Our website looks like an operating system

I have a problem with many large, technical websites. Often times, I’ll want to refer to different pages at the same time. So I’ll CMD + click “a couple times” while browsing around and before I know it, I have 12 new tabs open – all indistinguishable from each other because they share the same favicon. PostHog.com has the same problem – especially as the site has grown from supporting a handful of paid products to over a dozen. As I looked for ways to solve this explosion of pages, I started

Daily Hub is a terrible Pixel 10 feature. Here’s what Google needs to do to fix it

Joe Maring / Android Authority Daily Hub is one of the biggest new software features on the Google Pixel 10 series. And as you might have heard by now, it’s already being killed — at least temporarily. This week, Google announced that it was temporarily pausing Daily Hub as it works to “enhance its performance and refine the personalized experience.” The pitch for Daily Hub was that it would be a central place to see a glanceable overview of your day, but as we quickly discovered, Daily Hub’s

The Helix Text Editor (2024)

I’ve come to accept that I’m just a sucker for shiny nerd things. I use Rust, despite never having had a professional reason to use it in my life. I switched to Linux in my student years and I’ve never looked back since, even though it constantly breaks and I can’t get my Bluetooth headphones to connect. I have a split keyboard with home row mods set up because I read some random blog posts and it looked cool to me. I literally learned to program because I figured I should learn how to do more n

Mark Hamill Is Embracing His Villain Era

In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Star Wars‘ Mark Hamill unpacked his recent resurgence in popularity, stating, “I certainly didn’t expect to have this sudden burst of life so late in the game. I should be spending time wandering the beaches with a metal detector. I can’t explain why, all of a sudden, I have five features this year.” As the actor notes, “There was a point about five years ago where I thought that it’s not easy getting older, and it’s even harder when you’re doing

This New Korean Rom-Com Feels Like a Throwback '80s Teen Movie in the Best Way

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures. While we've evolved since then (at least a tiny bit), there's something about some of those now-classic '80s movies that remains endearing even if some of the characters and plot details feel problematic or downright silly by today's standards. Don't mi

IDC: Apple gained wearables market share, but sales lagged behind competitors during Q2

IDC’s report on worldwide “wrist-worn” devices for the second quarter of 2025 is out, and it shows mixed results for the Apple Watch. Here is the breakdown. Xiaomi leads in growth, while Samsung lags behind During the second quarter last year, IDC determined that Apple had shipped 5.7 million Apple Watch units, falling closely behind Xiaomi’s 5.9 million shipped units and further behind Huawei’s 8.9 million. That difference was mirrored in market share as well, with Huawei taking the top spot

The DOJ sues Uber (again) for allegedly discriminating against people with disabilities

The US Department of Justice sued Uber on Thursday over disability discrimination… again. The lawsuit claims the company and its drivers "routinely refuse to serve individuals with disabilities." It specifically calls out its handling of passengers with service animals or stowable wheelchairs. The suit was filed in federal court in Northern California. "Despite the importance of its services to people with disabilities, Uber denies people with disabilities full and equal enjoyment of its servic

Rails on SQLite: new ways to cause outages

Rails on SQLite: exciting new ways to cause outages This post was originally given as a talk for Friendly.rb. The slides are also available. Between Litestack and the Rails 8 trifecta of Solid Cable, Solid Cache, and Solid Queue, it’s easier than ever to spin up a Rails app that doesn’t need a database service, or a redis service, or a file storage service. It’s great to simplify things, but even after 20 years of deploying Rails apps I was still caught out by some of the ways things are diffe

Alphabet's Verily covered up HIPAA violations, whistleblower says in lawsuit

Alphabet's health tech subsidiary Verily used the health data of more than 25,000 patients without authorization and actively covered up those violations, a former company executive alleges. The executive, Ryan Sloan, claims Verily fired him after he discovered breaches of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, and reported his concerns to the company's senior management. Patient data in the U.S. is protected under HIPAA, which ensures the sensitive information cann

Brazil's Supreme Court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup

A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy. Justice Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha ruled on ​Thursday that Bolsonaro – a former paratrooper who was elected president in 2018 – was guilty of seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing the 2022 election, meaning three of the five judges involved in the t

Behind the scenes of Bun Install

Running bun install is fast, very fast. On average, it runs ~7× faster than npm, ~4× faster than pnpm, and ~17× faster than yarn. The difference is especially noticeable in large codebases. What used to take minutes now takes (milli)seconds. These aren't just cherry-picked benchmarks. Bun is fast because it treats package installation as a systems programming problem, not a JavaScript problem. In this post we’ll explore what that means: from minimizing syscalls and caching manifests as binary,

Justice Department sues Uber for allegedly discriminating against people with disabilities

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Uber, accusing the ride-hailing company of violating federal law by discriminating against people with physical disabilities. In particular, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) civil rights division claims that the company and its drivers “routinely refuse to serve individuals with disabilities, including individuals who travel with service animals or who use stowable wheelchairs.” Uber is also accused of charging extra fees on riders who n

Apple's Live Translation Tool Won't Be Available to EU-Based AirPods Owners

Apple's new Live Translation tool for AirPods was one of many announcements that piqued our excitement during the iPhone 17 launch event earlier this week. But if you're based in the EU, you should temper your expectations about its imminent availability. It seems that European users, despite living in a region of rich linguistic diversity, will not have access to this feature. According to Apple's feature accessibility listings, first spotted by MacRumors: "Live Translation with AirPods is not

Is Hollow Knight: Silksong too hard? Well, it depends on what you mean by “hard.”

For seven years, the discussion around Hollow Knight: Silksong focused on the cult-like levels of devotion among fans patiently waiting for the sequel. Now that Silksong has been available for about a week, though, that discussion has turned decisively toward seemingly endless takes on the game's relative difficulty (or lack thereof). The discussion has gotten so loud that the developers at Team Cherry have vowed to implement a "slight difficulty reduction in early game bosses Moorwing and Siste

Gmail will now filter your purchases into a new tab

Google is rolling out an update for Gmail on mobile and the web that will make it easier to track emails for your deliveries. The most prominent change you'll see is a new Purchases tab, where Gmail will put all your delivery emails so you can view them in one place. In the app, you'll be able to access the new view via the side menu. Just click the hamburger icon in the text box at the top of the interface. Even though deliveries now have their own tab, Gmail will still show packages that are
