Examples from other fields include:industrialisation of printing processes led to paperback genre fictionindustrialisation of agriculture led to ultraprocessed junk foodindustrialisation of digital image sensors led to user-generated videoIn the case of software, the industrialisation of production is giving rise to a new class of software artefact, which we might term disposable software: software created with no durable expectation of ownership, maintenance, or long-term understanding.

Will the same effect ripple through software development itself, with lower cost of effort driving higher consumption and output?

The adoption curve we’ve seen so far may pale beside what happens when dispo…

It sounds like science fiction - a factory, located hundreds of kilometres above the Earth, churning out high-quality materials.

But a Cardiff-based company is a step closer to making this a reality.

Space Forge have sent a microwave-sized factory into orbit, and have demonstrated that its furnace can be switched on and reach temperatures of around 1,000C.

They plan to manufacture material for semiconductors, which can be used back on Earth in electronics in communications infrastructure, computing and transport.

[2]The list of major portable languages that target those key durable metrics is very short: C, C++, and Rust.

First, the industry’s security problem is mostly not about programming language insecurity.

Second, for the subset that is about programming language insecurity, the problem child is C, not C++.

The only reputable public study I know of that distinguished between C and C++ is Mend.io’s as reported in “What are the most secure programming languages?” (Mend.io, 2019).

This isn’t new; compiling C code as C++ and having the C code be more correct has been true since the 1980s.

Hey folks, I got a lot of feedback from various meetings on the proposed LLVM AI contribution policy, and I made some significant changes based on that feedback.

The idea here is that contributors are not allowed to offload the work of validating LLM tool output to maintainers.

LLVM AI Tool Use PolicyPolicyLLVM’s policy is that contributors can use whatever tools they would like tocraft their contributions, but there must be a human in the loop.

However, an opt-inreview tool that keeps a human in the loop is acceptable under this policy.

Thesefactors are impossible to weigh objectively, and our project policy leaves thisdetermination up to the maintainers of the project, i.e.

BleepingComputer reported that the two offenders were former employees of Sygnia and DigitalMint — cybersecurity incident response firms that help companies that have been affected by ransomware and other cyberattacks.

“Extortion via the internet victimizes innocent citizens every bit as much as taking money directly out of their pockets.

The three conspirators attacked several U.S. companies across different states, including those based in Maryland, California, Florida, and Virginia.

Of all the victims, court records show that only a Florida-based medical device maker paid a ransom of $1.27 million — a fraction of the $10 million the group demanded from the company.

Now, Japanese researchers are moving a promising, tooth-regrowing medicine into human trials.

If the trial is successful, the researchers hope the drug will become available for all forms of toothlessness sometime around 2030.

Japanese researchers are moving forward with an experimental drug that promises to regrow human teeth.

Lasting 11 months, this study focuses on 30 males between the ages of 30 and 64—each missing at least one tooth.

While these treatments are currently focused on patients with congenital tooth deficiency, Takahashi hopes the treatment will be available for anyone who’s lost a tooth.

I go to a lot of tech conferences — 13 in 2025 — and many of those I attend are outside the US; several are in London, one is in Amsterdam, another in Paris, and two in Tokyo.

Wherever I went this past year, when we weren’t talking about AI, Linux, the cloud, or open-source software, the top non-tech topic for non-Americans involved the sweeping changes that have occurred since President Donald J. Trump returned to office last January.

The conversations generally ended with something like this: “I’m not taking a job or going to a conference in the United States.”Honestly, who can blame them?

He followed all weather patterns and forecasts, a remnant of his childhood in the countryside and his life on the move.

The idea for FediMeteo started almost by chance while I was checking the holiday weather forecast to plan an outing.

Suddenly, I thought how nice it would be to receive regular weather updates for my city directly in my timeline.

The idea was to separate instances by country, and FreeBSD jails are one of the most useful tools for this purpose.

So I decided to structure everything in this way:I would use a test VPS to see how things would go.

Module data might be shared and used by other modules, but only through dedicated public interfaces and types.

Let's use the users module example - it creates and manages users, as it is responsible for their creation and management.

The worst approach is when the users module does not really own users' data - the quotes module connects to the users module database and operates on it directly.

The quotes module would have to change it as well, since it reads raw users' data directly, not respecting any boundaries.

Without clear data ownership, dependencies become opaque and hidden; modules are tightly coupled and it is unclear how changes in one module's data may affect others.

