Fish in the ocean can tell humans apart by what we're wearing underwater, a new study suggests. While domestic animals like dogs can obviously distinguish between people, it's been less clear that wild animals have developed this capability. It's even more surprising that...
Version 1.85.0 of the Rust language has been released. Changes in the release include support for async closures, some convenience iterators for tuples, and a number of stabilized APIs. The headline feature, though, is that this release stabilizes the Rust 2024 edition,...
Democratic Senators who voted for some of Trump's nominees already regret their decisions, with some vowing never again. One comment I find most laughable in this DailyKos article is Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland's expectation that Marco Rubio was consistent or had a...
Amazon has announced that is finally pulling the plug on its Android Appstore, and that’s not all -- Amazon Coins are going down with it too. From August 20, 2025, Amazon says the Appstore on Android devices will be no more. That means no new downloads, no updates, and...

Expecting children to navigate a complex immigration system on their own, the Trump Administration has ended the legal support previously provided to unaccompanied migrant kids. Cruelty is the point. I imagine the Orange Menace's nasal, grating voice: 'Kick them all out! —...
