How a Cyberattack at a Company You've Never Heard of Nearly Derailed My Anniversary Carrot Cake

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 03:00:03

Every year since we got married, my husband and I have celebrated our anniversary with a carrot cake. Some years it was from the amazing bakery in our old neighborhood, while others it was a questionably fresh effort picked up at a train station shop on the way home from the office, but often I would bake my own.

The Internet Archive modernizes its GeoCities GIF search engine

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 07:23:15

The Internet Archive made it easier to search for '90s-era GIFs. GifCities contains millions of animations from the decade of flannel shirts and Soup Nazis. The GIFs were pulled from old GeoCities webpages, which (mostly) bit the dust in 2009. The new version of GifCities is much easier to search. You can now search semantically, based on the animation's content. In other words, it's much more likely to bring up the topic or scene you're looking for by describing it.

news.ycombinator.com Considerations On Codecrafting 2025-09-15 22:04:40

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in tools and programming languages that can automatically detect common types of bugs, in order to improve product quality and programmer productivity. Most commonly, this is done via static type systems, but traditional static type systems require large amounts of manual annotation by programmers, making them difficult to work with. Therefore, modern programming languages make increasing use of type inference, which provides the same benefits