Fed 24 Years of My Blog Posts to a Markov ModelBy Susam Pal on 13 Dec 2025Yesterday I shared a little program called Mark V. Shaney Junior at github.com/susam/mvs.

Mark V. Shaney was a synthetic Usenet user that posted messages to various newsgroups using text generated by a Markov model.

So I thought there couldn't be a better piece of text when it comes to testing out my tiny Markov model.

For that reason, I often describe a simple Markov model like this as the 'hello, world' for language models.

Also, these days, one hardly needs a Markov model to generate gibberish; social media provides an ample supply.

Fixing a Buffer Overflow in UNIX v4 Like It’s 1973IntroductionIn 2025, the only known copy of UNIX v4 surfaced on a magnetic tape.

As a setuid-root executable, it validates the root password.

The logic is standard, except for one critical flaw: the password buffer has a fixed size of 100 bytes, yet the input loop lacks a bounds check.

Below is a screen recording of the editing session:741 8 register char *p, *q; extern fin; i register int i; .

Furthermore, the knowledge that a buffer overflow could be exploited for arbitrary code execution had not yet come of age.

A SOLID Load of Bull“SOLID” is an acronym devised by the famous advocate Robert C. Martin, to popularise what is now known as the SOLID principles.

Modern languages, such as 37 year old ANSI C, take care of offsets for us, and we can now write this (before modification):struct foo { foo uint32_t a ; // Don't care about the offset uint16_t b ; // Don't care about the offset uint16_t c ; // Don't care about the offset }; struct foo f ; foo f uint32_t * a = & f . a ; uint16_t * b = & f . b ; uint16_t * c = & f . c ;And that (after modification):struct foo { foo uint32_t a ; float x ; // New…

Packages base:runtime and core:os are the oldest packages in the core library of Odin, as they were used in bootstrapping the language and the rest of the packages.

base:runtime has already been cleaned up, but core:os ’s general API was poorly designed and inconsistent across platforms.

We are expecting to transition to the new design of core:os early next year (Q1 2026).

core:os is being treated differently because it is a fundamentally different kind of package to the rest of the core library.

On Dec 17 we released systemd v259 into the wild.

In the weeks leading up to that release (and since then) I have posted a series of serieses of posts to Mastodon about key new features in this release, under the #systemd259 hash tag.

In case you aren't using Mastodon, but would like to read up, here's a list of all 25 posts:I intend to do a similar series of serieses of posts for the next systemd release (v260), hence if you haven't left tech Twitter for Mastodon yet, now is the opportunity.

My series for v260 will begin in a few weeks most likely, under the #systemd260 hash tag.

In case you are interested, here is the corresponding blog story for systemd v258, here for v257, and here for …

This article collects small, self-contained, and practical examples for working with std::chrono calendar types.

The previous blog post - see Exploring C++20 std::chrono - Calendar Types - C++ Stories - focused on the building blocks: calendar types, operators, and arithmetic rules.

In this post, we’ll focus on practical examples like:What’s the last business day of the month?

year () / January / 1 }; const sys_days current { ymd }; const days day_index = ( current - start_of_year ) + days { 1 }; std :: print ( "{} is the {}{} day of the year" , ymd , day_index .

Adding months to a year_month_day preserves the day field, even if the result is not a valid civil date.

This is sometimes called “the runST trick”, after its namesakerunST :: ( forall s . ST s a) -> a s a)runST enables Haskell to use local mutation without leaking any of the side effects to the outside.

So you can’t do this: bad :: STRef s Int = runST (newSTRef 0 ) badrunST (newSTRef The type system prevents it.

If we add a type parameter to our pointer type and universally quantify over it in allocaSafe , then ChatGPT told us that the pointer cannot escape its continuation.

-- abstract newtype SafePtr s a = MkSafePtr ( Ptr a) s aa) type role SafePtr nominal representational -- would you have thought of this?

It only creates a fresh type-level tag that uniquely identifies the runST invocation…

The Anno rule helps us make the type inference work: we can annotate a term with a type A whenever the term L has type A .

The annotation itself has the same type; A .rule helps us make the type inference work: we can annotate a term with a type whenever the term has type .

The second step involves looking at each type rule and turning them into inference and checking rules.

#[ derive (Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)] pub enum Type { Bool, Arrow(Box, Box), /// Only used when a type error ends type inference early.

ArgWrongType { expected: Type, actual: Type }, /// Checked for the expected type, got the actual type.

A colleague’s open source sits in a gray zone between the two.

A Guide to Claude Code 2.0 and getting better at using coding agents27 Dec, 2025Table of Contents✱ Contemplating...

IntroThis post is a follow-up to my post from July'25 - My Experience With Claude Code After 2 Weeks of Adventures.

Lore timeFriendship over with Claude, Now Codex is my best friendoI was using Claude Code as my main driver from late June to early September.

Why Opus 4.5 feels gooooodAs I described in the screenshot, Opus 4.5 was roughly at same code-gen capability with GPT-5.1-Codex-Max.

I don't claim this but many people love Claude Opus 4.5 for it's personality and the way it talks - some referring to it as Opus 4.5 having soul.

How To Dynamically Install Custom Elements29th December 2025Today, I want to look into one very specific topic in excruciating technical detail: how to dynamically load custom elements.

It’s a kind of branding motif that separates your high quality library of custom elements from lesser, third-party custom elements on the same web page.

So important is this fact that some people refer to custom elements as HTML custom elements, wherein the HTML part is a completely redundant qualification.

My new fontVariable with 3 axesRegardless, the implication of HTML custom elements being custom elements, being elements of HTML, is that you know which of them are in your document long before JavaScript…

...?data=example/data.json help Show help screen ...?helpDetailed StylingIn addition, parameters for weekday text, weekend text, month text, week number, day in month and weekend day in month can be styled with font size, font weight, foreground and background color.

Data FileThere is a data file option that can be used to provide parameters or text in the day cells.

See example/sched.json for the example data file with the color_cell array.

Moon phase parameters ( show_moon_phase , moon_phase_style , moon_phase_position , moon_phase_display ) can also be set in the param section (moon phase example).

If the file is not present or isn't able to be parsed, the render will continue as the dat…

Z80-μLM: A Retrocomputing Micro Language ModelZ80-μLM is a 'conversational AI' that generates short character-by-character sequences, with quantization-aware training (QAT) to run on a Z80 processor with 64kb of ram.

And a 40kb .com binary (including inference, weights & a chat-style UI) running on a 4MHz processor from 1976.

Your input is hashed into 128 buckets via trigram encoding - an abstract "tag cloud" representation.

The model responds to the shape of your input, not the exact words:"hello there" → [bucket 23: 64, bucket 87: 32, ...] "there hello" → [bucket 23: 64, bucket 87: 32, ...] (same!)

Gentle rounding on the corners, as in Sequoia, is fine, but the significantly increased radius enforced in Tahoe is a misfit.

In light mode, with default transparency, tool icons and text are clearly distinguished tonally, as are some controls including buttons and checkboxes.

Although the view title Keyboard remains readable, bleed-through of underlying colours is confusing, distracting and aesthetically upsetting.

My next examples show the same window in Providable with a selected list row being scrolled up behind what used to be a window title bar.

With the window in focus, the selection colour overwhelms the traffic light controls and window title, which should read Drop Files.

WELCOME TONON•ZERO•SUM GAMESfa world-help site & podcastHi, I'm Non-Zero-Sum James, your companion on this exploration of win-win games and how they are essential for a better future.

Each week we'll explore a new aspect of game theory, moral philosophy, ethical economics and artificial intelligence—looking to solve the complex problems we face in our world together.

All the posts are connected through the lens of non-zero-sum games, but they fall into a few broad categories.

You can start your journey with whatever appeals to you:"It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others."

The bookshelf project is where I clearly understood what my role becomes once execution stops being the bottleneck.

Partial data felt worse than no data at all, so every attempt ended the same way: a few entries filled in, followed by abandonment.

One afternoon, I photographed every book I own: spines, covers, duplicates, and the occasional blurry thumb.

Claude wrote the script and ran it.

Claude wrote a second pass, another model call that scored cover quality and flagged bad matches.

I’ve lived through several cycles of technology that, at the time, was hailed as the “end of computer programmers”.

WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop editors like Visual Basic and Delphi were going to end the need for programmers.

And now, Large Language Models are, I read on a daily basis, going to end the need for programmers.

Even if the technology genuinely made a positive difference for more teams, it still wouldn’t mean that we don’t need programmers anymore.

There’s no credible evidence that “AI” is replacing software developers in significant numbers.

As a tech reviewer, I get to test many expensive products each year -- whether I like it or not.

Bowers and Wilkins Px8 S2 headphonesJada Jones/ZDNETThe Bowers and Wilkins Px8 S2 are premium wireless headphones that sound exceptional and look luxurious.

