This clever trick can help you find a lost or stolen Samsung phone. Here’s how it works

Joe Maring / Android Authority Losing your Android phone or having it stolen is never fun. While Google’s Find Hub can make the ordeal a lot less stressful, it isn’t a 100% foolproof solution to recovering a lost device. As with all things in life, having a backup plan is a good idea. In addition to Find Hub, lost Samsung phones also have the option of being found via Samsung’s SmartThings Find service. While those two apps may be enough for some people, there’s a third layer of protection you

Waitgroups: What they are, how to use them and what changed with Go 1.25

Imagine the following problem: you need to process hundreds of records and generate a single output. One way to solve this is to process each record sequentially and unify the output only at the end. However, this can be extremely slow, depending on the time spent processing each record. Another way is to process them concurrently, speeding up the overall time. In my post about introduction to concurrency, I talked a bit about goroutines and channels . Now, I’ve decided to talk about waitgroups

Google Home can’t catch a break, as Routines widget vanishes

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 15:10:38

TL;DR One of the widgets offered by the Google app has been a shortcut for accessing your Home Routines. In the latest Google app beta, the Routines widget is no longer available. This loss arrives right in the middle of a growing period of Google Home frustration. If you’re interested in putting together a particularly impressive smart home setup, Google Home’s Routines are probably your best friend. While getting them configured can take a minute, especially if they involve dozens of device

Tinyio: A tiny (~200 line) event loop for Python

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 17:02:21

tinyio A tiny (~200 lines) event loop for Python Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio . (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong.

A Mental Model for C++ Coroutine

news.ycombinator.com Lu'S Blog 2026-01-18 12:23:57

C++ coroutine is not a library that is ready to go (e.g. std::vector ). It is not even a trait (think of Rust’s Future trait) that library writers or users can implement (or the compiler generates for you in the case of Rust). C++ coroutine is a specification that defines a set of customization points that library writers implement in order to get a functional coroutine. A function supports two operations - call and return . A coroutine (in any language) is a generalization of a function. It su

Hacking Coroutines into C

Hacking Coroutines into C 12.7.2025 A while ago, I was part of a team developing embedded software. The software was deeply rooted in state machines - dozens of them—spread across multiple functions. While this architecture is common in embedded development, especially for systems without an operating system, I started to question: Is this really the clearest way to express control flow? The state machines in our code worked fine, but understanding and maintaining them was often a headache. T

Routine creation just got super-easy in Samsung SmartThings

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-28 05:35:29

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has formally announced several features coming to the SmartThings app. The most notable feature is a Routine Creation Assistant that lets you create routines with natural language. Other significant announcements include sharing your Galaxy Tag location with a URL and a Delay Actions feature for routines. Samsung’s SmartThings platform allows you to easily control your smart home devices, and it’s a solid alternative to Google and Apple’s platf

Phrase origin: Why do we "call" functions?

news.ycombinator.com Arthur O Dwyer 2026-01-28 05:04:45

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summoning” — but indi

Exploring Coroutines in PHP

news.ycombinator.com Doeke Norg 2026-01-28 04:34:13

The term "coroutine" often comes up when talking about asynchronous or non-blocking code, but what does it actually mean? In this post, we will explore coroutines as a concept and see how PHP supports them through Generators and Fibers. Whether you're building pipelines, CLI tools, or preparing to dive into concurrency, understanding coroutines is an essential first step. What are Coroutines? A coroutine is a function. However, where a regular function continuously runs from top to bottom unti

Ahead of Galaxy Unpacked this week, Samsung is announcing several new features coming to its smart home platform, SmartThings, including the ability to create routines using natural language. That means you’ll be able to simply tell SmartThings what you want your smart home to do, and it’ll take care of all the complicated details for you. Samsung also announced updates to its Apple Watch app, a new dark mode for the SmartThings app on iOS, and more features coming to SmartThings Find, its locat
