TBM 377: Time Allocation ≠ Capacity Allocation

Before we jump in: September Conferences! I’m heading to Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit in Las Vegas: September 23–25, 2025. I’m a huge fan of Gene Kim’s work and the community he has created.

An Odd Trio of ‘Halloween’ Movies Is Returning to Theaters

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-22 21:00:06

The latest movies to come back to theaters are the Halloween franchise, which makes sense since it’s spooky season. But instead of just the original film or the more recent trilogy, we’re getting three installments that’ve been surprisingly grouped together. Along with the original 1978 Halloween, both Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are also coming back to the big screen. The trio’s cinematic return comes courtesy of Trancas International

Hundreds of Google AI Workers Were Fired Amid Fight Over Working Conditions

wired.com Varsha Bansal 2025-09-30 21:42:59

More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month. The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED. In the past few years, Google has outsourced its AI rating work—which includes evaluating, editing, or rewriting the Gemini chatbot’s response to make it sound more human and “intelligent”—to thousands of contractors empl

Ask HN: Good resources for DIY-ish animatronic kits for Halloween?

Does anyone know of good resources to make your own animatronic Halloween displays? I'm a software engineer, and not skilled in hardware per se. I would love to make some things together with my kids. For reference, they are 8, 10, 12 and VERY smart and they use Ubuntu as their desktop computers and can use flatpak from the command line. Not that I am bragging.... And, I would love to NOT spent $400 on just a single ridiculous junky thing from Lowes, and do that for multiple things. My budget

Contracts for C

news.ycombinator.com Jens Gustedt 2025-10-07 03:36:49

C++ seems to finally converge with their contracts proposal, https://wg21.link/p2900. I decided to give it a try and come up with ideas how such a thing would look for C. This is in early stages, not a full proposal yet, and still would need implementation by some of the major compilers. In particular, the C++ feature is full of sidetracks that I don’t like at all, such as user-defined global handlers and ignorability. But there is a core of ideas, syntax and semantics that I found interesting

Indices, not Pointers

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 20:21:30

Indices, not Pointers There is a pattern I’ve learned while using Zig which I’ve never seen used in any other language. It’s an extremely simple trick which - when applied to a data structure - reduces memory usage, reduces memory allocations, speeds up accesses, makes freeing instantaneous, and generally makes everything much, much faster. The trick is to use indices, not pointers. This is something I learned from a talk by Andrew Kelley (Zig’s creator) on data-oriented design. It’s used in Z
