‘The Long Walk’ Star Garrett Wareing on His Character’s Big Surprise

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-24 22:00:42

Now that The Long Walk is in theaters, members of its ensemble cast are free to talk spoilers. The movie, based on Stephen King’s story, revolves around a literal death march, so it’s not surprising that not all of the stars make it to the finish line. The brutal twists come with what order they go down—and at least one other surprising nuggets shared along the way. In a new interview with Deadline, Garrett Wareing, who plays Billy Stebbins, talked about his experiences on the film as well as w

Growing Up on Alcatraz

news.ycombinator.com Richard Faulk 2025-10-17 23:10:27

On a gray May morning — that’s to say a typical San Francisco May morning — in 2014, my mother, my wife, and I convened at Pier 33 to ride to Alcatraz, along with a literal boatload of tourists. But we were on a secret mission. Hours earlier, before leaving the Peninsula, I had opened the box containing my father’s ashes and portioned out perhaps a pint of the coarse, bone-white powder. I’m afraid we hadn’t planned with an eye for ceremony. There were no satin or fine linen sachets; just Ziplo

Hiroshima (1946)

news.ycombinator.com John Hersey 2025-12-04 20:59:38

I—A Noiseless Flash At exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk. At that same moment, Dr. Masakazu Fujii was settling down cross-legged to read the Osaka Asahi on the porch of his private hospital

‘Predator: Badlands’ Just Feasted on Its Comic-Con Audience

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-23 10:45:26

After the new Predator: Badlands trailer Fox released earlier this week, a Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con seemed unnecessary. That trailer had incredible action, massive creatures, super high-tech weapons, and Elle Fanning as an android being worn as a backpack. We are fully seated. What more could a fan of the franchise want? Well, apparently, a lot more, as Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg was joined by Fanning and others to show fans even more from their November 7 film. Fifteen minut

The conversation then moved to the record we have of the Earth's surface temperatures and the role of Berkeley Earth in providing an alternate method of calculating those. While the temperature records were somewhat controversial in the past, those arguments have largely settled down, and Berkeley Earth played a major role in helping to show that the temperature records have been reliable. Lately, those temperatures have been unusually high, crossing 1.5° C above pre-industrial conditions for t

Solving `Passport Application` with Haskell

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-15 17:01:15

There's a trend at the moment of solving online games with programming, let's do one from the UK called Passport Application, which is developed by "His Majesty's Passport Office" or HMPO. It's a cultural phenomenon in the UK: despite being quite expensive (about £100 just to start) for the standard online version (a masterpiece of minimalist design, entirely text-based), most British play the game, and do so every 10 years or so. It's an adventure puzzle document collection game. The premise i

Godfather Android malware now uses virtualization to hijack banking apps

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-03-05 05:54:28

A new version of the Android malware "Godfather" creates isolated virtual environments on mobile devices to steal account data and transactions from legitimate banking apps. These malicious apps are executed inside a controlled virtual environment on the device, enabling real-time spying, credential theft, and transaction manipulation while maintaining perfect visual deception. The tactic resembles that seen in the FjordPhantom Android malware in late 2023, which also used virtualization to ex

In particular, he warns families to be careful introducing young kids to grief bots, as they may not be able to grasp that the bot is not a real person. When he initially saw his young kids growing confused with whether their grandfather was alive or not—the introduction of the bot was complicated by the early stages of the pandemic, a time when they met many relatives virtually—he decided to restrict access to the bot until they were older. For a time, the bot only came out for special events l

It’s a day to celebrate all that dads have contributed to the people, homes, and communities that they’re a part of. Being a dad is a lot of work — something I can vouch for, being a relatively new one myself — so for Father’s Day, why not give dear old dad a token of appreciation and love?

24 Gifts for Dads Who Don’t Need Anything (2025)

wired.com Martin Cizmar 2026-03-18 05:31:00

your Dad doesn't need a gift for Father's Day. Ask any dad in your life, and he'll tell you the same. However, you should gift him something anyway. I am not only a dad and a gear reviewer, but also someone with a specific philosophy about what makes a good gift for middle-aged men like me. The best gifts for a dad are things that not only are relevant to his interests but also can be fairly described as “overkill.” Dads tend to like things that are useful but overbuilt. You can rarely go wrong
