Leading today we have two stories that don’t fit into the regular categories. First, at Nature we get to hear about how genetic evidence is showing that there are likely two founding populations in the Americas. This is just really fascinating to a geek like me, so hopefully you find it interesting as well. The other lead story is from Google Chrome and their announcements of the improvements coming in the next version. This is interesting more because of the technology and concepts they are using to drive this performance. There are also a few tool announcements as well, JetBrains Toolbox, React Developer Tools, MSBuild and Diffy.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
