I designed my own fast game streaming video codec

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-27 14:01:26

Streaming gameplay from one machine to another over a network is a reasonably popular use case these days. These use cases demand very, very low latency. Every millisecond counts here. We need to: Send controller input from machine A to B over network B renders a frame on the GPU B encodes the frame into a bitstream B sends the result over a network to A A decodes the bitstream A displays image on screen Dopamine is released in target brain Every step in this chain adds latency and we wa

Software Development at 800 Words per Minute

Software Development at 800 Words Per Minute Jul 24, 2025, 12:19 AM (updated Jul 28, 2025, 10:18 PM ) Imagine reading code not by looking at the screen, but by listening to interface elements, variables, language constructs and operators read at 800 words per minute (WPM) - over 5 times faster than normal speech. It sounds like gibberish to most, but to me, it’s as natural as you reading this sentence. If you’ve ever wondered how someone codes without seeing the screen, or if you’re curious a

Amazon's AI coding assistant exposed nearly 1 million users to potential system wipe

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-28 16:03:00

A hot potato: Earlier this month, a hacker compromised Amazon's generative AI coding assistant, Amazon Q, which is widely used through its Visual Studio Code extension. The breach wasn't just a technical slip, rather it exposed critical flaws in how AI tools are integrated into software development pipelines. It's a moment of reckoning for the developer community, and one Amazon can't afford to ignore. The attacker was able to inject unauthorized code into the assistant's open-source GitHub rep

Why MIT switched from Scheme to Python (2009)

Costanza asked Sussman why MIT had switched away from Scheme for their introductory programming course, 6.001. This was a gem. He said that the reason that happened was because engineering in 1980 was not what it was in the mid-90s or in 2000. In 1980, good programmers spent a lot of time thinking, and then produced spare code that they thought should work. Code ran close to the metal, even Scheme — it was understandable all the way down.

Optimizations That Aren't

Optimizations that aren't We all like it when our code is fast. Some of us like the result, but dislike the process of optimization; others enjoy the process. However, optimization for the sake of optimization is wrong, unless you’re doing it in your pet project. Optimized code is sometimes less readable and, consequently, harder to understand and modify; because of that, optimization often introduces subtle bugs. Since optimization is not a process with only positive effects, in production it
