It offers the portability of a phone in a far less distracting package, and until the end of the week, Verge readers can grab the e-reader with a free flip cover case, valued at $16, for $279.99 ($20 off) from Wellbots with code VERGEPALMA20.

According to Bloomberg, the next versions of Apple’s operating systems may be labeled by year, starting now. It makes sense. At this point, we’ve got VisionOS 2, watchOS 11, macOS 15, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. Instead, they might all be tagged 26 — even if they launch this year. It’s not the first tech company to align new products with the year of release. Samsung started naming its phones by year of release in 2020 with the S20, which followed the S10.

Art for The Intrinsic Perspective is by Alexander Naughton Over a year has passed since I began teaching my toddler—then two years old—how to read (a process chronicled here). Now, I’m prepared to answer a burning scientific question that has kept absolutely zero researchers up at night: Can a three-year-old read The Hobbit? Turns out: yeah, pretty much. Here’s Roman reading from Chapter 1: In a hole, in the ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of

Developers spend most of their time figuring the system out I am often asked what I mean when I say that developers spend most of their time figuring the system out. Let’s unpack the statement. The oldest reference on the topic I know of dates back to 1979 in a book by Zelkowitz, Shaw, and Gannon entitled Principles of software engineering and design. It said that most of the development time was spent on maintenance (67%). Software development costs (1979) Granted, the book does not specify

Strength Reading glasses typically range from +0.25 to +2.50 diopters (the unit of measurement for eye prescriptions), though the average starting strength is usually around +0.75. In rare cases, reading glass strength can go up to +4.00. “Tips for buying reading glasses online are similar to buying ready-made reading glasses at the drugstore: it’s a convenient option, but it’s not a good idea for everyone,” says Ravi Goel, MD, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “

Multi-threading is always the wrong design “We’ll just do that on a background thread” uNetworking AB · Follow 4 min read · Nov 29, 2023 -- 34 Listen Share Say what you want about Node.js. It sucks, a lot. But it was made with one very accurate observation: multithreading sucks even more. A CPU with 4 cores doesn’t work like you are taught from entry level computer science.
