Infinite Mac OS X

tl;dr: Infinite Mac can now run early Mac OS X, with 10.1 and 10.3 being the best supported versions.

The Robinhood founder who might just revolutionize energy (if he succeeds)

When Baiju Bhatt stepped away from his role as Chief Creative Officer at Robinhood last year, only those close to him could have predicted his next move: launching a space company built around tech that the aerospace industry has largely dismissed, and which might be more groundbreaking than anyone realizes. If people aren’t paying much attention, that’s just fine with Bhatt, who co-founded the trading app in 2013, five years after earning his master’s degree in mathematics at Stanford. It mean

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it! Lag compensation, prediction/reconciliation, etc. I'm not going to do a detailed tutorial on these points, as there are tons of them already, but to give you an idea of the principle: when a client computer pe

Star Quakes and Monster Shock Waves

Like the simulation depicting how a neutron star cracks, this one also predicts the characteristics of the resulting flares astronomers might see through telescopes. In the fleeting moments when monster shock waves rip outward and a black hole pulsar forms, telescopes may be able to catch outbursts of radio waves or a combination of X-rays and gamma rays. In short, the simulations performed by Most and colleagues provide a deeper understanding of the physics driving some of the most energetic ev

Public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature

public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature Regular code using this interface works great: Users can write generic code that works for any Vehicle, and use a Car with that code.

Omega-3s: Benefits, Drawbacks and Foods to Add to Your Diet

You probably know at least one person who takes fish oil to boost their omega-3s, which are said to benefit heart, eye and cognitive health. But what exactly are omega-3s?
