Two long-form Zenn write-ups sit shoulder-to-shoulder with two NHK news items today — one a national-pride space moment, the other a quiet rural theft. The pairing is interesting: even meticulous engineering runs into encoding edge cases, and even small temples still hold things worth taking.

• Next.jsのpreloadが生成するHTTPヘッダーに日本語ファイル名が紛れて本番だけエラーが出た話 (Zennのトレンド) (In Japanese Language)
  The author chases a Cannot convert argument to a ByteString error that mysteriously showed up only in Next.js production builds, never in dev. Tracing it back leads through HTTP header encoding, Node.js undici internals, and dev-vs-prod environment differences — and the trigger turns out to be a Japanese-named image file slipping into preload headers.

• C++の謎めいたHello WorldをPythonで再実装して理解を深めよう (Zennのトレンド) (In Japanese Language)
  A reflective piece on how C++’s modern Hello World syntax — streams, std::endl, the whole ceremony — regularly confuses newcomers compared to friendlier languages. The author re-implements the same program in Python side-by-side to build intuition for the C++ version rather than rewrite it for its own sake.

• はやぶさ2が小惑星「トリフネ」に今夜 接近 高速で通過へ (NHKニュース) (In Japanese Language)
  Japan’s Hayabusa2 probe — which delivered asteroid samples back to Earth six years ago and has been cruising toward its next destination since — will perform a high-speed flyby of a different asteroid (named "Trifune") on the evening of the 5th.

• 岐阜 山県 洞泉寺で木製の仏像11体がなくなる 盗難被害か (NHKニュース) (In Japanese Language)
  Eleven wooden Buddhist statues have been discovered missing from Dosenshi Temple in Yamagata City, Gifu Prefecture. Police are treating the disappearance as a suspected theft and have opened an investigation.
