Watch Live as SpaceX Tries to Prove Starship Isn’t a Total Flop With Flight 10

SpaceX is gearing up for the tenth test flight of its megarocket following a streak of failures that have cast doubt on Starship’s ability to fly to Mars in 2026. Starship is slated for lift-off on Sunday, August 24, during a launch window that opens at 7:30 p.m. ET. SpaceX recently wrapped up investigations into the rocket’s previous test flight, which took place on May 27 and ended with the vehicle breaking apart during reentry.

WebR – R in the Browser

WebR - R in the Browser WebR is a version of the statistical language R compiled for the browser and Node.js using WebAssembly, via Emscripten.

I Can’t Stop Playing Duolingo Chess

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

Writing Micro Compiler in OCaml (2014)

TL;DR Writing micro compiler in OCaml At one point or another every single software developer in the world comes to a realization in his career when the time is ripe and it’s time to write your own super cool programming language. However the subject of creating your own programming language with an compiler is quite a complex one and can’t be tackled without some pre-research. That’s how I’ve started reading Crafting Compiler in C, an aged but really comprehensive book about developing your o

Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately

It’s hard to find programmers these days who aren’t using AI coding assistants in some capacity, especially to write the repetitive, mundane bits. But those who refused to try the tools when Coinbase bought enterprise licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor got promptly fired, CEO Brian Armstrong said this week on John Collison’s podcast “Cheeky Pint.” (Collison is the co-founder and president of the payments company Stripe.) After getting licenses to cover every engineer, some at the cryptocur

Even More Shrimp Just Got Recalled Because of Radiation, at More Grocery Stores

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Alas, nuclear waste may have seeped into a greater share of delectable sea bugs than initially believed. On Thursday, the US Food and Drug Administration said that even more bags of frozen shrimp are being recalled for possible radioactive contamination after another company, Southwind Foods, voluntarily pulled its product. "I think they're doing the recall as a precautionary approach," Barbara Kowalcyk, director of the Institute for Food Safety and Nutr

This MagSafe gaming controller is giving LG Wing vibes, and we are here for it

TL;DR Abxylute is planning to release a Bluetooth gaming controller that takes advantage of MagSafe/Qi2. When attached to your phone, the controller can live out of way on the back, and pivot down for a quick gaming session. Sales are set to begin this October, but pricing has yet to be revealed. Who doesn’t love it when phones get a little weird? Foldables are cool and all (especially when we start getting into multi-fold territory) but when it comes to one-of-a-kind designs, there’s nothing

Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 deal: Is it better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7?

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be getting more attention, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s your best flip phone option. Many will prefer the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, especially at the current discounted price point. This offer puts both phones at the exact $1,099.99 cost, but the Motorola handset usually is $1,399.99, and many would argue it is actually a better phone.

Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst Ever Detected Hits Telescopes Across North America

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came from. Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy

Android’s big redesign is full of blur, but Google will soon let you easily turn it off

Here’s the full quote from Mindy Brooks, for reference: “On the question of blur specifically, our hope with the use of blur was to be able to focus your attention, as a user and be able to keep you, visually where you need to be on the screen. And that was really the design principle behind it is how do you minimize distraction, by the use of blur. But that said, we obviously know that it doesn’t meet the needs of all users. So we will be rolling out a new customization setting so that you can

Samsung's new $29,999 Micro RGB TV looks ridiculously good

Last week, Samsung announced the world's first Micro RGB TV and while it sounded fantastic on paper, you can never really get a good sense of what a fresh display looks like until you see it in person. But after going to Samsung's new headquarters in New Jersey, I can attest that it is truly a sight to behold. Now, before we get to the TV itself, it's probably a good idea to dive into what's going on with Samsung's latest panel tech. In many ways, Micro RGB is a step up from current Mini LED sc

Should the web platform adopt XSLT 3.0?

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? Background This is a follow-up to #11523. That issue raises concerns regarding security issues, code maintainability, and the complexity of aging browser code currently used for rendering XML with XSLT stylesheets. I highly recommend reading through that issue first as it includes a good background of XSLT on the web as well as the specific concerns that may lead to deprecating XSLT as the most prudent option for browser vendors. As a reminder, please

Google Did Not Unilaterally Decide to Kill XSLT

It’s uncommon, but not unheard of, for a GitHub issue to spark an uproar. That happened over the past month or so as the WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group, which I still say should have called themselves a Task Force instead) issue “Should we remove XSLT from the web platform?” was opened, debated, and eventually locked once the comment thread started spiraling into personal attacks. Other discussions have since opened, such as a counterproposal to update XSLT in the web

Media over QUIC (MoQ): Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack

13 min read For over two decades, we've built real-time communication on the Internet using a patchwork of specialized tools. RTMP gave us ingest. HLS and DASH gave us scale. WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today. But using them together in 2025 feels like building a modern application with tools from different eras. The seams are starting to show—in complexity, in latency, and in the f

‘Birds of Prey’ Almost Featured Another DC Bird: The Penguin

Before Colin Farrell became the Penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the character almost had a different origin story in the DC Universe. According to star and producer Margot Robbie, early versions of the script for her Harley Quinn vehicle Birds of Prey, featured the iconic Batman villain as the main antagonist, but then someone stepped in and asked that not to happen. “Matt Reeves said, ‘Don’t use the Penguin. I’m going to use him in my thing,'” Robbie explained to Farrell in an interview wi
