Sally kohn: in large doses, persistent loneliness can be genuinely ruinous. she says we want "socially embedded care that truly nourishes us" but loneliness is corrective feedback, a nudge, pushing us toward connection, she writes - and it's humane to offer comfort to those who need it most. "loneliness" is not the end of the world, but the beginning, says author kath
TELO Trucks makes the world's most efficient EV pickup, the MT1, with Toyota Tacoma capability and Tesla-like range in a compact footprint. The MT1 features a 350-mile range, 106 kWh battery, and advanced safety technology for practical comfort and effortless utility.
Cornell researchers have developed a method to "watermark" light in videos, allowing detection of fake or manipulated footage. The method embeds a secret code in lighting, which can be used to reveal malicious editing and identify unmanipulated footage.
The /o regex modifier in Ruby causes a regular expression to be evaluated only once, even if it's inside an instance method or loop, due to the once instruction in the Ruby VM. This can lead to non-deterministic behavior and thread safety issues, making it generally not recommended to use the /o modifier.

Great Question is hiring a Director of Engineering to lead a high-performing team, scale systems, and drive technical excellence in a fast-growing B2B SaaS company. The ideal candidate has experience leading engineering teams in high-growth environments and can balance technical expertise with business acumen.
A developer built a JavaScript library to solve the issue of applying Icelandic name declension rules to personal names stored in the nominative case, using a trie-like data structure to encode the rules and achieve a small bundle size. The library, called beygla, uses a compressed trie to predict declension patterns for not-before-seen names with a high degree of accuracy, and is used in ...
The user has been using Claude Code and found it to be a transformative tool that has significantly increased their productivity and ability to tackle complex tasks, allowing them to focus on higher-level thinking and creativity.

Keygen music player supports .mod, .xm, .s3m, and .it formats with no illegal content. It has media key controls and a playlist feature.
The origin of life on Earth via the spontaneous emergence of a protocell prior to Darwinian evolution remains a fundamental open question in physics and chemistry. Here, we develop a conceptual framework based on information theory and algorithmic complexity. Using estimates grounded in modern computational models, we evaluate the difficulty of assembling structured biological information ...
The user tried to create a perfect Rubik's cube scramble that meets specific requirements and found a solution after 5 days of running a program that evaluated over 88 million corner piece arrangements and nearly a trillion edge piece arrangements. The solution is unique and produces 48 arrangements when applied in different positions, and the user suggests that relaxing one of the existing ...
Unikernels are compact, single-application virtual machines that provide a lightweight and secure environment for applications to run without the overhead of traditional operating systems. They are well-suited for modern environments that require fast boot times, low resource consumption, and efficient data processing, but come with challenges such as complexity in development and ...
A Firefox extension and Go backend automatically archive YouTube videos when visited by detecting video IDs and downloading them using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. The downloaded videos are saved in MOV format with h264_videotoolbox encoding in the ./data/ directory.
A professor mentioned that random eviction policy for caches isn't bad, and a 2-random policy (choosing between two random choices and then using LRU) performs similarly to LRU.
Microsoft is making WinUI more open, but it's a complex process due to its connections with proprietary OS layers. The company plans to incrementally open-source WinUI in four phases over the next six months.
Have you ever wanted to reverse engineer an analog chip from a die photo? Wanted to understand what's inside the "black box" of an integrated circuit? In this article, I explain my reverse engineering process, using the Philips TDA7000 FM radio receiver chip as an example. This chip was the first FM radio receiver on a chip.1 It was designed in 1977—an era of large transistors and ...
After each guess, you'll see if your answer was too high (arrow pointing down) or too low (arrow pointing up). The feedback color shows how close you are: orange means your guess is within ±50% of the correct answer, red means it is further away.
YAML syntax highlighting supports 50+ built-in languages and custom languages via yaml-embedded-languages.include. Language identifiers can be specified via comments for single blocks or extension names for multiple blocks.
The author's father was diagnosed with dementia after a wandering incident and received long-term care insurance payments after a 90-day elimination period. The author shares lessons learned from navigating the LTC insurance claims process, including the importance of documentation and working with an insurance agent.
Cerebras Code Pro ($50/month) and Code Max ($200/month) offer instant code generation with Qwen3-Coder, a 480B model. Both plans support up to 1,000 daily messages and no proprietary IDE lock-in.
Beds of clams, mats of bacteria that look like ice and fields of tube worms - these are just some examples of the strange, extreme life that an expedition to the deepest parts of the ocean has observed, filmed and photographed. Diving in a human-occupied submersible to ocean trenches in the northwest Pacific Ocean, a Chinese-led research team captured pictures of life at depths of more than ...
Let us finally look at what is so wrong with the Iceberg spec and why this simply isn't a serious attempt at solving the metadata problem of large Data Lakes. In the first part of this series, I took us back in history to learn some lessons from the past. I made it clear that I am 100% in favour of open formats across the entire stack. I am particularly excited about using Parquet as a ...

David W. Hill, former lead designer of ThinkPad, worked on the iconic laptop for 22 years, introducing features like the butterfly keyboard and TrackPoint nub. He also developed the ThinkLight overhead light and influenced the design of the TrackPoint.
The graphics of the commodore pet 2001 are strictly character-based. there is no bitmap plane, nor anything resembling a sprites, and there are no raster interrupts, either - elder0010 explains in accompanying note: "a bright shining star" the demo is loaded between $02c0/$55e9 and uses hi-res to control individual dots on the screen in 9 character by 5
The user built a retro gaming computer called Coffeematic PC by repurposing a 1970s General Electric coffee maker and combining it with mid-2000s computer hardware and a unique hot Java cooling system. Coffeematic PC is part of a lineage of coffee maker computers that spans 22 years, with a 15-year gap in the middle, and inspired an art exhibition called Sparklines that explores the history ...
