Anatomy of a Python Loop

Learn Python loops the fun way by rolling dice, casting fireballs, and finally understanding what continue really does. Last time, when we built our little dice-rolling function, we learned how to package up logic into reusable blocks. One die roll at a time was cool… but any tabletop nerd knows the real action starts when you need to roll lots of dice. 3d6 for ability scores. 8d6 for a fireball spell. Or the cruel 10d10 your DM makes you roll when things go really sideways. So how do we te

The best silent mouse of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

Over the last several months, I've been testing several silent mice options for consideration on this list. The HP 280 is my ultimate sleeper pick for the best overall silent mouse for several reasons. It is super affordable at just $25 but is designed to offer the comfort of much pricier vertical ergonomic options.

Our Best Look Yet at a Solar Flare Reveals the Sun’s Wilder Side

It took astronomers a little over a year to analyze the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare. But they’re finally done, and the results are illuminating—literally and figuratively. Last year, NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured a high-resolution image of a solar flare crossed with dark strands of coronal loops. Further analysis revealed that the solar flare was an X-class flare—the most powerful class—in a decay phase. The coronal loop strands averaged around 30 miles (48 kilometer
