Starship will soon fly over towns and cities, but will dodge the biggest ones

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 15:18:44

Some time soon, perhaps next year, SpaceX will attempt to fly one of its enormous Starship rockets from low-Earth orbit back to its launch pad in South Texas. A successful return and catch at the launch tower would demonstrate a key capability underpinning Elon Musk's hopes for a fully reusable rocket. In order for this to happen, SpaceX must overcome the tyranny of geography. Unlike launches over the open ocean from Cape Canaveral, Florida, rockets departing from South Texas must follow a narr

President Trump just made it a lot more expensive for companies to hire foreign workers through the H-1B program. The White House announced Friday that Trump signed a proclamation requiring employers to pay a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, an enormous jump from the current $215 lottery registration fee. H-1B visas allow U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in fields that typically require technical expertise like IT, engineering, mathematics, or medicine. The program is ca

The long-promised deal to "save" TikTok remains elusive even as the US and China seem to be inching toward an agreement. On Friday, President Donald Trump did little to clarify where the deal currently stands following a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said both that the two had "made progress" on "approval of the TikTok Deal" and that he "appreciate[s] the TikTok approval."

‘Night of the Reaper’ Is a Retro Babysitter Slasher With a Mystery Twist

Night of the Reaper begins with a familiar slasher movie scenario: a babysitter being stalked by a killer. The masked menace puts on a big show of toying with her, leaving creepy notes that almost feel like a prank until the danger gets all too real. It’s a freaky opening sequence that signals director and co-director Brandon Christensen (Still/Born, Z) is well familiar with the horror tropes his movie is leaning into—and you can tell he knows his audience will pick up on them too.

Good day. One of the first things you learn about shaders is that color values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This is known as 8-bit “unorm” color, because each channel has 256 color values, is unsigned (meaning no negatives) and normalized to the 0.0 to 1.0 range. Most of the time, we don’t need to think about this because 8-bits is enough for outputting colors to the screen. Sometimes, blending 8-bit colors is just not enough though.
