Internet Archive is now a federal depository library

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-21 12:56:04

While documents stored on microfiche or microfilm are easy to copy, they aren’t easy to access. The GPO has been moving toward digital preservation since 2016 and runs an online database of government records, and in recent years, it has ramped up efforts to digitize the Federal Depository Library Program. Participating libraries have largely pivoted to the GPO’s digital approach, but digitizing countless physical documents is a massive undertaking — one that the Internet Archive has experience

Elden Ring Nightreign is finally adding a two-player co-op mode on July 30. Prior to this, FromSoftware's spinoff could only be played solo or with three players. The so-called Duo Expeditions come as part of patch 1.02. This is something fans have been asking for, as not everybody has two friends available at once to tackle a tough-as-nails 3D adventure. FromSoftware has released a trailer to accompany this news, so you can see the two-player co-op in action. Beyond Duo Expeditions, the forth

How to draw lambda diagrams (2020)

If you don’t want spoilers for my puzzle a few days ago, don’t read ahead! I think lambda diagrams are extremely cool, and haven’t seen any detailed description on how they work online. I’ll start by showing some very simple examples of lambda diagrams, and then build up to more complicated ones. First of all, what are lambda diagrams? They are pictorial representations of lambda expressions, and hence count as a pictorial system for a large portion of mathematics. I will assume that you under

The great indentation war is over and it seems like we have a clear winner. Every now and then, while exploring a new programming language, I inevitably stumble upon a heated debate, often buried deep in a GitHub issue thread, where contributors are passionately arguing over whether the language’s formatter should default to tabs or spaces. Over the past few months, as I’ve been immersing myself in Zig, I encountered one such discussion. It got me thinking: After decades of writing code, how i

Here are some popular Ghostty cursors, that you can use out-of-the-box with Tattoy. Even though Tattoy supports Ghostty cursors its rendering is quite different. Ghostty renders the cursor using actual pixels whereas Tattoy renders using UTF8 text-based "pixels", namely "▀" and "▄".

Never write your own date parsing library. Never. No exceptions. Never have I ever… So… I’ve written my own date parsing library. Why? Our story begins seven years ago in the year 2018. I made the very sensible choice to adopt luxon as the Date Parsing library for Eleventy.

Modern humanity’s most famous cousins, the Neanderthals, may have had a clever, if unappealing, dietary trick for survival: maggots. Research out today posits these creepy crawly fly larvae provided Neanderthals an ample source of essential nitrogen and fat.
