Image by Getty / Futurism Rx/Medicines Broken ice cream machines aren't the only thing bedeviling stalwart fast food chain McDonald's. Financial services firm Redburn Atlantic put the company's stock in the bear category, coinciding with a slumpy week in which it lost about three percent of its value — because analysts are betting that GLP-1 agonist weight loss drugs like Ozempic are going to disrupt the fast food business model, CBS News reports.

Using `make` to compile C programs

news.ycombinator.com Julia Evans 2026-03-15 20:24:48

I have never been a C programmer but every so often I need to compile a C/C++ program from source. This has been kind of a struggle for me: for a long time, my approach was basically “install the dependencies, run make , if it doesn’t work, either try to find a binary someone has compiled or give up”. “Hope someone else has compiled it” worked pretty well when I was running Linux but since I’ve been using a Mac for the last couple of years I’ve been running into more situations where I have to

Writing a Truth Oracle in Lisp

This post assumes some familiarity with typed functional programming, Lisp, and formal logic. Today we will attempt to write a truth oracle in Lisp. By "truth oracle," I mean a program that can determine whether arbitrary mathematical statements are true or false. This might sound impossible, due to first-order logic being undecidable, but let's try anyway. Before that, though, we need to go over some required concepts.

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-19 09:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But how did they get there?
