After the Hunt: Luca Guadagnino's he/said, she/said, they/said provocation knocks high-minded institutions off lofty pedestals but it spends nonstop time reveling in showing humanity at its worst. It's a movie that aims to make you angry, and it does it so well you all but wonder, in the end, if it has anything new to say. First-time screenwriter Nora Garrett assembles a viper's nest of academics and one star student, but no one is likable.

We have made the decision to push some of our content and feature updates a little bit into the future while we're addressing these things to make sure that we can get to a much more stable state that we can believe in,

Wayland is the Linux graphical protocol for now and the future. At this point, there is no going back (nor is there a reason to, because Wayland is a vast improvement over X11). The migration from X11 to Wayland has been long and (at times) challenging. Fortunately, it looks as though the dust has settled and Wayland has the full support of most desktops and distributions.

Air is built on FastAPI, so we could use [pyinstrument's instructions](https://pyinstrument.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide.html#profile-a-web-request-in-fastapi) modified. However, because profilers reveal a LOT of internal data, in our example we actively use an environment variable. You will need both `air` and `pyinstrument` to get this working: ```sh # preferred uv add "air[standard]" pyinstrument # old school pip install "air[standard]" pyinstrument ```

As a result, it finds itself directly in the crosshairs of the more established, and recently revised 2026 BMW iX xDrive60 - the very same vehicle I drove on an extended EV road trip just last month. Like the SQ6, the xDrive60 punches above the 500 horsepower mark and offers a spacious two-row cabin to go with its promise of gas free motoring.

Please update your systems to take care of a security related bug we found last month. Luis Falcon has found that trytond may log sensitive data like passwords when the logging level is set to INFO. ImpactCVSS v3.0 Base Score: 4.2 Attack Vector: Network Attack Complexity: Low Privileges Required: High User Interaction: None Scope: Unchanged Confidentiality: High Integrity: None Availability: None Workaround Increasing the logging level above INFO prevents logging of the sensitive data.

RAM acts as a fast, temporary storage area for data that the computer is actively using. Essentially, your OS stores data in RAM because it's much faster than your local storage. RAM is crucial for speed and responsiveness, multitasking, better performance for demanding tasks, a smooth user experience, and future-proofing your computer. Without RAM, your computer would behave poorly (or not at all).

Variously described by Fordjour as a "giant music box in the dark," an "acoustic wilderness," and "a conjuring," Nightsong immerses viewers in an atmospheric sensorium whose aesthetic and thematic depictions trace Black musical history as it manifests, evolves, and travels through time and genre. While Fordjour has long drawn on music and theatricality in his two and three-dimensional artworks, Nightsong brings these subjects to exuberant life, as numerous vocalists perform an original, four-hour songcycle, composed exclusively for the exhibition, across a spatial, multi-room nightscape.

The hype around the introduction of React Server Components (RSC) was undeniable. For the uninitiated, RSCs are a new way to build React apps that render components on the server, keeping code and data-fetching logic away from the client. The promise was appealing: a unified approach to server and client rendering, unmatched performance, and simpler data fetching, enough to convince many of us that this was the next best thing after cheese.

Whereas the iPhone Air is all about showing off its ridiculously thin and light design, the iPhone 17 Pros go in the opposite direction with thicker and heavier designs. Apple is basically saying, F*ck all that skinny noise, let's throw everything but the kitchen sink at them. Even better cameras on the front and back? Check. The longest battery life of any iPhone? Check. The most powerful mobile chip? Check.

At first glance, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max seem like a drastic upgrade over their predecessors. They have a fantastic new look-one that adds more character with a two-tone design highlighting the blend of the aluminum chassis and glass. The " Camera Plateau," as Apple calls it, elongates the camera module and gives it a more balanced appearance and feel. (Although I have to say, Google did it first.)

The web is evolving at an incredible pace. I've been writing about web development for over a decade (and building websites even longer), but for the first time, it feels challenging to keep up. While we may never see "HTML6" or"CSS4," new standards continue to emerge and browsers are adopting them faster than ever. Features like <dialog>, <details>, and the Popover API are now widely available.

Back in the mid-2000s, web browsers were struggling to keep up with the modern web. Google's founders saw the browser as critical ("our entire business is people using a browser to access us and the Web" as CEO Eric Schmidt recalled[2]), yet the incumbents weren't architected for rich web apps. In 2006, a small team of ex-Firefox engineers at Google - led by Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher - started sketching ideas for a new browser built for the "cloud era."

