Google Wave's inbox, as seen on the Official Google Blog. ((Courtesy Google)) In May, Google announced Wave, the company's attempt to reinvent internet communication. Brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen, the Australian creators of Google Maps, have been working on the project for the last two years.

How Tesla Takedown got its start

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-15 13:56:54

On a sunny April afternoon in Seattle, around 40 activists gathered at the Pine Box, a beer and pizza bar in the sometimes scruffy Capitol Hill neighborhood. The group had reserved a side room attached to the outside patio; before remarks began, attendees flowed in and out, enjoying the warm day. Someone set up a sound system. Then the activists settled in, straining their ears as the streamed call crackled through less-than-perfect speakers. In more than a decade of climate organizing, it was

Android Automotive now lets apps show your food order status and more on your car’s home screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-15 17:15:46

Polestar TL;DR Android Automotive OS is getting a new feature called AppCard, which allows apps to display their most relevant data and functions on the home screen. AppCards can display information like the status of a food order, but the visual styling of these cards is controlled by carmakers, not app developers.

Is documentation like pineapple on pizza?

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Idaszak 2025-09-15 17:38:17

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju

Linux kernel WireGuard can go 'fast' on decent hardware

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-15 17:34:22

I'm used to thinking of encryption as a slow thing that can't deliver anywhere near to network saturation, even on basic gigabit Ethernet connections. This is broadly the experience we see with our current VPN servers, which struggle to turn in more than relatively anemic bandwidth with OpenVPN and L2TP, and so for a long time I assumed it would also be our experience with WireGuard if we tried to put anything serious behind it. I'd seen the 2023 Tailscale blog post about this but discounted it

Life with the Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 is great. In many ways, it’s exactly what we hoped for: a Switch, only better. And yet there’s something… underwhelming about it. Maybe it’s unfair, but we’ve come to expect Nintendo to consistently amaze us with either how its consoles work or the games you can play with them. In this case, it still feels like a Switch. Only better. And not universally better, either. On this episode of The Vergecast, now that a number of folks on our team have spent some real time with t

US court denies Apple’s request to dismiss antitrust case concerning iCloud

A California district court on Monday denied a request by Apple to throw out a class action lawsuit that alleges the iPhone maker violates competition laws by forcing users of its devices to back up their critical files and device settings on its cloud storage service, iCloud. The complaint also accuses Apple of not allowing third-party cloud services to access certain files, and preventing them from offering a “full-service” storage that competes with iCloud.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978. F1 has come and gone in the US and Mexico in that time, but Canada has been a near-constant, missing just 2009.
