With that prelude out of the way, let's begin. Inside of emacs you can call up a list of potential completions by using the keyboard shortcut M-. (that’s "hit the meta key along with period", where "meta" is the Alt key for me). This applies in a wide variety of scenarios, like when completing class names or variables. If we want to ask emacs to hand us a list of potential references, then the system we want to hook into is this completions system. (This is the only time I'll assume we know wh
Friday's Nintendo Direct, the company's regular promotional livestream, celebrated the 40th anniversary of the company's legendary mascot. Mario is getting a new sports game for the Switch 2, a compilation of some of the best games in the series, a new Yoshi game and a new movie. Sept. 13 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo has a lot planned for the following year, the company announced during Friday's Nintendo Direct. For this anniversary, Nintendo is do
Maybe I'm just getting bent out of shape, but the new iPhone Air seems like it would be my worst nightmare. The slim and trim version of the brand new iPhone 17 was the star of Apple's "awe dropping" September event, with Apple bragging they created a model that's only 5.6 mm thick, about the size of three stacked credit cards. But I have to ask: Did anyone really ask for a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro
Nissan provided flights from Austin to San Diego and then to Washington, DC, and accommodation so Ars could drive the Nissan Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SAN DIEGO—The original Nissan Leaf was a car with a mission. Long before Elon Musk set his sights on Tesla selling vast numbers of electric vehicles to the masses, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn wanted Nissan to shift half a million Leafs a year in the early 2010s. That didn't quite come to pass, but by 2020, it had sold its
Lots of people are excited about the idea of using plants to help us draw down some of the excess carbon dioxide we've been pumping into the atmosphere. It would be nice to think that we could reforest our way out of the mess we're creating, but recent studies have indicated there's simply not enough productive land for this to work out. One alternative might be to get plants to take up carbon dioxide more efficiently. Unfortunately, the enzyme that incorporates carbon dioxide into photosynthes
Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work. Virtual Boy
Mario is returning to the big screen. Following the massive success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which made more than $1.3 billion worldwide in 2023, animation studio Illumination and Nintendo are releasing a sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in April 2026. Nintendo dropped a teaser trailer during its Direct presentation on Friday. The teaser doesn’t offer much about the movie, which takes its name from the 2007 platformer.Mario dozes in a field before title credits appear, that’s about

Mastodon, an open source, decentralized alternative to X, is rolling out a somewhat controversial feature by adding quote posts, which will launch next week. The feature, which allows a user to quote someone else’s post and re-share it with their own response or commentary, has contributed to a culture of “dunking” on X, where users often deride other people by responding with snark or insulting humor. To address this concern, Mastodon says it’s implementing quote posts with safety controls. T

In a press release, the pharmaceutical giant announced that it would soon let go of 11 percent of its workforce, totaling about 9,000 of its 78,400 employees around the world. A

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup is set to go up for pre-order this Friday and we are ready to start rounding up the best cases from our favorite brands. The most notable iPhone 17 cases are almost certain to come from the brands we have been testing out for years, and just about all of them have now debuted new 2025 collections. These include the latest models from Apple through to third-party brands we have been using ourselves for many years, some ultra-affordable options, and some with early exclu
I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks. But I always expected the iPhone Air’s battery would be “good
Nintendo is dropping a slew of Mario-related announcements this morning as part of the franchise's 40th anniversary, including a new game starring his dinosaur companion. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is coming out for Switch 2 in the Spring of 2026 and the brief bit of gameplay we saw plants it squarely in the cutesy yet intriguing tradition of past Yoshi platformers. The game's worlds and levels appear to be part of a book named Mr. Encyclopedia (or Mr. E for short) that Yoshi can jump into a
Nintendo had a truly wild surprise up its sleeve for Switch Online + Expansion Pack during its Direct event on Friday. The company is bringing back the Virtual Boy as a physical device into which you can slot your Switch or Switch 2. A plastic replica of the mid-90s tabletop system will soon be available for Switch Online members to buy. The company will sell a cardboard version of the accessory too. No need to rub your eyes in disbelief (but if history is any indication, you might have to for r
In one of the most unexpected announcements of today's Nintendo Direct, Game Freak revealed Pokémon Pokopia, a game that is clearly inspired by the Animal Crossing series. When Pokopia is released sometime next year, you'll assume the role of a Ditto determined to make a comfortable home for their friends. This Ditto has assumed the form of a human, and as they meet new Pokémon, they'll learn abilities they can use to transform their community. In turn, this work will lead to more Pokémon coming
Note: This press release has been updated to reflect new information regarding the guilty plea of one defendant in the District of Massachusetts. The Justice Department announced today coordinated actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) government’s schemes to fund its regime through remote information technology (IT) work for U.S. companies. These actions include two indictments, an information and related plea agreement, an arrest, searches of 29 known or suspec
For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has been with us ever since. While it’s true that this is the longest we’ve gone between major D3D version updates, it’s also not fair to say that the API has remained static. On the contrary, D3D12 has received a steady stream of new interfaces, functions, and shader models. These updates have included some ver
All large ships must have insurance, and Ro Marine has provided this in a big way. The Norwegian company did not have permission to sell insurance but did it anyway — to clients worldwide. In March, we reported how select ships used false papers to deceive inspectors in NATO countries. Now, NRK and Dossier Center can reveal how extensive and global the fraud was: over 100 ships have sailed with illegitimate insurance documents from Ro Marine. “It's very serious and unusual that such a seriou
Super Mario Bros. may head to space for a sequel, MJ and Ned return for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and James Gunn praises Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. Spoilers, away!

Deadline reported that production is likely to resume in 2026, with the extent of Cavill’s injuries unknown. Avengers: Doomsday Promotional artwork on
Beijing is souring on Nvidia. China, which used to be one of Nvidia’s largest markets, seems largely conflicted about reaccepting Nvidia’s lower-tech H20 chips that Trump administration finally allowed to resume sales of in July. The Chinese tech industry might be excited about the Nvidia chip flow resuming, but the government is allegedly not. Chinese authorities have discouraged local tech companies from purchasing Nvidia chips citing national security concerns, and even questioned industry
At last, we have a release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The latest adventure for Samus Aran will drop on December 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch. During its hour-long Nintendo Direct Thursday, Nintendo showed a new trailer for Retro Studio’s next game, which will see the hero don a new suit of armor to explore the new planet Viewros in ways only she can.

It's here. You can preorder the new iPhone lineup right now to ensure you get Apple's new flagship in your hand at launch.

A tech company's text-heavy mural in London's trendy Shoreditch area, known for its street art, used the word "VPN" 24 times without actually explaining what a virtual private network is or does. Which was kinda the point. The eye-catching artwork was the creation of VPN provider Surfshark and graffiti art company KingMurals, which collaborated on a PR stunt. VPNs, or virtual private networks, create an encrypted tunnel that lets you engage in online activity without exposing your IP address,
Apple’s 2025 iPhones are here, and things are quite different for the first time in a while. The base iPhone 17 will still feel familiar, but the iPhone 17 Pro models have a completely new look, and there's a brand-new model called the iPhone Air. The “Air” branding has been somewhat diluted of late—the current-gen iPad Pro models are lighter than the iPad Air—but the iPhone Air brings meaning back to the original idea: a super-thin and ultra-lightweight device. Preorders are live, and official
