Show HN: BinaryRPC – Lightweight WebSocket-based RPC framework in modern C++

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-19 09:32:12

BinaryRPC 🧭 Motivation While working at my company, I had previously developed a WebSocket server prototype in Java. However, over time, we started to experience performance issues. This led me to turn to C++, a language that offers more speed and low-level system control. Through my research, I discovered that uWebSockets was one of the best options in terms of performance, so I began developing with this library. However, since uWebSockets is a very "core" library, I had to handle many deta

Rian Johnson Feels Fine About ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-19 09:25:20

The changeover from Star Wars: The Last Jedi to The Rise of Skywalker had everyone feeling some type of way, and it continues to this day. Was J.J. Abrams spitefully undoing Rian Johnson’s work in Jedi, or are the two more in conversation with one another than they appear? In Johnson’s eyes, it’s the latter, and something he harbors no ill will about. While chatting with Rolling Stone about Poker Face’s just-wrapped second season, he revealed he had “a great time” watching Skywalker and didn’t

War for Westeros, Coming in 2026, Will Let Fans Make Their Own Game of Thrones Ending

For a moment in time, fantasy fans were split between whether Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies or HBO's Game of Thrones prestige TV show was the best adaptation of a classic book series. But the Oliphaunt in the room is that the last seasons of the latter plummeted so far in quality that it soured opinions on the show as a whole, especially with its divisive ending. But an upcoming GoT video game adaptation due out in 2026 will give players a chance to set the record straight and make th

The Best Co-op Games for Every Situation

Cooperative play is intrinsic to gaming. Some of my earliest (and best) gaming memories are of hours-long gaming sessions with friends. There's a reason why Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction and It Takes Two were so well received -- people love playing games with others. Bonus points if you don't need two copies of the game, or can do so from the same couch.

It's official: Microplastics are in more than just fish. They seem to be in everything now, even mundane things like chewing gum. UCLA researchers found that microplastics are released directly into our mouths each time we chew a piece. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. With something as common as chewing gum becoming a delivery system for microplastics, many people are concerned abou

Rivian R1S review: second time’s the charm

theverge.com Peter Nelson 2025-08-19 05:00:00

Just four years after Rivian began selling its R1T truck, 2025 marks the beginning of the R1T and R1S’ second generation. Considering they look essentially the same on the outside, it might be hard to decipher what warrants a new generation. But underneath, it’s actually quite easy: all-new electric architecture, a new motor arrangement, retuned suspension, and more. Kicking off at $107,700, here’s how all these revisions make the 2025 Rivian R1S Premium Tri-Motor a true frontrunner in the moder

Repasting a MacBook

You should repaste your MacBook (but don't) My favorite memory of my M1 Pro MacBook Pro was the whole sensation of “holy crap, you never hear the fans in this thing”, which was very novel in 2021. Four years later, this MacBook Pro is still a delight. It’s the longest I’ve ever owned a laptop, and while I’d love to pick up the new M4 goodness, this dang thing still seems to just shrug at basically anything I throw at it.

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions.
