Vicki Jauron, Babylon and Beyond Photography/Getty Images When Linus Torvalds posted his now-legendary 1991 announcement about a "hobby" operating system kernel, no one would have predicted that Linux would become the backbone of modern computing. In a speech at the Open-Source Summit, North America, Jonathan Corbet, executive editor of LWN and longtime kernel developer, recounted the Linux kernel's remarkable journey, highlighting its disruptive beginnings, its unique development model, and th
Vittoria Elliott: Can you tell me about your interactions with the other DOGE people? Did you make friends? Did you make colleagues- Sahil Lavingia: Yeah. Vittoria Elliott: ... at least? Do you know... What was your relationship with the other DOGE people, and what were your impressions of them? Sahil Lavingia: It was pretty friendly. I mean, it was kind of joining a little troop. We were working together 12 hours a day, and we laugh and joke and you had to because a lot of the work itself wa
The most famous quote from Knuth’s paper “Structured Programming with go to Statements” is this: There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization

There’s a reason why the biggest, most famous filmmakers in the world all want “final cut” of their movies. It’s because they don’t want anyone, least of all a studio executive, to have an impact on their vision. More often than not, when studios meddle in editing, it’s to make films shorter. However, the exact opposite happened on the new Jurassic film, Jurassic World Rebirth. Rebirth started shooting in June 2024, finished in October 2024 and, right after Christmas, director Gareth Edwards wa

Whether you’ve got kids, pets, or just friends who are more than a little extroverted, it can be nice to have a really solid action camera. Not every camera can handle capturing action as it happens, let alone when things go underwater or especially quickly. That’s where a good action camera really shines, but they can also be really expensive. They don’t have to be though. See at Amazon Today, you can pick up the Akaso EK7000 Action Camera for just $53. That’s 34% off the usual price of $80,
Lauren Goode: Well, speaking of Darth Vader, Disney recently licensed the use of Darth Vader's voice for a chatbot in Fortnite. Everybody knows what Fortnite is, right? And what's interesting about this is this deal ended up causing some backlash from the actors in SAG-AFTRA, which is the union that represents actors and voice actors and stuff like that, where they were arguing that this is an example of AI-generated voices replacing their work, their very human work, without authorization, and
Brad Feld has spent decades operating by a simple principle: Give without expecting anything in return. This philosophy goes beyond traditional pay-it-forward thinking, he says. It’s about helping others, knowing only that meaningful connections and opportunities will emerge organically over time if you do. The entrepreneur and VC, who began angel investing in the 1990s, rose to prominence through his candid blog “Feld Thoughts,” which pulled back the curtain on the then-secretive venture indus

Coleman sits in the rear seat of a supersonic T-38 jet for pilot training as a newly minted NASA astronaut candidate in 1992. “When a chemist gets to fly a T-38, she will always be smiling,” she says. NASA On the day of Sally Ride’s talk, I hurried into 10-250, the large lecture hall beneath the Great Dome that is the emblem of MIT. Sandy Yulke, the chair of the Association of MIT Alumnae, was already introducing Sally. Sally. Just a first name. As if she were one of us. I slid into an empty se
TL;DR A browser with its address bar at the bottom of the screen is a desirable layout for mobile devices. Chrome on iOS got this option back in 2023, but has so far lacked it on Android. Today, Google finally starts giving Android users the choice, as well. Smartphones may be pocket-sized computers, but there are a million and one good reasons why we wouldn’t want to use the same exact apps we do on our full-sized machines. Just the very fact that we’re interacting through a touchscreen mean
Not every pair of headphones needs to have noise cancellation, touch controls, or a premium price tag to be worth your money. Sometimes, the best pair is the one that just gets the job done. That means they produce sound and they connect to your devices. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated than that. If you’re looking for that kind of everyday listening solution, the Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones are worth buying, especially when you can get them at such a great price. Head to
After years of grand promises about how robotaxis would change the way we buy and use our cars, Tesla finally launched its taxi service. In one small portion of one city. With only a few cars and a few riders. Plus safety monitors in the passenger seat. Caution is a good thing in this industry, but what does all this say about where Tesla’s self-driving efforts really stand? After that, The Verge’s Allison Johnson joins the show to dive deep on MVNOs. In the United States, the cell market is co
Jaws officially turned 50 last week, and it’s easy to imagine that Steven Spielberg’s shark thriller—Hollywood’s first summer blockbuster—will be considered just as much of a classic in 50 more years. National Geographic’s annual “Sharkfest” programming marks the milestone with Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a new documentary from frequent Spielberg collaborator Laurent Bouzereau (Music by John Williams). As fans of cinema history well know, however, Jaws is already a well-documented f
One of the things I read about while getting ready for our vacation in Japan were these famous tiny businesses: bars or izakayas with four seats, narrow little bookstores or record shops in people’s houses or the bottom floors of small buildings, hyper-specialized or themed bars owned by one passionate guy. (There’s one that’s chock-full of Star Wars memorabilia, for example.) We got to visit a couple of such places, and saw many more from the street. I’m planning to write a longer, more themat
Summer is coming, or it’s already here. Look, we’re not seasonal experts, and time is a lie anyway, but the important thing here is that it’s getting incredibly warm for a lot of us. While there are some people (who might be lizards) who thrive in the constant heat, a lot of us need a way to keep it at bay as efficiently as possible. Air conditioning helps on that front, but so can a really good fan. See at Amazon The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan is a really good fan, so much so, in fact, tha

