news.ycombinator.com Raphael Gaschignard 2026-01-29 00:57:25

From Python 3.14, python -m pdb -p pid lets you connect a pdb session to a running Python process. This post goes into a part of what makes this possible. The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals. Instead, debugging tools can be built off of pretty straightforward knowledge of the language. This is powered by the languages treating things like exc

I'm Unsatisfied with Easing Functions

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the latest high-profile Soulslike game, this time coming from Chinese developer Leenzee. Unlike some of the most recent Soulslike releases, Wuchang is more faithful to the formula created by FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but the changes it does make might be the game's downfall.
