I Never Cared Much for Swords. Then I Had to Fight with One

news.ycombinator.com Sandrine Rastello 2025-07-22 07:02:16

On a grey November afternoon, clad in a borrowed—and somewhat smelly—fencing outfit, I spent two hours going through the basics of the aspiring duellist: saluting before putting on the protective mask, pinching the grip of the sword with the thumb and index finger, gliding back and forth while keeping the feet planted. But this wasn’t the kind of fencing you see at the Olympics—the dazzling speed of the athletes, electronic scoring, and seemingly nonsensical rules. The instructions came with a t

5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-22 19:00:09

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s hard to blame anyone for feeling fed up with Google Nest cameras right now. The latest Nest Aware price hike means users will soon be paying up to $200 a year, with zero new features to show for it. That’s on top of already pricey hardware, limited local storage options, and a system that some feel might actually be getting worse rather than better. Maybe you’re already planning to cancel like some of these angry Redditors. Maybe you’re just Nest-curious

7 Best Coffee Concentrates for Instant Caffeine (2025)

If you know a thing or two about coffee, you might find the other brands recommended here too lowbrow. But can you out-taste a coffee sommelier? Kloo's coffee concentrates are curated by such tasters, also known as “Q Graders,” and I couldn't stop saying “Wow” out loud while I tested the brand's offerings.

Extending That XOR Trick to Billions of Rows

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-19 11:15:41

Can we extend the XOR trick for finding one or two missing numbers in a list to finding thousands of missing IDs in a billion-row table? Yes, we can! This is possible using a data structure called an Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) that compares two sets with space complexity based only on the size of the difference. Using a generalization of the XOR trick [1], all the values that are identical cancel out, so the size of this data structure depends only on the size of the difference. Most explan
