DASD··on Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions
That and there is an idea that the strength of pardons will be tested by the House Oversight Committee(assuming take back by Democrats).
DASD··on OpenBSD 8.0
Nice! Think there was a gap in release-accompanying songs from 7.4 to 7.8 or I missed them. Seems they are back on track now.
DASD··on When No ID Means No Internet
Title shortened from : When No ID Means No Internet: Age Verification and the Right to Access Information
DASD··on OpenAI discloses four more rogue incidents
Not a stretch to umbrella intentional tort under that.
DASD··on OpenAI discloses four more rogue incidents
Title shortened from: OpenAI discloses four more rogue incidents involving financial, medical, and government data
DASD··on Big Tech Oligarchs Have a Terrible Plan for Humanity
Author: Bernie Sanders
DASD··on Stolen Renoir paintings found hidden, and damaged, behind cinder block wall
Crime gravity. If able to provide the solution to a crime that is considered more serious(or of greater value to the prosecuting entity's purview).
DASD··on ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program
I assumed similarly. Leaves me with a sour note every time I drop in here now.
DASD··on ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program
Why is this flagged? @dang
DASD··on Show HN: Odin Programming Book
There's a discussion on Reddit regarding the generation of the book material. Perhaps you can join?

Why is Steve Publications listed and you asked here on HN who this was two months ago?

DASD··on Zig v0.17.0
Fabrice Bellard might be an exception.
DASD··on Zig v0.17.0
Seems to be C++ing which is disappointing. Looking more at C3 and Odin for cases where I'd hoped Zig to land.
DASD··on Gitea 28.0
But from the downvoting, announcing evaluation of these is contentious. Oh HN!
DASD··on Gitea 28.0
Thanks! Currently going through this decision process myself.
DASD··on VevDB
VevDB is a native embedded database with immutable database values, Datalog, queryable history, and hypothetical transactions. I came across this when I saw the author is also working on Kvist, a statically-typed LISP that compiles to Odin.
DASD··on What even is an OS now?
Same here but with the first CoCo, TRS-80.
DASD··on Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?
Perhaps look into environmental services labs that do contract EPA work. I would not be surprised to see entire HP-Agilent(ISA-carded) - (think liquid chromotography analyzers) fleets that would match what you're looking for.
DASD··on Chicken Scheme 6.0
Folks may also be interested that this version, 6.0, supports Crunch(although Crunch itself has not been declared a 1.0 status, currently @ .993), which is a compiler for a statically typed subset of Scheme R7RS. (https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/6/crunch)
DASD··on The state of building user interfaces in Rust
To extend this, what's the state of accessibility for user interfaces built in Rust?
DASD··on Swift at Apple: Migrating the TrueType hinting interpreter
Russinovitch (Azure's CTO/CISO) gave a speech at RustConf 2025 and mentions it(DirectWriteCore) took 2 engineers 6 months resulting in 154K LOC and 5-15 percent performance increase for font shaping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDtMuS7BExE&list=PL2b0df3jKK...
DASD··on Swift at Apple: Migrating the TrueType hinting interpreter
Curious the direction of Webkit as there was a nebulous mention of select portions being rewritten from C++ to Swift. And yet, the new ECMAScript module (ESM) loader for Safari 27 is implemented in C++ (https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf...).
DASD··on Elfeed 4.0 (Emacs)
Tangential - I have officially retired from Emacs(hand-off of maintenance of Elfeed recently) - https://nullprogram.com/blog/2026/04/26/
DASD··on OpenBSD 7.9
Single tenant(and single core) tiny VMs with OpenBSD's VMM hypervisor and confidential computing through AMD-SEV.
DASD··on OpenBSD 7.9
Nice! Had to lookup when one was last released, 7.3. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html
DASD··on WinUI 3 Performance: A Leap Forward
How about F# support? Until then, happy to support Avalonia.
DASD··on Why I still reach for Lisp and Scheme instead of Haskell
There's also Crunch Scheme(from creator of Chicken): https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/6/crunch
DASD··on I am building a cloud
This brings back painful yesteryear memories when consultants would push Microsoft Small Business Server for an on-prem all in one IT solution and charge extra to move to the cloud(colocation). A Linux-based alternative appeared named Clark Connect.
DASD··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
If he was "behind the fence", at most he would be a team sergeant or maybe even assistant team sergeant. Talking 4-6 members max.
DASD··on Stalwart v0.16: A New Foundation
Continue to be impressed with the quality and quantity of work Mauro is putting out for this project. Transition to management with JMAP replacing REST and TOML for configuration is major and glad to see the decision made to do it.
