Hey buddy,

Man, Hacker News today had some pretty wild stuff, figured I'd give you the quick rundown while it's fresh.

Fast Websites Are a Vibe

First up, there was this post called "Fast" about this super quick website. People were losing their minds over how fast it loaded. Like, seriously, one guy in the comments, nakedneuron, said he goes to comments first on HN just because they load fast, but this site was even faster than that! It really highlights how much we take slow software for granted. Someone else even mentioned how old Slashdot used to be super fast before all the "Web 2.0" and "mobile-first" hype slowed everything down. Kinda makes you think, huh?

Big Earthquake Alert

Then, on a more serious note, there was a heads-up about a massive M8.7 earthquake in the Western Pacific with a tsunami warning. Scary stuff. People in the comments were talking about how underwater geography can make tsunami waves way bigger, like a "wall of water." Just a reminder of how powerful nature is.

Oxide Computer Snags $100M

Speaking of big deals, Oxide Computer just raised a whopping $100 million Series B. Remember them? They're the ones trying to sell actual server hardware that you own, instead of just renting cloud stuff. The comments were all about that "own vs. rent" debate in tech. Seems like there's a big market for companies who want control over their own stack for security or regulatory reasons. Deep pockets, apparently!

Sleep and Your Mitochondria

This one was pretty cool: a science post titled "Sleep all comes down to the mitochondria." You know, the "powerhouses of the cell"? Apparently, how well they work is super tied into your sleep and energy. Someone in the comments even mentioned a clear link between mitochondrial dysfunction and things like Alzheimer's and dementia. Makes you wanna hit the hay early, for real.

"Vibe Code" is the New "Legacy Code"

Okay, this one hit home for me: "Vibe code is legacy code." Basically, it's code where you can't figure out *why* it was written that way, or the reasons are just missing. It's all about the "vibe" but no actual documentation or clear logic. Someone pointed out that a lot of maintenance problems come from skipping things like proper CI validations, code reviews, and good design patterns from the start. Definitely something to keep in mind for our projects, man.

The Mosquito Bucket of Death

This was a wild one, but practical: "Try the Mosquito Bucket of Death." It's a DIY trap to kill mosquito larvae. People in the comments had all sorts of other ideas too, like using mosquitofish (which apparently eat 300-400 larvae a day!) or even barn swallows, which eat a ton of insects. Good info for summer.

Australia's Social Media Ban for Teens

Lastly, Australia is widening its social media ban for teens to include YouTube and scrapping some exemptions. It's a pretty hot topic. Some people in the comments were saying social media is just bad for us generally and needs to go, while others were worried about governments having too much control. Always a debate, right?

Alright, that's the quick download for today. Talk soon!
