I'm working on implementing a programming language all my own

To the surprise of literally no one, I'm working on implementing a programming language all my own Inspired by conversation at a recent Future of Coding event, I decided I’d write up a little something about the programming language I’ve been working on (for what feels like forever) before I’ve gotten it to a totally shareable state. I have a working interpreter that I’m pretty pleased with, but I don’t yet have an interactive environment for creating, exploring, debugging, and running code — I

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy S25 FE leaks are getting even better as Unpacked looms

TL;DR Samsung’s got an Unpacked event scheduled for September 4, where we’re expect the Tab S11 series and S25 FE to debut. This afternoon we get a look at some promo material for the phone and the Ultra tablet. Similar imagery leaked earlier this week, and now we get to see some higher-quality variants. Samsung’s second Unpacked event of the summer is coming up fast, and just a few days back the company shared its plans for a virtual announcement scheduled to take place on September 4. We’re

Why You Should Be Using XSLT 3.0 (2017)

A look at the upcoming XSLT 3.0 release, and why it matters beyond the XML community Eighteen years ago, the originators of XML specification faced a problem: how to use the new language to generate a book-publishing format. What emerged were two new languages, the first for describing the various functional parts of a publication in XML called the XML Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects (ultimately XSL-FO) and the XML Stylesheet language (XSLT) for transforming XML-formatted content into th

What Does will-change In CSS Do?

What Does will-change In CSS Actually Do? I've been using the will-change CSS property for a while now, but I realized I never understood exactly what it does. I knew it was some sort of performance optimization but that's pretty much it. will-change What is will-change? It's a hint to the browser, something along the lines of “hey, I’m about to animate these properties, please get ready.” Browsers may respond by promoting the element to its own GPU compositing layer, pre‑allocating memory,

The time to say goodbye to your Tizen OS smartwatch is almost here

Jimmy Westenberg / Android Authority Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 TL;DR Samsung will stop offering content to Tizen OS smartwatches on the Galaxy Store on September 30, 2025. Downloaded apps will continue to be available. If you’ve deleted an app, you won’t be able to re-download it after this date. If you’ve been hanging on to a Galaxy smartwatch that runs on Tizen OS, it’s almost time to say adios and find yourself a new smart timepiece. The termination of Tizen service is on the horizon, with o

Samsung multi-fold leak teases some of the phone’s wireless features

Samsung TL;DR New animations for Samsung’s upcoming multi-fold phone have leaked. The animations show off the phone’s design and a few of its features. The device appears to be capable of wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and NFC payments. It’s not a secret that Samsung is working on a device that the industry popularly but misleadingly calls a “tri-fold.” Although it’s known that the device is on the way, Samsung has remained quiet on the details. But thanks to leaks, we’ve lear

The best audio editing software of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

You have the quiet area, the top-quality microphone, excellent speakers, and a reliable recording platform -- but without the right audio editing software or Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to back you, your new audio production might fall short. Many of us now expect clear, quality sound when we listen not only to songs, but also when we listen to podcasts, social media videos, YouTube content, film and TV shows, and marketing materials. Listeners -- and potential subscribers -- are far more l

Do the simplest thing that could possibly work

When designing software systems, do the simplest thing that could possibly work. It’s surprising how far you can take this piece of advice. I genuinely think you can do this all the time. You can follow this approach for fixing bugs, for maintaining existing systems, and for architecting new ones. A lot of engineers design by trying to think of the “ideal” system: something well-factored, near-infinitely scalable, elegantly distributed, and so on. I think this is entirely the wrong way to go a

Why ‘The Toxic Avenger’ Is the Superhero Movie We Need Right Now

The wait is over! The Toxic Avenger arrives in theaters today, and Troma fans can finally see writer-director Macon Blair’s fresh (but still gross, gory, and proudly unrated) take on the legendary cult franchise. In a splattery movie with a lot going on—a sinister health-care megacorp that’s poisoning people and the environment; a hero with a terminal illness who transforms into a badass mutant; Elijah Wood as you’ve never seen him before; a nu-metal “monstercore” band that moonlights as assass

IFA 2025: What to expect from Samsung, Acer, Lenovo and more

IFA, Europe's answer to the CES, kicks off on September 5 in Berlin, Germany. The show likely won't be the biggest source of news in September — Apple's iPhone launch event is officially happening on September 9 — but it is usually home to its fair share of announcements. IFA 2024 featured new "AI PCs" from ASUS and Dell, including the first Inspiron laptop with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus chip. There were plenty of more unusual ideas, too: Honor used the show to introduce a laptop with a detac

Windows 11 KB5064081 update clears up CPU usage metrics in Task Manager

​​Microsoft has released the KB5064081 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2, which includes thirty-six new features or changes, with many gradually rolling out. These updates include new Recall features and a new way of displaying CPU usage in Task Manager. The KB5064081 update is part of the company's optional non-security preview update schedule, which releases updates at the end of each month to test new fixes and features coming to the next month's Patch Tuesday. Unlike regular Pa

Wearable devices are sharing your private data - these are the 5 worst offenders

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Several wearable devices are sharing user data. The worst offenders include Meta, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei. Apple, Oura, and Whoop have some of the best data practices. Those shiny new Meta Ray-Bans might be uploading the media you're collecting to train its AI model, according to a new report by VPNMentor highlighting the data-sharing practices of the best and worst wearables.

