iPad Air vs reMarkable Paper Pro: Which tablet is best for note taking? [Updated]

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-15 20:14:42

Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out the reMarkable Paper Pro. You can read my full review here, but in short, it gets everything right about the note taking experience. Despite being an e-ink tablet, it does get quite pricey. However, there are certainly some fantastic parts of the experience that make it worth comparing to an iPad Air, depending on what you’re looking for in a note taking device for school, work, or whatever else.

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-09-15 21:00:00

India has been one of the top recipients of remittances in the world for more than a decade.

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2025-09-12 07:11:17

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

The Skyscraper That Could Have Toppled over in the Wind (1995)

Within this seemingly simple computation, however, lurks a powerful multiplier. At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces. In the Citicorp tower, the forty-per-cent increase in tension produced by a quartering wind became a hundred-and-sixty-per-cent increase on the building’s bolts. Precisely because of that leverage, a margin of safe

How easy is it for a developer to "sandbox" a program?

news.ycombinator.com In 2025-09-11 18:57:24

# source code sandboxing Sandboxing is when a developer limits available system resources to a program from within its own source code. A classic example is calling chroot(2) to change the root file-system to an empty directory so that the program cannot scribble into the root file-system. int main(void) { /* Program has full file-system access. */ chroot("/var/empty"); chdir("/"); /* File-system root re-rooted in /var/empty. */ int fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY); /* Tried to open /var/empty

Biofuels Policy, a Mainstay of American Agriculture, a Failure for the Climate

news.ycombinator.com Georgina Gustin 2025-09-15 18:02:22

The American Midwest is home to some of the richest, most productive farmland in the world, enabling its transformation into a vast corn- and soy-producing machine—a conversion spurred largely by decades-long policies that support the production of biofuels. But a new report takes a big swing at the ethanol orthodoxy of American agriculture, criticizing the industry for causing economic and social imbalances across rural communities and saying that the expansion of biofuels will increase greenh

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable

news.ycombinator.com Saloni Dattani 2025-09-15 15:12:42

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live. I’d wonder how a child might grasp the idea of limited time, or how painful it must have been to face the possibility of miss

How Covid-19 Changed Hideo Kojima’s Vision for ‘Death Stranding 2’

When legendary game designer Hideo Kojima announced to the world that Death Stranding 2 would soon be released, he made it known that Covid-19 had completely changed his idea for this sequel. “We released Death Stranding before the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world was moving toward isolation and division—as with Brexit. The idea behind it was ‘Let's connect. We’ll face disaster if we don’t connect.’ The theme, the story, and the gameplay of the first chapter all revolved around that idea,” Koj

Testing kamado grills is an intense experience for a griller. It requires playing with fire (literally) and high temperatures, although in a controlled, responsible way. The most critical element to kamado's performance is heat, specifically temperature control and how well a grill holds to one temperature. To smoke meat low and slow, that magic number is 225℉. Good smokers, kamados or otherwise, will stick to this temp for as long as 12, 15 or 20 hours. This means the temperature gauge is key a
