Social platforms were built to connect people; then their economics shifted to entertain them. What’s notable here is not just the TikTokization of every app, but the technical inversion behind it: recommender systems optimized for watch time displaced the social graph as the primary routing layer. Under the hood,

Floor796 is less a website than a proof that modern browsers can shoulder large-scale, looped animation without falling over. What’s notable here is the sheer density: hundreds of tiny, synchronized scenes stitched into a single, zoomable canvas you can pan through like a living Where’s Waldo-only it’s

Floor796 is a sprawling, ever‑growing web animation that plays out across a single, horizontally scrollable “floor” of a space station - dozens (and counting) of tiny looped scenes stitched into one continuous canvas. What’s notable here isn’t just the density of references; it’s the delivery. This

An “Ask HN” request for outbound sales resources surfaces a familiar gap: technical founders can build, but many still struggle to systematically generate pipeline. What’s notable here is how modern outbound looks less like smiling-and-dialing and more like a data and systems exercise. Under the hood, effective programs hinge

QNX’s self-hosted developer desktop brings development directly onto the RTOS, sidestepping the usual Windows/Linux cross-compile dance. What’s notable here isn’t the novelty of self-hosting as a concept, but the packaging: a supported, desktop-class workspace where the toolchain, debugger, and system tracing run on the same microkernel

To write a grounded analysis for tech-savvy readers, I need the core facts about LearnixOS. What is it exactly (Linux distro, educational toolkit, courseware + OS image, or something else)? Who’s behind it and what’s the license? Under the hood, which base or kernel, package manager, init system, and

Another year, another “Ask HN: What did you read in 2025?” thread-an unvarnished snapshot of what practitioners actually sink time into. What’s notable here isn’t the format but the signal quality: links to papers, RFCs, deep-dive blog posts, and a smattering of books and newsletters form an organically

LearnixOS has entered the chat with a name that promises “Linux for learning,” but details are thin for now. That makes the technical checklist the story: under the hood, any credible new distro will live or die by fundamentals like package strategy (immutable image vs. classic package manager), update model

The 39C3 Fahrplan is live, and as usual it’s more than a timetable-it’s the canonical data plane for the Congress. What’s notable here is the mature, API-first delivery: machine-readable feeds (XML/JSON/ICS), stable IDs, and revisioned updates that let apps, signage, and bots track inevitable last-minute
