SHOPIFY PARTNERS WITH COINBASE AND STRIPE IN LANDMARK STABLECOIN DEAL

Shopify is rolling out stablecoin payments to all users on its platform later this year. Merchants will be able to set up their own online marketplaces and accept payments in USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle. Access will be gradually expanded across the US and Europe before being opened up to all users. Shopify worked with Coinbase and collaborated with Stripe to develop new payment protocols and integrate stablecoins into its existing software stack.

PARTIAL KEYFRAMES

Partial Keyframes is a CSS animation technique where you omit either the `from` or `to` blocks in keyframe animations, which allows them to inherit starting or ending values from the element's current state instead of using hardcoded values. This makes animations dynamic and composable for effects like fading elements to their natural opacity or animating to values set by other concurrent animations.

EXPERIMENTAL RETINA IMPLANTS GIVE MICE INFRARED VISION

Chinese scientists recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace failing photoreceptors and potentially provide infrared vision as a bonus. They work without an external camera or power source. The implants have been tested in mice and non-human primates - results in mice seemed promising, with the blind mice in the study responding to light and seemingly being able to see near-infrared wavelengths as well. The implants let the primates see infrared light, but their normal vision appeared unchanged.

BIOENGINEERED TOOTH "GROWS" IN PLACE TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING

Researchers have developed an artificial tooth implant that 'grows' into the gums and fuses with existing nerves to mimic the form and function of a real tooth. They can be put in place without any bone drilling. The artificial tooth features a biodegradable outer layer that contains stem cells and specific proteins that trigger the cells to mature into nerve tissue. This allows the implant to 'talk' to the brain, much like a real tooth, allowing the tooth to sense things like food texture and temperature.

AGENTIC CODING RECOMMENDATIONS

Agentic coding is evolving rapidly. This post describes an agentic workflow - while it might be quickly outdated, it shows how integrating agents in the development processes can unlock significant productivity gains. While tools and techniques will evolve, the core principles remain essential. The goal isn't just to leverage agents to write code faster, but to write better, more maintainable, and resilient code.
