Requiem for a Hash Function, or: How I learned to love package maphash September 22, 2025 Zürich, Schweiz I am coming off from surgery right now and have some time on my hands, so I wanted to share a story about a learning experience.

The exemption request was first reported by Bloomberg. A Zoox spokesperson confirmed that it has submitted a petition for a “555 exemption” and continues to work closely with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through this new exemption process

Forget the Pixel 10 camera’s silly pinch-to-zoom, this is the one trick I use instead

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As much as I’ve loved using the zoom lenses on my Pixel phones since the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ll admit that it’s a pain to find the exact zoom level I need with Google’s silly camera UI. Pinching to zoom is not as precise as I like it to be, and I like round numbers, so you’ll never see me zoom to something like 6.4x or 12.9x. I’d rather move my hand or step forward/back to get a round number. The other reason is that Google allows for lossless zoom at specific leve

Adding something like 100x zoom to a smartphone camera is no small task. Before now, only Samsung and OnePlus had really dared to push that far in the US, and they’d achieved mixed results over and over again. But, with the launch of the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google has also thrown its hat into the long-range zoom ring. As always, we took that as our challenge to see if it’s any good.

The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades.
