Saquon Barkley is playing for equity

Saquon Barkley calls me, but he’s distracted. In the background, two little voices shout “Bye, friends!” as Barkley wrangles his kids, Jada, 7, and Saquon Jr., 3, into the car. He apologizes, then explains they’re headed to an Old Spice photo shoot tied to his latest endorsement — a Saquon-branded shampoo and conditioner called “Saquon Soar.” It’s a cinematic image: one of the NFL’s biggest stars juggling dad duty and the demands of a sponsorship. But Barkley isn’t content to just cash checks a

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Promises Vampire Intrigue Galore in New Trailer

While Interview With the Vampire fans will have to wait until 2026 to pick back up with that series—retitled The Vampire Lestat for its rock n’ roll-infused third season—Anne Rice’s world expands in just a few weeks with Talamasca: The Secret Order. AMC has just shared a full trailer after that teaser in July, and it teases supernatural secrets, psychic menace, and danger-filled dark rooms. Talamasca runs just six episodes, but AMC is calling it a “first season,” so make of that what you will.

WhatsApp fixes ‘zero-click’ bug used to hack Apple users with spyware

WhatsApp said on Friday that it fixed a security bug in its iOS and Mac apps that was being used to stealthily hack into the Apple devices of “specific targeted users.” The Meta-owned messaging app giant said in its security advisory that it fixed the vulnerability, known officially as CVE-2025-55177, which was used alongside a separate flaw found in iOS and Macs, which Apple fixed last week and tracks as CVE-2025-43300. Apple said at the time that the flaw was used in an “extremely sophistica

Efficient Array Programming

Efficient Array Programming This is a wiki-like repo for collecting information and examples for efficient programming in array languages. Most of the explanations here will be written from my understanding of the programs, so I do recommend scrutinizing the programs yourself first before reading them. The general goal of this repository is to help people improve their understanding of array languages, and to have a wealth of examples for well-written array language code.

Best Window Air Conditioners 2025: 11 Picks to Cool You for Years

The EcoFlow Wave 3 is not for the weak. I mean that literally, as it weighs nearly 56 pounds when attached to its 22-pound lithium battery. At 6,100 BTU cooling capacity, the Wave 3 is designed for a car, RV, tent, boat, or any space that might be either temporary or off the grid. The Wave 3 also has a slightly higher 6,800 BTU heat mode. I have a van and and a dog, so for me, the Wave 3 offers a specific type of assurance on hot or cold days. Portable doesn’t mean you can move it around a lot.

Londoners told to wear headphones on public transit

You would think certain things would be blindingly obvious, among them “if you are listening to music or a video on your phone on public transit, wear headphones.” But anyone who regularly uses transit services can tell you that this is definitely not the case. London has now decided to take executive action with a PR campaign … I’m not sure exactly what caused it, but at some point a number of years ago, people seemed to switch from holding phones to their ear to make calls, to holding them f

London targets noisy commuters with headphone campaign

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. After bringing 4G and 5G connectivity to the Underground, London’s public transport authority has started scolding noisy passengers who subject everyone to music and calls blasting out of their phones. A new poster campaign launched by Transport for London (TfL) this week encourages customers to wear headphones when watching or listening to content on their devices to reduce disruption for other commuters.

Florida Schools Deploying Armed Drones to Battle School Shooters

There's no need to fear, for emergency drone swarms are here. To combat school shootings, three districts in Florida are set to trial a drone response system that's designed to subdue an assailant and buy time before law enforcement can arrive at the scene, Newsweek reports. It sounds like something you'd see in a satirical ad in a "Robocop" movie, but no — it's real. The drones can spring into operation within five seconds of a silent alarm being activated, and confront the shooter within fif

Ordered Insertion Optimization in OrioleDB

When many sessions try to insert into the same B-tree leaf page, classic exclusive page locking serializes progress and wastes time on sleep/wake cycles. We’re introducing a batch page insertion path that lets the session holding the page lock insert for itself and its neighbors. The result: dramatically reduced lock waits, and big gains at high client counts (2X throughput boost starting from 64 clients in our benchmark). In OrioleDB beta12, inserts into a B-tree leaf are performed under an ex

