How do we even begin engaging with the vast stores of knowledge and wonder in a library? For many of us, the Dewey Decimal System gives us an entry point, breaking the library catalogue into more manageable groups. However, this system was developed in the 1870s and designed for American libraries. In today’s modern, global society, it can feel a little outdated. This is why one library in Aotearoa/New Zealand is trying something a little different. The team at Te Awe Library in Wellington is t

So I have been having quite a bit of fun learning about eBPF. It’s been on my todo list for like two or three years, but I’ve finally made the time to actually start to figure it out, and have already found some neat stuff, and had to do some fun hacking. Let’s set the stage. eBPF is an instrumentation and tracing system built into Linux (and Windows these days!). The general thrust of it is that you provide the kernel with some bytecode, which it verifies, then executes in kernel context. Yo

People all around the world live with cats and cats engage in many social behaviors toward their owners. Olfaction is one of the most important sensory abilities in cats, yet its role in recognizing humans remains unclear. In this study, we assessed the role and characteristics of olfaction in the discrimination of known or unknown humans by cats using ethological methods. Whether cats exhibit a lateralization of nostril use in response to a variety of olfactory stimuli, exposure experience, int

Geometry is one of the oldest disciplines in human history, yet the worlds it can describe extend far beyond its original use. What began thousands of years ago as a way to measure land and build pyramids was given rigor by Euclid in ancient Greece, became applied to curves and surfaces in the 19th century, and eventually helped Einstein understand the universe. Yang-Hui He sees geometry as a unifying language for modern physics, a mutual exchange in which each discipline can influence and shap

There’s an old joke about a drunk man looking for his keys under a lamppost. Someone stops and offers to help. He asks, “So, did you lose your keys here?” The drunk replies “No, I lost them over there, but here’s where the light is.” I routinely talk to people who have strong technical skills and who want to go into consulting. They usually think that the main thing they need to do next is improve their technical skills. Maybe they know five programming languages but believe learning a sixth on

There’s just something about robots that makes us really want to kick them. Like this one, this one, or all of these ones. I know that the kicking technically has a purpose, but let’s be honest, it’s not the harrowing trial of human-like locomotion and stability that makes us want to kick, it’s the uh… kicking part.

Meta has a well-earned reputation as the fastest follower in tech. Did your startup launch a cool feature that people like? Before you can say “Series B,” Meta will have built something eerily similar, embedded it into its vastly more popular platforms, and eaten your lunch.

One of the things we love most about The Last of Us is that it’s never easy. Things happen, and people say stuff that can’t be easily defined or categorised. It’s a show that lives in the grey areas of life. No one is completely good, no one is completely evil, and neither side is right or wrong. It’s up to us, the audience, to figure out how we want to view it. This season, that complexity has taken a back seat at times, with so much of the story laser-focused on the burgeoning love between El

Microphones are common on most headphones and earbuds, but on gaming-specific headsets you're more likely to find boom mics sticking out from one of the ears. These tend to provide better audio quality, as well as a few other features you may want to consider when buying a new headset. The first is a visual indicator for whether your mic is muted.

When backpacking, we suggest sticking with inflatable pads or self-inflating pads (though these are generally heavier), which offer the best insulation and cushioning to size and weight. Whatever you specific needs, your goal is always to find the best warmth-to-weight ratio. More warmth means more weight. Keep the following tips in mind. Know your intended use.

This section sketches the skeleton of a sound and complete algorithm for effectively validating code, i.e., sequences of instructions. (Other aspects of validation are straightforward to implement.) In fact, the algorithm is expressed over the flat sequence of opcodes as occurring in the binary format, and performs only a single pass
