If you spend a lot time in a terminal on Linux you’ll have preferred command-line text editor, but Microsoft’s recently announced open-source offering, simply called Edit, might be worth checking out — if only so you know you’re not missing out. Edit is a remake/reboot of the old MS-DOS Editor, updated to suit current sensibilities. Built using Rust, it aims to deliver a user experience that, per its GitHub page, provides “modern interface and input controls similar to VS Code.” Microsoft says

Unexpected security footguns in Go's parsers

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-04 15:35:12

In Go applications, parsing untrusted data creates a dangerous attack surface that’s routinely exploited in the wild. During our security assessments, we’ve repeatedly exploited unexpected behaviors in Go’s JSON, XML, and YAML parsers to bypass authentication, circumvent authorization controls, and exfiltrate sensitive data from production systems. These aren’t theoretical issues—they’ve led to documented vulnerabilities like CVE-2020-16250 (a Hashicorp Vault authentication bypass found by Goog

Verified dynamic programming with Σ-types in Lean

news.ycombinator.com Tanner Duve 2026-03-04 14:28:30

1. Introduction If you’ve taken an algorithms class, you have likely seen dynamic programming, specifically a technique called memoization. Memoization works to optimize recursive algorithms by caching the solutions to subproblems in a table, and when a subproblem is encountered, it queries the table instead of recomputing the solution. This gives us an exponential performance boost. This blog post will show how to solve a dynamic programming problem using memoization in Lean, and verify its c

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR A bug is preventing Windows users from opening Google’s Chrome browser. The bug is connected to Microsoft’s Family Safety feature. There are a few workarounds, like renaming Chrome.exe to Chrome1.exe. Microsoft isn’t afraid to deploy tactics to nudge you away from Chrome.
