When writing functions in TypeScript (and, truthfully, any language that does not support named parameters), you either pass arguments individually ( n params) or group them into a single object. While both are valid, I am yet to find a case were object parameters aren't the better choice. Say you call a function which creates a user: const signup = () => { // ... createUser("John", "Doe", 28, true); // ... }; At a glance, can you tell what each value means? You’re left guessing: what’s 28 ?

Caller ID app Truecaller said on Thursday that it crossed the 450 million user mark earlier this week. The company said that it added 50 million users in the past 10 months and 15.5 million users since the beginning of 2025. India is the company’s biggest user base, so it wasn’t surprising to see Truecaller promoting its Chief Product Officer and MD of India operations, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, to CEO after the company’s co-founders decided to step back from day-to-day operations last year.

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 S2: While they've been replaced by the new and improved PI8s, the PI7 S2s, which feature a dual-driver design, remain among the very best-sounding true-wireless earbuds. The step-down PI5 S2s, which have a single-driver design, don't sound quite as good but are more affordable. Learn more about the high-quality headphones in my full Bowers & Wilkins PI7 S2 earbuds review. Sony LinkBuds S: Unlike the "open" LinkBuds, the LinkBuds S are traditional noise-isolating earbuds wit

What `git config` settings should be defaults by now? Here are some settings that even the core developers change.
