August 14, 2025 We just completed rewriting the Ghostty GTK application fully embracing the GObject type system from Zig and also verifying with Valgrind every step of the way. The result is a more feature rich, stable, and maintainable Ghostty on Linux and BSD. There are multiple interesting, technical topics from this process, but I want to focus in on two (1) interfacing with the GObject type system from Zig and (2) verifying a GTK application with Valgrind and reflecting on the memory issu

Palantir has been so infamous for so long that, for some people, its name has become a cultural shorthand for dystopian surveillance. But a number of former Palantir employees tell WIR

‘Witchboard’ Summons a Fun but Uneven Remake of a Cult Classic

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-23 18:00:48

Released in 1986, the original Witchboard‘s cultural impact lingers mostly because it stars Tawny Kitaen—known more for being a music-video vixen than an actor. But the stunt casting works: her character’s Ouija board curiosity turns tragic when an evil spirit takes a shine to her, possibly lured in by her perfectly teased hair. The movie delivers more cheese than frights, but you can easily see why it became a cult classic. Less clear is why Witchboard needed a remake, especially one that only
