Coverage.py uses regexes to define pragma syntax. This is surprisingly powerful. Coverage.py lets you indicate code to exclude from measurement by adding comments to your Python files. But coverage implements them differently than other similar tools. Rather than having fixed syntax for these comments, they are defined using regexes that you can change or add to. This has been surprisingly powerful. The basic behavior: coverage finds lines in your source files that match the regexes. These lin

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly add a “heat pass block” to the Exynos 2600 processor. This component should act as a heat sink and reduce the chip’s temperature.

The New PlayStation 5 Fight Stick Is Way Weirder Than It Looks

Sony’s new controller for PS5 is unlike any of its other twin-stick, two-handed controllers, and not for all the obvious reasons. Sony’s “Project Defiant” fight stick now has a new name, FlexStrike, and a vague release date—2026. But the more intriguing, and more annoying, aspect of the fight stick is how it will connect to your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro.
