I launched GitHub expecting to dive into my usual routine—flag poorly named variables, trim excessive tests, and suggest simpler ways to handle errors. Instead, I found a few strong comments from Claude Code , the AI that writes and edits in my terminal: "Changed variable naming to match pattern from PR [pull request] #234, removed excessive test coverage per feedbac

After recent tests, China appears likely to beat the United States back to the Moon

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-10 09:18:22

In recent weeks, the secretive Chinese space program has reported some significant milestones in developing its program to land astronauts on the lunar surface by the year 2030. On August 6, the China Manned Space Agency successfully tested a high-fidelity mockup of its 26-ton "Lanyue" lunar lander. The test, conducted outside of Beijing, used giant tethers to simulate lunar gravity as the vehicle fired main engines and fine control thrusters to land on a cratered surface and take off from ther

I Tried the Best At-Home Pet DNA Test Kits on My Two Cats (2025)

wired.com Molly Higgins 2025-11-11 02:05:00

If You Have a Dog, Consider These Kits I don’t have a dog, so I didn't try these at-home DNA test kits for dogs, but these are the kits specifically for dogs from Basepaws and Wisdom Panel, the two companies I've tested for my cats. How Does a DNA Testing Kit Work? Pet DNA tests rely on pet owners collecting cells for testing through a cheek swab, where the sample is put into a sealed stabilizing or preserving fluid for transit. You’ll mail the sample back to the lab in the prepaid envelope.

Eight years ago, orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Kapp attended a medical conference that changed his professional life. He had gone from a private-practice doctor to co-founding a company that built critical care hospitals to then selling that company. It gave him an interest for both sides of healthcare: the medicine and business sides, he told TechCrunch.

Breaking the sorting barrier for directed single-source shortest paths

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost. You may end up spending too much time putting the pieces in order. This dilemma is especially relevant to one of the most iconic problems in computer science: finding the shortest path from a specific starting point in a network to every other point.
