On a random Saturday in August, I became the omnipotent caretaker of a newly formed planet, one born, according to the lore, from humankind's collective love of Tamagotchis past and present. An egg hatched and a planet sprang forth. Then another egg hatched down on the surface of that planet and a critter sprang forth. In the few weeks since, I've raised half a dozen more creatures across three different virtual habitats, slowly but surely turning my planet into a bustling hub of adorable alien

The result: dramatically reduced lock waits, and big gains at high client counts (2X throughput boost starting from 64 clients in our benchmark). In OrioleDB beta12, inserts into a B-tree leaf are performed under an ex

Here's the absolutely massive Tamagotchi Paradise next to other objects in the wild, for scale

No product launch excites me more than the release of a new Tamagotchi. So when it comes time to review one, I like to first give myself a little while to just live with the device — to feel that initial delight and let it die down before I try to look at it critically. That way, I can more fairly assess whether we've actually got a toy that's worth the price tag and will hold a person's attention once the novelty wears off. But Tamagotchi Paradise arrived a few days ago, and while a proper rev

Four radioactive wasp nests found on South Carolina nuclear facility

Wasps living around a Cold War-era nuclear facility in South Carolina have built at least four radioactive nests, raising questions about their source of hazardous material and the extent of environmental contamination, according to a report by The New York Times. Last week, news broke that officials at the site—Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina—had found one radioactive nest on July 3. The discovery was documented in a July 22 report by the US Department of Energy, which own

Radioactive Wasp Nest Found in Decommissioned Nuclear Weapons Plant

As if wasps couldn’t get any scarier, a chilling discovery near Aiken, South Carolina, suggests they’re comfortable making their nest in a former nuclear bomb facility. On July 3, employees conducting a regular checkup of radiation levels at the Savannah River Site (SRS)—a former nuclear weapons production facility dating back to the 1950s—found themselves staring down at something that probably should not have been there. That something was a wasp nest measuring more than 10 times the federall

Index Ventures’ Jahanvi Sardana shares the truth about TAM and what founders should focus on instead

Early-stage founders just can’t get away from TAM — the concept of having a total addressable market for their startup to disrupt and conquer. But Index Ventures partner Jahanvi Sardana has a reminder for all those founders worried about finding TAM for their product or service: Many startups have emerged from markets that, at the time, were essentially nonexistent. “What was the market for search before Google?” Sardana asked the audience at TechCrunch’s 2025 All Stage event in Boston, held ea

These Are the 6 Best Vitamins and Minerals for Older Adults, According to Experts

Getting a good selection of vitamins and minerals in your diet is vital to staying fit and healthy, and that shouldn't be a shock to anyone at this point. If you have a balanced diet, you're likely already getting the nutrients that you need. But that can change, especially as we age and our bodies demand more. Older people are at an increased risk of low vitamin consumption -- partly because our bodies can no longer absorb certain nutrients as effectively as they once did. So, if you're dealing
