gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-10 20:00:10

A zoo in Denmark has made an unusual request: if you feel like it, send us your pets so we can keep our lovely predator population well-fed. As one would expect, there’s been a bit of public outcry over the “Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators,” the zoo said, in a Facebook post, noting that such animals are “reminiscent of what” predators would “naturally hunt in nature.” It added: “In zoos, we have a responsibility to emulate the animal’s natur

Browsing the toy aisle at Target, Ari and Aiden were in for a surprise. There, among the newly stocked Lego sets, was a box with an image of a familiar-looking space vehicle. "I pointed at the box and said, 'Hey, what's that?' and they said, 'It's MAPP!'" said Andrew "AJ" Gemer, Ari and Aiden's father. "They didn't even know we had a Lego set until the day it was released." "It was cool to see their faces light up like that," he said in an interview with collectSPACE. The box for the new Lego

Making Postgres slower

news.ycombinator.com Jacob Jackson 2025-12-28 10:12:59

July 27, 2025 Everyone is always wondering how to make Postgres faster, more efficient, etc, but nobody ever thinks about how to make Postgres slower. Now, of course, most of those people are being paid to focus on speed, but I am not (although, if you wanted to change that, let me know). As I was writing a slightly more useful guide, I decided someone needed to try to create a Postgres configuration optimized to process queries as slowly as possible. Why?

The Knowledge Project Podcast When Katharine Graham took over the Washington Post in 1963, she was a shy socialite who’d never run anything. By retirement, she’d taken down a president, ended the most violent strike in a generation, and built one of the best-performing companies in American history. Graham had no training, no experience, not even confidence. Just a newspaper bleeding money and a government that expected her to fall in line. Public Release: July 29. Members have access now .

Jeff Bezos is thinking about buying the financial news network CNBC, according to a new report from the New York Post, which cites anonymous sources.

The new Superman movie continues to rule the box office after its second weekend, leading the pack with $57 million from US audiences, and this relaunch of the DC universe is only getting started. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman is already well-known (and moments after he loses any fight-winning streak he previously had). I won't provide any more details
