A new study from Yale University found that adults with both insomnia and sleep apnea face higher risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Researchers looked at nearly one million post-9/11 U.S. veterans and discovered that those with both conditions have a distinct risk state. The two conditions often overlap and worsen health outcomes, highlighting the … Read more
For many people, Linux is synonymous with Ubuntu. However, this can lead to missing out on the full potential of the operating system. Here are four reasons why sticking to Ubuntu can limit your understanding and experience of Linux. Firstly, relying on Ubuntu’s defaults can be limiting.

Bitcoin developers have proposed a new output type, Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), which removes the key-path door from Taproot’s functionality. This change aims to reduce long-exposure risk and make the protocol more quantum-safe. P2MR outputs directly commit to the script-tree Merkle root, requiring users to reveal a script and provide a Merkle proof. The proposal frames quantum … Read more

It’s not your job to “fix” your partner’s trauma, and trying to do so can recreate painful dynamics from childhood. As children, we learned to anticipate the moods or desires of those in power to stay safe, which led us to become caretakers and mediators in our adult relationships. However, this desire to help others … Read more
Rapid volumetric 3D printing has been a long-standing challenge in various fields, including engineering, photonics, and biology. Traditional methods often suffer from trade-offs between resolution and build rate, limiting their efficiency and flexibility. Here, we propose a novel method called digital incoherent synthesis of holographic light fields (DISH), which enables high-speed, high-resolution volumetric printing of … Read more