Plus, these headphones sound as amazing as they look.

While I wish the battery life were better (my M4 MacBook Air has spoiled me), I'd pick it for its flexibility.

Meta announced on Monday that it's acquiring Manus, the China-founded startup that went viral earlier this year with the release of what was promoted as the first truly useful AI agent.

"Manus's exceptional talent will join Meta's team to deliver general-purpose agents across our consumer and business products, including in Meta AI," Meta wrote in its announcement.

A Meta spokesperson did not immediately respond to a question about whether the company plans to give its Meta AI assistant an agentic upgrade following the acquisition.

ZDNET's key takeawaysBoth Rhino Linux and EndeavorOS are rolling release distros.

Rhino Linux is based on Ubuntu, and EndeavorOS is based on Arch Linux.

If you're uncertain as to what a rolling release is, here's the gist: A rolling release is an approach to software development where updates are delivered continuously, in small, frequent increments, rather than in large, scheduled version releases.

Also: The 5 best rolling release Linux distributions - and why you should be using oneNearly every distribution based on Arch Linux is a rolling release.

Jack Wallen/ZDNETEndeavorOS goes the opposite route of Rhino Linux by taking a more complex base (Arch Linux) and making it very easy to use.

Although those Ubuntu virtual machines are used only for testing purposes, the 3GB of RAM does pretty well.

You wouldn't be able to use virtual machines.

Also: How much RAM does your PC need in 2025?

My Linux RAM sweet spotFor what I do on my Linux system (which is a ton of tabs, editing big images with GIMP, a lot of virtual machines, and the usual productivity work), I need at least 32GB of RAM.

If you double the amount of RAM you think you'll need, you'll find your PC performs much better for a longer period of time.

PostNord is ending letter delivery in Denmark after a 90%+ collapse in mail volume. It marks the first known case of a national postal carrier abandoning letters entirely -- a symbolic milestone of a fully digitized society that's sparking nostalgia even among people who stopped sending mail years ago. The New York Times reports: Denmark has had a postal service for more than 400 years. But a steep decline in its use has led the Nordic country's longtime postal carrier to stop letter deliveries entirely, a change taking effect on Tuesday. Danes have seen it coming for months: The carrier, PostNord, has been removing its red mailboxes, once a ubiquitous public fixture. The disappearance of t…

Israel has operationally deployed Iron Beam, a 100,000-watt laser air-defense system capable of shooting down drones, rockets, and mortars at negligible per-shot cost. According to Tom's Hardware, it marks the first real-world deployment of a high-energy laser as part of a modern, multi-layered missile defense network. From the report: The Iron Beam is a short-range line-of-sight laser interceptor that is extremely cheap to run and, therefore, perfectly suited for intercepting low-cost, high-volume threats. According to the official Israeli announcement, Iron Beam systems have "successfully intercepted rockets, mortars, and UAVs." A complex mix of government, military, scientific, and comme…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: South Africans ... have found a remedy for power cuts that have plagued people in the developing world for years. Thanks to swiftly falling prices of Chinese made solar panels and batteries, they now draw their power from the sun. These aren't the tiny, old-school solar lanterns that once powered a lightbulb or TV in rural communities. Today, solar and battery systems are deployed across a variety of businesses -- auto factories and wineries, gold mines and shopping malls. And they are changing everyday life, trade and industry in Africa's biggest economy. This has happened at startling speed. Solar has risen from almost nothing i…

In an opinion piece for Computerworld, columnist Steven Vaughan-Nichols argues that restrictive visa policies and a hostile border climate under the Trump administration are driving foreign tech workers, researchers, and conference speakers away from the U.S. The result, he says, is a gradual shift of talent, events, and long-term innovation toward more welcoming regions such as Europe, Canada, and Asia. From the report: I go to a lot of tech conferences -- 13 in 2025 -- and many of those I attend are outside the U.S.; several are in London, one is in Amsterdam, another in Paris, and two in Tokyo. Wherever I went this past year, when we weren't talking about AI, Linux, the cloud, or open-so…

One-Netbook has unveiled the OneXSugar Wallet, the first gaming handheld with a folding OLED display. The Verge reports: The OneXSugar Wallet was announced on China's Weibo yesterday, but with few details about its features and capabilities. That folding OLED screen has a resolution of 2480 x 1860 pixels, and the handheld will be powered by an unspecified "Qualcomm gaming platform flagship processor," but its performance and emulation capabilities are unknown. Based on photos and a video released by One-Netbook, the OneXSugar Wallet will feature a standard set of controls including asymmetrical thumbsticks, four action buttons, and a D-pad situated on either side of the lower half of its di…

