Porsche’s best daily driver 911? The 2025 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid review.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-27 23:00:44

Porsche 911 enthusiasts tend to be obsessive about their engines. Some won't touch anything that isn't air-cooled, convinced that everything went wrong when emissions and efficiency finally forced radiators into the car. Others love the "Mezger" engines; designed by engineer Hans Mezger, they trace their roots to the 1998 Le Mans-winning car, and no Porschephile can resist the added shine of a motorsports halo. I'm quite sure none of them will feel the same way about the powertrain in the new 9

Should we remove XSLT from the web platform?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 00:37:13

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? XSLT v1.0, which all browsers adhere to, was standardized in 1999. In the meantime, XSLT has evolved to v2.0 and v3.0, adding features, and growing apart from the old version frozen into browsers. This lack of advancement, coupled with the rise of JavaScript libraries and frameworks that offer more flexible and powerful DOM manipulation, has led to a significant decline in the use of client-side XSLT. Its role within the web browser has been largely sup

Marco Giancotti , August 15, 2025 Cover image: Kazuenokami Katō Kiyomasa Observing a Monkey with a Writing Brush, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi I recently came across a short essay about kanji—Japanese logographic characters—by a certain James W.

And it is a bad idea, claims Heisig, to try learning both at the same time. Japanese children learn the spoken language fir

GPT-5's rollout fell flat for consumers, but the AI model is gaining where it matters most

watch now Sam Altman turned OpenAI into a cultural phenomenon with ChatGPT. Now, three years later, he's chasing where the real money is: Enterprise. Last week's rollout of GPT-5, OpenAI's newest artificial intelligence model, was rocky. Critics bashed its less-intuitive feel, ultimately leading the company to restore its legacy GPT-4 to paying chatbot customers. But GPT-5 isn't about the consumer.

‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-28 12:15:05

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an icon. From the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical ep

December 2022 Recently I noticed that most existing “why you should write a blog” articles (e.g.) have at least one of two shortcomings, according to me: They mostly focus on counterarguments to not starting a blog, rather than positive arguments in favor of starting one—as if people’s natural state is to produce amazing blogs and the only thing holding them back is silly misconceptions.

What they advertised was fairly benign on its surface: fitness, community, preparation, survivalist training.
