Three console generations, three very different approaches to emulation, and one question Google gets asked thousands of times a month: which old-console emulator is actually worth installing in October 2026? RPCS3 keeps shipping monthly alpha builds for the PlayStation 3. Xenia’s community fork, Xenia Canary, pushed a Direct3D 12 fix on October 6, 2026. Cxbx-Reloaded,…
Developers keep asking the wrong question. The debate over Cursor vs Claude Code treats the two tools like rival phone brands, something you pick once and defend forever. In practice, a growing share of professional engineering teams run both at the same time, routing different kinds of work to whichever tool handles it better. Cursor…
Type “next js vs react” into Google and you will land in the middle of one of the most persistent misunderstandings in web development. React is a UI library. Next.js is a framework built on top of that library. They are not two competing products fighting for the same job, yet developers compare them head-to-head…
Six months ago, Delve looked like the future of compliance software: an AI-native startup founded by two MIT dropouts, backed by Y Combinator, promising to compress a SOC 2 audit from months into days. By April 2026, multiple outlets reported that Y Combinator had cut ties with the company following allegations of fabricated audit evidence…
Type “switch 2 emulator” into Google right now and you will find forum threads, YouTube videos, and GitHub stars climbing by the day. What you will not find, as of October 10, 2026, is a single emulator that boots a commercial Nintendo Switch 2 game. Three public projects are chasing that goal anyway: Pound, oboromi,…
OpenAI’s biggest math announcement of the year lasted less than a day before it needed a correction. On October 6, 2026, the company published 722 preprints to a public GitHub repository, each one claiming progress on one of 372 unsolved or hard mathematical problems, generated with help from an internal mathematical-reasoning system. By October 7,…
Anthropic and Microsoft are fighting over the same desk. One company wants to be the model you reason with. The other wants to be the assistant already living inside Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. As of October 10, 2026, that fight has a name: Claude vs Copilot, a search term that now pulls roughly 1,900…
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an ongoing credential-theft campaign that has compromised two high-profile open-source maintainer accounts to push a malicious workflow into over 340 repositories. “Using the account of Takashi Kitao, author of the 18,400-star game engine pyxel, the attacker pushed a malicious workflow to 27 repositories starting at 13:20 UTC,” StepSecurity
The barriers to building software have collapsed. Today, anyone can build. Hackathons are a great place to start learning. The post Hack the World: Why hackathons are still the best place to learn to build appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
A new security audit has found that roughly one in eight credential slots inside publicly posted Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration files on GitHub contain a hardcoded secret, and nearly a quarter of those secrets never expire and carry broad access rights. The research, published by Hush Security on October 8, 2026, scanned approximately 82,000…
