Mastodon’s latest update readies the app for Quote Posts, revamps design

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-08-09 12:00:00

Mastodon, the open-source, decentralized social network offering an alternative to Elon Musk’s X and Meta’s Threads, is rolling out a number of updates with Tuesday’s release of Mastodon 4.4. Most notably, the app is taking the first steps towards implementing a change that will bring it on par with other networks, but may also impact user behavior: it’s preparing to integrate Quote Posts, or what Twitter used to call Quote Tweets. This type of repost allows users to quote another person’s pos

Why don't we trust technology in sport?

feeds.bbci.co.uk Unknown 2025-08-10 20:15:57

For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, Wimbledon's Centre Court became the perfect encapsulation of the current tensions between humans and machines. When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. Television replays proved it. But the electronic line-calling system - which means humans have been fully replaced this year following earlier trials - remained silent. Minutes ticked by.

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-12 08:46:01

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

How to Network as an Introvert

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-12 04:06:41

How to Network as an Introvert 05 Jul, 2025 Why I am writing this? Sometimes I’d leave an event unsure if I connected with anyone—or if anyone noticed I was there. I’d show up, blend in, talk just enough, smile just enough, and then disappear. The next morning, I’d wonder if anyone even remembered I was there. This is what often happens to introverts trying to network . It’s not that we lack social skills. It’s that we’re playing the game without a system that fits our wiring. I’m writing t

The Moat of Low Status

This post is an excerpt from my forthcoming book (and builds on a couple paragraphs in my original post on agency).

The Rise of Whatever

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-14 10:48:32

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit. Back in the 00’s, if you wanted to move money between arbitrary people over the Internet, you realistically had one option: PayPal. Either that, or live in some futuristic utopia like the EU where banks consider "send money to people" to be core functi

NASA Reveals First-Ever Full Image of Peanut-Shaped Asteroid Donaldjohanson

Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission are finally wrapping up the process of refining the data gathered by the spacecraft’s April 20 encounter with Donaldjohanson, an asteroid in our solar system’s main asteroid belt. And it’s, uh, as peanut-shaped as we first saw it. Earlier this year, Lucy’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager snapped an image of Donaldjohansson while quickly swooping past it, at a distance of about 600 miles (960 kilometers), with the smallest visible features measuring around 13

Keeping your house cool during the summer can be tough. Maybe you don’t have central air. Or maybe your family insists that you keep the thermostat higher than what’s normally to your liking.

For our full take on what to look for in a laptop, see our guide on choosing the right laptop. Your budget is the most important factor, as it determines what you can expect out of the device you're purchasing. But you should consider display size, chassis thickness, CPU, memory, storage, and port selection. While appropriate specs can vary wildly when you're considering laptops ranging from $200 to $800, there are a few hard lines I don't recommend crossing. For example, don't buy a laptop if

Donkey Kong Bananza unearths the franchise’s roots and rips them out

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-08-21 04:00:00

Several moments of my two-hour hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza felt like I was playing the gritty 2009 action game Red Faction: Guerilla — except this time I was actually playing as a gorilla. For example, I had to level a multistory building during a timed minigame. Just like in Guerilla, I targeted the load-bearing columns with Donkey Kong’s ripped arms to quickly bring it down. Reveling in the destruction made me feel equal parts satisfied and sinister, all while Donkey Kong struck a

‘Foundation’ Returns With Its Best Season Yet

This $15 Raspberry Pi hack fixed my car’s biggest Android Auto annoyance

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Android Auto turned ten years old this year, and most automakers have adopted it by now. But unless you drive a car from the past couple of years, chances are that it does not support wireless Android Auto.
