Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Meta ran into some spectacularly embarrassing technical issues during the live demos of its new smart glasses this week, and now we know why. Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s chief technology officer, explained in an Instagram AMA why two notable demos — an influencer asking the AI assistant for cooking instructions, and Mark Zuckerberg attempting to pick up a WhatsApp call — failed. “When the chef said ‘hey Meta, s

How to Debug Chez Scheme Programs (2002)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 13:22:47

How to Debug Chez Scheme Programs R. Kent Dybvig August 2002 When a program fails to operate as it should, it is said to have a bug. A bug is the root cause of an observed behavior, such as failure to terminate, failure to perform some action, termination with an error message, or merely producing incorrect results. The process of debugging a program is one of finding all of the bugs and "exterminating" them. This process first requires feeding the program a representative set of test cases,

NT OS Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction Microsoft mitigated many traditional kernel information leaks starting with Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 24H2, including calls such as NtQuerySystemInformation() (when used with the SystemModuleInformation class), by suppressing kernel base addresses unless the caller had the SeDebugPrivilege , typically reserved for administrative processes.

Things you can do with a debugger but not with print debugging

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 21:22:54

Things you can do with a debugger but not with print debugging People do or do not use debuggers for a variety of reasons. For one thing, they are hard to setup in many codebases. Second, you can’t use them when your application is running on remote environments (such as kuberenetes). So, anecdotally, I have seen way more people using Print/ log.Debug compared to a debugger. Which is a shame, because while debug logging is convenient at times, debuggers can do some things which you can’t easil

Look Out for Bugs

Look Out For Bugs One of my biggest mid-career shifts in how I write code was internalizing the idea from this post: Don’t Write Bugs Historically, I approached coding with an iteration-focused mindset — you write a draft version of a program, you set up some kind of a test to verify that it does what you want it to do, and then you just quickly iterate on your draft until the result passes all the checks. This was a great approach when I was only learning to code, as it allowed me to iterate

Yorgos Lanthimos’ New Film Puts Emma Stone at the Center of an Alien Environmentalist Conspiracy

And the trailer for their latest team-up, Bugonia, contains much of the same eclecticism, setting up a paranoia thriller that’s equal parts about environmentalism and extraterrestrials.

Why Pooping on Planes Might Actually Be a Good Thing

Scientists predict that by 2050, AMR superbugs, or pathogens that don’t respond to antimicrobial medicines, might take more lives than cancer. As such, it’s critical for countries to keep an eye on the global propagation of these dangerous pathogens, which can travel with people, in order to best prepare for future infections.
