‘Helluva Boss’ Team Breaches Tumblr Containment With ‘Homestuck’ Animated Series

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-11 06:40:53

The most online of people likely remember Homestuck, Andrew Hussie’s internet fiction series. After Hussie ended the webcomic in 2016, loyal fans have kept it alive with various side projects and Hussie’s occasional guidance. Now, it’s getting its biggest side project yet in the form of an animated series. Or rather, the pilot for one. This comes courtesy of Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano and her animation company Spindlehorse, and with some well-known voice talent attached. Video game a

Gurman: All-new App Intents feature and Siri overhaul on track to launch next spring

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is aiming to ship its brand new App Intents feature, allowing Siri to take actions for you, next Spring – alongside its long-promised Siri overhaul. These features were initially on track to launch during the iOS 18 release cycle, though Apple faced engineering delays. Now, they should launch by ~iOS 26.4, according to current reporting. Apple’s Siri delays sure have been disappointing, and Apple likely shouldn’t have announced the features without ha

5 Best Electric Toothbrushes, Backed by Dentists and Hygienists

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-12-11 06:30:00

What About U-Shaped Toothbrushes? There are many U-shaped toothbrushes available now that use a mouthpiece full of bristles to brush one section of teeth—or sometimes the entire mouth—all at once in around 30 seconds. We've tried a few and think they're fine to use in addition to regular brushing. None of them are as effective as standard electric toothbrushes. Bill Busch of North Kansas City Dental and Joseph Salim, owner of Sutton Place Dental Associates, agree that these aren't replacements.

Inside the automated warehouse where robots are packing your groceries

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-12-11 09:00:00

It’s the lack of noise you notice first. There’s no clatter of equipment, rumble of engines, or chatter of coworkers. Only the low hum of electronics. For an industrial space, this is eerily quiet, but it makes sense in a building where robots might outnumber people. I’m at a warehouse — or customer fulfilment center (CFC) — operated by online grocery company Ocado in Luton, just outside London.

P-fast trie, but smaller

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-07 04:18:52

Previously, I wrote some sketchy ideas for what I call a p-fast trie, which is basically a wide fan-out variant of an x-fast trie. It allows you to find the longest matching prefix or nearest predecessor or successor of a query string in a set of names in O(log k) time, where k is the key length. My initial sketch was more complicated and greedy for space than necessary, so here’s a simplified revision. (“p” now stands for prefix.)

Which colors are primary?

news.ycombinator.com James Gurney 2025-12-07 03:06:45

Artists traditionally refer to red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. These three colors were once believed to be the essential set for mixing a broad palette in painting. Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea

You may have noticed vitamin E on the label of your favorite skin-care products. It's a nutrient that can help protect your skin from UV damage, making it a common ingredient for facial sunscreens. But vitamin E isn't just applied topically -- you also need to get it in your daily diet. Consuming enough vitamin E is crucial because it plays a key role in human development and functioning. The vitamin includes eight compounds, but only one of those -- alpha-tocopherol -- is used in the human body
