the brief

A quiet, practitioner-focused day leaned toward nuts-and-bolts. Solid guides arrived for AMD Strix Halo RDMA clustering and choosing trustworthy DNS resolvers, while Decomp Academy offered a hands-on path into decompilation craft. On the cultural side, Pragmatic Engineer spotlighted takedown attempts that test how resilient tech reporting remains in search ecosystems.

Decomp Academy teaches GameCube decompilation
A new, hands-on curriculum for matching C decompilation of GameCube titles, covering toolchains, assembly reading, and workflows—useful reverse-engineering skills extending well beyond retro games.
Show HN: Decomp Academy – Learn to decompile GameCube games into matching C — Over the past few months I've been heavily involved in the decompilation community. I've been hands-on decompiling a beloved game from my childhood (Star Fox Adventures). I started this journey with zero prior decomp experience—and to make things worse I had never really touched C nor assembly either. Learning how to decompile was challenging. It's difficult to find any good learning resources for it and any open-so...

Pragmatic Engineer on Pollen takedown push
Gergely Orosz details attempts to suppress his 2022 Pollen exposé via legal and search processes, raising concerns about platform-enabled memory-holing of critical investigative reporting.
Pollen tried to remove my article about Callum Negus-Fancey, and Google is assisting to it — In 2022, I wrote about the damning fall of events tech company Pollen, founded by Callum Negus-Fancey. The short of it: Pollen seemed to have pulled off the improbable feat of building a business in the notoriously low margin industry of events, surviving Covid-19, and building a solid
