How to do assembly only to build a web server for the hardware? I mean it may sound like building os from scratch.

You will find in five years. Untill then, practice, analyse, experiment the tool, make it efficient.

You would have already known your plan, the five years is to clear out the trash from head and find why you started in first place

Re:Show HN: words.zip – Massively infinite word search on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @02:00AM (#46598038)
i couldnt understand what you mean by drawings while its letters, is it formation of words, a drawing?

do you have a point system for players ?

by little projects - do you mean, the infinite canvas has raw ingridient, and recipie is up to individual's creativity?

Re:Show HN: words.zip – Massively infinite word search on Monday January 12, 2026 @02:36PM (#46593128)
Cool.

What do you mean by

finally working on their own little concepts.

Re:Signals vs. Query-Based Compilers on Sunday January 11, 2026 @01:26PM (#46578178)
when computed once, the function signature will be cache key

example function name(12,321):result

There is no elimination, there is one time execution

Re:Signals vs. Query-Based Compilers on Thursday January 08, 2026 @12:28PM (#46543750)
This isn't good. A good and efficient is to build better code generator. Current stack of programming languages and platform is heavy.

Let's assume a state of computing where all computations are done and cached.

In such a system, the programming languages or transpilers become obselete, as the computer results are available from storage readily.

Now the challenge is different. Depending on the reader or the user, the same memory data will appear different.

The paradigm shifts from parsers, to readers.

Example, an image data appears as binary to computer person, and meanings to an artist, etc.

Conclusion: what crap I have commented!

Never learnt the use of this tool. The certificate configuration tripped my head during my work. This gives brain damage because it doesn't make sense.

Why to check network payload when you are sure the data was sent.

what does it mean? is that suggesting "we" as this post is concerned only to europeans only?

Re:RCE via ND6 Router Advertisements in FreeBSD on Thursday December 18, 2025 @03:52AM (#46310343)
is my understanding right?

"PC or computers or hardware that uses OS that consume FreeBSD, has a faulty software for the router's firmware?"

"The router's software performs ad distributions?"

"The version of internet, the router uses, is updated, whereas, the target machine, or the user's machine is still running a old version"

"The security patch works for the modern but not the precursor version?"

"This leaves older systems obsolete in the market?"

"is this a step-by-step instructions to business owners to introduce new products, selling that older products are obsolete" ?

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone understand how Hacker News works? on Thursday December 18, 2025 @02:13AM (#46309759)
Writers.

Money. A spot as US citizen to get into startup school.

Money. An investment from a noble mind to another noble mind.

Money. Pass information to fellows at YC (who are from a different domain, see YC as a cool place) they crowd and promote (seems organic)

Money. Well, then the product or the tech fades, because its a bloatware.

They retry the same thing again with next batch of people. Keeps the forum running. The maintainers get retired or really tired.

Readers. I have seen this one before. Reader. Well, now, you are old

Re:Are we repeating the telecoms crash with AI datacenters? on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @12:51PM (#46137612)
No. AI data center, or any data center is designed with incorrect data structure resulting in over utilisation of computing resource.
Re:Critical RCE Vulnerabilities in React and Next.js on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @12:00PM (#46136905)
What is RCE? Remote call execution?
Could it be true, the past companies, which held ownership on past products, still in a misconception about current world working, and overpricing products without considering the possible downfall?
But digital don't need one. A designer can do it. But why there is a market dominance through legal license in this regard?
