How To Bring Back Oddly Shaped App Icons in macOS 26 Tahoe June 11, 2025 macOS 26 Tahoe replaces the oddly shaped app icons that once brought joy and personality to the Dock with the familiar squircle icons from iOS. Here's what that looks like. The lovely Things icon now sits awkwardly on a glass background 😢 I strongly dislike this change. Part of the Mac’s soul was in its expressive, varied app icons, a case of character over conformity. Fortunately, there's a way to bring back the perso

Scientists Reveal Easy Three-Step Plan to Terraform Mars

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-18 13:45:29

Terraforming, the act of radically transforming a planet's climate and environment to make it suitable for human habitation, currently belongs to the realm of science-fiction. But it's possible, at least in theory, and the idea of terraforming our nearest candidate planet for off-world colonization, Mars, has captivated us for generations. But how would we even begin to pull off such a monumental feat of engineering? You can basically boil it down to three simple steps, argue the authors of a r

Using `make` to compile C programs

news.ycombinator.com Julia Evans 2026-03-15 00:24:48

I have never been a C programmer but every so often I need to compile a C/C++ program from source. This has been kind of a struggle for me: for a long time, my approach was basically “install the dependencies, run make , if it doesn’t work, either try to find a binary someone has compiled or give up”. “Hope someone else has compiled it” worked pretty well when I was running Linux but since I’ve been using a Mac for the last couple of years I’ve been running into more situations where I have to

Best Kamado Grill for 2025

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-18 18:00:00

Testing kamado grills is an intense experience for a griller. It requires playing with fire (literally) and high temperatures, although in a controlled, responsible way. The most critical element to kamado's performance is heat, specifically temperature control and how well a grill holds to one temperature. To smoke meat low and slow, that magic number is 225℉. Good smokers, kamados or otherwise, will stick to this temp for as long as 12, 15 or 20 hours. This means the temperature gauge is key a