Improvements to OCaml code editing: the basics of a refactor engine

Refactoring features have contributed to the popularity of editors like IntelliJ, as well as certain programming languages whose editor support offers interactive mechanisms to manage code — Gleam being an excellent example. Even though OCaml has some features related to refactoring (such as renaming occurrences, substituting typed holes with expressions, and case analysis for pattern matching), the goal of my internship was to kickstart work on a robust set of features to enable the smooth inte

The White House just joined TikTok

While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it’s his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn’t stopped Trump’s administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump’s accomplishments. The

XenoRAT malware campaign hits multiple embassies in South Korea

A state-sponsored espionage campaign is targeting foreign embassies in South Korea to deploy XenoRAT malware from malicious GitHub repositories. According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets. Although infrastructure and techniques match the pllaybook of North Korean actor Kimsuky (APT43), there are signs that better match China-based operatives, the researchers say. Multi

Valiant’s Bloodshot Relaunch Mired by Transphobic Dogwhistles

Update, 8/17/2025 @ 10:57 AM: After his old Twitter posts were discovered, Bloodshot writer Mauro Mantella has since deleted the account and posted an apology on Instagram. “I want to offer my most sincere apologies. I know I made a mistake, but at no point did I intend to spread a message of hate,” it begins. In his apology, he revealed he first wrote the issue’s script in Spanish, then “changed it a bit” when converting it to English. This conversion led to him “borrowing a common phrase used

‘Superman’ and ‘Star Wars’ Actor Terence Stamp Dies at Age 87

English actor Terence Stamp, seen across a variety of film and TV over the decades, has passed away at 87 years old. In a statement to Reuters, the actor’s family revealed he passed on Sunday morning. Born July 22, 1938, he made his film debut with the 1962 adaptation of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd as the title character. The role earned him an Academy Award nomination and recognition that allowed him to star in films like 1965’s The Collector and 1967’s Poor Cow. Genre-wise, Terence Stamp fa

Camp Snap CS-8 Review: Simple Video Capture

The Camp Snap CS-8 doesn’t care about frame rates, bit rates, or whether your footage is stabilized to unerring levels of steadiness. It doesn’t want to replace your iPhone or compete with your mirrorless camera setup. What it offers instead is something far simpler and more deliberate: the feeling of shooting video for the sake of it. Much like Camp Snap’s point-and-shoot still camera from 2023 (the company’s only other major product), it’s a throwback to when cameras didn’t think for you and

How a mysterious particle could explain the Universe’s missing antimatter

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current theories, matter and its counterpart, antimatter, ought to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. But antimatter is vanishingly rare in the universe. So what happened? Physicists don’t know the answer to that question yet, but many think the solution must involve some subtle dif

Apple TV+ releases the first 'Peanuts' musical in 37 years

Apple is making good on its promise to release new Peanuts content with today's premiere of Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical. It's the first Peanuts musical in 37 years, with the last one, Snoopy: The Musical, debuting way back 1988.

The 40-minute special directed by Erik Wiese is centered around Charlie Brown's

Simulating and Visualising the Central Limit Theorem

Simulating and Visualising the Central Limit Theorem Categories: Statistics R 34 minutes read I completed a Computer Science degree at uni, and bundled a lot of maths subjects in as electives: partial differential equations, vector calculus, discrete maths, linear algebra.

REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Review: All-Weather, All-Season Family Tent

When my wife and I had kids, one of the first things we did was get a bigger tent. Fifteen years ago, the nicest car camping tent I could find was REI's Kingdom 6. All these years later, that tent is still going strong (a friend is off camping in it right now), but it turned out that we never really needed all that room. I'd happily trade that room for little more strength in stormy weather, which always seem to find me when I'm camping, and a smaller footprint that will fit in more spots. That
