just now (108+ words) An otherwise dull Jaguars-Titans game turned feisty in the fourth quarter today. Titans safety Mike Brown was ejected for his role in a fight after a punt, and three other players were flagged for personal fouls. Brown went after Jaguars long snapper Ross Matiscik after Matiscik took a shot at Tennessee's Julius Chestnut. Brown got ejected; Matiscik got a personal foul for unnecessary roughness but was not ejected. Also flagged for unnecessary roughness personal fouls were Jaguars punter Logan Cooke and Titans cornerback Kair Elamn. The Titans haven't had much fight other than that incident, as they're losing 25-3 in the fourth quarter....

Sumrall emerged as the favorite after a flirtation with Lane Kiffin, who shifted his focus to LSU....

just now (904+ words) I've been thinking about error handling lately'not the syntax debates or "which language does it best" arguments, but something more fundamental. What makes one approach architecturally better than another? There's one principle that gives you an objective basis for these decisions: the Principle of Independent Variation (PIV). It states: things that vary independently should be separated; things that vary together should be grouped. Deceptively simple, but it tells you which design is technically superior'though context may still force a trade-off. Let me show you what I mean by applying it to four error handling strategies. PIV starts by asking: what are the independent reasons this code might change? For error handling, I see three: These are genuinely independent. Adding a new error type shouldn't require touching business logic. Changing how you recover from network failures shouldn't affect which errors exist....

1+ min ago (334+ words) SpaceX chief Elon Musk said he is keen to launch SpaceX's low-cost, high-reliability Starlink internet service in India, expanding a network that already spans more than 150 countries. In a conversation with investor and entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath on the People by WTF podcast, Musk outlined why Starlink's technology stands apart from conventional connectivity systems. At the core of Starlink's performance is a vast constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites positioned roughly 550 kilometres above the planet, dramatically lower than traditional geostationary satellites that sit at about 36,000 kilometres. This proximity enables far lower latency, translating into faster response times that closely resemble terrestrial broadband. Musk emphasised that Starlink's satellites are interlinked using laser connections, creating a resilient laser mesh in space. Should ground-based fiber cables be cut or damaged, these satellites can route data between one another, maintaining uninterrupted service. Starlink's Capacity To Work Even…...

On Sunday, Lane Kiffin announced that he's decided to leave his position as head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels to take the job at LSU " something that ESPN insiders Mark Schlabach and Pete Thamel reported was "expected" to happen as of yesterday.

"My request to do so was denied by Keith Carter despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could better maintain their high level of performance," he continued. "Unfortunately, that means Friday's Egg Bowl was my last game coaching the Rebels." "While I am looking…...

2+ min ago (436+ words) After leading the Dallas Mavericks to a much-needed win against the Los Angeles Clippers, Cooper Flagg made NBA history in the process. At 18 years and 343 days old, he became the youngest player ever to score 35 points in a game, surpassing LeBron James, who achieved the milestone at 18 years and 348 days. Flagg recording this impressive stat line to lead the Mavericks to victory could not have come at a better time. The franchise has faced numerous issues over the past year and struggled significantly to begin the 2025-26 NBA season. Defeating Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the Clippers is no small achievement, especially since Anthony Davis did not play in this game, prompting Flagg to take over the reins as the Mavericks" leader. When Flagg was selected with the first pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, many wondered what his first season with…...
