More people need to try Vivid/Stasis. Not only is it a great rhythm game, but also a genre-hopping visual novel, a cypher-cracking ARG adventure, a Yume Nikki like exploration thing and more. And FREE.
If you just want a rhythm game, that's a menu option too.

This reads like something out of a sitcom, genuinely insane
Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability

People always want to use ADCs for things you don't need ADCs for. Instead you can just use time constants. The CH572 has no ADCs but that doesn't stop me from measuring battery voltage and the pressure on some silicone buttons.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.
You Can't Report on Hunger While Taking Bread Off the Table
On the proliferation of machine translation in video game outlets covering the effects of AI on labor.

TypeScript is a psychology experiment designed to see if you can read "the JavaScript API you know and love, but with the safety of strong typing!" and get so distracted by how much you like strongly typed languages that you forget that you do not, in fact, neither know nor love the JavaScript API

I really do not get the general urge among online academics to dunk on X area for discovering what Y area has known for decades. There are many reasons why this is unscholarly. To name a few:
1. Most scientists don't perform interdisciplinary research because it's explicitly disincentivized.

@'ing the majority of Fighting Game Community pros & content creators who keep accepting money from the Saudi government for the sake of "esports & hype", completely disregarding their own queer & female peers
"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

I cannot overstate how important it is, right now, to think of information as a) something you transmit and pass along instead of just receiving; b) something that is more useful to others when passed on for its own sake than when wrapped in media or Discourse criticism.
