wired.com Jaclyn Greenberg 2025-11-02 01:30:00

I’m embarrassed to admit this in my mid-forties, but I’ve never understood chess well enough to play a full game. My son and daughter both learned how to play in elementary school. I was glad they had that experience. I tried to pick up the game when they did, but, as a busy mom of three little kids, I just didn’t have the time, the interest, or the stamina to really sit down and learn. Chess became more popular during the pandemic, and the boom has stuck around; according to a recent Yougov.c

Google exec explains what makes Pixel better than Nexus

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-04 21:19:22

TL;DR A Google executive has outlined one specific reason why the Pixel program was better than its Nexus phone initiative. The executive confirmed that multi-year ideas were easier to develop with Pixels as Google wasn’t switching partners each year. He also pointed to Tensor chips as an example of an ambitious, years-long project under the Pixel banner. Google has offered Pixel phones since 2016, featuring an in-house approach to most of these smartphones. Prior to this, the company offered

NOTE: this is not a rust tutorial. Every year it was an incredible challenge to fit teaching Rust into lectures since you basically need all the concepts right from the start to understand a lot of programs. I never knew how to order things. The flip side was that usually when you understand all the basic components in play lots of it just fits together. i.e. there's some point where the interwovenness turns from a barrier into something incredibly valuable and helpful. —Jana Dönszelmann Visio
