A Deep Dive into Debian 13 /tmp: What's New, and What to Do If You Don't Like It

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 13:39:44

Debian 13 “Trixie” introduces an important change to /tmp. Traditionally, it’s been just another filesystem, albeit with some special permissions that allows everyone on the system to use it without being able to remove each other’s files. In Trixie, it’s been moved off the disk into memory – specifically a type of memory called tmpfs. To quote the tmpfs man page: The tmpfs facility allows the creation of filesystems whose contents reside in virtual memory. Since the files on such filesystems

Elon Musk reacts during a press event with U.S. President Donald Trump (not pictured), at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 30, 2025. Elon Musk's fervent promotion of Tesla 's self-driving technology isn't doing much to win over prospective buyers.

Implementing Forth in Go and C

I first ran into Forth about 20 years ago when reading a book about designing embedded hardware. The reason I got the book back then was to actually learn more about the HW aspects, so having skimmed the Forth chapter I just registered an "oh, this is neat" mental note and moved on with my life. Over the last two decades I heard about Forth a few more times here and there, such as that time when Factor was talked about for a brief period, maybe 10-12 years ago or so.

AI Is Eliminating Jobs for Younger Workers

Economists at Stanford University have found the strongest evidence yet that artificial intelligence is starting to eliminate certain jobs. But the story isn’t that simple: While younger workers are being replaced by AI in some industries, more experienced workers are seeing new opportunities emerge.

A charter boat fisherman was among the first to discover the wreckage — a “mess,” he called it, deep off the coast of Massachusetts. From behind a veil of pea soup-thick fog emerged hundreds of white and green fiberglass and Styrofoam pieces, some as small as a fingernail, some as large as a truck hood. By the following morning, the tide had carried the debris about 12 nautical miles and scattered it across Nantucket Island’s beaches. Residents woke to a shoreline covered in trash, fiberglass sh

In-Memory Filesystems in Rust

In-memory Filesystems in Rust I’ve been working on a CLI tool recently, and one of the things it does is manage files on disk. I have written a lot of file management tests for Bundler, and the two biggest reasons that the Bundler test suite is slow are exec and fstat . Knowing that, I thought I would try to get out ahead of the slow file stat problem by using an in-memory filesystem for testing.

Iterative DFS with stack-based graph traversal (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Farlow 2025-10-30 07:09:08

Depth-first search (DFS) on a graph (binary tree or otherwise) is most often implemented recursively, but there are occasions where it may be desirable to consider an iterative approach instead. Such as when we may be worried about overflowing the call stack. In such cases it makes sense to rely on implementing DFS with our own stack instead of relying on our program's implicit call stack. But doing so can lead to some problems if we are not careful. Specifically, as noted in another blog post,