Earlier in this Playdate season, I commented in a review that I "love a game that pisses me off a little." Well, I may have shot myself in the foot with that one. Week four of Playdate Season Two brings us not one game that got my blood boiling, but two. CatchaDiablos is a roguelike with a unique movement mechanic that is both pretty cool and absolutely infuriating: running in circles with the crank. Shadowgate PD, on the other hand, is a remade-for-Playdate version of the classic point-and-clic
When Sony Pictures Animation first announced KPop Demon Hunters back in 2021, director, writer, and longtime K-pop devotee Maggie Kang (The Lego Ninjago Movie) envisioned the project as both a love letter to the early days of the genre she grew up with and a vibrant celebration of Korean culture. Teaming up with co-director Chris Appelhans (Wish Dragon), Kang set out to craft a film that merges the dazzling precision of K-pop choreography with the spectacle of magical girl action, all wrapped up
Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich. I spent about three and a half days there and thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts. I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences. Before I go into the details, I should mention that I’ve been living in Hamburg for seven years, and this was my first time in Bavar

If you can afford to make your chores a little bit easier, then you definitely deserve to do so. After all, none of us really enjoys having to deal with dishes, cat litter, dusting, or vacuuming. Well, maybe you do, and that’s good for you, but for most of us, it’s a constant slog of tasks that never really ends. That’s why it’s for the best that you have the right tools. See at Amazon Today, we’ve found an excellent deal on a really great vacuum that should make it easier than ever to get rid
The same thing that makes Windows gaming handhelds desirable also holds them back. It's never been the hardware. The designs aren't perfect in a lot of the devices -- even the best of the lot, the Asus ROG Ally and ROG Ally X, which are the basis of the forthcoming ROG Xbox Ally -- but they're generally playable. The culprit has always been Windows. It simply isn't an operating system designed for a dedicated gaming handheld, and that needs to change. Of course, we'd all love the Xbox Ally to
Location: San Francisco, CA Why Foundry Exists: Most of what people do at work sucks—it's manual, repetitive, and wastes time. Recruiters spend hours every day on LinkedIn, CRMs, email, and tedious data entry tasks instead of focusing on the things humans actually do well: building relationships, strategy, and decision-making. We're building tools so that AI agents can use web browsers exactly like humans, navigating enterprise apps like Salesforce, SAP, or Workday without constant manual inte

I love modern handheld gaming, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Just maybe not today? If you decided today was the day to finally drop hundreds of dollars on your first handheld, I might advise you to wait. Four reasons: The best handhelds are sold out The second-best handhelds just got more expensive Third-tier handhelds are
"Sally Ride became the first American woman to blast off into space, but beneath her unflappable composure, she carried a secret." On June 18, 1983, NASA astronaut Sally Ride made history as the first American woman in space aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger. National Geographic is marking the occasion with a new documentary on the astronaut's life: Sally. In addition to revisiting her storied career, the film provides an unprecedented look at the famously private Ride's personal life—notably
