engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-13 20:56:51

While scientists are still working to understand the effects an extended trip to space can have on the human body, research in recent years has suggested that astronauts may experience some pretty dramatic changes on both the physiological and psychological levels. In the latest study led by a team at University of California San Diego, researchers found signs of accelerated aging in human stem cells that spent roughly a month in space. The research focused on hematopoietic stem and progenitor

Way to Address Product Design Failure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-10 05:59:15

We live in an age of shitty product design and no customer support. Stuff breaks because it's poorly made, and then you have no recourse but to throw it into the trash, because it's unrepairable. If you try to get someone on the line, it's endless sub-menus before you finally get a live person overseas, who struggles with the language and has not been empowered by their bosses to actually solve your problem. Here, however, we have a product design failure that was handled masterfully. I think

Porsche’s insanely clever hybrid engine comes to the 911 Turbo S

Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

When director Rian Johnson introduced the new Knives Out film on the third day of TIFF 2025, he exclaimed: “we’re going back to church.” By that he meant that Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, would harken back to the origins of the whodunit, and in particular the gothic vibes of Edgar Allan Poe. And now that I’ve seen it, I have to say that Johnson pulled it off: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feel than its predecessors, and yet it’s still distinctly Knives Out,

End-to-end (E2E) tests sit at the top of the test pyramid because they're slow, fragile, and expensive. But they're also the only tests that completely verify complete user workflows actually work across systems. Due to time constraints, most teams run E2E nightly to avoid CI bottlenecks. However, this means bugs can slip through to production and be harder to fix because there are so many changes to isolate the root cause.
