news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 13:17:20

Hello, since I’ve stepped in as libxslt maintainer I’ve been studying both libxslt and libxml2 codebases. I have the time to maintain the library I just need to get familiar with the latest changes you introduced like: I haven’t find how to manage both output and input buffers. I found functions like: xmlOutputBufferCreateIO but by the places in which I’ve found them is not clear on how to use them. Should I send you an email with my questions or do you prefer other means of communication?

Teams Grow Organically

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three. What’s surprising is how rarely these structures reflect reality. In practice,

Satellite communication has been one of the most talked-about phone features in the past couple of years, and it’s no longer just for emergencies. Just this week, our APK teardown showed h

I Don't Read Your Email Threads 08 Aug, 2025 Email threads have got to be one of the worst possible forms of communication. You've been here before. A perfectly respectable morning is passing by. You're working through your items at a chipper pace maybe humming a song you heard on Spotify that morning. Then, the dreaded email thread comes through. Innocently, you click into the top email.

FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-06 03:49:17

The Federal Communications Commission is ditching Biden-era standards for measuring progress toward the goal of universal broadband deployment. The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of
