It provides a high-performance in-process event dispatcher for Go, allowing decoupled modules and asynchronous event handling.

It supports both synchronous and asynchronous processing with generic event types implementing an Event interface.

It processes millions of events per second, outperforming Go channels by 4x to 10x in benchmarks.

Tesla sales in Europe plunged 28% in May compared to a year earlier.

This decline marks the fifth consecutive month of falling Tesla sales in Europe.

Overall battery electric vehicle sales in Europe grew 25% year over year, with Germany’s EV sales up 45%.

Many ransomware families include a built-in failsafe to avoid installing on Windows systems with CIS-region virtual keyboards (e.g., Russian, Ukrainian).

This exclusion helps cybercriminals avoid legal scrutiny by preventing malware from running in their own jurisdictions.

Installing a CIS language keyboard on Windows can act as a simple "vaccine" against these malware strains.

mise simplifies installing, using, and managing development tools per project directory.

A mise.toml file specifies tool versions and custom tasks, and mise automatically switches tools when changing directories.

Projects can use different versions of the same tool by configuring separate mise.toml files in each directory.

NOAA will stop ingesting, processing, and distributing all data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program by June 30, 2025.

DMSP satellites deliver high-resolution global imagery twice daily, essential for tracking hurricane development and polar sea ice changes.

Scientists warn that losing DMSP data could degrade hurricane forecasts, hinder rapid intensification predictions, and set forecasting back decades with no US replacement.

Applying body lotion greatly reduces the personal hydroxyl radical field by diluting skin lipids and emitting phenoxyethanol, which increases OH loss.

Fragrances emit high levels of ethanol that act as a strong hydroxyl radical sink, suppressing self-generated OH despite terpenes that can produce OH.

When applied together, fragrances cause a sharp immediate drop in OH levels, while lotions maintain a longer-lasting suppression of the oxidation field.

Bloom filters use a bit vector and multiple hash functions to test set membership quickly and memory-efficiently.

They can definitively rule out non-members, but may return false positives for members.

The false positive rate is approximated by (1−e^(−kn/m))^k and can be tuned by choosing filter size and number of hashes.

Transistor counts double every two years but cutting-edge chip fabs now cost over $100 billion to build, limiting the number of companies that can afford them.

Names like '2 nm' or '20 Å' are marketing labels and not actual measurements of transistor size anymore.

Extreme ultraviolet lithography reaches its limits due to the physics of light wavelength, costly equipment, and chemical limits of photoresists.

Malware checks the Win32_Fan WMI class to detect virtual machines and avoid analysis.

Windows retrieves CPU fan information from SMBIOS type 27 (Cooling Device) entries.

Xen’s smbios_firmware option only overrides certain SMBIOS types, so a patch is needed to add type 27 and 28 support.

Octelium is a free open source, self-hosted platform for unified zero trust secure access to any resource behind NAT or on the public internet.

It can operate as a modern remote access VPN, a ZTNA/BeyondCorp solution, an API/AI gateway, a PaaS, and a self-hosted tunnel infrastructure.

Access is managed at the application layer with dynamic, context-aware, secret-less policies eliminating the need to share long-lived credentials.
