July 27, 2025 The many, many, many JavaScript runtimes of the last decade This last decade has seen an inundation of new JavaScript runtimes (and engines in equal measure), enabling us to run JavaScript in all manner of contexts with precise fitness for task. Through these, we've seen the language spread to the Cloud, the edge, Smart TVs, mobile devices, and even microcontrollers.

A ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of Math Just Got a Little Bit Closer

wired.com Joseph Howlett 2026-01-02 22:00:00

“We mostly believe that all the conjectures are true, but it’s so exciting to see it actually realized,” said Ana Caraiani, a mathematician at Imperial College London. “And in a case that you really thought was going to be out of reach.” It’s just the beginning of a hunt that will take years—mathematicians ultimately want to show modularity for every abelian surface. But the result can already help answer many open questions, just as proving modularity for elliptic curves opened up all sorts of

Stephen Headrick / Android Authority I was so excited to try out one of the headlining features of Google’s latest Pixel Drop. “Was” is the keyword here, unfortunately.

New ‘Project Hail Mary’ Footage, and Ryan Gosling, Wowed Comic-Con

A few short weeks ago, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller graced us with an extended first look at their upcoming sci-fi adaptation, Project Hail Mary. The three-minute trailer for a movie not coming out for nine months displayed supreme confidence in the project, and after watching it, you could see why. So to then bring the film to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, along with its iconic star Ryan Gosling, felt almost like too much. We already have this glorious trailer. What more could we see?

Camera Champs Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro: Is It Even a Toss-Up Between the Two?

Yes, you can justify getting a top-end phone for its camera quality alone, but which one is best?

What is X-Forwarded-For and when can you trust it? (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-30 08:18:06

The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header provides crucial insight into the origin of web requests. The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers.
