Nemo Dagger Osmo Tent Review (2025): 2-Person Backcountry Palace

Nemo’s Osmo tents have long been WIRED favorites. The proprietary, hybrid Osmo fabric is a blend of nylon and polyester, with dual coatings (silicone on the outside, poly on the inside) that offer the weatherproofing of polyester with much of the durability of nylon. The Osmo Dagger we reviewed several years ago is still going strong. Earlier this year Nemo revamped the entire Dagger Osmo tent to be fully Bluesign compliant (previously just the fabric was).

The Tabs vs. Spaces war is over, and spaces have emerged victorious

The great indentation war is over and it seems like we have a clear winner. Every now and then, while exploring a new programming language, I inevitably stumble upon a heated debate, often buried deep in a GitHub issue thread, where contributors are passionately arguing over whether the language’s formatter should default to tabs or spaces. Over the past few months, as I’ve been immersing myself in Zig, I encountered one such discussion. It got me thinking: After decades of writing code, how i

npm 'accidentally' removes Stylus package, breaks builds and pipelines

npm has taken down all versions of the real Stylus library and replaced them with a "security holding" page, breaking pipelines and builds worldwide that rely on the package. A security placeholder webpage is typically displayed when malicious packages and libraries are removed by the admins of npmjs.com, the world's largest software registry primarily used for JavaScript and Node.js development. But that isn't quite the case for Stylus: a legitimate "revolutionary" library receiving 3 million

Behold the Distressingly Blue Mozzarella Stick Disneyland Will Sell You to Celebrate ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’

A new movie inevitably means new tie-in food, especially at a theme park operated by a studio hoping to cash in on its latest release. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters this week and is therefore in its prime time for this kind of marketing. We’ve all seen and/or shuddered at the blue Pop-Tarts, the questionable Little Caesars pizza, and the blue milk—but Disney Parks has just entered the chat with its own color-coordinated munchies. The top image seen here is the most startling ite

The Best Meal Replacement Shakes for Total Life Optimization (2025)

Flavor Texture Satiety TOTAL 8 8.5 9.2 8.6 With its founding in 2013, Soylent blazed a trail in the protein drink and meal-replacement market by eschewing the target markets of gains-obsessed bros and geriatrics without teeth to focus on busy tech bros who were fed up with the cost and inconvenience associated with food you have to cook and chew.
