The lambda keyword. The parameters (or bound variables), and The function body. A lambda function can have any number of parameters, but the function body can only contain one expression.

Prince William is reportedly upset that he and Prince Harry are now “separate entities.” The two brothers used to be thick as thieves, but since Prince Harry has gotten married, their dynamic has changed. The royals are currently going through a transitional phase, following some not-so-private personal matters surfacing in the public eye.

So I clicked update, and it did, and then I went to the Chrome Releases blog to find the changelog. Usually it’s boring, but Chrome 27 actually has three new cool things: Web pages load 5% faster on average chrome....

Using Google’s excellent Voice Action feature to issue the “Google, Make me a sandwich” command will lead the phone to respond “What? Make it yourself” or “You’re a sandwich”. Below is a quick video of this funny easter egg in action -: That’s not all though. Say “sudo, make me a sandwich” and you get an “OK” reply from Google. Until the day modern engineering actually allows us to make a sandwich by a simple voice command to our smartphones, this is perhaps the next best thing we can get....

The Galaxy Note 5, which went on sale across major markets of the world late last week, comes with an improved S Pen with a spring-loaded design that automatically ejects the Pen when pressed once. This design improvement allowed Samsung to make the S Pen sit flush with the bottom of the handset thereby giving the Note 5 a more aesthetically pleasing design. However, it looks like the company did not conduct proper testing of the new auto-eject mechanism of the S Pen as there is one vital design flaw with it....

Since a purported iPad 3 back-shell image leaked earlier today, we have dug into the story to uncover where it originally came from and some of the intricate details behind the part.

This gives credence to reports about the iPad 3 is in production, and it likely means things are moving full steam ahead of the rumored-March launch....

Via Weibo, the above image is claimed to be a real photo of an actual iPhone 7 back, not a mockup or case. Most interestingly in this picture is the new rear camera — it appears to be bevelled and protrude outwards. The camera is also aligned differently compared to current iPhones; it is positioned closer to the top-left corner. The camera hole also appears to be slightly larger than the current 12 megapixel shooter in the iPhone 6s....

New app Quarator seeks to reduce instances of review bombing through an ingenious new test to keep the trolls at bay and shake up the status quo set by review aggregate sites like Rotten Tomatoes. Qurator comes from filmmaker Thomas Eromose Ikimi (Legacy: Black Ops) and actor Brandon Victor Dixon (Hamilton, NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar). These days, it seems like every time a movie comes out with a lead actor who isn’t a straight white male, its Rotten Tomatoes audience review score is bombarded with trolls who bring down the Audience Score with reactionary hate speech and whining complaints about “SJW” agendas....
