Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rusthttps://github.com/0xchasercat/draco/Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r

Show HN: A mod for Grand Prix Circuit (DSI/Accolade, 1988)https://marnetto.net/projects/grand-prix-circuitHello HN,I have built a mod for Grand Prix Circuit, an old 2.5D racing game: the latest episode of a long series of community efforts to reverse-engineer and improve the games made by Distinctive Software (today's EA Vancouver) in the DOS era.I've been dabbling in hacking old DOS games for almost two years, but this time I think my project is big enough to be worthy of a “Show HN“.From the gaming point of view, the mod offers a variety of new cars and tracks, from Spa to the Space, and more sophisticated EGA backgrounds than the original game.From the technical point of view, it was an interesting effort combining reverse engineering, development, design and pixel art, all of which both in classic and LLM-assisted variants.From the literary point of view, I have documented the making of the game in a series of (fully human-written) posts [1]. There is something for everyone: war stories, hacking techniques, the word “boustrophedonic” and, as bonus, an outdoor game to keep your kids awa

Show HN: Data structures as containers – sample chapter from my Big O book [pdf]https://thebigobook.com/downloads/data-structures-sample-chapter.pdfI was a self taught software engineer that later went to grad school to get a masters in software engineering. What I learned along the way was that many of the intimidating subjects around algorithms and data structures were much simpler and less scary than I ever thought.My hope for this book is to try and help the self taught developers get on more equal footing with people who have a CS degree - at least the algorithms class - which I always thought was most important for interviews. Along the road, I realized Big O, logs, and algorithmic complexity weren't as confusing as I first thought. This book hopes to close the gap between self taught developers and formal CS knowledge - which often gave me imposter syndrome.The linked PDF is a complete chapter from the book about common data structures you'll encounter in javascript - and leaving out some of the data structures you may never see (like Linked Lists).Note - this is one chapter of the book that was published and is available o

Ask HN: Looking for testers for my RAM-based Linux distributionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102865Hi,I have been working on a project called Invelinux for quite some time now, and now that I have released the release candidate versions, I thought about posting it on Hacker News for people to try it out.The thing that makes it stand out is its use of the Toybox userspace project, a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox and musl C library instead of the GNU C library. It also features a very minimal framework called AMPS (Automatically Mounted Packaging System) which mounts an external drive that functions as the non-volatile storage part of the OS. System configurations, applications/scripts etc. are all stored inside the /storage/AMPS directory. Since the base system is running on RAM, when the system is rebooted, the whole system gets wiped clean. But the external storage and configurations stay intact, allowing you to load your configurations easily.To access and edit these configurations, several custom TUI tools were made so the user doesn't have to mess around in /storage/AMPS/e

Show HN: MandoCode Desktop – Native Windows AI Coding Assistant on Ollama .NEThttps://github.com/DevMando/MandoCode.DesktopQuick backstory on how this version came to be: the original MandoCode is a CLI, and its UI is built with RazorConsole — Blazor components rendered into a terminal. Genuinely clever tech! I wanted tabs, though, and when I attended MS Build this year I got a good look at what WinUI apps could do and saw the potential to give the original agent some actual windows and tabs. Having up to 4 agents running in one window is pretty cool. Aside from that — tabs! I feel like everything is a chat these days, and for some reason my brain keeps screaming AGENTS, not chats, at me. I love the tabbed-browser experience a lot moreSome of the stuff I got to toy with once the plumbing worked:- Context snapshots — closing an agent archives the conversation instead of deleting it, and you can snapshot mid-conversation to get an AI-written recap you can hand to a different model or a fresh agent and have it pick up the thread. You pick the LLM from a dropdown right when you create the snapshot.- Transcript

MaiaSpace Ditches Suborbital Test Flight Planshttps://europeanspaceflight.com/maiaspace-ditches-suborbital-test-flight-plans/MaiaSpace has scrapped plans to conduct a suborbital test flight of its Maia rocket, opting instead to proceed straight to a full orbital launch attempt for the vehicle’s inaugural flight in the second half of 2027. Under its initial development roadmap, the ArianeGroup subsidiary would have flown a full two-stage Maia vehicle with a reduced […] The post MaiaSpace Ditches Suborbital Test Flight Plans appeared first on European Spaceflight.

NASA Webb Explores Family Tree of Newly Discovered Distant Objectshttps://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasa-webb-explores-family-tree-of-newly-discovered-distant-objects/Since their discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, little red dots (LRDs) have been the subject of great interest to astronomers. Understanding the nature of these extremely distant, compact red sources has been a puzzling scientific endeavor. One popular theory is that little red dots are supermassive black holes known as active […]

Spin audit of SQD/QSCI quantum-chemistry benchmarks on iron–sulfur clustershttps://zenodo.org/records/21359923Author here.Background, for anyone who hasn't followed this fight: IBM's iron–sulfur SQD results (Sci. Adv. 2025) are one of the flagship "quantum computers are useful for chemistry now" claims, and a published critique (arXiv:2501.07231) argues the quantum samples never beat classical selected-CI at matched cost. That argument is still live.Both sides have been arguing about energies. Neither measured which electronic state these calculations actually converge to.So I measured it. ⟨S²⟩ comes out between 4.7 and 7.0 depending on the system and the subspace size, where the target these papers name is a singlet at ⟨S²⟩ = 0. Every starting guess I tried lands in the same place, and the error at convergence is about the size of the spin-state ladder itself, which is the physics under dispute.IBM ships a mitigation for this. Run exactly as shipped, using their driver, their recovery loop and their own spin_square() diagnostic, it moves the ground energy by under a nanohartree while making t

Show HN: Shoebox Plus Organizer – search, sort, and filter your Ancestry Shoeboxhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/shoebox-plus-organizer/ncmfpkikgbnacbiipnbnfdohjpbgjjkhAs a genealogist for nearly two decades, including a stint as a Research Manager for Ancestry's research arm, AncestryProGenealogists, I have heard colleagues and clients alike complain about the "Shoebox," an Ancestry record bookmarking tool, lacking a mechanism to search, sort, and filter content. Once you've saved a few hundred documents, you must endure an endless paginated scroll, 25 records at a time.My solution: Shoebox Plus Organizer — a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that loads every page of your Shoebox in the background, then provides live full-text search, date sorting, and record-type filtering, all client-side over the DOM that's already rendered on the page.Everything runs on-device. No servers, no external API calls, no analytics. There's nowhere for the data to go. It doesn't scrape or automate faster than a human clicking through pages. Shoebox Plus Organizer reformats what's already loaded. Works across all 11 international Ancestry sites (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .
