Anker makes some of our favorite power banks, and one with a Qi2 charging function and 10,000mAh capacity is currently on sale. You can snap it up for $60. That's a 25 percent discount on the list price of $80. It is also the lowest price for this model so far in 2025. The power bank is currently available

The greenhouse gases we’re not accounting for

technologyreview.com James Temple 2025-12-15 00:00:00

Researchers around the world set to work unraveling the mystery, reviewing readings from satellites, aircraft, and greenhouse-gas monitoring stations. They eventually spotted a clear pattern: Methane emissions had increased sharply across the tropics, where wetlands were growing wetter and warmer. That created the ideal conditions for microbes that thrive in anaerobic muck, which gobbled up more of the carbon-rich organic matter and spat out more methane as a by-product.

Debounce

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-12 00:04:13

Debouncing, in the context of programming, means to discard operations that occur too close together during a specific interval, and consolidate them into a single invocation. Debouncing is very similar to throttling. The key difference is that throttling enforces limits on continuous operations, while debouncing waits for invocations to stop for a specific time to consolidate many noisy invocations into one single invocation. A typical use case of debouncing is when responding to user input.
