Hacker Noon

I always wanted to do YouTube but hated the part after recording: rewatching a 20-30 minute video once to find my mistakes, then again to pull shorts out of it. It made me quit more than once. I even tried building an AI auto editor, but it never hit the quality I wanted. So I made Markr instead, a...

What if I told you Desmos has everything you need to build a working arcade game? State variables, conditional logic, randomization, and even clickable objects. No JavaScript. No libraries. Just math doing things math was never meant to do.

You are ruining your vector search by blindly slicing text into arbitrary character limits. This article explains why standard chunking fails and provides a runnable, dependency-free Python script for context-aware sentence grouping that you can test right now.

The hours-saved business case will be enough to get approved. Use it. But you’ll see other benefits later, and you should track them so the next person doesn’t have to relitigate the case from scratch.

Xbox's future is shrouded in uncertainty. Could we be looking at the end of its console era?

A Proxmox homelab suffered months of crashes, segfaults, and VM freezes before the real cause emerged: a defective Intel i7-13700K CPU.

AI power is shifting from model access to deployment control as cloud, chips, energy and governance become the real strategic battlegrounds.

Years of public tweets may have become AI training data without your knowledge. Deleting posts today does not necessarily remove them from datasets or AI models that already used them. Until better technical and legal solutions exist, managing your social media history is one of the most effective w...

Who controls your voice and your money online? A closer look at why new tools are reshaping both, and what that could mean for you.

NBA Top Shot, built by Dapper Labs on the Flow, has migrated all Moment media assets to IPFS. Videos, thumbnails, and metadata are now independently verifiable through decentralized, content-addressed storage. Collectors can authenticate assets without relying on Dapper Labs, creating a new standard...

This article introduces the official CSC GitHub Template, a repository scaffold designed to help human developers and AI coding agents share a consistent understanding of system constraints, intent, and operational procedures. Built around the Agentic Trivium of CONTRACT.md, WHY.md, and QUICKSTART.m...

Three startups—RoyFlow, Skyrim Wellbeing Manager, and Spawnr—featured in HackerNoon Projects of the Week for proving real-world usefulness.

Trust Wallet now supports bStocks, tokenized US securities issued on BNB Chain, accessible directly from the wallet with no traditional brokerage account. Five assets are live at launch: NVDAB (Nvidia), TSLAB (Tesla), CRCLB (Circle Internet Group), MUB (Micron Technology), and SNDKB (SanDisk Corpora...

DinkToPdf is easy to use, but its wkhtmltopdf engine raises maintenance, security, and rendering questions for .NET teams in 2026.

DeepSecrets 2.0 introduces improvements in secret detection that go beyond regex and entropy-based scanning. The open-source tool achieves 93% recall and 69% precision on SecretBench, outperforming GitLeaks and other scanners while uncovering more than 66,000 additional secret locations that benchma...

Kualitee has launched Hootie Copilot, an AI feature built into its test management platform that converts validated test cases into executable automation scripts in minutes. The release targets one of QA’s biggest bottlenecks: manual script creation and maintenance. Teams can generate, execute, rege...

Language models are stateless compute engines. To build fluid, multi-turn AI assistants at enterprise scale, you have to build the memory yourself. This deep-dive explores how to architect backend context propagation pipelines, avoid hot partitions, manage strict token budgets, and use event-driven...

America’s toughest economic challenges, from workforce shortages to small business fragility and regional innovation gaps, increasingly require collaboration between government and the private sector. Through Public Private Strategies, Rhett Buttle has championed partnerships that connect policy des...

This article revisits Bertrand Meyer's Design by Contract framework through the lens of AI-assisted software development. It argues that classical contracts implicitly assume collaborators possess persistent contextual memory, an assumption that breaks down when stateless AI agents become primary co...

A contained honeypot impersonating a small internet-facing energy site collected 54 days of traffic – roughly 1.7 million events from 16,568 unique sources, discovered within the first hour. Most was commodity automation, but a thin tail spoke real Modbus, including 392 device-identity reads with ze...

Union-Find is fast, but it breaks for real-world entity resolution because it cannot handle safeguards, reversals, or ambiguous matches. A weighted graph approach with constraints, abstention, and incremental updates works much better at web scale.

Google’s quiet thrift-shopping update hints at a larger shift in search, where traffic, value, and commerce are pulled away from the open web.

Indonesia is quietly building one of the world's most advanced crypto governance experiments, but not by choosing between Washington and Beijing, and rather, by combining retail adoption, state infrastructure and regulatory oversight.

Artificial intelligence today is controlled by a small number of centralized providers that dominate compute, storage, and inference. This creates risks like vendor lock-in, rising costs, and lack of transparency. This article explores a decentralized AI future where GPU networks, open inference sys...

Explore how to turn raw, unstructured documents into structured knowledge graphs using Gemini. This practical guide covers everything from initial prototyping and prompt optimization to scaling up for entire books or dense legal contracts.

AI coding agents often guess in large repos. MCP Server Toolkit gives them code, docs, database, and git context before they answer.

Not all interview questions help you understand how someone works. Some distract, distort, or miss the point.

inDrive built ExFig, an open-source Swift CLI that exports Figma design tokens and assets across iOS, Android, Flutter, Web, and Penpot. It started as a weekend fork of figma-export and grew into a production tool with Pkl configs, platform plugins, granular caching, MCP support, DocC docs, and a Gi...

The Internet Walks on a Pegleg Named Cloudflare: It quietly guards a fifth of the web, killed the CAPTCHA, declared war on Amazon's pricing, and is now building the plumbing for the entire AI age. So what happens the morning it trips?

A practical look at scaling breach-derived credential exposure data with storage tiers, indexing, deduplication, and ingestion trade-offs.

RAG pipelines are getting more and more popular with vector search at the core of them. However, vector search might not be just enough for high-quality retrieval.

Learn how to evaluate an npm package before installing it, from provenance and install scripts to maintenance, CI quality, and security signals.

A practitioner's analysis of friction points, mental model mismatches, and the path forward for serious Power Apps development.

Security is a habit of taking care of what you’ve built. It doesn’t demand perfection, only attention. Imperfect protection is better than none. And a tested backup is better than the illusion of stability. Sometimes, all it takes is one evening — make a backup, test restoring it, and finally sleep...

Synchronous multi-agent pipelines are too fragile and rigid to scale successfully in complex enterprise settings. Moving toward an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) solves this roadblock by completely decoupling agents through distributed message brokers like Apache Kafka. By leveraging event-driven c...
