    Nintendo has unveiled the Switch 2 with a trailer and promo websit=

    They have =
    wider shoulder buttons and a new connector in the center.

    Blue Origin has r=
    eached orbit for the first time since its founding
    nearly a quarter of a =
    century ago. The launch occurred on Thursday
    morning, a little more than =
    an hour into its launch window. While the
    first stage did not successfull=
    y return to Earth, the debut launch of
    the New Glenn rocket was a smashin=
    g success. SpaceX required 19
    launches before it finally landed an orbita=

    time, so it was unlikely Blue Origin would have su=

    SpaceX caught Starship's Super Heavy booster for a second time on=

    Thursday. However, an anomaly with the upper stage caused it to
    disapp=
    ear after eight and a half minutes into the flight. The Federal
    Aviation =
    Administration slowed or diverted a number of flights in the
    area where d=
    ebris was spotted. SpaceX believes that the incident was
    caused by an oxy=
    gen/fuel leak inside Starship that built up too much
    pressure inside the =
    cavity of the craft. A link to a video of the
    debris falling back to Eart=

    <strong>Five years of React Native =

    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Shopify switched to React Native for th= ree reasons: to stop building the same features twice, enable devs to work = fluently across iOS, Android, and Web, and ship more value. The transition = was successful, increasing productivity, allowing teams to do more with the=
    same number of people, and freeing up capacity to ship more value. Shopify=
    has now migrated all of its apps to React Native. This article discusses t=
    he lessons the team learned along the way.
