10 features of D that I love This is a beginner-friendly post exploring some of my favourite parts of the D programming language, ranging from smaller quality of life stuff, to more major features. I won’t talk much about D’s metaprogramming in this post as that topic basically requires its own dedicated feature list, but I still want to mention that D’s metaprogramming is world class - allowing a level of flexibility & modelling power that few statically compiled languages are able to rival.

Evidence of a 12,800-year-old shallow airburst depression in Louisiana

news.ycombinator.com Fitzenreiter 2025-08-22 19:55:53

Introduction Cosmic airbursts and impacts produce a wide range of surface effects, with high-altitude airbursts, such as the 1908 Tunguska event, primarily generating blast damage without forming craters [1]. In contrast, low-altitude “touch-down” airbursts may induce surface melting, spherule formation, shocked quartz, and shallow cratering [2]. Due to preservation challenges, few airburst signatures are documented in the geologic record, limiting our understanding of these events. Here, we rep

Dominique Thorne Breaks Down That Shocking ‘Ironheart’ Cliffhanger

Heroes don’t usually do what Riri Williams does at the end of Ironheart. In fact, most superhero stories would have the main character doing the exact opposite of what Riri does in the closing moments of Disney+’s latest Marvel show. And yet, it was specifically that decision and the thought behind it that got star Dominique Thorne most excited. At the end of Ironheart, Riri (Thorne) makes a literal deal with the devil, agreeing to partner with the evil Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen) in exchange
