Barry Warsaw, writing for the Python steering council, has announced that PEP 810 ('Explicit lazy imports') has been approved, unanimously, by the four who could vote. Since Pablo Galindo Salgado was one of the PEP authors, he did not vote. The PEP provides a way to defer...
A developer operating under the handle @XenoPanther has stripped Windows 7 down to 69MB. The OS boots but runs almost nothing because critical files like common dialog boxes and common controls are missing. @XenoPanther described the project on X as 'more of a fun proof of...
The most widespread reaction I've seen to Amazon laying off 30,000 people from its gaming division has been 'Amazon had a gaming division?' That isn't surprising in itself; none of Amazon Games' releases (mostly generic fantasy MMOs) ever came close to breaching the...
I would say 2006's Bully was like Grand Theft Auto for kids if we weren't all playing GTA as kids anyway. Even so, this private school sandbox from the days when Rockstar actually put out more than one game a decade has held onto an enduring fan base over the years —...
I am usually up for any unholy combination of flavors that Oreos come in. Coke, Sour Patch Kids, Kyber crystal, I bought them all. But Mondelez International/Nabisco has gone too far this time with Thanksgiving Dinner Oreos. The Thanksgiving Dinner Cookie Tin contains...
I'm blown away by cellist-turned-photographer Charles Brooks' images of the interiors of rare musical instruments. Each instrument appears as if it's straight out of a dream — some look like futuristic structures, some like fantasy castles, and others like secret lairs of...
Accenture to poke around the beleaguered airline's IT infrastructure Alaska Airlines has called in consultants to advise it on what went wrong during a late October IT meltdown that grounded flights and wreaked havoc for two days.…
The spending will continue until ROI improves Tech companies continue to sling crazy amounts of money at AI, with Microsoft announcing deals worth billions in Texas and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), while Google parent Alphabet is selling bonds in Europe to raise cash for...
State Highway 165 (SH 165) is a roadway in Texas that stretches through the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. The highway stretches only a half mile and is the shortest primary state highway in Texas. SH 165 is also unusual because it's partially locked at night and no longer...
Your friend came to you because they respect your knowledge and opinion, and outsourcing the answer to a machine is lazy and rude. Just answer them yourself.
Hurricane season and winter weather bring the same concern to many households: blackouts. For some, power returns within hours. For others in areas with aging infrastructure or unreliable grids, outages can last days. In these situations, a backup power solution is...
Python already has several ways to run programs concurrently — including asynchronous functions, threads, subinterpreters, and multiprocessing — but all of those options have drawbacks of one kind or another. PEP 703 ('Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPyth...
Old-school cargo heists reborn in the cyber age Cybercriminals are increasingly orchestrating lucrative cargo thefts alongside organized crime groups (OCGs) in a modern-day resurgence of attacks on freight companies.…
Donald Trump just slipped to new lows in popularity, with an approval rating of only 37%, according to a poll released today by CNN/SSRS. 'Approval of the president has dipped across partisan and demographic lines since the summer in CNN's polling,' the outlet reports. —...
An anonymous reader shares a report: arXiv, a preprint publication for academic research that has become particularly important for AI research, has announced it will no longer accept computer science articles and papers that haven't been vetted by an academic journal or a...
Researchers point to risks in high-stakes applications as well as the potential to spread misinformation Large language models often fail to distinguish between factual knowledge and personal belief, and are especially poor at recognizing when a belief is false.…
Some places in the world fell back chronologically yesterday. Whether you enjoyed an extra hour of sleep, some quiet time sipping coffee in bed, or whatever your Sunday looked like, here's to embracing that extra hour. And as a little food for thought: time is a construct,...
Watch clay slicing pro Ellard Devane's trippy horror animation, 'Nosferatu Zombie Chainsaw Massacre.' My favorite thing about it is that all the special effects are done by hand, not with AI. To make these videos, Devane uses the classic stratacut technique, where a block of ...
Palantir launched a fellowship that recruited high school graduates directly into full-time work, bypassing college entirely. The company received more than 500 applications and selected 22 for the inaugural class. The four-month program began with seminars on Western...
Memory safety trumps retro computing: Alpha, PA-RISC, m68k, SH4 face the chop in 2026 Debian's APT package manager will have a 'hard requirement' on Rust from May 2026. This move may make some rather big waves.…
