Spending time outdoors and exploring the beauty of nature can truly be a wonderful experience. But even if you’re a seasoned hiker or cyclist, everyone has their limits when it comes to how much they can push themselves. And when you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, exhausted, with sore legs, and wondering how you’ll get back to camp or your car, the view is probably the last thing on your mind. Thankfully, modern technology is here to lend a hand, in the form of exoskeletons. These slee

Be careful with Go struct embedding

Go has a feature called struct embedding that allows you to compose types. It looks something like this: type Position struct { X int Y int } type Colour struct { R byte G byte B byte } type Rectangle struct { Position Colour Width int Height int } r := Rectangle { } fmt .

Just last week, NASA's Perseverance rover dropped some major news from Mars that has everyone talking. A tiny rock sample, dramatically named "Sapphire Canyon," is showing tantalizing hints of what scientists call biosignatures. In plain English? Potential signs that ancient, alien life might have once existed on the Red Planet. Perseverance snagged this promising sample from a rock in Jezero Crater, which happens to be a dried-up ancient riverbed. The fact that this area was once flush with wa

Pointer Tagging in C++: The Art of Packing Bits into a Pointer

news.ycombinator.com Caden Parker 2025-10-17 01:46:37

A 64-bit pointer can address over 18 exabytes (18 billion gigabytes) of memory, which far exceeds the needs of even the most top-end supercomputers. For this reason, most modern desktop CPUs only use 48 bits for virtual addresses, leaving the upper 16 bits unused. The bottom bits are typically underutilized, too. Most malloc implementations align allocations to 16-byte boundaries, so the bottom four bits are always set to zero. These bottom four bits can be repurposed to store extra data, as lo

With ‘Super Mario Galaxy,’ the Switch 2 Feels More Like the Wii Than Ever

Remember Super Mario Galaxy (not the upcoming movie)? You better. It’s one of those games that came out for Nintendo’s oddest console, the Wii, built for the system with a controller shaped like a TV remote. It was more than innovative for the time. No other game has managed to replicate Galaxy’s complicated gravity simulation. Every jump and leap sends Mario orbiting around a planetoid, the camera barely able to keep up.

Why do some gamers invert their controls?

Five years ago, on the verge of the first Covid lockdown, I wrote an article asking what seemed to be an extremely niche question: why do some people invert their controls when playing 3D games? A majority of players push down on the controller to make their onscreen character look down, and up to make them look up. But there is a sizeable minority who do the opposite, controlling their avatars like a pilot controls a plane, pulling back to go up. For most modern games, this requires going into

Because digital pathology is a relatively new imaging modality compared to radiology and others, there was no established DICOM standard in place.