Starlink Puts the Last Nail in Burning Man’s Coffin

Whatever embers may still be left burning from the original spirit of Burning Man are holding on for dear life as Silicon Valley tries to put them out for good. The latest dagger delivered to the Bohemia turned billionaire LARPing event comes from above, as Elon Musk’s Starlink is now providing internet connection to those in attendance, according to the Wall Street Journal. A Burning Man regular named Kevin LeVezu, a photographer, runs a camp at the temporary city called iForgot. This year, he

Nvidia CEO Says AI Will Actually Make Us Busier in the Future

Elon Musk recently insisted that our robot-filled future will allow humans to collect free money for doing nothing, while bots do all the labor. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang doesn’t seem to be buying that narrative. In fact, Huang seems to think advancements in AI and robotics are going to mean that humans will be busier than ever in the world of tomorrow. Huang appeared on Fox Business on Thursday, where he talked about the controversy surrounding selling chips to China, Nvidia’s success as a $

Influencers Will Have to Complete a Long Walk to See ‘The Long Walk’

The rules of The Long Walk are simple. Participants must walk at a minimum of three miles per hour until only one remains. Dip below that, and you get a warning. Three warnings, and you’re out. So, basically, it’s walk or die. The concept makes for a very tense, emotional film, which hits theaters September 12. And now, a group of influencers will do their best to complete the same task. This Saturday, August 30, Lionsgate has invited a group of press and influencers in Los Angeles to see The L

Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools

Earlier this month, EA announced that players in its Battlefield 6 open beta on PC would have to enable Secure Boot in their Windows OS and BIOS settings. That decision proved controversial among players who weren't able to get the finicky low-level security setting working on their machines and others who were unwilling to allow EA's anti-cheat tools to once again have kernel-level access to their systems. Now, Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl is defending that requirement as so

Tesla denied having fatal crash data until a hacker found it

At the beginning of the month, Tesla was found partly liable in a wrongful death lawsuit involving the death of a pedestrian in Florida in 2019. The automaker—which could have settled the case for far less—claimed that it did not have the fatal crash's data. That's until a hacker was able to recover it from the crashed car, according to a report in The Washington Post. In the past, Tesla has been famously quick to offer up customer data stored on its servers to rebut claims made against the com

Best Washing Machines for Your Home in 2025

It's not always about the features that you most regularly use, but about having features available that you might sometimes need to use. If available features are driving your comparative shopping experience for washing machines, GE offers a top-tier, front-loading model with consistent customer satisfaction and just about every available add-on. While it is more expensive than the models listed above, it's less expensive than other models that offer as many features as it does. This washing m

Samsung upgrades Family Care with health data, smarter alerts, and easier setup

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has updated SmartThings Family Care with a mix of new features and refinements. The service now offers easier setup, smarter activity alerts, and Samsung Health integration. Families can register key locations and set reminders to help keep loved ones safe and on track. Samsung’s SmartThings platform already connects many of its TVs, appliances, and phones, but last year, the company pushed it into new territory with Family Care. This service a

Why AI Isn't Ready to Be a Real Coder

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the coding sphere, with AI coding tools completing source code, correcting syntax errors, creating inline documentation, and understanding and answering questions about a codebase. As the technology advances beyond automating programming tasks, the idea of full autonomy looms large. Is AI ready to be a real coder? A new paper says not yet—and maps out exactly why. Researchers from Cornell University, MIT CSAIL, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley hi

Connecticut Man’s Case Believed to Be First Murder-Suicide Associated With AI Psychosis

A case of murder-suicide in Connecticut earlier this month is being identified as potentially the first homicide fueled by a mentally disturbed person’s use of generative artificial intelligence, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. Police in Greenwich, Connecticut, found Stein-Erik Soelberg, a 56-year-old tech industry veteran, and his 83-year-old mother, both dead in the home where they lived together on Aug. 5, according to the Greenwich Police Department. Soelberg killed

10 Sunglass Colors and How They Improve Your Vision and Eye Health

Summer days and outdoor adventures go hand in hand. You know what else goes alongside? A great pair of sunglasses to keep your eyes protected. A solid pair of sunglasses is just as important as high quality sunscreen. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyes, and the tint of your lenses can make a much bigger difference than you might think. Different lens colors filter light in unique ways and can impact everything from eye health to depth perception. This means certain shades might be

Host an event beyond the main event: Apply to host a Side Event at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is where over 10,000 founders, VCs, and tech innovators collide on October 27-29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. But the conversations don’t end when the venue doors close.

Microsoft and Uber alum raises $3M for YC-backed Munify, a neobank for the Egyptian diaspora

Khalid Ashmawy remembers the first time he wired money home while studying in Europe. He had just received his monthly stipend as a master’s student in Stuttgart and wanted to send part of it back to his family in Cairo. It was usually a slow and expensive process, he recalled. A $400 wire transfer, for instance, could cost $40 in fees and take three business days to arrive. Years later, while working at Microsoft and Uber in the U.S., and even after founding a startup, that experience hadn’t

Google is killing a defining feature for Android phones soon - and there's one reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading. "But iOS is a walled garden. Apple controls what you can and can't install on your hardware." If I had a dime for every time an Android user said this argument to settle which mobile platform is the best, I'd be lying in a pool of dimes as I type.
