Extending Emacs with Fennel (2024)

After watching this year’s EmacsConf and seeing Guile Emacs being resurrected I thought to myself - why limit ourselves to Guile? Sure, Guile isn’t just a Scheme implementation, thanks to its compiler-tower-based design. Other languages exist for Guile VM, such as Emacs Lisp, and Guile manual lists the following languages with various stages of completeness: ECMAScript Brainfuck Lua Ruby Python Sure, it would be nice, if Emacs could natively run all of these, but we have to understand, tha

iOS 26 beta 4 has just been released, and one of the biggest question on many testers’ minds has been answered. After dialing back its redesign in beta 3, Apple has now infused more ‘liquid’ into the Liquid Glass design once again. New iOS 26 beta offers refined Liquid Glass look In iOS 26 beta 3, Apple scaled back the ‘liquid’ in Liquid Glass, leading many to refer to it as ‘Frosted Glass’ instead.

It's Wise to Wash All Produce, but These 12 Fruits and Veggies Are the Dirtiest

Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out. According to the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, over 99% of tested foods were well within the EPA's safety limits -- and more than a quarter didn't have a speck of pesticide residue.

Superman Saving a Squirrel Was Cut Out of the Movie, but James Gunn Put It Back In

There are plenty of weird and unexpected moments in James Gunn’s Superman, but one of the most unexpected has to be when he saves a squirrel in the middle of a giant battle. Not a human, not a group of animals, but a single, solitary squirrel. It speaks to the character’s kindness and respect for all life in a fun, quirky way, but apparently not everyone liked it. “It was probably the second- or third-most hotly debated moment in the movie,” Gunn said in a wide-ranging interview with Rolling St

What happens when housing prices go down?

news.ycombinator.com Charles Marohn 2026-01-11 00:16:42

There’s a theory about housing that has taken hold with a kind of religious fervor: If you want to make housing more affordable, just build more of it. Supply and demand. Simple economics. This narrative is now dominating housing policy discussion across the political spectrum. Deregulate, upzone, speed up approvals, let the market work. And if you build enough homes, the theory goes, prices will come down. But here’s the question almost no one asks: What happens when prices actually start to

You had Visual Basic, you had a rich ecosystem of components, you could wire them together to create apps, standing on the shoulders of the coders who built those components. If you’re younger than 45 you may not know what that was like, nor realize web components have never worked the same way.
