Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that three upcoming Pro flagship phones will see notable battery capacity upgrades. It looks like the tipster is referring to the Xiaomi 16 Pro, vivo X300 Pro, and OPPO Find X9 Pro. The OPPO Find X9 Pro in particular could offer a 7,550mAh battery. Many smartphone brands have embraced silicon-carbon batteries in the past year or two, resulting in some flagship Android phones with huge batteries. They’re not stopping here, though, as i

How Pixel 10 Pro created the world's smartest phone camera - a peek inside Google

ZDNET's Kerry Wan takes a photo with the Google Pixel 10 Pro camera. Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Isaac Reynolds has been working on the Pixel Camera team at Google for almost a decade -- since the first Google Pixel phone launched in 2016. And yet, I think it's fair to say that he's never been more bullish about the technology that Google has integrated into a phone camera than he is with this year's Pixel 10 Pro.

Triangle Grids (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Vsevolod Kvachev 2025-11-27 14:46:05

Grids are great for tactical gameplay of turn-based games because they allow discrete movement steps. That means that you can bind positioning to other resources such as movement points, action points, food, etc. Grids divide the infinite variety of movement options into a few specific ones, which can be considered separately by the player’s tactical mind. The most popular grid types are hexes and squares. But what about triangles? Your browser does not support the video tag. Types of Grids: C

One of the most engaging books I have read this year is A Little Learning: A Victorian Childhood, by the novelist Winifred Peck (1882-1962). Looking back from the 1950s, Peck describes her education at a number of different schools in the last decades of the 19th century – a time when the opportunities available to women, and ideas about how girls should be educated, were changing very rapidly. Though she came from a scholarly and successful family (her father was a bishop), Peck’s chequered ed

Some are using fire bricks, particularly for process heat for industries that rely on high heat in manufacturing.

Motion Sickness Sufferers, Rejoice: Scientists Say This Might Actually Help

Normally, I’d start this sort of article by saying something along the lines of, “Everyone knows how horrible it is to feel motion sick.” But that’s not entirely true—plenty of people can text, read, and do all sorts of things in a moving vehicle without feeling the slightest bit nauseous. If that sounds like you, you’ll have to trust me—a chronic sufferer of motion sickness—when I say that it wholeheartedly sucks.

The ruling comes more than a year after the same judge ruled that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in internet search. Following the ruling last year, the Department of Justice had proposed that Google should be forced to sell Chrome.

Indices, not Pointers There is a pattern I’ve learned while using Zig which I’ve never seen used in any other language. It’s an extremely simple trick which - when applied to a data structure - reduces memory usage, reduces memory allocations, speeds up accesses, makes freeing instantaneous, and generally makes everything much, much faster. The trick is to use indices, not pointers. This is something I learned from a talk by Andrew Kelley (Zig’s creator) on data-oriented design. It’s used in Z