PC Gamer argues that 2025 was a year full of high-profile AI embarrassments across games and entertainment, with Disney and Lucasfilm serving as the "opening salvo." From the report: At a TED talk back in April, Lucasfilm senior vice president of creative innovation Rob Bredow presented a demonstration of what he called "a new era of technology." Across 50 years of legendary innovation in miniature design, practical effects, and computer animation, Lucasfilm and its miracle workers at Industrial Light & Magic have blazed the trail for visual effects in creative storytelling -- and now Bredow was offering a glimpse at what wonders might come next. That glimpse, created over two weeks by an I…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from DW: India has surpassed Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy, according to calculations in the Indian government's end-of-year economic review. On current trends, India is expected to overtake Germany to become the world's third-largest economy within the next three years, the review said. The review said India's gross domestic product has already reached about $4.18 trillion, and is projected to reach $7.3 trillion by 2030. On current trends, it said, India would trail only the United States and China in economic heft. India's real GDP grew 8.2% in the second quarter of the 2025-26 financial year, up from 7.8% in the previous quarter a…

Axios reports that venture capitalist Alex Davis is warning that a speculative rush to build data centers without committed tenants could trigger a financing crunch by 2027-2028. "This critique is coming from inside the AI optimist camp," notes Axios, as Davis' firm, Disruptive, "recently led a large investment in AI chipmaker Groq, which then signed a $20 billion licensing deal with Nvidia. It's also backed such unicorn startups as Reflection AI, Shield AI and Gecko Robotics." Here's what Davis had to say in his investor letter this morning: "While I continue to believe the ongoing advancements in AI technology present 'once in a lifetime' investment opportunities, I also continue to see r…

China is quietly mandating that chipmakers use at least 50% domestically made equipment when expanding capacity, "as Beijing pushes to build a self-sufficient semiconductor supply chain," according to Reuters. From the report: The rule is not publicly documented, but chipmakers seeking state approval to build or expand their plants have been told by authorities in recent months that they must prove through procurement tenders that at least half their equipment will be Chinese-made, the people told Reuters. The mandate is one of the most significant measures Beijing has introduced to wean itself off reliance on foreign technology, a push that gathered pace after the U.S. tightened technology…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: Mac Bauer is fast, but the city's trams, weighing more than 100,000lbs and traveling at a maximum speed of nearly 45mph, should be far faster than him. And yet as of late December, in head-to-head races against streetcars, the 32-year-old remains undefeated in his quest to highlight how sluggish the trams, used by 230,000 people daily, truly are. Some races have pushed him closer to his limits as a runner. On other occasions, the car has been so slow he's had time to nip into a McDonald's before it reaches the last station. "I don't like winning. I really don't. I really, really wish these streetcars were faster than me," he said. "But …

Two cybersecurity professionals who spent their careers defending organizations against ransomware attacks have pleaded guilty in a Florida federal court to using ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware to extort American businesses throughout 2023. Ryan Goldberg, a 40-year-old incident response manager from Georgia, and Kevin Martin, a 36-year-old ransomware negotiator from Texas, admitted to conspiring to obstruct commerce through extortion. Between April and December 2023, Goldberg, Martin, and a third unnamed co-conspirator deployed the ransomware against multiple U.S. victims and agreed to pay ALPHV BlackCat's operators a 20% cut of any ransoms received. They successfully extracted approximately $1.…

The global airline industry is on track to post an all-time profit high of nearly $40 billion in 2025, according to trade group IATA, surpassing the pre-pandemic 2019 figure of $26 billion, but carriers are still managing a net margin of just 4% -- roughly $7.90 per passenger. Economist adds: Not everything has been in the ascent. European and North American airlines, which account for three-fifths of the industry's net profits, have had to contend with circuitous long-haul routes to avoid Russian airspace since the start of the war in Ukraine. This year parts of the Middle East became no-go zones after Israel's strike on Iran in June. America's airlines were hit by a government shutdown th…

A study by a Singapore government agency has found that children exposed to high levels of screen time before age two showed brain development changes linked to slower decision-making and higher anxiety in adolescence, adding to concerns about early digital exposure. From a report: The study was conducted by a team within the country's Agency for Science, Technology and Research and the National University of Singapore, and published in The Lancet's eBioMedicine open access journal. It tracked 168 children for more than a decade, and conducted brain scans on them at three time points. Heavier screen exposure among very young children was associated with "accelerated maturation of brain netw…

