On the screen, Libyans learned about everything but themselves (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Mohammed Alnaas 2025-10-28 21:12:22

The first Hollywood film I watched in a theater was “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” in 2017 in Tunis — the movie in which Disney definitively ruined the franchise forever. Before that, in Libya, I used to buy pirated movies on CDs, or download them from illegal websites. Even the Libyan government got in on the piracy racket, illegally packaging the Arabic-speaking Disney channel along with 19 others and selling it just for 150 Libyan dinars. I say “just,” but 150 Libyan dinars was around $100 U.S.,

Breathwork practices that increase ventilatory rate or depth, facilitated by music, can evoke subjective experiential states analogous to altered states of consciousness (ASCs) evoked by psychedelic substances. These states include components such as euphoria, bliss, and perceptual differences. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the profound subjective effects of high ventilation b

3D printing a building with 756 windows

I’m writing this in a building with 756 windows.

I’m a computer science major, but I make a point of taking a few non-math non-CS courses each year, made possible by Brown University’s Open Curriculumn. Last semester, those courses were in architecture and epigraphy; this blog post is about a project for the former.

SDS: Simple Dynamic Strings library for C

Simple Dynamic Strings Notes about version 2: this is an updated version of SDS in an attempt to finally unify Redis, Disque, Hiredis, and the stand alone SDS versions. This version is NOT binary compatible* with SDS verison 1, but the API is 99% compatible so switching to the new lib should be trivial. Note that this version of SDS may be a slower with certain workloads, but uses less memory compared to V1 since header size is dynamic and depends to the string to alloc. Moreover it includes

To speak politely about AI, you put disclaimers before criticism: of course I’m not against it entirely; perhaps in a few years when; maybe for other purposes, but. You are supposed to debate how and when it should be used. You are supposed to take for granted that it must be useful somewhere, to someone, for something, eventually.
