Image by Getty / Futurism Developments It's a technology that doesn't even exist yet, but its effects could be so drastically destructive that scientists in the field are calling for it to be banned now, before it's too late. We're talking, of course, about "mirror life" — synthetic organisms that quite literally turn natural biology on its head.

GNU Artanis – A fast web application framework for Scheme

news.ycombinator.com Artanis Dev Team 2025-10-30 05:06:29

More seriously, Artanis is written using GNU Guile, one of the best implementations of Scheme language. One day, the folks at GNU were discussing what language they would write the GNU website in - and many chose Python. But I found that strange, because the official extension language of GNU is GNU Guile. And I wondered aloud - why not start a brand new project to provide a web framework written with GNU Guile? To which RMS said, "It's cool, I like this idea." But at that time, it was just an

Silent Hill f starts off with a grounded (but still heavy) setup, establishing a miserable family dynamic for protagonist Hinako. With an alcoholic, abusive father, a submissive mother and an absent sister, who’s shown in flashbacks with that classic horror trope, face unseen. Something horrible is about to unfold in the sleepy, remote village of Ebisugaoka, sometime in the early 1960s.

Is It Ever Legal—or Ethical—to Remove DRM?

Whatever you think about Digital Rights Management software, it's hard to argue with the fact that it's annoying. Such technology exists, in theory, to protect the intellectual property of the companies that create music, movies, and games, but it can also get in the way of you enjoying books, music, and videos the way you want to. Say, for example, that you bought a bunch of books on the Amazon Kindle platform but later decided you wanted to switch to a Kobo device (or vice versa). The DRM sys

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Finally Doing What the Movies Have Not

At their core, most of the Alien movies are about corporate greed. The lengths a company, mainly Weyland-Yutani, will go to harness and exploit a power from the deepest reaches of space. Whether that means sacrificing a whole ship of employees, a platoon of soldiers, families, criminals, or cloning dead people, almost every story in the Alien saga is about the idea that getting an alien back to Earth would be a huge benefit to the bottom line of the company.
