Like temperatures, savings rates could start cooling off in September. Kristina Kokhanova/Getty Images Temperatures aren't the only thing that's elevated this summer. Savings rates are sizzling too. That's awesome news for anyone who wants to grow their money faster. But, just like temps, annual percentage yields can't stay high forever. The Federal Reserve is likely to keep rates where they are at its July 29-30 meeting, but it could begin cutting them in September. That makes now the time to
Python is an incredibly versatile programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Among its features, the ability to use classes for object-oriented programming is both powerful and frequently recommended. However, classes aren’t always the best solution. In many cases, Python’s built-in types, functions, and standard library modules provide simpler, cleaner alternatives. Here are several scenarios where you might not need a Python class: Simple Data Containers: Use Named Tuples

Netflix and Spotify have teamed up to launch a golf-inspired game as a way to promote “Happy Gilmore 2,” the sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 comedy film, which premieres on Netflix this Friday, July 25. This partnership represents a new venture for Spotify, as the music platform has never teamed up with another company to create a gaming experience within its app before. Gaming is an area Spotify has largely overlooked, so working with the streaming giant is notable, even if only for a promotion
President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for,” Trump said. “We appreciate that, but just can't do it— because it's not doable.” The president al

Update, July 23, 2025 (03:46 AM ET): Android Authority reached out to Once Were Nerd for this story, but he declined to comment in light of the ongoing investigation. When possible, he will “provide more in-depth updates on the matter on [his] channels.” The original story mentioned that unused consoles were sold on Facebook, but they were actually sold on Telegram. This has been corrected in the text below. Original article, July 22, 2025: Creating emulation-focused content online is risky bus
From Python 3.14, python -m pdb -p pid lets you connect a pdb session to a running Python process. This post goes into a part of what makes this possible. The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals. Instead, debugging tools can be built off of pretty straightforward knowledge of the language. This is powered by the languages treating things like exc

22nd July 2025 I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright? In April 2025, I received an email from an image licensing company (hereby "licensor") regarding an image used on my twitter archive. That image was owned by them, but used as the Open Graph image for a news article. They demanded I purchase a licen
Apple notified more than a dozen Iranians in recent months that their iPhones had been targeted with government spyware, according to security researchers. Miian Group, a digital rights organization that focuses on Iran, and Hamid Kashfi, an Iranian cybersecurity researcher who lives in Sweden, said they spoke with several Iranians who received the notifications in the last year. Bloomberg first wrote about these spyware notifications. Miaan Group published a report on Tuesday on the state of
Code Golf is the art/science of creating wonderful little demos in an artificially constrained environment. This year the js1024 competition was looking for entries with the theme of "Creepy". I am not a serious bit-twiddler. I can't create JS shaders which produce intricate 3D worlds in a scrap of code. But I can use slightly obscure JavaScript APIs! There's something deliciously creepy about Numbers Stations - the weird radio frequencies which broadcast seemingly random numbers and words. Ar
The biggest original film to arrive on Netflix this July is undoubtedly Happy Gilmore 2.

Happy Gilmore 2 is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, and features most of the original film's cast; Sandler is joined by Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan and Ben S

Python audio processing with pedalboard The pedalboard library for Python is aimed at audio processing of various sorts, from converting between formats to adding audio effects. The maintainer of pedalboard , Peter Sobot, gave a talk about audio in Python at PyCon US 2025, which was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in May. He started from the basics of digital audio and then moved into working with pedalboard . There were, as might be guessed, audio examples in the talk, along with some visual

James Gunn’s spent the past few weeks talking about why he agreed to do Superman, and he’s also taking time to address the awkward part: agreeing to do it at the apparent expense of Henry Cavill’s superhero comeback. In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill’s return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson’s thunderous antihero. Nothing came of that, however, because as Gunn explained in a recent Happy Sad Confused episode, it was “never part of the eq

A CD can be a smart way to grow your money safely. Rmcarvalho/Getty Images A certificate of deposit can give you some much-needed security in an economy that feels anything but certain. Your CD rate is fixed when you open the account, so your returns are guaranteed for the entire term. What might those returns look that? That depends on which account you choose. The best CDs earn annual percentage yields up to 4.50%, but the national average for some terms is less than a third of that. Here's
Prohibiting inbox.ru email domain registrations A recent spam campaign against PyPI has prompted an administrative action, preventing using the inbox.ru email domain. This includes new registrations as well as adding as additional addresses. The campaign created over 250 new user accounts, publishing over 1,500 new projects on PyPI, leading to end-user confusion, abuse of resources, and potential security issues. All relevant projects have been removed from PyPI, and accounts have been disabl
I started to code more in Python around 6 months ago. Why? Because of AI, obviously. It’s clear (to me) that big money opportunities are all over AI these days. And guess what’s the de facto programming language for AI? Yep, that sneaky one. I had used Python before, but only for small scripts. For example, this script scrapes metadata from all videos on my YouTube channel. The metadata is dumped as a JSON file that I use to nicely display statistics of the videos on this static page.
