More often, students use VPNs to survive the boredom -- and you can too. A virtual private network (VPN) enables you to circumvent school or co

I bought the cheapest EV, a used Nissan Leaf

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-23 11:57:21

I bought a used 2023 Nissan Leaf in 2025, my first 'new' car in 15 years. The above photo was taken by the dealership; apparently their social media team likes to post photos of all purchasers. I test drove a Tesla in 2012, and quickly realized my mistake. No gasoline-powered car (outside of supercars, maybe? Never drove one of those) could match the feel of pressing the throttle on an electric. I started out with a used minivan, which I drove into the ground. Then I bought a used Olds that I

IRHash: Efficient Multi-Language Compiler Caching by IR-Level Hashing

news.ycombinator.com Tobias Landsberg 2025-11-23 12:43:01

Compilation caches (CCs) save time, energy, and money by avoiding redundant compilations. They are provided by means of compiler wrappers (Ccache, sccache, cHash) or native build system features (Bazel, Buck2). Conceptually, a CC pays off if the achieved savings by cache hits outweigh the extra costs for cache lookups. Thus, most techniques try to detect a cache hit early in the compilation process by hashing the (preprocessed/tokenized) source code, but hashing the AST has also been suggested t

This machine was not just a piece of equipment; the tractor was a manifestation of an exponential shift in energy density, from animal metabolism to coal burning, empowered by discoveries in thermodynamics. But diffusion of the tractor, screeching across the horizon, took much l
