Three years after construction began, it’s time to dump dirt on the project. Specifically, 6,000 cubic yards of a “super” soil followed by the planting of 5,000 native flora. I’m talking about the world’s largest wildlife crossing, which has reached another construction milestone as the bridge nears completion. This prepared soil is the beginning of t

Mechanical Watch: Exploded View

Mechanical Watch: Exploded View In May 2022, someone posted to Hacker News Bartosz Ciechanowski's blog post explaining how mechanical watch movements work. Since then, his blog has been my absolute favorite corner of the Internet. His posts are not just well written and easy to follow, the accompanying interactive illustrations are magnificent. The first illustration in his blog post about mechanical watch movements allows you to "explode" a ticking mechanical movement and rotate it to inspe

Every Parent Should Know These 3 iPhone and iPad Parental Controls

As a parent of three young kids with limited screen time, the prospect of handing them their very own iPad or iPhone sends me into an anxiety-induced spiral. The prospect of having to micromanage screen time (and the overstimulated meltdowns that follow), plus trying to protect them on social media and against all the other horrors lurking online, is enough to make me want to swear off screens altogether. But I'm also a realist and know I can't fend off screens forever. In fact, their peak devic

Best Internet Providers in Aurora, Illinois

Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good. But there’s been an influx of really well-designed keyboards of late: Keychron’s K2 HE Special Edition is a great example, along with the Mcho

Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority As an avid traveler, Google Maps Timeline has long been one of my favorite hidden features. I’m used to opening it on slow Sunday afternoons and wandering through my own travel history. It showed alleyways I had forgotten, long layovers that blurred together while stepping out for a quick brunch across a new city, and impulsive last-minute rail journeys across Eastern Europe that never made it into photos. It’s always felt like a private travel diary logging ev

Announcing the Clippy feature freeze

The Clippy project will be on feature-freeze for 12 weeks, starting from Rust 1.89.0 beta (June 26th 2025) to September 18th 2025 (Rust 1.89.0 stable release). During this time no new features will be accepted, only bug fixes. This feature freeze comes from a lack of the necessary capacity needed to maintain all the current lints (over 750 of them 😱) and still add new ones. We need to care for the Clippy project the same way that Clippy cares about our code, and note that every single one of th

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000

HP Coupon Codes: 5% Off | June 2025

If you don't know where to start—and use—your HP coupon code, there’s a wide variety of options available at HP.com in terms of budget and use case, but my eye goes first to the high-end HP Omen gaming monitors, like the fantastic HP Omen Transcend 32. This 4K 240Hz monitor is a favorite among PC gamers, even among the huge amounts of OLED options out there. It can hit a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits in HDR, bringing scenes in games to life in vivid detail. Or if you’re on the other side o

Final Fantasy fans, now is the time to get into Magic: The Gathering

The Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering set is here, and there’s never been a more perfect assemblage of Magic cards. The set features cards taken from every mainline Final Fantasy title, including the two MMOs, so there’s something for every generation of Final Fantasy lovers. And while Magic has featured other video game crossovers in the past (hello, Assassin’s Creed and Fallout!), with the way this set is constructed, from card mechanics to art, you can tell this one is a developer favorite,

Cross-Compilation Toolchains for Linux

About This site provides a large number of ready-to-use cross-compilation toolchains, targetting the Linux operating system on a large number of architectures. Based on gcc and binutils, those toolchains are provided in several variants with the glibc, uClibc-ng and musl C libraries. The toolchains are built using the Buildroot build system. Most toolchains are tested by building a Linux kernel and Linux userspace, and booting it under Qemu. This is of course not possible on some CPU architec

Debunking NIST's calculation of the Kyber-512 security level (2023)

The bad boy of bar charts: William Playfair (2023)

A spy, a scoundrel, and a scholar William Playfair was all three. He led an extraordinary life at the heart of many of the great events of the 18th and 19th centuries, mostly in morally dubious roles. Among all the intrigue, scandal, and indebtedness, he found time to invent the bar and pie charts, and make pioneering use of line charts. As we'll see, he was quite a character. Playfair the scoundrel Playfair's lifetime (1759-1823) contained some momentous events: The development of the steam

How Borderlands 4 mixes the action up with Fadefields and The Vault | Graeme Timmins interview — The DeanBeat

Borderlands 4 has some clear runway now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming next year instead of this year. The action role-playing first-person shooter looter game (now priced at $70 instead of the previously floated $80) is coming on September 12 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and the Windows PC. I visited 2K’s Hangar 13 studio in Novato, California, and played a couple of hours of Borderlands 4. I have been writing up my impressions this week. I also interviewed the

Tell HN: Beware confidentiality agreements that act as lifetime non competes

Just a note of warning from personal experience. Companies don’t really need non-competes anymore. Some companies take an extremely broad interpretation of IP confidentiality, where they consider doing any work in the industry during your lifetime an inevitable confidentiality violation. They argue it would be impossible for you to work elsewhere in this industry during your entire career without violating confidentiality with the technical and business instincts you bring to that domain. It do
