A Chinese paraglider survived being sucked in by a cloud and flung 28,208 feet (8,598 meters) into the sky—even though he was just testing his new equipment and wasn’t intending to take off. On May 24, Peng Yujian, a 55-year-old paraglider, was already roughly 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level, testing the fit of his new paragliding equipment. About 20 minutes in, a powerful updraft known as a “cloud suck” shot him about 18,000 feet (5,500 meters) higher. Peng caught the wild event on

In Brief Chinese startup DeepSeek has released an updated version of its R1 reasoning AI model on the developer platform Hugging Face after announcing it in a WeChat message Wednesday morning. The updated R1, which is under a permissive MIT license, meaning it can be used commercially, is a “minor” upgrade, according to DeepSeek’s WeChat announcement.

Many Ruby applications allocate objects. What if we could make allocating objects six times faster? We can! Read on to learn more! Speeding up allocations in Ruby Object allocation in Ruby 3.5 will be much faster than previous versions of Ruby. I want to start this article with benchmarks and graphs, but if you stick around I’ll also be explaining how we achieved this speedup. For allocation benchmarks, we’ll compare types of parameters (positional and keyword) with and without YJIT enabled.

Net metering works a lot like a bank. You deposit energy when your solar panels produce more than you need, and you withdraw it when you need more than you produce. But imagine if your bank changed the rules and said, “Thanks for your deposit, but we’re only giving you $0.45 back for every dollar you put in—because we spent a lot of money building the bank.” Would you be excited about that? Dominion Energy has officially filed its proposal to overhaul net metering in Virginia, and the changes t

When writing functions in TypeScript (and, truthfully, any language that does not support named parameters), you either pass arguments individually ( n params) or group them into a single object. While both are valid, I am yet to find a case were object parameters aren't the better choice. Say you call a function which creates a user: const signup = () => { // ... createUser("John", "Doe", 28, true); // ... }; At a glance, can you tell what each value means? You’re left guessing: what’s 28 ?
