9to5mac.com Abner Li 2026-02-14 11:51:42

Ahead of iOS 26 launching this fall, Apple Music for Android is beta testing version 5.0.0 with new features and design tweaks. The Android app does not get a Liquid Glass redesign with the same bottom bar and docked Now Playing controls as before. It’s unfortunate from a cross-platform parity standpoint, but hopefully a future update will introduce it. That said, there are some design tweaks like pill-shaped buttons throughout the app replacing the rounded rectangles. For example, shuffle, re

news.ycombinator.com No Author 2026-02-14 08:47:18

A Kyoto University research team has developed a pain-reliever that is comparable to morphine but does not have serious side effects.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have everything in the world just for yourself — where every resource and every service is just for you? Imagine you have rented a private villa on a small, quiet island. Everything in the villa — the rooms, the pool, and the beach — is just for you.

PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator

PHP 8.5, due out November of this year, will bring with it another long-sought-after feature: the pipe operator ( |> ). It's a small feature with huge potential, yet it still took years to happen. What is a pipe operator? The pipe operator, spelled |> , is deceptively simple. It takes the value on its left side and passes it as the single argument to a function (or in PHP's case, callable ) on its right side: $result = "Hello World" |> strlen(...) // Is equivalent to $result = strlen("Hello W
