androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-19 10:40:41

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has reportedly reduced the budget for its smart TV group by 10%. Despite the reduction, the company promises “an exciting road map ahead.” Up to a quarter of the members of the 300-strong group could be impacted by the change. Google has not made it particularly easy to be a fan of Android TV. While the platform is absolutely chock-full of potential, it’s been incredibly frustrating to see it treated like such an afterthought, year after year. Why

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

news.ycombinator.com Steve Dignam 2026-03-19 09:09:21

I’ve been working on Squawk for a while, it’s a linter for PostgreSQL, and it now uses a handmade parser. So let’s explore some interesting bits from the Postgres grammar. Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators. For example, Postgres uses <-> for comparing geometric types, along with a whole host of others: ## , @-@ , # , @> , <@> , &< , &> , |>> , |<< , <^ , >^ , ?- , ?| , ?|| , ~= . Note: custom operator

Low WiFi in a large house can be quite frustrating, particularly when your ISP router is not powerful enough to cover all parts of it. Instead of relying on an average box that has a tendency of creating dead spots and lagging connections, it is worth investing in a more powerful system from a trusted brand like TP-Link.

This wasn’t a falling out between the two titans in tech, but rather the result of something altogether stranger.

So far the marketing for Weapons is looking like 2025’s slightly more accessible answer to last year’s Longlegs: freaky and distressing, and promising exponentially more of the same from the feature itself. A first trailer gave a little more insight into the movie’s plot, and a retro-styled website plays up its true-crime angle. Now Weapons is back with a second clip to set the dread-filled mood even more. We see a bewildered teacher (Julia Garner) being blamed for a class of missing kids, with

MIT engineers use 3D-printed steel to repair corroded bridge

Getting them back in good standing would cost north of $191 billion – no small chunk of change.
