gizmodo.com David Alff 2025-08-15 10:55:33

When former President Joe Biden unveiled his US$1.9 trillion infrastructure plan in 2021, he found the perfect place to go public: Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station rail yard. Over the din of crackling wires and grumbling engines, the president made his case for revitalizing the country’s roads, ports, airports and rail lines. Behind Biden sat rows of gleaming Amtrak trains. Among them was a prototype of NextGen Acela, a sleek machine engineered to deliver the fastest passenger service in Ame

White Mountain Direttissima I first attempted this route in 2016. While doing it in an unsupported style (carrying all my own food & gear), I did invite friends out to join me and also cached battery bricks so that I could document the effort. I finished in just under six days. I knew there was a lot of time for improvement but didn't feel the desire to return until last summer (2024). My 2024 effort would build on everything I had learned and experienced since 2016. I had better endurance, an

Universal Pictures has just given us a new look at its upcoming sports horror film, Him, which points the spotlight squarely at the ritualistic hazing of sports bros. Set to the horror-movie-trailer-ified sound of rapper Tupac’s “Hail Mary,” the new look at Him showcases how the fusion of its horror-meets-sports look will come to life in director Justin Tipping and producer Jordan Peele‘s new joint.

Hexatetrahedral Rails

Software is a creative endeavor and a craft. And like any creative endeavor and any craft, it is subject to fashions. About a decade ago, one of those fashions was Hexagonal Rails largely inspired by the DDD book, but also by the original Hexagonal Architecture work by Dr. Cockburn. Some of these applications are now up for their Rails upgrade and an “oil change,” and it’s interesting to see them in the wild and how they get perceived through the lens of the years that have gone by since then.
