The wait is nearly over; new episodes of the hit sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror are about to drop.

"You can expect a mix of genres and styles," Brooker teased during Netflix's Geeked Week fan event in September. "We've got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some

The first time Parks Stephenson saw a full-scale digital rendering of the Titanic lying on the ocean floor, he felt like he was looking at the ship in a whole new light -- despite having visited the actual wreckage multiple times. "You can only see so much in the deep with your light and the framing of your camera or your viewport," Stephenson, a Titanic analyst and deep-ocean explorer, told me over Zoom. But by looking at a life-size 3D model of the ship displayed on towering LED screens, "I w

The GoRuck GR1 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the pack that launched the company, and still the best and most versatile of the GoRuck lineup. The GR1 comes in 2 sizes: 21L and 26L, I have both, but if I had to pick only one, it would be the 21L. This is the perfect size for rucking, everyday carry, and weekend trips if you pack light.

In brief: President Trump's 104% tariff on goods imported from China is now in effect. It will have an enormous impact on many US firms, especially Apple, which relies heavily on China to manufacture its iPhones. Trump believes the solution is to start making the handsets in the US, but that would be nearly impossible, especially in the short term. And even if it were, iPhones would likely become much more expensive. Trump has said that if companies want to avoid the tariffs placed on countries

Despite being around for several decades, the technology still enjoys widespread use, is still evolving, and retains certain advantages over optical and solid-state media. DOGE recently announced that it has replaced 14,000 magnetic storage tapes used by the US General Services Administration (USGSA) with unspecified "modern" digital formats.

If only we had a chance to attract a large army of passionate Rust professionals... So, I decided that we must add Rust to ClickHouse.
