3 reasons why I'm skipping the iPhone 17 Pro and buying this model instead

zdnet.com Jada Jones 2025-10-06 14:47:12

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. There are plenty of dedicated iPhone users like myself who are loyal to base model iPhones. When I upgrade my iPhone every two or so years, I don't bother with the Pro variations. My position is that as the base model iPhones become more advanced, I don't need to spend a few hundred extra dollars on features that a casual user like me won't need. I'm the opposite of a power user, unless power is synonymous with a scary a

Rails on SQLite: exciting new ways to cause outages This post was originally given as a talk for Friendly.rb. The slides are also available. Between Litestack and the Rails 8 trifecta of Solid Cable, Solid Cache, and Solid Queue, it’s easier than ever to spin up a Rails app that doesn’t need a database service, or a redis service, or a file storage service. It’s great to simplify things, but even after 20 years of deploying Rails apps I was still caught out by some of the ways things are diffe

Adjacency Matrix and std:mdspan, C++23

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-03 12:14:20

In graph theory, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite (and usually dense) graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not, and in weighted graphs, they store the edge weights. In many beginner-level tutorials, adjacency matrices are implemented using vector of vectors (nested dynamic arrays), but this approach has inefficiencies due to multiple memory allocations.
