Diffsitter – A Tree-sitter based AST difftool to get meaningful semantic diffs

diffsitter Disclaimer diffsitter is very much a work in progress and nowhere close to production ready (yet). Contributions are always welcome! Summary diffsitter creates semantically meaningful diffs that ignore formatting differences like spacing. It does so by computing a diff on the AST (abstract syntax tree) of a file rather than computing the diff on the text contents of the file. diffsitter uses the parsers from the tree-sitter project to parse source code.

Seven Engineers Suspended After $2.3M Bridge Includes 90-Degree Turn

news.ycombinator.com Ashley Fike 2025-09-27 10:10:51

Ever had to make a 90-degree turn on a bridge? No? That’s the problem. In India, seven engineers just got suspended for designing exactly that. A brand-new $2.3 million bridge in Bhopal, India, is going viral—not because it solved traffic, but because it bends at nearly a 90-degree angle. Now, seven engineers have been suspended, a retired official is facing investigation, and the construction firms behind the project have been blacklisted.

Measuring the Impact of AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower. We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI accel

Superman Movies, Ranked

It took about 40 years from Superman first gracing the pages of a comic book to finally getting his own, full-fledged live-action blockbuster. In the 40 years since that, the Man of Steel has appeared on the big screen nine times, if you include this week’s latest iteration by James Gunn. By that math, we may be in for many, many more Superman movies over the next few decades. So, before that does or doesn’t happen, we thought it would be time to put them up against each other.

Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough

Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates the technology’s commercial viability. Keeping a large, or grid-scale, turbine in place in the harsh sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger tidal energy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to the trade association Ocean Energy
