wired.com Sarah Sinclair 2025-09-08 17:16:15

Having dedicated much of his working life to studying the cannabis plant, Radišič believes it is uniquely qualified for space agriculture. It grows fast, adapts well, and has been an agricultural crop for thousands of years. According to Radišič, if at some point we want to grow life on Mars, this makes it an ideal candidate. “Sooner or later, we will have lunar bases, and cannabis, with its versatility, is the ideal plant to supply those projects,” he tells WIRED. “It can be a source of food, p

Tharon Green/CNET Though the housing market is never immune to political and economic volatility, mortgage rates have been eerily calm. Over the last month, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has moved in a narrow range between 6.8% and 7%. An escalating war in the Middle East could spark fresh volatility across global markets, significantly affecting oil prices and the US dollar. That would have a ripple effect on long-term Treasury yields and mortgage rates. Mortgage rates had be

F1 the Movie review: A shameless Apple ad that will blow your socks off

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-08 21:48:08

The first thing in F1 the Movie, before a single word of dialog is uttered, is a pair of AirPods Max. They're so comfortable, Brad Pitt's lovable loser protagonist Sonny Hayes is able to sleep with them all night, then hop up and begin his day of driving fancy race cars. If you paid $550 for the AirPods Max, you too could be like Brad Pitt! It's hard to ignore the blatant commercialism of F1 the Movie; you might as well call it a $300 million ad for Formula One everything Apple. The film is pro

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

news.ycombinator.com Steve Dignam 2025-09-09 03:09:21

I’ve been working on Squawk for a while, it’s a linter for PostgreSQL, and it now uses a handmade parser. So let’s explore some interesting bits from the Postgres grammar. Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators. For example, Postgres uses <-> for comparing geometric types, along with a whole host of others: ## , @-@ , # , @> , <@> , &< , &> , |>> , |<< , <^ , >^ , ?- , ?| , ?|| , ~= . Note: custom operator

Making TRAMP go Brrrr

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines. Since I am Emacs user, the most common way to do this is using TRAMP (Transparent Remote access, Multiple Protcol). TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension. I had used TRAMP before and it tended to be slow. Since I would be using it all day now I figured I should take some time to make it faster.
