Volvo’s EX90 SUV was supposed to usher in a new era of electrified dominance for the Chinese-owned, Swedish designed automaker.

Mozilla now lets Firefox add-on devs roll back bad updates

Mozilla has announced a new feature that enables Firefox extension developers to roll back to previously approved versions, allowing them to quickly address critical bugs and issues. Once the latest extension version is reverted, users will no longer be able to install it. If automatic updates are enabled, the web browser will also automatically revert the extension to the previous version within 24 hours for users who have installed the buggy version.

Rumor: iPhone 17 Pro to feature better thermals for improved battery life, display brightness, more

We’re less than a week away from the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup, and a new rumor today sheds light on several more improvements Apple has up its sleeve. In a post on Weibo, the oft-reliable leaker Instant Digital says the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature notable updates to the display, battery life, and more. Here’s a breakdown of what the account says is coming for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max: They can maintain a higher brightness level for a longer time when u

The two versions of Parquet

A few days ago, the creators of DuckDB wrote the article: Query Engines: Gatekeepers of the Parquet File Format, which explained how the engines that process Parquet files as SQL tables are blocking the evolution of the format. This is because those engines are not fully supporting the latest specification, and without this support, the rest of the ecosystem has no incentive to adopt it. In my experience, this issue is not limited to Query Engines but extends to the tools within the ecosystem.

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

A promising Sega Saturn emulator brings major improvements in a beefy update

TL;DR The Ymir emulator for PCs has received a major update that improves performance and compatibility. The Sega Saturn emulator also now offers screenshot functionality and support for two notable Saturn controllers. The Sega Saturn is one of the more complicated retro video game consoles to emulate, but we’ve seen several solid emulators over the years. Most recently, a developer released the nifty Ymir emulator for computers, and it’s just received a major update. Ymir is a Sega Saturn em

A simple pixel physics simulator in Rust using Macroquad

Sbixel Sbixel is a very simple pixel physics simulator I made to learn Rust. It uses macroquad for drawing — and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple and awesome it is! Quick demo (click for youtube link): ⚠️ This project is very basilar and doesn't have much ambition to go anywhere — it's mainly a learning sandbox. How It Works The simulation uses a "sector" system to reduce unnecessary processing by only simulating active areas of pixels. All settings related to simulation and perfo

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp. Pre-built images Demo releases are available through GitHub. These releases are designed to be run in VirtualBox, though QEMU is also supported. 2GB of RAM, a virtio-net NIC and an Intel HDA audio controller are recommended. x86-64 images are published. AArch64 has been made to work on some hardware. But to set expectations: making Mezzano run on any given piece of hardware or emulator is still typically a project that requires the user to

Tracking source locations in the Futhark compiler

Posted on July 29, 2025 Futhark is a programming language meant for writing fast programs, but as is the case for every programming language meant for writing fast programs, it inevitably happens that a programmer will use it to write a program that is not fast. When this happens, the programmer will likely want to know why their program is not fast, and how to make it faster. A useful tool for answering such questions is a profiler - a tool that tells you how long the different parts of your p

World Curling tightens sweeping rules, bans firmer broom foams ahead of Olympics

World Curling has tightened its sweeping equipment rules heading into the Olympic season. The move, announced Friday, follows concern over firmer broom foams that many players said gave sweepers too much control. Several high-profile models — including some from Goldline, BalancePlus and Hardline — are now banned. Only brushes with less-firm foam are approved for competition, effective immediately. World Curling said the decision followed extensive consultation with players, manufacturers and

Mathematical Illustrations: A Manual of Geometry and PostScript

This manual has been available on this site since about 1996, with improvements taking place frequently. The current version has been published as a book of about 350 pages by Cambridge University Press. By agreement with the Press, however, it will remain posted on this web site. Many improvements in the current version over previous ones are due to the (anonymous) referees of the Press, whom I wish to thank heartily. I also wish to thank Lauren Cowles, of the New York office of the Press, for
