Don't cancel Netflix yet: I used these secret codes to unlock shows I didn't know existed

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-05 08:30:14

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Netflix wasn't the first streaming platform, but it was the first to make video-on-demand mainstream. Fourteen years ago, as it phased out its mailing service, it took a massive bite out of the global market. Also: This 30-second fix made my Roku TV run like new again (and why it works) Remember that? Physical DVDs showing up in your actual mailbox -- the one at the end of your driveway (or your hallway)? To my surprise, that was still actually a thing up until late 2023. W

The Origin of the Research University

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-01 11:50:52

If you were alive in 1800 and someone asked you about the future of research, it wouldn’t occur to you to mention the university. Real scholarship happened in new, modern, enlightened institutions like the British Royal Society or the French Académie des sciences. Universities were a medieval relic. And nowhere was it more medieval, hidebound, and generally dysfunctional than in the German-speaking world. But something happened to German universities at the turn of the 19th century — they develo

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-01 05:56:42

The jank programming language jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure. Please note that jank is under heavy development; assume all features are planned or incomplete. Where jank differs from Clojure JVM is that its host is C++ on top of an LLVM-based JIT.

The Night at the Museum film franchise is getting another go at 20th Century Studios under Disney to mine more historical hijinks.

Venice, Italy CNN — Erupting from fiery volcanoes, lava has historically been an uncontrollable force that destroys buildings and neighborhoods in its wake. But what if that force could instead be redirected and harnessed to create whole cities?

An ancient rock engraving in the Lower Nile Valley may offer a rare glimpse into the origin of Egyptian kings. The art panel depicts an elite individual with features resembling those of early Egyptian rulers, from the very beginning of political unification across Egypt. Around 6,000 years ago, Egypt underwent a dramatic political transformation, ultimately leading to the formation of the Egyptian state under the first pharaoh, Narmer, around 3100 BCE.
