arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-21 21:37:24

The Senate Republicans' version of President Trump's tax bill would slash federal spending on health provisions—Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act—by $1.1 trillion by 2034. And in that time, an estimated 11.8 million people would lose their health insurance. That’s according to an analysis released over the weekend by the Congressional Budget Office. The massive piece of legislation is likely to change as senators are currently running a "vote-a-rama" for rapid-fire amendment propo

Asynchronous Error Handling Is Hard

(Ed. note: This article was originally published on The CUDA Handbook blog on November 2, 2023.) Every API designer has struggled with the question of how best to propagate errors to their callers, since before the term “API” was invented. Even decades ago (say 30+ years), interface designers knew to separate the error return from the payload, in functions that return other results to their caller. Since it is sometimes useful to know what not to do: My favorite example of an antipattern in th

Donkey Kong Country 2 and Open Bus

Donkey Kong Country 2 has a pretty well-known bug in the old SNES emulator ZSNES where some stages have spinning barrels that don’t work properly. One of the earliest pictured here, in the first stage of Krem Quay (third world): After you jump into the barrel, you’re supposed to be able to completely control its rotation by pressing left and right on the d-pad, with the barrel only rotating while you’re holding left or right.
