Poor child process management in Rust terminal apps leads to terminal corruption

When a terminal application that spawns child processes doesn't exit cleanly after a Ctrl+C , the user is left with a corrupted terminal. Instead of a clean prompt, you get garbled output and a non-functional shell. This post covers how to solve these issues, with examples from the Moose CLI (for the PR that fixed many of these issues, see here). In this post, you’ll read learnings from solving these issues in the Moose CLI— terminal application that manages multiple child processes, including

The math is haunted

July 30, 2025 For the past few months, I’ve been writing a lot of Lean. Lean is a programming language, but it is mostly used by mathematicians. That is quite unusual! This is because Lean is designed to formalize mathematics. Lean lets mathematicians treat mathematics as code—break it into structures, theorems and proofs, import each other’s theorems, and put them on GitHub. The big idea is that eventually much of the humanity’s mathematical knowledge might be available as code—statically c

ReproZip – reproducible experiments from command-line executions

ReproZip ReproZip is a tool aimed at simplifying the process of creating reproducible experiments from command-line executions, a frequently-used common denominator in computational science. It tracks operating system calls and creates a package that contains all the binaries, files and dependencies required to run a given command on the author's computational environment (packing step). A reviewer can then extract the experiment in his environment to reproduce the results (unpacking step). Q

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold dimensions tell a grim yet promising story

Late last week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ dimensions. While all phones in the line-up are getting heavier than their predecessors in the Pixel 9 series, it’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold that jumped out to me, mostly because it’s eschewing the entire foldable industry’s trend right now. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly narrower than the 9 Pro Fold (while also sporting smaller bezels and a larger outer display), but it’s a little thicker when unfolded, even thicker when fold

Google Pixel 11 rumors: Release date, codename, camera features, and everything else we know so far

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Although we’re still waiting for the Google Pixel 10 series to launch, we already have substantial information about the Pixel 11 series. This is courtesy of a significant Google Chips division leak from the Android Authority team. Will the Pixel 11 bring noteworthy changes to Google’s lineup? The answer might be yes, though whether these changes are improvements will likely depend on individual preferences. Let’s explore the current Pixel 11 rumors and a short

Drawing for the New Yorker

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Google Pixel 10 launch: What we expect to see at the Made by Google event on August 20

After largely focusing Google I/O 2025 on the ways the company wants Gemini to change everything from searching the web to filmmaking, Google is finally ready to launch new hardware. The next Made by Google event is on the books for August 20, and Google has already confirmed what at least one of its new Pixel 10 phones will look like. Google remains as leak-prone as ever, so nearly all the new hardware the company is expected to announce has all ready been reported on in one form or another. W

Leak reveals Pixel 10 prices, and they’re exactly what we hoped for

TL;DR The prices for the entire Google Pixel 10 series have leaked. It appears there won’t be any price increases this year. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL may have a new starting price. A question we have long had about the Pixel 10 series is whether there will be a price hike. With the ongoing tariff situation, there seemed to be a good chance that we could see higher prices. Those fears may have been put to rest, however, after the most recent Pixel 10 leak. The prices of the entire Pixel 1

iOS 18.6 has important security fixes, here are the full details

Apple has just released iOS 18.6, the latest iPhone update for users. Though anyone hoping for big new features will have to wait for iOS 26 this fall, today’s new iOS 18.6 release does provide a host of important security fixes. Here are the full details. We all have our own reasons for installing iOS updates. For some, it’s compelling new features we want to try. For others, the need to stop our iPhone from bugging us with pop-up alerts. Whatever your reason, iOS 18.6 is recommended for all

The Pixel 10 might finally add the magic of MagSafe to Android phones (if Google gets it right)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET There's been no shortage of Pixel 10 leaks leading up to its expected August launch event -- even Google has taken part in it. But while all eyes are on external design and camera changes, the biggest feature upgrade with the next-gen Pixels may actually be hidden in plain sight.

NordVPN joins the scam call fight on Android

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR NordVPN has launched a Scam Call Protection feature for Android users in the US. It flags suspicious numbers using metadata, without listening to or storing call content. The feature works on any Android device with the NordVPN app and Premium plan. Scam calls aren’t slowing down and are getting smarter in many cases. While most modern smartphones already do a decent job of flagging suspicious numbers, NordVPN thinks it can do better. The company has jus

Deals: iPhone 16 Pro $498 off, M4 iPad Pro, Apple Pencil $59, Mac Studio $900 off, MacBooks, more

While we are still tracking a particularly notable $200 off across the M4 MacBook Air lineup with deals from $799, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break does have some fresh deals to scope out.

Those offers also join the return of Amazon all-time low pricing on the Apple Pencil USB-C at $59 and a host of notable acces

Skechers is making kids’ shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment

Skechers introduced a line of kids’ sneakers that contain a hidden compartment where parents can slip in an Apple AirTag. Inside the heel of the shoe, a small insert can be lifted to reveal the compartment. Then, parents can track the location of their child — or, at least their child’s shoes. These shoes don’t come with an AirTag, and they don’t appear to be an actual collaboration with Apple, but rather, a third-party product that Skechers has developed on its own. The shoes were announced i

M5 MacBook Pro could pose a big dilemma for upgrade decisions

If you’re interested in a new MacBook Pro, the current M4 model is an excellent option. But the M5 MacBook Pro will launch in the coming year too, and decisions about whether to upgrade could be a lot more complicated than usual. M5 vs M6 MacBook Pro: Two very different options For anyone expecting to upgrade their MacBook Pro in the coming year or so, Apple may have two very different options for you. The M5 MacBook Pro, which will launch either later this year or in early 2026, isn’t expect

Leak Reveals Colors for Entire iPhone 17 Lineup, Including a Bold Orange for the 17 Pro

Looks like the iPhone 17 Pro won’t come in sky blue after all. Long-time iPhone leaker Sonny Dickson has shared what he claims are dummy models for the entire iPhone 17 lineup expected to be announced in September. Notably, there’s a new non-boring orange color for iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. God, please be real! As you can see in his X post, there’s an orange shade of the iPhone 17 Pro/17 Pro Max alongside the less flashy black, white, and navy blue. As I’ve said before, Apple desperately ne

YouTube loosens profanity rules for monetized videos

YouTube is tweaking its profanity-related rules to allow creators to monetize videos with swearing in them, provided the profanity is contained to the first seven seconds of the video. In November 2022, YouTube changed its rules so that creators who used swear words in the first 8-15 seconds would potentially be ineligible for any ad revenue. After much backlash, the company changed its rules again in March 2023 so that such videos would be eligible for limited ad revenue, unless they use profa

YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization. In 2022, YouTube introduced a policy that would flag videos using profane language in the first several seconds as ineligible for advertising. It relaxed that rule a bit in 2023.

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

Key takeaways: The rumored iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be released in early September. The Pro is rumored to be getting a scratch-resistant antireflective display.

Space Force bets on commercial entrants in $4B satcom contest

American warfighters need jam-proof communications, and the Space Force is planning to spend hundreds of millions to ensure they have them.

There, an often-overlooked graduate program is quietly outpacing expectations a
