cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-23 12:00:06

As someone who writes about wellness and loves birdwatching, I've experienced firsthand how much joy birds can bring to your daily routine. And science backs it up. Listening to birdsong and spending time watching feathered visitors has been shown to lower stress, ease anxiety and even help reduce symptoms of depression. It's a simple but powerful way to feel more grounded and connected to nature. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city. I had to actively seek out nature

9 Best Coolers WIRED Tested for Every Budget, Any Situation

All the coolers we've recommend above are capable of holding things at a safe temperature for a day, provided you keep them in the shade. Similarly, if you're navigating rugged terrain, you might want beefy wheels—and if you're just going to the beach, you might not need them. Hard-sided coolers: These range from the

Async I/O on Linux in databases

I've been working on a complex multi-model database for a few weeks now, and recently I took time to simplify and test out an idea I had on a simple key-value database. I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)
