Physics of badminton’s new killer spin serve

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-15 18:44:31

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. The sanction wasn

Without the Futex, It's Futile

Phil Eaton’s book club is starting The Art of Multiprocessor Programming, 2nd Edition , which is a very well regarded textbook, and pretty recently updated (2021). I’ve even heard of a couple of authors. I’ve done a lot of concurrent programming, and have always felt like I’ve still got plenty to learn, so I was excited for the topic. So far, what I’ve learned is that I would never recommend this book, despite any merits. Academia certainly struggles to find the right balance between teaching

Kalanick told viewers that he was on the verge of discovering new kinds of science by pushing his AI chatbots into previously undiscovered territory.

How to ingest 1B rows/s in ClickHouse

One (American) billion rows per second might feel like a lot, so let me try to explain how you can achieve that using ClickHouse.

As its name suggests, this supernova — the fabulous astronomical term for the explosive death of a star — was first spotted back in 2023, when Southern California's Zwicky Transient Facility zeroed in on it thanks to new AI algorithms designed to detect such brilliant blasts.
