This 5-in-1 travel charger is the only one I'll need this summer (and it's full of power)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Statik 5–in-1 SmartCharge is a 10,000mAh capacity power bank and charger that sells for $70. It comes with built-in cables and multiple plug adapters (EU, UK, AU) for seamless charging around the globe in more than 200 countries.

Second analyst backs claim that AirPods Pro 3 won’t launch this year

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-18 13:10:17

It had been widely expected that AirPods Pro 3 would launch sometime in 2025, in part based on reports from reliable leakers, in part simply because an update is due. AirPods Pro 2 will be three years old by this year’s iPhone launch. But Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said last month that the new model won’t launch until next year, and that view has now reportedly been echoed in a new timeline … While 9to5Mac has not been able to independently verify the existence of the timeline, a Korean chip i

I'm very excited to announce that I have recently joined Turso as a software engineer.

Trying out Nvidia’s RTX 50 Series GPU on a Falcon Northwest gaming PC | review

Kelt Reeves has been creating custom gaming PCs since 1992. Before he got out of college, Reeves started Falcon Northwest in Medford, Oregon, and it’s cranking out gaming PCs with the polish of a small company. I have interviewed Reeves over the years and used a number of his machines.

As the Federal Reserve likely holds interest rates steady, mortgage rates are expected to stay in a narrow range.

A New Obesity Pill May Burn Fat Without Suppressing Appetite

wired.com Emily Mullin 2026-03-18 23:00:00

An experimental obesity pill that works in a different way from the wildly popular Ozempic may help people lose weight, according to results from a small, preliminary human trial. Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs reduce food intake by stimulating a feeling of fullness. They act on the brain to promote satiety and on the gut to slow the movement of food through the stomach, helping people feel full longer. As a result, people on the drugs lose weight because they eat less. But a new drug may be ab

SumatraPDF is a Windows GUI application for viewing PDF, ePub and comic books written in C++. A common need in GUI programs is a callback. E.g. when a button is clicked we need to call a function with some data identifying which button was clicked. Callback is therefore a combo of function and data and we need to call the function with data as an argument. In programming language lingo, code + data combo is called a closure.

Within this seemingly simple computation, however, lurks a powerful multiplier. At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces. In the Citicorp tower, the forty-per-cent increase in tension produced by a quartering wind became a hundred-and-sixty-per-cent increase on the building’s bolts.

How fast can the RPython GC allocate?

While working on a paper about allocation profiling in VMProf I got curious about how quickly the RPython GC can allocate an object.

The basic idea is to just allocate an instance in a tight loop: class A ( object ): pass def run ( loops ): # preliminary idea, see below for i in range ( loops ): a = A () a . i = i The RPython type inference will find out that instances of A have a single i field, which is an i
