Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro could appease fans of both landscape and portrait mode by including two front-facing cameras. That’s according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says Apple is adding a camera to the top of the device, in addition to the one it introduced lengthwise last year.

I've launched 37 products in 5 years and not doing that again

After launching 37 different products over the last few years, I’ve had one go viral and almost all the others struggle to get any traction at all. Like many indie makers, I used to think the best strategy was to just keep launching, make more bets, and hope one finally catches fire. But here’s what I’ve learned: Virality is rare and nearly impossible to predict Most of my launches that failed didn’t actually fail, they just grew much slower than I expected My current project, Refgrow, took

“Dynamic programming” is not referring to “computer programming”

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-08 21:09:07

When seeing the phrase “dynamic programming” in an algorithms class or leetcode study guide, the first question people ask is “what does ‘dynamic’ mean in this context?”. The key question is instead “what does ‘programming’ mean in this context?”, because it does not mean “computer programming”. Instead it refers to, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it, programming. n. 4. Planning carried out for purposes of control, management, or administration.

This clever feature from Apple’s next iPad is something Android tablets also need

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-13 04:15:59

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro M5 will reportedly include two front cameras — one on the landscape edge and another on the portrait edge. The change will allow users to better use both portrait and landscape orientations for selfies or calls. Android tablets should also adopt this approach for its practical benefits. Most big launches are done for this year, but we still have two heavyweights to look forward to in the coming months. Google will launch the

Super-resolution microscopes reveal new details of cells and disease

news.ycombinator.com Katarina Zimmer 2026-01-10 03:13:34

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells in human tissues, and observe “animalcules” — bacteria and protists — in the water of a lake. Increasingly powerful light microscopes followed, revealing cell organelles like the nucleus and energy-producing mitochondria. But by 1873, scientists realized there was a limit to the level of detail. W

Apple's next iPad Pro will reportedly get two front-facing cameras

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-12 22:20:42

The iPad Pro with the M5 chip is expected to be just as easy to use for selfies in a landscape or portrait orientation. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro that's expected to launch later this year. It may seem like a small quality-of-life upgrade, but it means the iPad Pro can use either camera to center the subject for selfies or FaceTime calls.

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3.

Best Portable Projector for Movies and Gaming Anywhere in 2025

How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image.

What Makes Cheap Earbuds a Real Value? Here's How I Find the Hidden Gems

A few months ago, Final Audio, a boutique Japanese brand, sent me its new, relatively low-priced ZE3000 SV noise-canceling earbuds to test. I was curious: Would this be a hidden gem among the dozens, even hundreds, of budget headphone options out there? Even as a full-time reviewer of these products, I can't keep up with all of them. So I did what I always do. I charged them up, then swapped out the default medium-size tips for the largest set of included ear tips and hoped I'd get a tight seal

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan
