Headlines popped up with similarly vague language as concern spread on social media: That’s a thing in tons of games! Can they do that? Is that even allowed? Well, no, because that’s not exactly what they patented. And what they did patent might not stand up to any hypothetical challenges in court. The patent in question, US

Ozempic May Be Less Effective for Emotional Eaters, Study Suggests

GLP-1 agonists—so-called “wonder drugs” like Ozempic or Wegovy that help individuals lower blood sugar levels and lose weight, among other things—yield significant results for some patients, but not all. People’s motivations to overeat may play a role in this, according to a new study. To investigate why some people don’t benefit from GLP-1 agonists as much as others, researchers observed 92 participants with type 2 diabetes in Japan during their first year of taking GLP-1 drugs.

Last year, we did a deep dive predicting the cutoff for the 2025 Boston Marathon. After the BAA announced the number of accepted time-qualified runners, our method was with 6 seconds of the actual cutoff. This year, we're revisiting our model with an additional data point. With the recent announcement of 33,267 applicants for the 2026 race, our updated model predicts a buffer of 5 minutes and 16 seconds. This time is based on an assumption: the BAA will allow 24,000 time-qualified runners. But

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A
