When I'm not writing code or being a dad, I like collecting and playing video games.

“Magic Carpet” 1 and 2 are some of the most unique #retrogames ever made! I played them in the 90’s, and I still play them even today. The first game was even ported to #Playstation and #SegaSaturn (PS1 version is better). Highly recommend playing them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_C...

Full self-driving cars will not succeed without a #LiDAR and vision combination. LiDAR fills the voids that a “vision-only” vehicle leaves behind. I recently discovered #Luminar and am very excited about their LiDAR+vision tech! Really hoping it becomes the standard! www.luminartech.com

#LPT: Buy a #Battery tester! Every time I have changed batteries on a device, I find that only 1 or 2 of the batteries were bad, while the others were perfectly fine. Also, use rechargeable batteries! They might be expensive up front, but will save you tons of money down the road!

One of the biggest issues with #Quantum computing is, we can’t actually verify the output is correct unless we already know the answer. Current solution to this is to compute the input multiple times and take the common denominator, assuming its correct… www.sciencealert.com/scientists-j...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery – and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a...

Great example of why #retro games need a proper #CRT filter/effect when being played on a modern display. Still a matter of personal opinion… but the games artists intended it to be seen on a CRT display originally.

I grew up listening to #Ozzy, especially #BlackSabbath, and I loved watching #TheOsbournes and their shenanigans on tv in the early 2000s… you will be missed, but never forgotten… RIP Ozzy 🪦😔🥀🦇

Really enjoying #DonkeyKongBananza, it reminds me a lot of #BowsersFury. Which was a fantastic game! One of the best #Mario Games IMO. Great job #Nintendo!

#MelBrooks is such a national treasure, and I am so glad to hear he is still alive and well at the ripe age of 98! In fact, he’s well enough to come out of retirement and grace us with a sequel to #Spaceballs! So excited about this! www.theverge.com/news/687056/...
Mel Brooks is returning for Spaceballs 2
May the Schwartz be with you.
