Apple just raised prices across its iPad and MacBook lineup. The good news is that many retailers are still selling their inventory at the old prices or far less, which means you can still score some of the best iPad deals we may see in awhile — if ever again. So if you’ve been thinking […]

The Oppo Bubble is a smart second screen for your phone, one that can be attached and detached at will, connects wirelessly, and serves as either a selfie screen or a wireless camera remote.

I have long been on the hunt for the perfect distraction-free writing setup. The latest contender is BYOK, which stands for Bring Your Own Keyboard. It's a simple $199 black plastic rectangle with a low-resolution LCD screen that lets you edit text and does almost nothing else. I've tried dedicated apps. I've even converted an […]

Introduction In the early 2000s, email spam was rampant, cluttering inboxes with unsolicited messages promising quick riches or promoting dubious products. Fast forward to today, and a similar phenomenon is occurring in the world of open-source software: Pull Request (PR) spam. Much like its email predecessor, PR spam is becoming a major nuisance for developers and maintainers, disrupting workflows and compromising the integrity of collaborative software projects. This blog post explores the parallels between early 2000s email spam and contemporary PR spam, examines the motivations behind this new wave of digital clutter, and discusses potential solutions to mitigate its impact. The Rise of PR Spam The Allure of Contribution Metrics One of the primary drivers behind PR spam is the increasing emphasis on contribution metrics in the open-source community. Platforms like GitHub have made contributing to projects more accessible, and many developers are eager to showcase their activity through public repositories. However, this focus on quantity over quality can lead to an influx of low-effort or irrelevant PRs. An example of this is Hacktoberfest, an annual event encouraging contributions to open-source projects. While well-intentioned, it has, in some instances, resulted in a deluge of superficial PRs. Contributors seeking to meet participation thresholds often submit changes that are trivial or unnecessary, much like the spam emails of old that inundated our inboxes with irrelevant or nonsensical content. Automated PR Generators Another factor contributing to the rise of PR spam is the use of automated tools that generate pull requests. These tools can be beneficial for routine tasks such as dependency updates or code formatting. However, when misused, they can lead to a flood of PRs that lack genuine human oversight or consideration, akin to the automated email spam generators that once plagued communication networks. For instance, a tool might automatically submit

A critique published in Nature Wednesday calls the basic technology behind Microsoft's "breakthrough" quantum computing chip the Majorana 1 into question.
