The startup behind open source tool Polars raises $21M from Accel

techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2025-10-02 11:05:00

Polars, the Amsterdam-based company behind the popular open source project of the same name, has raised €18 million (about $21 million) in a Series A round led by Accel, with participation from Bain Capital Partners and angel investors. But while raising this kind of money is the dream of many developers, its creator Ritchie Vink didn’t set out to do so. It all started as a pet project during Covid.

Your iPhone's Maps App Is Tracking You in iOS 26. Here's How to Stop It

Apple released iOS 26 on Sept. 15, and the update brought Liquid Glass, call and text screening, and more hidden features to your iPhone. It also gave your Maps app a new feature called Visited Places that can track where you go, but you can turn the feature off in Settings.

The AI services transformation may be harder than VCs think

Venture capitalists have convinced themselves they’ve found the next big investing edge: using AI to wring software-like margins out of traditionally labor-intensive services businesses. The strategy involves acquiring mature professional services firms, implementing AI to automate tasks, then using the improved cash flow to roll up more companies. Leading the charge is General Catalyst (GC), which has dedicated $1.5 billion of its latest fundraise to what it calls a “creation” strategy that’s

AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds

The AI industry has made major promises about its tech boosting the productivity of developers, allowing them to generate copious amounts of code with simple text prompts. But those claims appear to be massively overblown, as The Register reports, with researchers finding that productivity gains are modest at best — and at worst, that AI can actually slow down human developers.

‘GoldenEye’ is Coming Back to Theaters Next Week

Donald Trump is no stranger to outlandish conspiracies or strange social media posts. But, by any measure, his post on Saturday night was particularly bizarre.

Fundamental of Virtual Memory

Fundamental of Virtual Memory Contents What and Why? Have you ever wondered why computers need main memory (RAM) when they already have disk storage? The answer lies in access speed. While disk storage is permanent, it is much slower than main memory. RAM sacrifices volatility for speed—data is lost when the power is off, but access times are much faster. As a result, the CPU can only access data from main memory, not disk storage. CPUs come with built-in registers, which are even faster tha
