news.ycombinator.com Erica Klarreich 2026-01-31 22:48:09

Randomness is a source of power. From the coin toss that decides which team gets the ball to the random keys that secure online interactions, randomness lets us make choices that are fair and impossible to predict. But in many computing applications, suitable randomness can be hard to generate. So instead, programmers often rely on things called hash functions, which swirl data around and extract some small portion in a way that looks random. For decades, many computer scientists have presumed

The Night at the Museum film franchise is getting another go at 20th Century Studios under Disney to mine more historical hijinks. It’s been 20 years (a shocking number, yes) since the release of the first film starring Ben Stiller (Severance) as a museum night watch guard who goes on adventures when the exhibits come to life at night.

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2026-02-01 04:01:41

An ancient rock engraving in the Lower Nile Valley may offer a rare glimpse into the origin of Egyptian kings. The art panel depicts an elite individual with features resembling those of early Egyptian rulers, from the very beginning of political unification across Egypt. Around 6,000 years ago, Egypt underwent a dramatic political transformation, ultimately leading to the formation of the Egyptian state under the first pharaoh, Narmer, around 3100 BCE. Researchers still know relatively little

How ‘Star Wars’ Inspired a Late Change to James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-02 04:15:39

During post-production on Superman, writer-director James Gunn ran into a problem. “We found that people loved the movie but that they were confused about the world they were entering,” Gunn told io9 recently. And so, to fix that problem, late in the filmmaking process, he looked to another one of his favorite films for the fix. When Superman hits theaters this week, it opens with six sentences that set up not just the world of the DC Universe, but Superman’s origin and the film’s plot, all in

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =
