There's 20 things I loved checking out at the @acmimuseum.bsky.social Game Worlds exhibit but running at the top are the attempts to bring a taste of LAN parties to visitors and that there is a patch of sod in the lobby where you are encouraged to Touch Grass.

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K With virtually no content and limited benefits, 8K TVs were doomed.
Because most people can’t tell the difference and there’s not enough content; streaming platforms (Netflix etc) content have much lower bitrate than a Bluray. Most Games on consoles can barely hold 4k at 30fps and even that needs upscaling sometimes.
Unfortunately, this is confirmed news.
Not remotely what you want to see. Wishing everyone at NI the best in a tough time, and hoping that in the restructuring process, the tools find a good home. Details:
A touchscreen displaying the DOOM title screen, connected to some large metal tanks and pipework. There is a ladder and raised gantry running behind the tanks.
Last week I played DOOM on a cream cake machine in an abandoned factory as it was being demolished around me. Today I recorded all of the bits to camera and slapped together a rough edit. Video later this week if all goes well...

It's rare enough to get bitten by a misplaced comma bug in C/C++. Even if you know how the comma operator works anyone can legitimately stare at this sorts of bug for hours without seeing it. github.com/ocornut/imgu...

We're being shown a vision of a very dark future where everything is technology and everything is broken.
There used to be a joke about the Pentium FDIV bug where the CPU is asked "What's 4*6?" "4819!" "It's not though" "Yeah but I was quick innit?", and now people look at that as aspirational.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

A retrospective of my tech career - a work-focused autobiography, basically - feels a bit vain, but I'm hopeful that it is interesting or useful enough to justify that.
If nothing else writing it up forced me to try to remember what actually happened.

The Apple Calculator leaked 32GB of RAM. Not used. Not allocated. Leaked. A basic calculator app is hemorrhaging more memory than most computers had a decade ago. Twenty years ago, this would have triggered emergency patches and post-mortems. Today, it's just another bug report in the queue. We've normalized software catastrophes to the point where a Calculator leaking 32GB of RAM barely makes the news. This isn't about AI. The quality crisis started years before ChatGPT existed. AI just weaponized existing incompetence.
Software development is in danger because nothing is given the proper time. techtrenches.substac...

Convert json parameters with values into a list of objects and call functions(parameterslist); Or do you mean that it is not you library and you have to use it as is?
Isn't it better to pass a list of some kind of objects of an overload class type?
In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,
imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
Learning in new and visceral ways that engineering is still more about communication than anything else.
Which would be okay if communication wouldn't be so fucking hard all the time.
