Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reunite on stage in Broadway’s ‘Waiting for Godot’
It's a classic of theater that continues to be taken on by top actors and still resonates with audiences. “Waiting for Godot” mixes despair and comedy to raise questions about the meaning of life. Now, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, two actors who are great friends, are doing their waiting on Broadway. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown has the story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.

Guilty on all counts: Jury convicts Netflix director Carl Rinsch in $11 million fraud case
Prosecutors accused Carl Rinsch, who directed the Keanu Reeves-starring "47 Ronin," of fraud after an ambitious sci-fi Netflix project collapsed.

PSA for users that regularly test #Fedora Beta as well as proposed updates once the new version was released:
Do not enable updates-testing[1] by modifying /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; instead do it like this:
$ sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-testing.enabled=true
Otherwise updates-testing will be disabled shortly before the release of a new version (t…

Junkies are Waiting for the Man (cf. Lou Reed).
Not so with @… and his Niri and DankMaterialShell repos.
The Goodies have landed already 🥳
So: Niri 25.11 and DankMaterialShell 1.0 in full action on Slackware Current.

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.
Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.

Last night was a very good night to be among fellow Democrats from across the county. Here is what we did:
Eileen Higgins blew out the Miami Mayor’s race, winning by 19 points, 59.5%-40.5%.
In the last two years we’ve flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami, and Mayor-Elect Higgins will be the first Dem in this office in almost 30 years
In a Georgia state house special election our candidate Eric Gisler flipped a Trump 12 district, 51%-49%

Inferring cosmological parameters from galaxy and dark sirens cross-correlation
The number of observed gravitational wave (GW) events is growing fast thanks to rapidly improving detector sensitivities. GWs from compact binary coalescences like Black Holes or Neutron Stars behave like standard sirens and can be used as cosmological probes. To this aim, generally, the observation of an electromagnetic counterpart and the measurement of the redshift are needed. However, even when those are not available, it is still possible to exploit these "dark sirens" via statistical meth…

Composition Law of Conjugate Observables in Random Permutation Sorting Systems
We present the discovery of a fundamental composition law governing conjugate observables in the Random Permutation Sorting System (RPSS). The law links the discrete permutation count Np and the continuous elapsed time T through a functional relation connecting the characteristic function of timing distributions to the probability generating function of permutation counts. This framework enables entropy purification, transforming microarchitectural timing fluctuations into uniform randomness vi…
