"You're not the last Belmont anymore", Trevor reminds his daughter Rose, as they gently sail into a Paris ablaze and ripped apart by monsters. Rose knows it well, as do indie developers Evil Empire. Following their success with roguelike Dead ...
Mullenweg with more free time is not good for WordPress. He doesn’t need Automattic and they can’t stop his destruction, WordPress is owned by the Foundation (a board of Matt + two puppets). Or to put it in words prequel ...
A charcoal sketch of a faceless purple robot working the levers of a dense industrial machine, beside an empty office chair with a worker's cap left hanging on it/images/slow-path-to-ai-takeover.webp/images/slow-path-to-ai-takeover.webp There's a lot of conversation about how AI could go bad ...
I can’t believe I just unsubscribed from Smashing Magazine’s RSS feed. When I was starting my career Smashing Magazine was the hottest place for web development news. I published there myself. Smashing Magazine is unrecognisable to me now. The editorial ...
I think the iPhone Duo might serve me well in the Post-Programming Era. Now that 90% of my work is remotely coordinating Codex and Claude from my phone, I need a desktop-class browser more than I need a full-size laptop. ...
It's hard to believe it, but it's been a year since I started this crazy journey! I nearly missed it, as things have really begun picking up steam. A strong network One of the biggest sources of uncertainty coming into ...
Normally, the best way to watch an Apple event is the TV app on an Apple TV, but damn if their use of maxed-out HDR for visualizations combined with sudden cuts back to SDR footage didn't make it feel like ...
Speaking of being on the internet and finding things that make you go, “Hey! It’s not just me!” I scrolled across this skeet from Tyler Gaw: I just dug to the bottom of my Big Box of Cables to find ...
Kubernetes has many ways to describe what is happening on a Node. Readiness, taints, Pod state, labels, annotations, and provider-specific APIs each expose part of the picture. What has been missing is a shared, Kubernetes-owned way to say that a ...
Being a vampire is a pretty raw deal... or so the vamps inform us when they are not having freaky gothic sex, shapeshifting into wolves, enjoying the slimming effects of a uniquely low-carb diet, or enduring through marvellous future epochs ...
It's probably poor form to do another "what I said in a group chat" (this time, to culture critic Rowan Kaiser. Hermits can namedrop too, shut up) intro, but "Oh i already liked menace, that's why I hate it" feels ...
It's hard to know where to start when talking about Stupid Never Dies. An action RPG built on style, excess and punk ideology. I mean, within the first minutes of my demo starting, I am flushing undead protagonist Davy down ...
CrUX shows another fall in good INP experiences, making careful attribution more useful than a quick explanation.
Today's links Anti-vax/anti-trust: Remembering saves lives. Hey look at this: Delights to delectate.

Embedded C is something that I would only wish for my worst enemies. On the other hand, embedded Rust has matured to a point where many companies are now shipping
One year later and it feels like both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air could be announced tomorrow, not a year ago, and would seem fresh and exciting.
Over the past 6 months I've transitioned my entire dev workflow over to agentic engineering. I now have a set of tools I use for coding with AI for both work and personal engagements - across machines...

Marcin Wichary has a lovely article titled “Photoshop’s challenges with focus, pt. 2”. If you’re into the minutiae of interface design, this is a good ‘un. It perfectly illustrates how impossible it is to try and compare two interfaces side ...

AI/ML and complex batch workloads continue to push the boundaries of Kubernetes scheduling. Following the foundational workload-centric enhancements introduced in previous releases, Kubernetes v1.37 delivers the next major milestone in the Workload-Aware Scheduling (WAS) journey.

Bit of an anticlimax, really. After months of (justified) revulsion and anti-anticipation over Nvidia DLSS 5’s AI rendering, it’s now available in a live game - license laden b-baller NBA 2K27 - and it looks... maybe not that bad? This ...
I promise this post is not merely a comment on a Hacker News submission because good lord that would be desperate but that is where I’m starting: “They send all typed into editor input to codepen.dev almost immediately (you would ...

Arenanet are keeping a lot of Guild Wars 3 hidden away. Throughout the short presentation of their new fantasy MMO, the refrain is 'We're not talking about that yet'. Mounts, professions, dynamic world events, even shops and the economy are ...
