Get up to 77 percent off NordVPN two-year plans for Labor Day

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-02 02:01:26

VPN users are overwhelmed with choice, and there are as many bad options out there as there are good ones. Luckily, NordVPN sits in the latter category, and right now Nord is offering discounted plans across its various tiers. If you take out a two-year NordVPN Plus plan (the company's most popular plan) it’ll cost you $108 for the duration of the contract, with Nord throwing in three extra months at no extra cost. That’s 73 percent off the usual rate. As well as Nord’s VPN service, a Plus plan

Code Is Debt

“Tornike, what do you think of AI coding tools?” I like to answer this frequent question by way of an example. An example of two companies. It goes something like this: Imagine two very similar companies. Both companies generate similar revenue and produce a similar software product. The only difference between these companies is that Company A uses 1 million lines of code and Company B uses 100 thousand lines of code. Which company is better off? Clearly, the company with fewer lines of code

Spacing Over Cards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-01 20:49:11

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

How is Ultrassembler so fast? Ultrassembler is a superfast and complete RISC-V assembler library that I'm writing as a component of the bigger Chata signal processing project. Assemblers take in a platform-dependent assembly language and output that platform's native machine code which runs directly on the processor. "Why would you want to do this?" you might ask.

Survey: a third of senior developers say over half their code is AI-generated

Fastly’s July 2025 survey of 791 developers found a notable difference in how much AI-generated code is making it into production. About a third of senior developers (10+ years of experience) say over half their shipped code is AI-generated — nearly two and a half times the rate reported by junior developers (0–2 years of experience), at 13%. “AI will bench test code and find errors much faster than a human, repairing them seamlessly.

When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire

Click to enlarge A while ago I treated you to a dissertation entitled “Does The Sun Set On The British Empire?”, and concluded that it doesn’t. The UK’s widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory. The most important territories in maintaining this late-empire sunlight are the Pitcairn Islands, in the Pacific, and the British Indian Ocean Territory, in the Indian Ocean. To illustrate th

Touted As The Tesla-Killer, Lucid Scrambles to Stay On The NASDAQ

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-02 00:26:03

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) has implemented a reverse stock split, consolidating shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price and prevent delisting. As of Friday, Lucid’s share price was down over 96% from its all-time high of $64.86, reached in February 2021. While this move may protect the company from being removed from the exchange for now, it does little to address the underlying issues plaguing the struggling electric vehicle maker.

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?
