The Original History Behind the Mandalorians’ Wars Against the Jedi

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-08-16 08:39:21

The world of Mandalore has a long and complicated history in Star Wars, and perhaps even more complicated than the story of its peoples’ wars among themselves are their wars united against a common foe: the Galactic Republic, and the Jedi Order that served it. But outside of allusions and artwork, the story of what defined these conflicts has gone largely untouched in contemporary Star Wars continuity, as the focus returned to Mandalore’s restoration in the post-Imperial era. In the former canon

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

news.ycombinator.com Dries Buytaert 2025-08-20 14:24:17

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial. Many feared money would corrupt the spirit of volunt

PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-22 00:29:33

PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer said that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13. Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations. The company said the move to current-gen will "provide our players with a more stable gameplay env

PHP compile time generics: yay or nay?

One of the most sought-after features for PHP is Generics: The ability to have a type that takes another type as a parameter. It's a feature found in most compiled languages by now, but implementing generics in an interpreted language like PHP, where all the type checking would have to be done at runtime, has always proven Really Really Hard(tm), Really Really Slow(tm), or both.
