Launched in July 2023, Yubin Archive's popularity stemmed from its mission to "eliminate educational inequality" by providing copies of educational material to less well-off students in South Korea. Operating via Telegram, Yubin Archive had grown to over 330,000 members when its operator was arrested on Tuesday.

Compiler Bug Causes Compiler Bug: How a 12-Year-Old G++ Bug Took Down Solidity

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 20:04:21

Compilers aren't supposed to crash — especially not when compiling perfectly valid code like this: // SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED pragma solidity ^0.8.25; contract A { function a () public pure returns ( uint256 ) { return 1 ** 2 ; } } Yet running Solidity's compiler (solc) on this file on a standard Ubuntu 22.04 system (G++ 11.4, Boost 1.74) causes an immediate segmentation fault. At first, this seemed absurd. The code just returns 1 to the power of 2 — no memory tricks, unsafe casti

PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-04 21:13:43

PHP 8.5, due out November of this year, will bring with it another long-sought-after feature: the pipe operator ( |> ). It's a small feature with huge potential, yet it still took years to happen. What is a pipe operator? The pipe operator, spelled |> , is deceptively simple. It takes the value on its left side and passes it as the single argument to a function (or in PHP's case, callable ) on its right side: $result = "Hello World" |> strlen(...) // Is equivalent to $result = strlen("Hello W

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

news.ycombinator.com Steve Dignam 2026-02-25 20:09:21

I’ve been working on Squawk for a while, it’s a linter for PostgreSQL, and it now uses a handmade parser. So let’s explore some interesting bits from the Postgres grammar. Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators. For example, Postgres uses <-> for comparing geometric types, along with a whole host of others: ## , @-@ , # , @> , <@> , &< , &> , |>> , |<< , <^ , >^ , ?- , ?| , ?|| , ~= . Note: custom operator

Build your own SQLite in Rust, Part 5: Evaluating queries

news.ycombinator.com Geoffrey Copin 2025-11-09 14:32:18

In the previous posts, we've explored the SQLite file format and built a simple SQL parser. It's time to put these pieces together and implement a query evaluator! In this post, we'll lay the groundwork for evaluating SQL queries and build a query evaluator that can handle basic SELECT statements. While our initial implementation won't support filtering, sorting, grouping, or joins yet, it will give us the foundation to add these features in future posts. As usual, the complete source code for
