Re:Why DuckDB 2.0 is faster on Saturday October 10, 2026 @10:25PM (#50039225)
Nice article!

While it's true that 2.0 makes recursive CTEs much more performant, don't forget that there's a badass DuckDB extension for graph data already. Here's a 2025 article about how elegantly that can handle what is otherwise quite a challenging class of query for your typical RDBMS: https://duckdb.org/2025/10/22/duckdb-graph-queries-duckpgq

This is perhaps the most "metal concept album"-ready Nature article title I have seen. My Nature+ subscription is paying the bills this month, for sure.

I am sure this is a nice article, but I'm always surprised when something with a hard paywall makes it this high up on HN. Does everybody but me have a Financial Times subscription?

IBM Plex Mono totally slaps. Look at those braces!
Re:Everything Is BOM: Bill of Materials Encyclopedia on Thursday June 18, 2026 @07:39PM (#48593075)
These are specifically not Bills of Material, but general (LLM-generated, it seems) lists of the kinds of parts involved in things. No specific part numbers are indexed, and things like "Bare PCB" are not usefully-broken-down; FR4 is quite different than what you'd use for a high-frequency RF board, so saying bare PCBs are "$1 to $200" is not at all helpful.

I like the idea implied by the name, but this is more like a "Vaguely How Stuff Works dot com" than that.

Microsoft is so broken that an employee finds it easier to write a blog post about a documentation improvement than simply making that improvement? Explains a lot. "Conway's Flaw?"
Highly-deformable materials for bio-sensors. "This limitation impedes applications" once again missing from the abstract, but this could easily have deployed that line.

Still waiting. Maybe some day.
Baffling number of total-paywall links on the front page here these days.

Can someone explain who this person is and why this is relevant? People crash out all the time; you can seek balance without "cold turkey", unless they find no value in the web at all, in which case why bother to post about it? Who is the audience of this website, if this is their last post?
