Meta-analysis of three different notions of software complexity

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-11 16:54:45

A meta-analysis of three different notions of software complexity I want to discuss three different notions of software complexity: Rich Hickey’s notion of complexity, as explained in his talk Simple Made Easy. John Ousterhout’s notion of complexity, as explained in his book A Philosophy of Software Design. Zach Tellman’s notion of complexity, as explained in his newsletter Explaining Software Design. I’ve picked these three because I’ve found them to be at least somewhat coherent, and the

The Space Station Leak Is Rearing Its Ugly Head Again

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-12 15:15:21

Space Draft Space tourism company Axiom Space has had to postpone its fourth chartered SpaceX flight to the International Space Station after NASA announced it needs more time to investigate an air leak affecting the orbital lab. For five years, NASA and its Russian counterpart Roscosmos have been hunting down leaks in the station, which has been continuously occupied for 25 years. The issue has since been traced back to the Russian segment of the ISS, specifically the Zvezda service module, a

Whatever Happened to Sandboxfs?

news.ycombinator.com Julio Merino 2026-03-10 17:37:09

Back in 2017–2020, while I was on the Blaze team at Google, I took on a 20% project that turned into a bit of an obsession: sandboxfs. Born out of my work supporting iOS development, it was my attempt to solve a persistent pain point that frustrated both internal teams and external users alike: Bazel’s poor sandboxing performance on macOS. sandboxfs was a user-space file system designed to efficiently create virtual file hierarchies backed by real files—a faster alternative to the “symlink fore

Paid proxy servers vs free proxies: Is paying for a proxy service worth it?

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2026-03-13 23:01:08

marian / Getty Images Proxy servers are the middlemen of cyberspace. Acting as gateways between our devices and the Internet, proxy servers are used by businesses and individuals worldwide for a variety of tasks. While proxy servers were once almost exclusively used by companies to redistribute traffic and load or for caching purposes, they now offer a degree of online anonymity for individuals. Requests you make are first sent to the proxy and then forwarded -- and this process assigns you a

9 Best 2-in-1 Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-03-14 07:30:00

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop. Think of this as a touchscreen clamshell laptop with a fancy hinge. The flexibility

Tesla's Robotaxi Launch Date Was Supposed to Be Today, But We're Shocked to Hear That It's Been Pushed Back

The launch of Tesla's robotaxi network will have to wait. On Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk made a tweet stating that, "tentatively," the first public rides on its autonomous vehicles — which will not be in its purpose-built Cybercabs, but in regular Teslas with updated software — will start on June 22. But the date could shift, Musk added, because "we are being super paranoid about safety." That comment could prove to be revealing.
