Electric cars produce far less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars Published: 2025-07-24 | Origin: Hacker News A commenter on Electrek highlighted that air pollution goes beyond just vehicle exhaust, pointing out the impact of brake dust. Research led by EIT Urban Mobility in cities like London, Milan, and Barcelona shows that battery-electric cars produce 83% less brake dust compared to those with combustion engines. This finding shifts focus to non-exhaust emissions, which are crucial for urban air quality. Electric vehicles utilize regenerative braking, allowing them to slow down by converting energy back to the battery rather than relying on traditional |

Purple Earth hypothesis Published: 2025-07-24 | Origin: Hacker News The Purple Earth Hypothesis (PEH), proposed by Shiladitya DasSarma in 2007, suggests that the earliest photosynthetic life on Earth utilized retinal instead of chlorophyll, resulting in a purplish biosphere between 3.5 and 2.4 billion years ago. This time frame predates significant events like the Great Oxygenation Event and the Huronian glaciation. Retinal pigments absorb light primarily in the green-yellow region, reflecting red and blue light |

Code Reloading for Rack Apps Published: 2025-07-23 | Origin: /r/ruby The author predominantly works with Ruby on Rails applications but is currently developing a Ruby application on Rack, which is faster but lacks some conveniences provided by Rails, such as automatic code reloading. They discuss the limitations of the Zeitwerk code loader, which requires manual reloading and is not thread-safe, making it complicated when using web servers like Puma that utilize both threads and processes. The tutorial aims to address these challenges by combining Zeitwerk with the listen gem and concurrent-ruby to achieve effective code reloading |

Using Uninitialized Memory for Fun and Profit Published: 2025-07-23 | Origin: /r/programming The content discusses a clever programming trick involving the use of uninitialized array values, which allows code to function correctly and improve performance by changing some operations from linear to constant time. This technique is referenced in works by Alfred Aho, John Hopcroft, and Jeffrey Ullman, as well as Jon Bentley. The main focus is on efficiently representing a sparse set of integers, which is typically done using a bit vector. This allows for fast operations to add, remove, or check integers. However, iter |

AI overviews cause massive drop in search clicks Published: 2025-07-23 | Origin: Hacker News The Pew Research Center's analysis indicates that AI features in Google's search results are negatively impacting web traffic. Following Google's implementation of AI Overviews, or "search generative experience," in May 2023, there has been a significant drop in clicks on search results. The report found that searches without AI responses had a click rate of 15%, while those with AI Overviews saw this rate decrease to 8%. Despite Google's assertion that users still click on links provided in AI Overviews, Pew's |

What is X-Forwarded-For and when can you trust it? Published: 2025-07-23 | Origin: /r/programming The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header is essential for revealing the original IP address of clients in web requests, particularly when those requests pass through multiple intermediaries like servers, proxies, or load balancers. Without this header, the receiving server would only see the last intermediary's IP address. The X-Forwarded-For header allows intermediaries to provide the complete history of how the request was routed, helping backend applications identify the true client origin. The last proxy in the |
