Brazil's Supreme Court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup

Adjacency Matrix and std:mdspan, C++23

In graph theory, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite (and usually dense) graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not, and in weighted graphs, they store the edge weights. In many beginner-level tutorials, adjacency matrices are implemented using vector of vectors (nested dynamic arrays), but this approach has inefficiencies due to multiple memory allocations. C++23 introduces std::mdspan , which provides a more efficient

‘Foundation’ Will Return for Season 4

As sci-fi nerds, we here at io9 love Foundation, even if the show hasn’t gotten the mainstream buzz of certain other Apple TV+ series. It’s hardly a Severance-level blockbuster.

We can only assume that means cliffhangers galore in tomorrow’s finale, as is Foundation tradition—but we’re so happy with the announcement,
