Why do you want a fitness tracker? This is the first question I ask any time I’m asked to recommend a device. The number-one rule of wearable tech is that it has to be something you actually want to wear. So instead of molding yourself to a device, it’s better to pick something that isn’t […] Read more ›

U.S. healthcare providers write off more than $125B in earned revenue every year, and the culprit is not bad billing or bad care. It is something far more mundane: a single claim has to travel through five or six unrelated systems before payment arrives, and no one has ever connected them. One NYC startup spent its first year embedded inside clinics as fractional CFOs to figure out exactly why, then... Read more ›

TL;DR: Sentry дедуплицирует backend-ошибки по хешу (error class + top stack frame + module). Для UI-багов этот рецепт ломается — у expect(button).toBeVisible() нет stack frame в продуктовом смысле, есть локатор + assertion + URL. В webtest-orch я собрал composite SHA-256 fingerprint из (normalized_selector | assertion type | error class | URL template | message[:80]) с тремя rules нормализации (:nth-child, UUID, /users/123 → /users/:id).

Tony Isaac shares a report from NPR: Federal survey data shows that the amount of math homework assigned to fourth and eighth grade students, in particular, has been steadily declining for the past decade. Some educators and parents say this is a good thing -- students shouldn't spend six or more hours a day at school and still have additional schoolwork to complete at home. But the research on homework... Read more ›

Hashicorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto says GitHub's frequent outages have made it "no longer a place for serious work," prompting him to move his Ghostty terminal emulator project elsewhere after 18 years on the platform. The Register reports: "I've been angry about it. I've hurt people's feelings. I've been lashing out. Because GitHub is failing me, every single day, and it is personal. It is irrationally personal," he wrote. The reason... Read more ›

The revised figures have reignited talks in Sacramento over whether the project can realistically be completed, how long it will take, and whether the state can continue... Read more ›

A federal judge denied Sam Bankman-Fried's request for a new trial, calling his claims of DOJ witness intimidation "wildly conspiratorial" and unsupported by the record. Judge Lewis Kaplan said (PDF) the FTX founder's motion appeared tied to a pre-indictment plan to recast himself as a Republican victim of Biden's DOJ in hopes of gaining sympathy, leniency, or even a Trump pardon.
