Why did books start being divided into chapters? A new history

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 17:26:35

Perhaps it is the inevitable fate of any convention, but literary history does not, it turns out, have many examples of people appreciating great chaptering. In The History of English Prose Rhythm (1912) – one of the sources for James Joyce’s virtuosic-or-unreadable parodies of the evolution of English prose in Ulysses – George Saintsbury remarks on Thomas Malory’s decision to insert a chapter break at a decisive moment in his fifteenth-century Morte d’Arthur.

Massive Recall Doesn’t Affect 15% Leap in Company Share Price

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-26 17:12:41

The stock price of a company that is in the middle of a major recall still managed to see a 15% gain by the time the market closed Friday. That recall has been issued for nearly 760,000 power tools following reports of explosions and fire hazards. The move is one to watch because some companies in the power washer market are beginning to integrate into their devices.

Why did dlclose not unload the library? (2023)

Recently, at work, we were debugging an issue where dlclose was not unloading the library . You might wonder why that even matters - if your library contains any global symbols, then their state will persist across a dlopen, dlclose sequence. In other words, your library isn’t starting from a clean state every time.

This New iOS 26 Battery Feature Could Extend Your iPhone's Daily Power

I don't know anyone who's satisfied with their phone's battery life. We always want more power so we don't wind up with a tapped-out phone at the end of the day or the need to carry a portable charger everywhere. So I'm very curious to see how Adaptive Power affects iPhone battery life when iOS 26 is released, likely soon after the iPhone 17 is announced at Apple's Sept. 9 fall event.

Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust by Manos Pitsidianakis on 2025-08-25 I was able to write a simple just-in-time compiled emulator for the aarch64 ISA (Arm A-profile A64 Instruction Set Architecture).
