You Might Be Using the Wrong Oil: A Guide to Cooking Oils and When to Use Them

Oil's versatility knows no bounds. Not only does it help cook our favorite proteins and vegetables but it can also be mixed into dressings and baked goods to enhance everything from crave-worthy fat content to superior moisture levels. Some varieties, such as olive and coconut oil, can even be applied directly to skin and hair for the benefits of long-lasting hydration. But many oils serve very specific purposes. While ever-popular olive oil may be the go-to for practically everything in your k

Hexatetrahedral Rails

Software is a creative endeavor and a craft. And like any creative endeavor and any craft, it is subject to fashions. About a decade ago, one of those fashions was Hexagonal Rails largely inspired by the DDD book, but also by the original Hexagonal Architecture work by Dr. Cockburn. Some of these applications are now up for their Rails upgrade and an “oil change,” and it’s interesting to see them in the wild and how they get perceived through the lens of the years that have gone by since then.

I drank every cocktail

I Drank Every Cocktail The International Bartenders Association, or IBA, maintains a list of official cocktails, ones they deem to be “the most requested recipes” at bars all around the world. It’s the closest thing the bartending industry has to a canonical list of cocktails, akin to the American Kennel Club’s registry of dog breeds or a jazz musician’s Real Book of standards. The IBA official cocktail list is the kind of list that has its own Sporcle quiz and its own Wikipedia article—an “IB

Variety and The Hollywood Reporter report that Netflix has greenlit the series after years of development hell; the intention to produce the series was announced in 2020.

RCS chats not connecting? Google Messages may soon make it easier to diagnose (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google Messages may be about to add a “Details” button to help diagnose issues with RCS chats connections.

Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design. But have you noticed you may not be seeing them as often nowadays? In my opinion as a career mattress tester, contemporary mattresses are on their way to m

Building Modular Rails Applications: A Deep Dive into Rails Engines

I’ve been building Rails applications for the last 10 years on a daily base and almost all of them use active storage now. Users are uploading files and then the questions start rolling in from the team and they are always the same: “How much storage are we actually using?” “Can we see which files aren’t attached to anything anymore?” “What types of files are users uploading the most?” “Is there a way to browse through all our stored files?” I usually open the Rails console, write a few querie

Android May Soon Warn You About Fake Cell Towers

But this week, the United States Justice Department revealed one of its biggest operations to tackle IT workers to date. The DOJ says it has identified six Americans who allegedly helped enable the s
