The Legacy of ‘Scavengers Reign’ Lives on Through Video Games

It’s been little over a year since Scavengers Reign was canceled. Co-created by animator-producers Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, Scavengers Reign garnered a modest yet passionate fanbase and went on to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite this, however, HBO Max—and by extension Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company—chose not to renew the show for a second season, effectively canceling the series. Set in the distant future, the animated sci-fi drama

Elden Ring Nightreign is adding two-player co-op next week

Elden Ring Nightreign is finally adding a two-player co-op mode on July 30. Prior to this, FromSoftware's spinoff could only be played solo or with three players.

FromSoftware has released a trailer to accompany this news, so you can see the two-player co-op in action. Beyond Duo Expeditions, the forth

Elden Ring: Nightreign's Duo Mode Is Coming to Save You From Matchmaking Hell

U.S. will review social media for foreign student visa applications toggle caption Alexander F. Yuan/AP WASHINGTON — In yet another twist for foreign students hoping to study in the U.S., the State Department says it will resume processing student and visiting scholar visa applications for foreign citizens but plans to review their social media accounts as part of the process. All students applying for a visa will need to set their social media profiles to "public," according to a post Wednes

Automatically Packaging a Haskell Library as a Swift Binary XCFramework

Announcing xcframework or: the happy path for wiring a Haskell dependency to your Swift app I’ve written about Haskell x Swift interoperability before. Calling Haskell from Swift is about marshalling and the foreign function interface. But Creating a macOS app with Haskell and Swift tells the much messier tale of hijacking XCode to vodoo together the Haskell library, its headers, and two handfuls of other magic ingredients into one buildable SwiftUI application.

Memory safety is table stakes

The past few years has seen a massive success story for systems programming. Entire categories of bugs that used to plague systems programmers—like use-after-free, data races, and segmentation faults—have begun to completely disappear. The secret to this new reality is a set of systems programming languages chief among them Rust—whose powerful type systems are able to constructively eliminate these kind of bugs; if it compiles, then it’s correct … or at least, will not contain use-after-free or

But if you’ve gotten good and need a harder challenge, you’ll be able to take on “Everdark Sovereigns,” which are more difficult versions of the game’s Nightlord foes you face to conclude a run. “These limited-time versions of the Nightlords are extremely challenging and pose an even greater threat to the Nightfare

Australian Critical Infrastructure Faces 'Acute' Foreign Threats

Australian intelligence is projecting that foreign nations will increasingly attempt to sabotage its country's critical infrastructure. On Feb. 19, Mike Burgess, director-general of security in charge of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), delivered an annual threat assessment encompassing the many national security threats facing Australia. Among the most important, he noted, are the ways in which foreign threat actors are weaponizing artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled
