster in its approach.

On 15 May, the wind turned, backing hard to the northwest. By the following morning the sea had risen into steep, driving waves. Ships strained at their anchors. Distre…

This is the largest pushpin in the world. Certified by Guinness World Records in October 2024, the structure measures 21 feet and 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 3,000 pounds.

This tack, over 250 times the size of a regular tack, is in front of the Transit Authority of Central Kentucky (or TACK). It surpasses the previous record holder by almost 2 feet. T

he pin was built by TACK employees over 18 months to represent the organization’s name. It now serves as a landmark for the Transit Authority and joins the world's largest pocketknife as the 2nd largest thing in the world in Hardin County, Kentucky!

Maconaquah had a decision to make. She could continue the life she had known for over 58 years, or return to civilization with her siblings.

Born in Rhode Island in 1773 as Frances Slocum, she was captured by Delaware Indians in November 1778 from her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She was taken west by the Delaware into what would later become the states of Ohio and Indiana. She married a Delaware Indian who mistreated her, and after leaving him, she returned to her parents. While living with them, she encountered a Miami Indian man named Shepocanah, who had been wounded in battle. Shepocanah was nursed back to health, and before his death, Frances’s father gave both Frances and her m…

Reverend Lowery Allen McGrew and his wife Clara moved to Sierra Leone in 1896 to serve as missionaries under the aegis of the Woman’s Missionary Board, a protestant missionary association. Both originally from Ohio, the Reverend and Mrs. McGrew settled in Taiama in an outpost of a larger missionary station in Rotifunk. Sierra Leone had been a particular interest for American missionaries since the revolt on The Amistad, which saw the enslaved persons that had survived through their subsequent time in Connecticut returned to Sierra Leone.

The year 1896 also saw the British establish a Protectorate of Sierra Leone, expanding the borders of their century-old colony in Freetown over the hinterl…

Who would think that the last emperor of France, Napoleon III, had found his way to a quiet town in England? Well, following his passing and then his son's death in the Zulu War, his wife Eugene bought a house and came to live in Farnborough. She had an abbey built, complete with the church and Imperial Mausoleum, where the family are at rest. With the gothic styling of the buildings, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in France! The church and crypt have been extensively refurbished, Sunday Mass being shared on the abbey's Youtube channel, albeit without the aroma of the incense. Today, the abbey is home to a small Benedictine community whose spiritual life is supported by their guest…

It’s easy to miss the two piles of stone rubble in Prairie Moraine County Park. The only clue that there’s something unusual here is a sign saying, “Historical Site.”

A house for leprosy sufferers once stood here. It was built in 1896 for a resident of the nearby County Poor House, a Norwegian immigrant named Thomas. At this time, there was no cure for leprosy and treatment involved isolation. Thomas was probably the only resident of the house and, after his death in 1902, the house rapidly deteriorated.

Despite the fear of leprosy at the time, it was apparently common for Thomas to have visitors and guests. These included those bringing food and supplies, local farmers paying social calls …

Standing tall against the vast prairie sky, this wooden giant serves as a rare survivor from a time when these structures defined the skyline of every railway town. For decades, it was the beating heart of the local economy where farmers gathered to offload their harvest and connect with their neighbors. Today it remains a powerful monument to the grit that built the province, preserving the legacy of the wheat trade for a new generation.

Home to a nuclear-blasted replica of a typical American town and the country’s largest manmade crater, the Nevada National Security Site is a haven for atomic history buffs. Formerly known as the Nevada Test Site, this area—spanning 1,350 square miles just an hour northwest of Las Vegas—was home to 928 nuclear detonation tests between 1951 and 1992.

The Nevada National Security Site remains active as a research facility to this day, but tours departing from the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas offer an up-close look at nuclear history for visitors who pass the required background checks. Tours of the site are a full-day affair, covering almost 250 miles on site by chartered bus.

Nestled on the banks of the Nile River, the Crocodile Museum in Kom Ombo, Egypt, stands as a testament to the ancient fascination with one of the world's most formidable creatures—the crocodile. This unique institution provides visitors with a captivating journey through time, offering a glimpse into the sacred and mysterious world of crocodiles in ancient Egyptian culture.

The Crocodile Museum, situated near the renowned Kom-Ombo Temple, houses a remarkable collection of artifacts, statues, and mummified remains of crocodiles that were once revered by the ancient Egyptians. These formidable reptiles were not merely seen as creatures of the Nile; they held deep religious significance, embod…

Located near Maksimir Park, Cat Caffe Zagreb is a cozy retreat and home to over a dozen rescued cats that roam freely through its interior and outdoor terrace. As the first cat cafe in Croatia, it stands out for its deep dedication to feline welfare, where all "resident hosts" are adopted from local shelters.

The experience is uniquely playful, featuring an original drink menu with options like glitter-infused coffees and "caticorn" hot chocolates, many of which are named after the cats themselves. Beyond the beverages, the interior is a "catified" jungle with custom-built ceiling walkways, bridges, and tunnels designed to give the cats a secure, elevated playground.