Polestar has officially unveiled its new flagship model, the Polestar 5, an all-electric grand tourer that blends high performance with striking design and advanced technology. The four-door EV delivers up to 884 horsepower, establishing it as a serious contender in the luxury electric performance segment. Positioned as the evolution of the brand's earlier concept, the Polestar 5 arrives with futuristic styling, cutting-edge materials, and a robust powertrain that underscores the brand's growing influence in the electric mobility space.

Aryna Sabalenka thought she had everything figured out. She believed she had done all the work necessary, harnessing successfully her once uncontrollable power into consistent excellence. After overcoming so many hurdles en route to becoming the best player in the world, she felt ready for anything. Sabalenka was convinced she could handle any challenge that came her way. It was not until her excruciating French Open final defeat against Coco Gauff that Sabalenka understood this was not true.

The pressure was electric. Hope and fear did a wild dance in my chest and no matter how hard I tried, my imagination kept racing ahead. This was the moment that could change the trajectory of my life and career - and I blew it. But the lessons I took from that failed audition turned out to be more valuable than any role.

Let's first answer the question of why RAM is so important. RAM acts as a fast, temporary storage area for data that the computer is actively using. Essentially, your OS stores data in RAM because it's much faster than your local storage. RAM is crucial for speed and responsiveness, multitasking, better performance for demanding tasks, a smooth user experience, and future-proofing your computer. Without RAM, your computer would behave poorly (or not at all).

Nobuo Uematsu's classic score. I'm pleased to report the magic is still there on Switch 2. Digital Foundry said it Final Fantasy VII has one of the best openings of a video game ever. The remake cranks that up even further thanks to the the mash-up of modern graphics and might be the best looking port on the handheld hybrid yet. Nothing in my time with it led me to think otherwise. And man, does that first mission still hit.

Marcus Brown's voice is a crooner's voice, a baritone, emanating notes from some spot in his body deeper than his chest. Biologically speaking, this is impossible. But taking in his vocal, its dark timbre and real dimensionality, one feels perplexed and forced to come up with an explanation. Occasionally, Brown, who makes mesmerizing, lovelorn music under the name Nourished by Time, is a serenader reaching for the style of Jodeci or SWV-sinewy, solicitous, but alien underneath the ad-libbing.

In what Obsidian refers to as a "quick fix" pending more major changes, Grounded 2 is getting a handful of game-repair options to remove a few annoyances. You'll now be able to use the Creature Reset option to move all creatures back to their original locations, and the Buggy Reset to send all Buggies back to the nest, no matter where they were--or what state they were in.

The Realme P series is a relatively new but increasingly important lineup in Realme's smartphone portfolio, first making its debut in India with the launch of the Realme P1 and P1 Pro in 2024. Designed as a mid-range offering, the P series stands out for its commitment to delivering a compelling blend of power, design innovation, and value. Originally exclusive to the Indian market, the success of the P series has prompted Realme to expand its availability globally.

If you've worked with Tailwind CSS, chances are you've used daisyUI. As one of the most popular Tailwind component libraries, it's valued for its sensible defaults, wide component set, and flexibility that feels native to Tailwind. Now, with the release of Tailwind CSS 4, the ecosystem is evolving - and daisyUI is keeping pace. Version 5 is more than an update: it's a complete rewrite built to be smaller, faster, and more customizable.

Zod v4 introduces a series of changes across three key areas: performance, API design, and tooling support. Benchmarks published by the maintainers show 14x faster string parsing, 7x faster array parsing, and 6.5x faster object parsing compared to Zod 3. These improvements are paired with reductions in TypeScript type instantiation, helping projects compile faster in large codebases. Another headline feature in this release is the introduction of @zod/mini, a lightweight distribution weighing just ~1.9 KB gzipped, designed for tree-shakable validation in modern frontend applications.

This time, we're going dynamic. In this final chapter, we're stepping into the world of interactivity by adding JavaScript into the mix. We'll start by generating the layers programmatically, giving us more flexibility and cleaner code (and we'll never have to copy-paste divs again). Then, we'll add some interaction. Starting with a simple :hover effect, and ending with a fully responsive bulging text that follows your mouse in real time. Let's go.

Now that even the most gargantuan SUVs are being quietly wired for plug-in power, the new Bentley Bentayga Speed stands out for what it doesn't have: a battery. This is the British marque doubling down on combustion's last hurrah, along with only a small handful of its ultra-luxe competitors. It's a straight-up gas-powered V8, twin-turbocharged to deliver 650 hp and 850 Nm of torque, in an era of hybrid boosters and complex electric trickery.
