Poor child process management in Rust terminal apps leads to terminal corruption

news.ycombinator.com Nicolas Joseph 2025-12-20 21:05:04

When a terminal application that spawns child processes doesn't exit cleanly after a Ctrl+C , the user is left with a corrupted terminal. Instead of a clean prompt, you get garbled output and a non-functional shell. This post covers how to solve these issues, with examples from the Moose CLI (for the PR that fixed many of these issues, see here). In this post, you’ll read learnings from solving these issues in the Moose CLI— terminal application that manages multiple child processes, including

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-12-22 17:31:16

A new report released yesterday by the Department of Energy purports to provide “a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.” But nine scientists across several different disciplines told WIRED that the report mishandled citations of their work: by cherrypicking data, misrepresenting findings, drawing erroneous conclusions, or leaving out relevant context. This report was introduced on the same day that the EPA announced it would seek to roll back the endangerment fin

Flaw in Gemini CLI coding tool could allow hackers to run nasty commands

Researchers needed less than 48 hours with Google’s new Gemini CLI coding agent to devise an exploit that made a default configuration of the tool surreptitiously exfiltrate sensitive data to an attacker-controlled server. Gemini CLI is a free, open-source AI tool that works in the terminal environment to help developers write code.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Agent Clicks "I Am Not a Robot" Button Without a Wink of Irony

Amid the launch of OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, Redditors found something odd: that the AI will gladly click its way through a test meant to distinguish between humans and robots — by identifying itself as the former. Spotted by Ars Technica, this hilarious — if not foreboding — occurrence was documented on the r/OpenAI subreddit, where a user posted screenshots of ChatGPT Agent "causally clicking the 'I am not a robot' button.'"

An EPA rule change threatens to gut US climate regulations

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-12-23 17:29:49

The proposed rule will go up for public comment, and the agency will then take that feedback and come up with a final version. It’ll almost certainly get hit with legal challenges and will likely wind up in front of the Supreme Court. One note here is that the EPA makes a mostly legal argument in the proposed rule reversal rather than focusing on going after the science of climate change, says Madison Condon, an associate law professor at Boston University.
