Sony raises PS5 console prices in the US

Sony held out longer than Microsoft and Nintendo, but it too is increasing the prices of PlayStation consoles in the US starting on August 21.

Improvements to OCaml code editing: the basics of a refactor engine

Refactoring features have contributed to the popularity of editors like IntelliJ, as well as certain programming languages whose editor support offers interactive mechanisms to manage code — Gleam being an excellent example. Even though OCaml has some features related to refactoring (such as renaming occurrences, substituting typed holes with expressions, and case analysis for pattern matching), the goal of my internship was to kickstart work on a robust set of features to enable the smooth inte

Made by Google 2025: The Biggest Pixel 10 Leaks We've Heard as Launch Arrives

The new Pixel 10 line will debut Wednesday at the Made by Google event, and it almost feels like we've already seen the phones revealed, thanks to a combination of official glimpses of the new phones from Google alongside a plethora of rumors. Google isn't hiding that the Pixel 10 is coming, as the company itself has posted multiple stylized shots of the phone to promote its launch event. However, Google is still keeping detailed specs and features of the Pixel 10 line to itself, so we won't ge

Why we still build with Ruby in 2025

When we started Lago, we picked Ruby on Rails for our core API. The choice was obvious because our founding team had decade of Rails experience. Rails was the fastest way we could build an API product. Today, we’ve receive millions of API calls a day. We’ve upgraded through multiple Ruby/Rails versions. Maybe that sounds silly in a world where young, Python/Go/JS-wielding entitlements have never even heard of Ruby. We do admit that we’ve added Go and Rust where it makes sense. But if we were

What iPad mini and iPadOS 26 can teach us about the future of iOS

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on

The First-Ever Prescription Gummy for Hair Loss: Everything You Need to Know

Losing between 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal, but shedding beyond that can be concerning and stressful. If you've tried serums, vitamins and topical solutions but nothing has helped, you're not alone. Even Gen Z Reddit users have the same concern, wondering what might be contributing to it and how to get rid of hair loss. How about a prescription gummy for hair loss?

It's the Economy, Donald

For months, the mantra inside the White House has been a MAGA version of “Keep calm and carry on.” President Donald Trump’s inner circle and more junior aides have embraced the term “No panicans”—specifically around tariffs—to signal there is no room to panic over, and certainly no room for dissent from, the president’s economic policies. The administration’s areas of focus—deporting immigrants whose labor powers key sectors like agriculture and construction, levying tariffs, and cutting social

Apple likely won’t release an M5 MacBook Pro until next year, but should you wait for it?

Apple has typically updated the MacBook Pro on a nearly annual basis, generally around October.

Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console. Created in 2019, the specification had languished in relative obscurity for years because the cheap, plentiful non-Express microSD cards were generally fast enough for the things that people were using them for, and because most hardware didn't support microSD Express cards in the first place. However, Nintendo's console needed performance closer to that of an internal SSD to

Vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature

Why does this exist?

Branch prediction: Why CPUs can't wait?

Recently, I have had some free time and started learning some low-level computer fundamentals, trying to practice and better understand the concepts in greater detail. Along the way, I learned about a modern compiler infrastructure named LLVM, which is a target-independent optimizer and code generator that has been used as a part of many compilers for different programming languages like Rust, Zig, or Haskell.

This 3D Printer Has Four Different Extruders. It's the Best Thing Snapmaker's Ever Made

Snapmaker's 3D printers don't always follow trends. The original Snapmaker was a small three-in-one machine that could be a 3D printer, laser cutter or CNC, depending on the type of tool head you use. For years, the company has iterated on that idea, culminating in the much larger Artisan model. After that, Snapmaker tried a dual-nozzle 3D printer called the J1. In my review of the J1, I liked that the nozzles could print two models at the same time, reducing the time it takes to print batches,
