Early offense lifts Twins past Atlanta againhttps://sports.yahoo.com/articles/early-offense-lifts-twins-past-020800078.htmlScoring runs early is no guarantee of success, as the Minnesota Twins have proven recently this season. But on Tuesday, for the second game in a row, a crooked number on the first inning scoreboard proved to be enough. The Twins got a first-inning, two-run home run from Josh Bell to supply all the offense they would eventually need on the way to beating the Atlanta Braves 4-1 at Target Field ...Aug 19, 2026 2:08 AM

Show HN: Automatically detect and patch walking-dead states in Sierra gameshttps://github.com/katiahayati/lucasartsifier/Hi HN, I've become lazier in my old age and struggle to replay my favorite Sierra games from the 80s and 90s because I keep getting into those situations where I need an item from 3 acts ago, I have no save game handy, and now I gotta make dinner.So I'm building the Lucasartsifier: a static analysis tool that decompiles Sierra resource files, automatically finds those states, automatically generates code to prevent the player from getting into those states, then emits loose patch files that can be placed alongside the original game resources. There's no game-specific code involved; all the logic is generic, though of course Sierra introduces new idioms and mechanics in every game so every new supported game needs a bunch of engine work.So for example in Leisure Suit Larry 2, the patched game prevents you from boarding the cruise ship until you have both the sunscreen and the Grotesque Gulp. Without them you die on the raft 3 play-hours later.So far this works on Leisure Suit Larry 2 (SAug 19, 2026 1:58 AM

Show HN: My agents kept hallucinating APIs, so I built them a headless IDEhttps://context-engine.appI built Context Engine last year mostly out of frustration. Agents impressed me and made me angry at the same time: they kept calling APIs that don't exist, re-implementing APIs already defined in the codebase, and getting stuck in write-compile-rewrite loops. Sometimes they seemed very intelligent and sometimes extremely stupid. But they aren't stupid: take any brilliant engineer, give them a whiteboard, and ask them to implement a new feature in a large codebase they have never seen. And for agents, every session is a project they have never seen.The problem is that agents lack proper tooling. They work with plain text, like human engineers in 1995, in the pre-IDE era, and they face the same problems engineers faced 30 years ago. Where a human engineer just hovers over a symbol or presses F12, an agent spends thousands of tokens to get the same result. So I built the IDE part they were missing, without the editor part they don't need — an IDE headless in the same sense as a headless Aug 18, 2026 2:01 PM
