As Engadget detailed last week, the feature is fairly basic for now. Selecting "text attachment" from the post composer opens up a simple text editor that has some formatting o

Why you should join Artie We are building Artie, a real-time data streaming solution focused on databases and data warehouses. Typical ETL solutions leverage batched processes or schedulers (DAGs, Airflow), which cannot achieve real time data syncs.

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-17 05:30:20

Strange New Worlds has been having a rough go of it this season. From tonal misfires to episodes that have swung for gimmicks over engaging with the material questions they raise, the show has traded depth for breadth in terms of the sheer variety of spaces it explores. But one thing has become clear over the course of the season that becomes crystal in its penultimate episode: the only time the show is willing to knuckle down and really focus is when it wants to ride on the coattails of the Tre

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years. It was originally discovered among the burial things of a presumed Viking warrior in Norway in 1797 a
