Elements of System Design

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-29 09:44:58

Elements of System Design System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary taxonomy of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal is a shared, concise vocabulary that

Placing Functions

news.ycombinator.com Yoshua Wuyts 2025-12-27 11:36:24

placing functions — 2025-07-08 What are placing functions? About a year ago I observed that in-place construction seems surprisingly simple. By separating the creating of the place in memory from writing the value to memory, it’s not that hard to see how we can turn that into a language feature. So about six months ago, that’s what I went ahead and did and created the placing crate: a proc-macro-based prototype for “placing functions”.

‘Predator: Badlands’ Came From a Desire to Do Something New, With a Dash of ‘Star Wars’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-29 20:20:54

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg did something no one ever thought was possible. He took a beloved franchise, Predator, and flipped it on its head. By giving it a fresh perspective and a new timeline, he took something old and brought it into the now. For his follow-up, he wanted to do that again, but it was difficult. Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a

‘Urban Legend’ Has ’90s Nostalgia and Folklore Frights Worth Revisiting

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-30 00:05:56

Scream arrived in 1996, revitalizing slasher movies and ushering in a rush of imitators—much like Halloween and Friday the 13th did during the genre’s first wave in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Now we’re in a third wave, with Scream’s successful return and the recent releases of brand-new movies in the late ‘90s-early 2000s I Know What You Did Last Summer and Final Destination series.

SpaceX is prepping the Starship rocket for its upcoming test flight, expected to take place in early August. The rocket’s last few launches did not go smoothly, leaving SpaceX in a bit of a slump as it rushes to develop a fully reusable Starship. The company desperately needs a win ahead of its planned uncrewed Mars launch in 2026, or at least for the rocket not to end up as burnt scraps at the bottom of the ocean.
