Looks like Apple has its first bona fide box office hit. The company has already produced critically-acclaimed and award-winning films for Apple TV+. In fact, while Netflix has reportedly spent millions on its Oscar campaigns, Apple’s “Coda” remains the only movie produced by a streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It has, however, been a different story at the box office — at best, returns have fallen short of ambitious budgets, and with “Argylle,” the company had a spe

Apple Original Films just had its biggest theatrical debut ever, with F1 The Movie. The movie reportedly had a budget of $300 million, which puts it in the same territory as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But how big must the premiere box office be to count as a blockbuster in 2025? We did the math. Unlike these mega-franchises, F1 is trying to launch a new movie IP, and it’s doing so with a tech company behind the wheel. Or is it Apple who is trying to

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

§Subsecond: Hot-patching for Rust Subsecond is a library that enables hot-patching for Rust applications. This allows you to change the code of a running application without restarting it. This is useful for game engines, servers, and other long-running applications where the typical edit-compile-run cycle is too slow. Subsecond also implements a technique we call “ThinLinking” which makes compiling Rust code significantly faster in development mode, which can be used outside of hot-patching.
