news.ycombinator.com Remy Porter 2025-10-29 19:57:56

A few months ago, someone noted in the comments that they hadn't heard about the Therac-25 incident. I was surprised, and went off to do an informal survey of developers I know, only to discover that only about half of them knew what it was without searching for it. I think it's important that everyone in our industry know about this incident, and upon digging into the details I was stunned by how much of a WTF there was. Today's article is not fun, or funny. It describes incidents of death an

Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S25: The choice is clear for me

While Google’s Pixel line has gained momentum over the years, I’ve always felt that Samsung’s Galaxy S series was the safer bet. It delivered a more premium build, faster internals, and a strong reliability track record. But with the Pixel 10 series now officially announced, Google seems to have addressed those shortcomings head-on. That begs the question: Is the Pixel 10 good enough to take on the Galaxy S25 series?
