Building a better online editor for TypeScript

Val Town makes it easy to ship TypeScript automations and applications to the internet via an integrated web editor experience. We strive to offer a magical tight feedback loop, with 100ms deploys on save. That online editor experience should be great: we should support high-quality highlighting, autocompletion, information for when you hover over bits of code. But unfortunately it hasn't been so: our previous editor has been buggy and slow to give useful TypeScript feedback. But now, we've re

The Only Bad Thing I Can Say About Bowers & Wilkins' Exceptional New PX8 S2 Headphones Is Their Price Hurts

If you're looking for evidence that the Trump administration tariffs are impacting consumer electronics prices, look no further than Bowers & Wilkins' new flagship PX8 S2 noise-canceling headphones. The original version carried a list price of $699 when they launched, but this 2nd-gen model comes out of the gate at $799. Is that too much to pay? For most folks, yes, but the PX8 S2 are easily among my favorite over-ear headphones. Not only do they sound even better than the original PX8 but both

Logitech Signature Solar Slim+ K980 Keyboard Review: See the Light

Solar panels have long been used in consumer tech, from Garmin smartwatches and TV remotes to even a laptop. I’ve always wondered why there hasn't been a greater push for them. It’s free power. What’s not to like? Earlier panels may not have been as efficient, but that's no longer the case. Logitech is no stranger to solar technology. It first made a solar-powered keyboard 15 years ago, the K750, and now the time is ripe for a successor: the Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980. Like the origina

European policymakers finally plan to fix the cookie banner headache they created

Why it matters: More than a decade ago, Europe rewrote internet rules which effectively forced the entire internet to adopt stricter rules on cookie consent by amending the ePrivacy Directive. Since 2009, from big tech giants, to small personal blogs, and virtually any internet-based organization had to display a "cookie banner" to first-time visitors. Collectively, European users spend an estimated 575 hours every year clicking through those pesky prompts. The European Commission is preparing

How is einx notation universal?

To address this question, let’s first look at how tensor operations are commonly expressed in existing tensor frameworks. Classical notation# Tensor operations can be dissected into two distinct components: An elementary operation that is performed. Example: np.sum computes a sum-reduction. A division of the input tensor into sub-tensors. The elementary operation is applied to each sub-tensor independently. We refer to this as vectorization. Example: Sub-tensors in np.sum span the dimensions

Quadratic memory reductions for Zero-knowledge Proofs

Top Programming Languages 2025

Since 2013, we’ve been metaphorically peering over the shoulders of programmers to create our annual interactive rankings of the most popular programming languages. But fundamental shifts in how people are coding may not just make it harder to measure popularity, but could even make the concept itself irrelevant. And then things might get really weird. To see why, let’s start with this year’s rankings and a quick refresher of how we put this thing together. In the “Spectrum” default ran

Keep an Eye Out for a Newly Discovered Comet in October

No tricks, but skywatchers may be in for an October treat when a newly discovered comet passes through our skies. Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) — or SWAN25B for short — looks to be heading our way.

"This is a milestone, the 20th official SWAN comet so far," Bezugly told Univers

For One Glorious Morning, a Website Saved San Francisco From Parking Tickets

Car owners in San Francisco fed up with parking tickets had a brief moment of respite on Tuesday thanks to a website called Find My Parking Cops.
