Linus Torvalds released 6.19-rc1 and closed the 6.19 merge window on December 14 (Japan time), after having pulled 12,314 non-merge commits into the mainline. Over 8,000 of those commits came in after our first 6.19 merge-window summary was written. The second part of the...
Science fiction has always needed materials that don't exist. How else do you explain a lightsaber, power a warp drive, or make a superhero's shield indestructible? Over a century of storytelling has produced a shadow periodic table of invented elements, each with properties ...
It's been a terrible week for gun violence, both here and around the world. Early Sunday, two shooters opened fire at Australia's Bondi Beach, killing 15 people. Most people run from danger — understandably. Plenty of armchair commandos and tactical wannabes love to...
Despite travel warnings from your government, are you thinking about visiting the United States? Can you remember posting anything on Facebook, Xitter, or Bluesky about Trump's love for creating trauma in young people, the notion that white isn't the only skin color that...
I am a mobile productivity junkie. Living as a nomad for over a decade, I have tried and replaced a variety of mobile productivity solutions. I've got a laptop, sure. But I'm always on the lookout for a setup that allows me to leave my PC behind and take as little with me to ...
In 2014, mathematician Jordan Ellenberg invented a way to quantify something publishers and authors had long suspected: most people don't finish the books they buy. He called it the Hawking Index, named after Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time,' famously dubbed 'the...
The Korea Central Zoo in Pyongyang offers visitors a unique blend of wildlife and ideology. Among its 5,000 animals across 650 species, you can find Azalea, a cigarette-smoking chimpanzee, basketball-playing monkeys, doves incorporated into a figure skating routine, and a...
Publius Afranius Potitus learned the hard way that some promises should come with fine print. The Roman plebeian publicly vowed to sacrifice his own life if Emperor Caligula recovered from a serious illness that struck just six months into his reign. — Read the rest The...
At some point in British culinary history, someone looked at a pastry filled with currants and raisins and thought: those look exactly like dead flies. Rather than keeping this observation to themselves, they told everyone, and now 'flies' graveyard' is an accepted regional...
TL;DR: Get lifetime access to the Creatiyo All-in-One AI Creation Platform Pro Limited Plan for $79 (reg. $199) and turn ideas into finished work faster, neater, and with far fewer 'wait… what was I doing?' moments. If your idea of content creation sometimes resembles a cra...
Linus has released 6.19-rc1, perhaps a bit earlier than expected. So it's Sunday afternoon in the part of the world where I am now, so if somebody was looking at trying to limbo under the merge window timing with one last pull request and is taken by surprise by the...
Ariadne Conill is exploring a capability-based approach to privilege escalation on Linux systems. Inspired by the object-capability model, I've been working on a project named capsudo. Instead of treating privilege escalation as a temporary change of identity, capsudo...
In 1985, a 29-year-old Tokyo woman named Mariko Aoki wrote to a Japanese magazine called Book Magazine with an embarrassing confession: for years, walking around bookstores had inevitably made her need to rush to the bathroom. The editors published her letter thinking it was ...
Elagabalus became Roman emperor at 14, was assassinated at 18, and managed to pack more scandal into those four years than most rulers achieve in a lifetime. His grandmother, Julia Maesa, orchestrated his rise to power in 218 CE through an army revolt, and she'd orchestrate...
Bobby Leach was not a man who feared death. A former Barnum and Bailey Circus performer, he once watched a stuntman die while attempting a 150-foot dive into a 5-foot pool — then successfully did the dive himself. He owned a restaurant near Niagara Falls, where he'd brag...
They had me at 'Orville Peck as Vega,' honestly. Fighting games are a notoriously difficult beast to adapt — all characters, no plot — but that hasn't stopped people from trying. This newly announced Street Fighter movie marks the third attempt at bringing the...
This Christmas, let us celebrate with one of comedy's all-time classics: Al Jaffee's 'If Kids Designed Their Own Xmas Toys' from Mad Magazine issue #76, January 1963 (on sale November-December 1962). Jaffee's genius lay in presenting children's crude toy drawings, then...
Watch bikers speed down the Mountain of Hell in France, a race notorious for its treacherous terrain. This footage captures over 1,000 riders charging down the mountain in what may be the world's most chaotic mountain bike race. Despite its ominous name, the Mountain of...
We recently brought you news of the 'peanut butter man' running wild on Purdue University's campus. He was actually slathered in sunflower seed butter, but the original moniker stuck. Now it's time for Purdue's peanut butter man to step aside — there's a new peanut butter...
The funk/pop/soul/klezmer band Vulfpeck played its second sold-out Madison Square Garden show on September 13 and on Thursday posted video of the entire performance on YouTube. I was at the show—I've been attending Vulfpeck's NYC performances for nine years—and it...
