Maria Diaz/ZDNET Few things ruin the joy of watching a good show more than suddenly seeing that rotating asterisk symbol or swirly icon that tells you your TV is buffering.

Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: Your TV's USB port is seriously underutili

Amazon Wants Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Bond’ Movie as Soon as Possible

Now that we know a Denis Villeneuve-helmed Bond reboot is officially coming, there’s a very obvious next question: who’s gonna step into the role of 007? A new report from Variety suggests some of the top contenders, and the selection of actors in the running is fascinatingly mixed, at least in the sense that the character is traditionally played by a Brit. Australian-born Jacob Elordi, star of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein for Netflix, is a strong pick and stands apart from the re

Weird Expressions in Rust

Rust has a very powerful type system, but as a result it has some quirks, some would say cursed expressions. There’s a test file, weird-expr.rs , in the rust repository that tests for some of these and makes sure there consistent between updates. So I wanted to go over each of these and explain how it’s valid rust. Note that these are not bugs, but rather extreme cases of rust features like loops, expressions, coercion and so on.
