Nearly every section has been completely rebuilt wholesale. Something happened very recently that makes this classic device relevant to the current moment. Can you guess what it is? Today in Tedium: July 1990, a full 35 years ago, was supposed to be the coming-out party for one of the best accessories ever created

Writing your Clojure tests in EDN files

Jacob O'Bryant | 19 Jul 2025 I've previously written about my latest approach to unit tests: [Y]ou define only the input data for your function, and then the expected return value is generated by calling your function. The expected value is saved to an EDN file and checked into source, at which point you ensure the expected value is, in fact, what you expect. Then going forward, the unit test simply checks that what the function returns still matches what’s in the EDN file. If it’s supposed to

We are likely to see this story repeat itself, with only the names at the top changing. Mercedes-Benz’s latest announcement does not bode well for the future of electric vehicles in the United States, especially as federal tax breaks are set to expire. On September 30, the federal incentives introduced under the Biden administration to support EV adoption will officially disappear.

The Qrevo S5V is half the price of Roborock’s best robot vacuums, but it’s still a top-tier cleaner

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy.
