‘Solar Opposites’ Returns One Last Time This October

It’s very sad bidding farewell to Solar Opposites, but at least we get one more 10-episode season to enjoy before it wraps up its entertainingly bizarre mix of sci-fi antics, surreal subplots, crass jokes, wacky t-shirts, holiday specials, and sweet lessons about found family. And we won’t have to wait too long: season six hits Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting October 13. There’s an official description of the new season as well as a teaser, neither of which tell us much: “Once their alien di

Following a limited preview, Google has begun rolling out the feature to users in the US.

The People Behind the Most Accurate Game Boy Recreation Are Making an N64

Neil Armstrong's customs form for moon rocks (2016)

by Barbara Blum If you have ever traveled overseas, then returned to the U.S., you likely filled out a “customs declaration” form on the airplane: “Are you bringing with you: plants, food, animals, soil, disease agents, cell cultures or snails? Declare all articles that you have acquired and are bringing into the United States.” Who would have guessed the regulations would have been enforced so rigorously in 1969 when three men returned to the U.S. from a rather long business trip – to

Interactive Programming in C (2014)

December 23, 2014 nullprogram.com/blog/2014/12/23/ I’m a huge fan of interactive programming (see: JavaScript, Java, Lisp, Clojure). That is, modifying and extending a program while it’s running. For certain kinds of non-batch applications, it takes much of the tedium out of testing and tweaking during development. Until last week I didn’t know how to apply interactive programming to C. How does one go about redefining functions in a running C program? Last week in Handmade Hero (days 21-25),

Time is running out to save on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th. As you might expect, each re

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Could've Been Incredible. Here's Why It's Not

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the latest high-profile Soulslike game, this time coming from Chinese developer Leenzee. Unlike some of the most recent Soulslike releases, Wuchang is more faithful to the formula created by FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but the changes it does make might be the game's downfall. Still, for fans of the genre, it's another intriguing addition to an ever-growing list of standout gaming experiences. Wuchang is an ambitious Soulslike, which helps it stand o

Owners of the Lucid Air sedan will be able to charge their luxury EVs at thousands of Tesla Supercharger stations in North America starting July 31, nearly two years since the automakers reached an agreement.
