gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-20 06:10:48

Jackson Pollock was a famous American painter best known for his abstract expressionism, including the “drip and splash” and the “all-over” style of painting (which look exactly like they sound). Now we finally know the chemical origin of the blue color he splattered onto his iconic Number 1A, 1948.

Page Object (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Martin Fowler 2025-09-22 06:26:19

When you write tests against a web page, you need to refer to elements within that web page in order to click links and determine what's displayed.

A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML. The basic rule of thumb for a page object is that it should allow a softw

The FDA approves human trials for pig kidney transplants

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-04 06:54:16

Despite how it sounds, a xenotransplant isn't something from the latest Alien movie. It's an increasingly credible science: the transplantation of animal organs into humans. The field took one of its biggest leaps forward on Monday. The FDA approved the biotech company eGenesis to begin human trials of pig-to-human kidney transplants. eGenesis provides pigs with CRISPR-modified genes. These genetic changes reduce the chances of organ rejection in human recipients. The FDA approved the company f
