Adding memory safety to C++ can be a challenging task, but there are more than 11 methods available, according to Evan Ovadia, who has spent the last decade researching the subject. The most common methods are reference counting, borrow checking and tracing garbage collection, but there are alternatives including constraint references, generational references and random […]
A consortium of three firms will begin testing 1-megawatt plant IRON+ near Eindhoven, Netherlands, which burns iron fuel to produce heat energy to brew beer. IRON+ is based on a system originally tested in 2020, which demonstrated the potential of metals in burning without producing planet-warming emissions and without emitting toxic fumes. Iron fuel not only […]
The author has decided to no longer officially support Red Hat Enterprise Linux for their open source projects.

However, if a user mentions using the author’s work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, their bug/feature/support request will […]
Arwes is a futuristic Sci-Fi UI web framework for building user interfaces based on science fiction designs, animations, and sound effects. The framework is influenced by Cyberprep and Synthwave, as well as productions like Star Citizen, Halo, and TRON: Legacy. Arwes is still in alpha release, meaning that components are being tested and the API […]
LinearMouse offers per-device settings, allowing for customized configurations for mice and trackpads. For users who prefer a non-natural scrolling direction, LinearMouse provides an option to reverse it without affecting the trackpad’s settings. Additionally, it allows for improved pointer accuracy and speed by adjusting acceleration and speed settings, including the option to disable pointer acceleration for […]
Can you guess how big a variable NUMBER needs to be before a computer program takes one second to run? Julia Evans and Kamal Marhubi have put together a test to see just how well you know computers. The programs all contain a variable NUMBER between one and one billion, and users must guess the […]

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have successfully transplanted a life-sustaining mammalian organ into five rats after re-warming it from an icy metabolic arrest, or vitrification. This is the first time such a transplant has been achieved, with outside experts describing the results as “a seminal milestone for the field of organ preservation”. The technology […]
