The "use the platform" mantra is a call to developers to leverage browser capabilities instead of building their own solutions, but some developers prefer custom code for fun and learning.
The Video Game History Foundation has expanded its digital archive to over 5000 magazines, spanning 46 years of video game history. They've added Japanese-language magazines, including Neo Geo Freak, with text-searchable content and improved accessibility features.
OpenBSD developers rejected a proposal to add the uutils coreutils reimplementations, citing concerns over licensing philosophy and behavioral consistency. The project's use of Rust and metapackage structure also raised concerns about compatibility with OpenBSD's packaging conventions.
The trades offer a viable alternative to college education, with high-paying jobs and physical rewards, but may be at risk from AI automation. Tradespeople have a different perspective on the value of their work compared to white-collar professionals.
Timur Kristóf improved AMDGPU kernel driver for old graphics cards, enhancing support for Linux gaming and tasks. His work has made these aging graphics cards more viable for 2026 and beyond with better performance and functionality.
Ukraine is rapidly transitioning to renewable energy sources, including solar power, to boost its energy security and resilience in the face of ongoing conflict with Russia. The country aims to double its renewable energy consumption in four years through decentralized systems like rooftop solar and local storage.

Default hard budget caps should be the norm for pay-by-usage services and APIs to prevent unexpected charges. This feature would help users avoid surprise bills, allowing them to opt-in or out of hard limits on a prominent checkbox basis.
A Webster man is celebrating his 100th year with a kidney donated by his mom in 1978. The kidney, which was transplanted when he was 16, has lasted for over four decades and is now the longest surviving transplant at Strong Hospital.
The author, a software engineer, took an EMT course in 2024 after years of interest and finally getting the time off. They found the training to be fun and valuable for its own sake, despite initial concerns about usefulness.
Yann LeCun, a pioneer in deep learning, disagrees with fellow AI researcher Dario Amodei that artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. He believes the risks are overblown and think many warnings from executives at leading AI companies are misguided.

Cloudflare's Artifacts is a versioned filesystem that enables agents to collaborate on code, with features like programmable primitives and Git operations. Users can build their own products and workflows using Artifacts in open beta, competing for the next Git platform on Cloudflare.
Advanced optimization techniques for a full-speed Gameboy emulator have been discovered, focusing on performance-critical code. These methods may be particularly useful for complex projects like emulators or large simulations.
Dear ImGui was developed by Omar Cornut and every direct or indirect contributors to the GitHub. The early version of this library was developed with the support of Media Molecule and first used internally on the game Tearaway.

The author hacked time using C2PA metadata to verify winning lottery numbers, but discovered a vulnerability in the exclusion feature that allows tampering with images after fact-checking. The exclusion feature can be used to sign an empty string, making it difficult to detect tampering without explicit specification of allowed exclusions for each file format.
The photographer discovered a pattern in their years of taking photos of benches, revealing changes in design that excluded people with nowhere else to go. Through reviewing their archive, they realized they had unintentionally documented the evolution of "hostile architecture" over time.
FTL is a userspace OS library that isolates containers and provides a hypervisor-like interface, making it easy to add features and debug. It combines the best of microkernels and monolithic kernels for secure and performant operation.
NASA is considering reviving the SR-71 Blackbird, a high-speed spy plane that disappeared in 1999. Tim Conners, former lead propulsion engineer for NASA's Blackbird program, believes it could be used as an engine test bed to develop new high-speed engines.
The author created a system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology to track the movement of six bins, integrating it with Home Assistant for reminders and notifications. The system uses fixed radio anchors and small battery tags to estimate distance, which is then used to determine if a bin has moved far enough from its usual storage area.
Thoreau BASIC offers improved features and syntax, including 64-bit memory and native x64 JIT compilation. It also supports various file systems, networking, sound playback, and debugging tools.
