After about two years since the last beta, and only about a week after Haiku’s 25th birthday, Haiku R1/beta6 has been released! See “Release Notes” for the release notes, “Press contact”, for press inquiries … and …
A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt. If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: update to 4.0.1. I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.
An anti-pattern is a commonly used process, structure, or pattern of action that, despite initially appearing to be an appropriate and effective response to a problem, has more bad consequences than good ones.Simeon Simeonov first wrote an introduction to the value of startup anti-patterns back in 2013. To sum it up, it’s hard to pinpoint

Life. An implementation of Conway's game of Life for Windows 3.1x and later. The program isn't a very useful implementation, being much too limited. (Much better programs, and more information about Life, can be found here.) However, the source code does contain some interesting bits, including mixing 16-bit C code and 32-bit assembly via winmem32.dll, translating between DIBs with different color organizations, non-trivial management of a small palette, and background processing and window updating. Though there is no help file, I have included a short text file that describes how to use the program, and how the source code is organized.

There has been some interest recently in determining the longest distance one can sail for on the earth without hitting land, as well as in the converse problem of determining the longest distance one could drive for on the earth without encountering a major body of water. In its basic form, this is an optimisation problem, rendered chaotic by the presence of islands and lakes, and indeed the fractal nature of the coasts. In this paper we present a methodology for calculating the two paths using the branch-and-bound algorithm.

The bearded capuchins of northeastern Brazil typically eat plant-based foods, but they turn to small vertebrates when those sources are limited. Our ancestors may have done the same, eventually allowing predatory behaviors to be more frequently passed on in our lineage
