Telegram is expanding access to its crypto wallet for its 87 million users in the U.S. The TON wallet, named because it is built on the TON blockchain, is integrated directly into the Telegram app. By existing within the app, Telegram’s crypto wallet is supposed to form an easier onramp for new crypto users.

Make Map Icons with Orthographic Projections

news.ycombinator.com You Are Going To Send Email To 2026-01-11 18:01:06

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft. A good example is Earth’s first portrait, taken from Apollo 8 mission astronauts in 1968: This pr

“Dynamic programming” is not referring to “computer programming”

When seeing the phrase “dynamic programming” in an algorithms class or leetcode study guide, the first question people ask is “what does ‘dynamic’ mean in this context?”. The key question is instead “what does ‘programming’ mean in this context?”, because it does not mean “computer programming”.

The Demise of China’s Hottest Online Shopping Craze

wired.com Zeyi Yang 2026-01-13 04:30:00

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry. Called “community group buying,” it allowed consumers to save money on everything from apples to iPhones by placing bulk orders together with their friends and family. The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one.

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan
