gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-27 16:00:05

Ankylosaurs were squat and thick four-legged dinosaurs with club tails and tough body armor. In other words, invincible Pokémon. A new fossil discovery, however, has revealed that the earliest ankylosaurs were several orders of magnitude more badass than their descendants. In a study published today in the journal Nature, researchers describe the partial skeleton of a Spicomellus, a genus of early ankylosaurs, unearthed in Morocco and dating to around 165 million years ago.

Meta Defector Issues Devastating Psychological Takedown of Tech CEOs

Nick Clegg, a former Meta executive who left the company at the start of this year, has led many lives. Before jumping ship to the tech world, he was a deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, a leader of the UK's Liberal Democrat party, and a member of Parliament — and still, the hubris and wealth he saw in Silicon Valley startled even the well-heeled British politico. In an interview with The Guardian pegged to the release of his new book, "How To Save The Internet," Clegg took aim at th

RFC 9839 and Bad Unicode

news.ycombinator.com Tim Bray 2025-11-01 12:54:01

Unicode is good. If you’re designing a data structure or protocol that has text fields, they should contain Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8. There’s another question, though: “Which Unicode characters?” The answer is “Not all of them, please exclude some.” This issue keeps coming up, so Paul Hoffman and I put together an individual-submission draft to the IETF and now (where by “now” I mean “two years later”) it’s been published as RFC 9839. It explains which characters are bad, and why, th

Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion. Then in April, Musk started intimating that the savings would only be in the region of $150 billion, making it clear to all but his most diehard supporters that DOGE was failing on its own terms — even going by its own dubious estimates of its progress.
