Comptime.ts: compile-time expressions for TypeScript

⚡️ comptime.ts A dead-simple TypeScript compiler that does one thing really well: enables compile-time evaluation of expressions marked with comptime . This is useful for optimising your code by moving computations from runtime to compile time. This project was inspired by Bun macros and Zig comptime (hence the name). Warning: You are responsible for ensuring that the expressions you mark with comptime are safe to evaluate at compile time. comptime.ts does not perform any isolation. However,

NASA’s new chief has radically rewritten the rules for private space stations

About five years from now, a modified Dragon spacecraft will begin to fire its Draco thrusters, pushing the International Space Station out of its orbit and sending the largest object humans have built in space inexorably to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And then what? China's Tiangong Space Station will still be going strong. NASA, however, faces a serious risk of losing its foothold in low-Earth orbit. Space agency leaders have long recognized this and nearly half a decade ago awarded abo

Coding error blamed after parts of Constitution disappear from US website

The Library of Congress today said a coding error resulted in deletion of parts of the US Constitution from Congress' website and promised a fix after many Internet users pointed out the missing sections this morning. "It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website," the Library of Congress said today. "We've learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and e

Sections on habeas corpus and nobility titles were temporarily removed from Congress' US Constitution website

Key sections of the US Constitution were temporarily removed from Congress' website. Provisions including habeas corpus (due process) and the prohibition of nobility titles (like, say, King) vanished from the digital version of the document. They've since been restored. 404 Media first reported on the edits after users on Lemmy forums spotted them. There are many ways to read a copy of the US Constitution. But the Library of Congress' online version is one of the easiest to find. Alongside its

Key sections of the US Constitution deleted from government’s website

Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website, as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch. The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17. Several Reddit threads identified the changes in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution: large parts of Section 8 have been removed, and Sections 9 and 10 have b

Software Rot

Software rot is generally thought of as degradation of software due to a changing environment. For example, a program written a decade ago may no longer work with new versions of the libraries it depends on because some of them have changed without retaining backwards compatibility. This kind of thinking encourages a culture where software becomes obsolete unless it is constantly maintained. A better approach might be to talk about the reliability of the environment the software depends on. Wou

Trump Administration Moves to Destroy Satellite That Monitors Greenhouse Gases

The Trump Administration’s budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026 would take an axe to NASA science. Two satellite missions on the chopping block have provided climate scientists, oil and gas companies, and farmers with critical atmospheric carbon data for years. The Orbiting Carbon Observatories are a pair of instruments that map atmospheric carbon on a global scale. NASA launched the OCO-2 in 2014 and mounted the OCO-3 on the International Space Station in 2019. Trump’s budget proposal threaten

As a linguist, I want to find the words to measure chronic illness

Heather Hogan / The Sick Times Let me paint a scene that is all too familiar: I’m not feeling well (again), I go to the doctor (again), they take some blood (again; I turn my head away) and poke at me in whatever way my insurance company deems appropriate. The result is a long sheet of seemingly arbitrary numbers that indicate something about my metabolic processes and the resulting sensations, and I leave without much information aside from some variation of: “These tests tell me that your bo

Switch 2 Overheating? Nintendo Just Posted a Warning You Shouldn't Ignore

Nintendo released its Switch 2 almost two months ago, and it sold close to 6 million units, according to the company's latest quarterly report. The new console has had a few hardware issues pop up, but Nintendo did confirm that it does have a bit of a heating problem. In a July 31 post on its X support account, Nintendo advised users to avoid playing the original Switch and the Switch 2 in high temperatures.

I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

You might find it kind of sad to put a hard-earned gadget into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches. So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite

The White House has instructed NASA employees to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health. One is attached to the Internationa

Mozilla Firefox's extension store being flooded with malware

Mozilla is warning of an ongoing phishing campaign targeting developers of Firefox add-ons. The browser maker urged devs to "exercise extreme caution and scrutiny" when reviewing seemingly legitimate emails from senders pretending to be Mozilla or AMO (addons.mozilla.org). Although phishing emails can take many forms, Moz said this campaign usually lures devs into clicking through a malicious link to update their account. Failure to do so, or so the crims claim, would result in the dev losing

Scientists shine a laser through a human head

For the most part, anyone who wants to see what’s going on inside someone else’s brain has to make a tradeoff when it comes to which tools to use. The electroencephalograph (EEG) is cheap and portable, but can’t read much past the outer layers of the brain, while the alternative, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is expensive and the size of a room, but can go deeper. Now, a research group in Glasgow has come up with a mechanism that could one day provide the depth of fMRI using equi

Lightning on Earth is sparked by a powerful chain reaction from outer space

The energy needed for thunderstorms could come from an avalanche of electrons seeded by extraterrestrial cosmic rays , a new study claims. Scientists already knew that lightning is an electrical discharge between thunderclouds and Earth's surface, but exactly how storm clouds obtain an electric field powerful enough to hurl a bolt has remained a mystery for centuries. Now, a new study has used computer models to reveal that lightning strikes as the result of a powerful chain reaction that begi
