I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve opened Google Maps, typed in my destination, and blindly followed the blue arrow as if it knows my life inside out. Whether I’m rushing to pick my daughter up from her drawing class or trying to find a new restaurant, I usually let Maps take over. But recently, I realized I’ve been using Google Maps the same way I did when I fi
For years, Netflix remained steadfast in its belief in putting its biggest original movies on the service and only allowing small theatrical windows for its awards-season contenders. That mindset is slowly starting to change, as Netflix will allow larger theatrical rollouts for its originals. The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth will receive a two-week IMAX rel

A Go Into The Story eBook... and it's free!Recently, I floated the possibility in social media that I might aggregate the 2,500+ spec script deals I had tracked since 1991 into a readable resource.The response was overwhelming!So, I set a kick off date (September 8) and have been hard at work editing it as an eBook. Here are some details:There are 2,560 individual listings of spec script deals.The eBook covers a period of 35 years (1991-2025).It is 517 pages long.Each listing includes (wher
When Nvidia first announced DLSS 5 neural rendering, many were quick to label it "AI slop." And I get it. We're definitely getting some uncanny valley vibes.
Just got home and can't stop replaying that one crappy email or Slack you got and how it managed to ruin a nine-hour workday? It happens. All you want to do is sink into the couch and leave the day behind, but the last thing you need is six seasons of something that needs a wiki to get through. Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean
I have a soft spot for old software Easter eggs, especially the ones that make you wonder what developers were doing when nobody was looking. Excel 97 has one of my favorites: a secret 3D flight simulator hidden inside a spreadsheet. And, yes, I went looking for a way to play it.
We live in a world where almost everything is connected. Your phone is constantly communicating with nearby networks and devices, while your car keys, bank cards, and even some access cards can transmit information wirelessly without you giving it much thought. That convenience is hard to beat, but it also means there are more wireless signals around us than ever be

Innovation & Lineage in the Resilient JavaScript DialectArtikulates Resilient GitHub repositoryArtikulates Resilient npm packageAgree wherever possible.Disagree gracefully.Allow the unknown to remain unknown.That is the discipline at the center of Resilient JavaScript.It is also a way to think about reliable software more generally: keep what works, make disagreement visible, and do not manufacture certainty.Resilient enters an old argument about correctness, contracts, invariants, spe
The Promise object represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value.To learn about the way promises work and how you can use them, we advise you to read Using promises first. A Promise is in one of these states:pending: initial state, neither fulfilled nor rejected.fulfilled: meaning that the operation was completed successfully.rejected: meaning that the operation failed.A promise is said to be settled if it is either fulfilled or rejecte
We keep hearing that the latest LLMs are approaching AGI. The people who run the frontier labs are warning or hinting that soon all code will be written by models. Some argue that software engineering is about much more than just coding, but you don't need nearly as many people for those other parts either.So what happens to people who spent decades in school and on the job, who are passionate about coding and get their energy from writing code?I don't believe in universal basic (or hi

Let’s face it — iPhone announcements have become a bit boring. We don’t need leaks and rumors to know what to expect anymore. In 2010, however, things were wildly different. It started with a police raid and ended with historic memes. This is the story of the iPhone 4.
Raspberry Pis have been popular devices for DIY projects for years. They're ideal for many tech projects, but they're not always the perfect choice. There are many projects where a cheap ESP32 board is a better option, and the benefits go beyond the much lower price.
The tech layoff wave is far from over. Apple, Uber, Oracle and PayPal are among the latest big names cutting jobs as they ...<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1655927771689-1c21773abf9b?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8Mjl8fFRlY2glMjBKb2JzfGVufDB8fDJ8fDE2NTY4NTEyNDQ&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&q=80&w=1080' />
