‘The Long Walk’ Star Garrett Wareing on His Character’s Big Surprise

Now that The Long Walk is in theaters, members of its ensemble cast are free to talk spoilers. The movie, based on Stephen King’s story, revolves around a literal death march, so it’s not surprising that not all of the stars make it to the finish line. The brutal twists come with what order they go down—and at least one other surprising nuggets shared along the way. In a new interview with Deadline, Garrett Wareing, who plays Billy Stebbins, talked about his experiences on the film as well as w

My first impressions of Gleam

I’m looking for a new programming language to learn this year, and Gleam looks like the most fun. It’s an Elixir-like language that supports static typing.

I don't like curved displays

Decades-Old Waste Barrels Are Creating Toxic Dead Zones off LA’s Coast
