Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-09 11:18:06

After migrating several projects from WordPress to Astro, I've become a massive fan of this framework. What is Astro? Astro is a web framework that came out in 2021 and immediately felt different. While most JavaScript frameworks started with building complex applications and then tried to adapt to simpler sites, Astro went the opposite direction. It was built from day one for content-focused websites. The philosophy is refreshingly simple. Astro believes in being content-driven and server-fi

Most RESTful APIs aren't really RESTful

news.ycombinator.com Florian Krämer 2026-02-09 09:04:36

When talking about REST, it is worth reading the dissertation of Roy Thomas Fielding. The original paper that describes RESTful web, “Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures” Roy T. Fielding (2000), introduces the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style as a framework for designing scalable, performant, and maintainable networked systems, particularly web services.

In the northern hemisphere, it's hard to not spend the winter in a state of slumbering sloth, just waiting for sunshine and good times to start again. Conveniently, Prime Day fitness tracker deals (all four days of them) drop right in the middle of summer, which makes this a great time to pick up the smartwatch or smart ring that you just didn't have the cash for at Christmas.

‘People Are Going to Die’: A Malnutrition Crisis Looms in the Wake of USAID Cuts

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2026-02-09 12:00:00

Few lifesaving tools are as effective as ready-to-use therapeutic foods, known as RUTFs, which are specially designed to treat severe malnutrition and often resemble fortified peanut butter. Despite announcing a $50 million pledged to fund RUTFs earlier this summer, the Trump administration's deep cuts to foreign assistance have wreaked havoc on RUTF distribution globally, and the State Department hasn’t placed orders with leading suppliers this year.

A Giant Planet and a Small Star Are Shaking Up Conventional Cosmological Theory

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2026-02-09 14:00:00

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously thought a star like this could not have large planets circulating it, because its mass is only about 20 percent of the sun, meaning its planetary system—generated from materials surrounding the star—would not have contained enough mass to form a giant body like Saturn or Jupiter. But when observi

US Court nullifies FTC requirement for click-to-cancel

A federal appeals court today struck down a "click-to-cancel" rule that would have required companies to make cancelling services as easy as signing up. The Federal Trade Commission rule was scheduled to take effect on July 14 but was vacated by the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. A three-judge panel ruled unanimously that the Biden-era FTC, then led by Chair Lina Khan, failed to follow the full rulemaking process required under US law.

European VC breaks taboo by investing in pure defense tech from Ukraine’s war zones

techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2026-02-09 12:00:00

Defense tech has gone from a no-go zone for VCs to a hot investment sector. However, dual use — meaning that the technology must also have civilian applications — is still a requirement for most of them, including the NATO Innovation Fund. Estonian VC firm Darkstar breaks from this trend by investing in purely military applications, with the goal of helping rearm Europe using combat-proven solutions emerging from Ukraine. “This is very critical, not only today but for the next 10 years,” said i
