Steve Jobs' cabinet

In 2025, it developed its first fault, a buzzy speaker, and I opened it up to replace the speaker.

The two railroads confirmed today that they are in advanced merger discussions. The talks, they said, may not result in a deal. Plus, there’s the potential for a bidding war if BNSF Railway, UP’s Western rival,

Never write your own date parsing library

news.ycombinator.com Zach Leatherman 2026-01-01 02:36:25

Never write your own date parsing library. Never. No exceptions. Never have I ever… So… I’ve written my own date parsing library. Why? Our story begins seven years ago in the year 2018. I made the very sensible choice to adopt luxon as the Date Parsing library for Eleventy. This parsing behavior is used when Eleventy finds a String for the date value in the Data Cascade (though YAML front matter will bypass this behavior when encountering a YAML-compatible date). This choice was good for El

Neon Now Runs in VS Code

Developers love using Neon branches for a local development, due to the agility they provide (e.g. fast resets, isolated environments, and the ability to test without polluting production data). But using Neon branches still requires you to manage separate connection strings for different branches and ensure your application and its environment is properly set up to connect.

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress toward that goal, that future is generally thought to be more than a decade away. Now, a startup spun out of MIT thinks it has cracked the code for making commercial-scale 2D semiconductors and expects chipmakers to have integrated them in advanced chips in half that time.
