The Switch 2 Proves Nintendo Never Misses on Music

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-14 22:00:28

Nintendo is a lot of things to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Mario helps, and so do the host of other iconic first-party titles and the movies, toys, theme parks, and endless other IP offshoots they spawned. But beyond how Nintendo looks and plays and sells, it also has a sound, and thanks to the Switch 2, that sound is just as iconic as ever this time around. Seriously, though, listen to the Mario Kart World soundtrack right now. There’s a lot of newfangled Switch 2 music I l

Show HN: Seastar – Build and dependency manager for C/C++ with Cargo's features

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-15 11:36:32

Seastar Seastar is a fast, extensible build system for C, C++, and maybe soon, Rust and Zig as well. I believe that it should be easy to make, prototype, and iterate upon designs. While C is still one of our most widely used languages, it makes it hard to create programs easily, especially for beginners. Instead, Seastar aims to be more like Rust's tooling with cargo , but supporting seamless compilation across more languages. Running Seastar is very simple to build and run. Assuming you have

Telephone Exchanges in the UK

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-15 11:33:43

For more than a century the telephone exchange has formed the backbone of our telecommunications system. A vast array of more than 5,500 mostly nondescript buildings sit unnoticed on city, town or village streets, and quietly link up more than 254 million kilometres of cables and wires – keeping people in the UK connected to each other and the rest of the world. Since the first telephone exchange was established in London in 1879 with just eight subscribers, these anonymous looking buildings ha

Temuera Morrison Thinks ‘Star Wars’ Isn’t Done With Boba Fett Yet

Just when The Mandalorian brought him back and teased big things for him, Boba Fett got kind of a raw deal once his own show dropped. Disney’s not given it a second season or even so much as mentioned it, to the point just last year, star Temuera Morrison was unsure about his character’s future. But maybe things are at a point to where it could be his time once more? While promoting his current film Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), Collider asked Morrison what the deal was.

What is the best internet provider in Austin? CNET ranks Spectrum as the best internet service provider in Austin for its wide coverage, no data caps and no contracts.

Meta-analysis of three different notions of software complexity

A meta-analysis of three different notions of software complexity I want to discuss three different notions of software complexity: Rich Hickey’s notion of complexity, as explained in his talk Simple Made Easy. John Ousterhout’s notion of complexity, as explained in his book A Philosophy of Software Design. Zach Tellman’s notion of complexity, as explained in his newsletter Explaining Software Design. I’ve picked these three because I’ve found them to be at least somewhat coherent, and the

Cray versus Raspberry Pi

Please visit the sponsor! Cray versus Raspberry Pi I fondly recall the era when the pinnacle of supercomputing was the Cray 1. Even the shape of this computer was massively different to anything that came before and it was so futuristic that it could have come straight from a scifi movie. While almost all other computers of the 1970s were just a collection of huge rectangular cabinets with blinky lights and perhaps a few tape drives, the Cray 1 looked more like a piece of space-age furnitu

In fact, it felt like one of the most underwhelming Apple events I've covered in my 14 years as a CNET journalist. That's not a good sign.
