Stepping Down as Libxml2 Maintainer

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 01:17:20

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?

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-09-21 09:08:51

China Unicom will deploy Alibaba's AI accelerators from its semiconductor unit called Pingtouge or T-Head, according to a report from China state broadcaster CCTV. Alibaba does not sell chips directly, but companies can effectively use the computing power based on those semiconductors by buying Alibaba cloud services. A person familiar wi

Semlib provides, as building blocks, familiar functional programming primitives like map , reduce , sort , and filter , but with a twist: Semlib's implementation of these operations are programmed with natural language descriptions rather than code. Under the hood, Semlib handles complexities such as prompting, parsing, concurrency control, caching,

Reshaped is now open source

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 08:32:49

About five years ago, I started Reshaped. I built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma. Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others. I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices. So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, whil

What the Hell Is Going on With Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun and Donald Trump?

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-08 05:30:06

World Liberty Financial’s crypto token WLFI started trading on exchanges Monday, which was great news for President Donald Trump’s family, who holds a reported 22.5 billion tokens. The move instantly created billions in wealth for America’s ruling family of fascists (at least on paper). But Justin Sun, a pro-Trump crypto billionaire who reportedly bought about $75 million of the token, says his wallets have been frozen. And nobody is sure why. The Trump family was instrumental in launching Wor

Why did dlclose not unload the library? (2023)

Recently, at work, we were debugging an issue where dlclose was not unloading the library . You might wonder why that even matters - if your library contains any global symbols, then their state will persist across a dlopen, dlclose sequence. In other words, your library isn’t starting from a clean state every time. In the case we were debugging, this issue manifested in the following fashion: We had two libraries libA and libB and libA dynamically depends on libB. When you dlopen libA, it also

Libby is hands down my favorite part of using my Kindle

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-18 08:30:35

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority As a kid, my library handed out tokens for every chapter kids read as part of a summer reading program. At the end of the season, those tokens turned into currency for spending at a karaoke BBQ, with games and toys up for grabs. I’ll never get over the trauma of singing American Pie (I had not realized just how painfully long that song really is), but I will always foster the same love for mass consumption of oversized chapter books.

The first Hollywood film I watched in a theater was “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” in 2017 in Tunis — the movie in which Disney definitively ruined the franchise forever. Before that, in Libya, I used to buy pirated movies on CDs, or download them from illegal websites. Even the Libyan government got in on the piracy racket, illegally packaging the Arabic-speaking Disney channel along with 19 others and selling it just for 150 Libyan dinars. I say “just,” but 150 Libyan dinars was around $100 U.S.,

Crypto Bros’ ‘Startup Nation’ Wants to Plant a Flag on an Asteroid

The “Network State” movement, described by its detractors as a “cult,” is an ideological movement that seeks to create privately owned, anarcho-capitalist, “autonomous” communities.
