Researchers found that seeking discomfort as a signal of personal growth motivates engagement and increases perceived goal achievement in areas that cause immediate discomfort. This approach was tested across various areas of personal growth, including self-confidence, emotional processing, and learning about opposing viewpoints.

The Wayland color management protocol may finally merge after four years of discussion, with implementations for KDE, GNOME, and Weston already underway. Pekka Paalane's "ACK" for Weston compositor support brings cautious optimism for its staging-level readiness.

KDE and GNOME plan to create custom Linux distributions, codenamed Project Banana and GNOME OS, respectively. These distributions aim to provide stable, reliable experiences for users, but may lead to fragmentation and duplication of efforts in the Linux ecosystem.

Scientists discovered a genetic pathway causing a rare autoimmune disorder, APECED, in people of Puerto Rican heritage. A new treatment may be possible after researchers found a potential cure in a lab using an antisense oligonucleotide.

The book aims to inspire programmers with modern mathematical concepts relevant to coding, covering topics like category theory and monads. It's not for mathematicians but for programmers seeking to improve their skills through a deeper understanding of computing.

The Quake III Arena bot is an artificial player that emulates a human player in the game environment, allowing for solo play and practice without a network connection. The bot uses a cognitive model to perceive and understand the virtual world, and its behavior is defined by a sequence of actions that can be adjusted based on the game environment and goals.

A developer named Nel writes code in plain text editor Emacs, relying on muscle memory and understanding of programming concepts. Her approach sparks a team revival of independent thinking and collaboration, leading to increased productivity and better code quality.
