Rustroid, a Rust IDE for Android

The Story of Rustroid (and also me, I guess) ​ If you don't already know, Rustroid is a Rust IDE for Android that runs locally on the device. It All Began with Minecraft ​ Back in my past, I was a 12-year-old watching YouTubers play on Minecraft Java Edition servers with mods. The mods were awesome and mind-blowing, and I wanted to try them. One mod that I wanted to try so much was the Morph mod. It is a mod that allows you to become any creature that you kill. But I didn't have a PC or eve

‘GoldenEye’ is Coming Back to Theaters Next Week

We’re not getting a new James Bond movie for a while, but at least we can see an old one in theaters pretty soon. On Friday, October 3, GoldenEye will play in select theaters worldwide, and exclusively at Alama Drafthouse for U.S. audiences. The re-release serves two purposes: first, October 5 is James Bond Day—Dr. No, the first film in the series premiered on that day in 1962—and GoldenEye itself will turn 30 years old in November. (Beyond the deisgnated holiday, its October date may also be d

How a Travel YouTuber Captured Nepal’s Revolution for the World

When Harry Jackson pulled his small motorcycle into Kathmandu on September 8, he had no idea the city was exploding in protests. He didn’t even know there was a curfew. People in Nepal, largely driven by Gen Z youth, had taken to the streets, and that day riots broke out when nearly two dozen people were shot and killed by authorities. In the middle of it all was Jackson, a travel vlogger riding from Thailand to the United Kingdom on his bike. Within a day, the mass demonstrations that filled t

4Chan-Obsessed ICE Shooter Was Gaming on Steam Right Up Until the End

Right before he shot up a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in a murderous rampage this week, Joshua Jahn of Texas was playing first-person shooter games on Steam — a startling collision point where real life and the online world seemed to bleed into each other. Jahn’s astonishing gaming habit — more than 17,000 hours on Steam in total — was revealed in a Substack piece by investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who also learned from Jahn’s friends that he was a devoted hab

Is Silicon Valley Still the Tech Capital?

Lauren Goode: Another fun little anecdote, I recently did a story about vibe coding for WIRED and I embedded with an engineering team at Notion, and two of the leaders of the engineering team were both women, of the AI engineering team specifically. And I ended up pair programming with women throughout the day as well, and so I was like, this is pretty cool to see that... It was a good mix. Jason Kehe: The only thing I would add is that we had a former editor, a woman, who said not long ago tha

Steph Curry’s VC firm just backed an AI startup that wants to fix food supply chains

Food supply chains are notoriously messy. Orders arrive through different channels, staff spend hours manually entering them into clunky enterprise software systems, and compliance often depends on spreadsheets. For decades, software vendors have tried, with mixed success, to modernize the workflows behind the global movement of perishable goods. Now, a Y Combinator startup called Burnt thinks AI agents — software that can automatically handle tasks typically done by humans — can succeed where

Japanese Probe That Famously Sent Fictional Pop Star to Venus Is Officially Dead

Venus is officially a lonely planet. After losing contact with the Akatsuki spacecraft last year, Japan’s space agency (JAXA) has officially ended operations of the lone mission left in our neighboring planet’s orbit. Earlier this week, JAXA determined that the recovery of its Venus probe was unlikely, prompting it to formally end the 15-year-old mission. Akatsuki, which translates to “dawn” in Japanese, launched on May 21, 2010, to study weather patterns on Venus and confirm the presence of li

Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads

Beginning very soon, you'll need to have the JavaScript runtime Deno installed to keep YouTube downloads working as normal. Why? Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "interpreter" to solve the JavaScript challenges that are required for YouTube downloads. But due to recent changes on YouTube's end, the built-in JS interpreter will soon be insufficient for this purpose. The changes are so drastic that yt-dlp will need to leverage a proper JavaScript runtime in order

Jaguar Land Rover has not said what data was stolen. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement on Tuesday the production suspension will continue until next week, spe

From MCP to shell: MCP auth flaws enable RCE in Claude Code, Gemini CLI and more

How MCP Authentication Flaws Enable RCE in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and More index During our security testing, we discovered that connecting to a malicious MCP server via common coding tools like Claude Code and Gemini CLI could give attackers instant control over user computers. As a preview, here’s a video of us opening the calculator (“popping calc”) on someone’s computer through Claude Code: “Popping calc” is a harmless way of showcasing remote code execution. The exploits we found can

Fine-grained HTTP filtering for Claude Code

Posted on September 12, 2025 Fine-grained HTTP filtering for Claude Code Default‑deny HTTP(S) for dev tools and AI agents. Script rules in JS or shell, log every request, and keep egress within your policy. Coding agents are becoming more powerful every day without commensurate security and governance tooling. The result is a world where solo developers happily run claude --dangerously-skip-permissions for hours unmoderated while many of the world's most important organizations have barely tr

Help us raise $200k to free JavaScript from Oracle

After more than 27,000 people signed our open letter to Oracle about the “JavaScript” trademark, we filed a formal Cancellation Petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Ten months in, we’re finally reaching the crucial discovery phase. Deno initiated this petition since we have legal standing as a JavaScript runtime, but it’s really on behalf of all developers. If we win, “JavaScript” becomes public domain – free for all developers, conferences, book authors, and companies to use witho

This ‘Grue Jay’ Hybrid Looks Cool as Hell—but It’s a Warning Sign

Meet the “grue jay,” a rare offspring of a blue jay and a green jay—two common species whose evolutionary separation took place 7 million years ago. The resulting bird’s feathers are a muted, fashionable blue. But the marvelous discovery belies the fact that its existence may be the product of climate change’s threat to bird life. In a recent Ecology and Evolution paper, biologists at the University of Texas at Austin describe the odd jay in more detail, explaining how the blue and green jays’

A better future for JavaScript that won't happen

In the wake of the largest supply-chain attack in history, the JavaScript community could have a moment of reckoning and decide: never again. As the panic and shame subsides, after compromised developers finish re-provisioning their workstations and rotating their keys, the ecosystem might re-orient itself towards solving the fundamental flaws that allowed this to happen. After all, people have been sounding the alarm for years that this approach to dependency management is reckless and dangero
