Shiffman, the author of Why Sharks Matter, described early Twitter recently on the blog Southern Fried Science as "the world's most interesting cocktail party." "Then it stopped being useful," Shiffman told Ars. "I was worried for a while that this incredibly powerful way of changing the world using expertise was gone. It's not gone. It just moved. It's a little different now, and it's not as powerful as it was, but it's not gone. It was for me personally, immensely reassuring that so many othe

2025 VW Jetta GLI: Save the manuals, but not like this

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-10 05:39:10

Manual transmissions have gone the way of the dodo, but you can still find a few out there. Bless Volkswagen for keeping the helical gears turning, both literally and figuratively. The 2025 Jetta GLI, Volkswagen's sporty sedan, still offers a gear lever with actual gears attached at the other end, and a third pedal hanging down from under the dash. Meanwhile, Golf GTI fans are still sobbing in their beer because 2024 was the last model year you could row your own in the hot hatch—now it's paddle

Hyundai is working with a startup on plant-based leather that smells like the real thing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-11-10 05:10:00

Confession time: My household owns two cars, one with leather and one with “leather.” The former feels amazing, the latter … well, let’s just say it’s not fooling anyone. Based on the samples currently sitting on my desk, leather alternatives don’t have to feel so artificial or be so harsh on the environment. Most fake leathers are made using plastics derived from fossil fuels. The samples from Uncaged Innovations, though, are made mostly using grains including wheat, soy, and corn. The result

How to Slow Down a Program? and Why It Can Be Useful

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 09:38:35

Most research on programming language performance asks a variation of a single question: how can we make some specific program faster? Sometimes we may even investigate how we can use less memory. This means a lot of research focuses solely on reducing the amount of resources needed to achieve some computational goal. So, why on earth might we be interested in slowing down programs then?

I was surprised, and went off to do an informal survey of developers I know, only to discover that only about half of them knew what it was without searching for it.

Job titles of the future: Satellite streak astronomer

But in 2019, SpaceX began deploying its internet-beaming Starlink constellation, and the astronomical community started to sound alarm bells. The satellites were orbiting too low and reflected too much sunlight, leaving bright marks in telescope images. A year later, Rawls and a handful of her colleagues were the first to make a scientific assessment of the satellite streaks’ effect on astronomical observations, using images from the Víctor M.