An anonymous reader shares a report: The French government on Dec 30 postponed a ban on plastic throwaway cups by four years to 2030 because of difficulties finding alternatives. The ban was meant to start on Jan 1. But the Ministry for Ecological Transition said the "technical feasibility of eliminating plastic from cups" following a review in 2025 justified pushing back the deadline. It said in an official decree that a new review would be carried out in 2028 of "progress made in replacing single-use plastic cups." It added that the ban would now start Jan 1, 2030, when companies would have 12 months to get rid of their stock. France has gradually rolled out bans on single-use plastic pro…

In my last blog post (A testing conundrum), I described

trying to test my Hasher class which hashes nested data. I couldn’t get

Hypothesis to generate usable data for my test. I wanted to assert that two

equal data items would hash equally, but Hypothesis was finding pairs like

[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the

hash takes the types into account.In the blog post I said,If I had a schema for the data I would be comparing, I could use it to

In Why your mock doesn’t work I explained this rule of

mocking:Mock where the object is used, not where it’s

defined.That blog post explained why that rule was important: often a mock doesn’t

work at all if you do it wrong. But in some cases, the mock will work even if

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later. Why?Let’s say you have code like this:# user.py def get_user_settings() -> str: with open(Path("~/settings.json").expanduser()) as f: return json.load(f) def add_two_settings() -> int: settings = get_user_settings() return settings["opt1"] + settings["opt2"] You write a simple test:def test_add_two_settings(): # NOTE: need to create ~/settings.json for this to work…

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

We are in an AI Bubble: the big question is if this bubble will worth it for the physical infrastructure and coordinated innovation that result?

Last night was a Boston Python project night where I

had a good conversation with a few people that was mostly guided by questions

from a nice guy named Mark.How to write nice code in researchMark works in research and made the classic observation that research code is

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …

the second draws lines 2 through 41, and so on until the 100th frame is lines

100 through 140:I’ve used a single Hilbert sorter for all of the frames to remove some

jumping, but the Hobby curves still hop around. Also the animation doesn’t loop

smoothly, so there’s a giant jump from frame 100 back to frame 1.Natural cubicsHobby curves look nic…

Sora is going viral, suggesting there is a big opportunity in unlocking creativity. If that's true, that's good for humanity — and bad for Meta.

I saw a generative art piece I liked and wanted to learn how it was made.

Starting with the artist’s Kotlin code, I dug into three new algorithms, hacked

together some Python code, experimented with alternatives, and learned a lot.

Now I can explain it to you.It all started with this post by

aBe on Mastodon:

I love how these lines separate and reunite. And the fact that I can express this idea in 3 or 4 lines of code.For me they’re lives represented by closed paths that end where they started, spending part of the journey together, separating while we go in different directions and maybe reconnecting again in the future.#CreativeCoding #algorithmicart #proceduralArt #OPENRNDR #Kotlin — aBe …

I see new learners asking about “DSA” a lot. Data Structures and Algorithms

are of course important: considered broadly, they are the two ingredients that

make up all programs. But in my opinion, “DSA” as an abstract field of study

is over-emphasized.I understand why people focus on DSA: it’s a concrete thing to learn about,

there are web sites devoted to testing you on it, and most importantly, because

job interviews often involve DSA coding questions.Before I get to other opinions, let me make clear that anything you can do to

help you get a job is a good thing to do. If grinding

leetcode will land you a position, then do it.But I hope companies hiring entry-level engineers aren’t asking …

Анонс еще одного продукта, на этот раз для работы

Это приложение для голосовалок по картинкам (или видосам). Бывает, что нужно показать несколько вариантов и провести, так сказать, юикс ресерч. Знаю, как это решаю сам: почта, телеграм, эмодзи под сообщениями в чате. Собирать гуглдок не будешь, а без него агрегировать результаты — пытка. Я сделал сервис.

Что можно: Закинуть несколько картинок или видео в голосовалку.

Дать людям проголосовать и через некоторое время посмотреть результаты.

Есть плагин для фигмы, чтобы загружать картинки прямиком из фигмы.

Если хотите, можно не публиковать голосовалку ленту, доступ будет только по прямой ссылке.

Apple's iPhone announcement was impressive, but no one was impressed, because Apple is increasingly peripheral to what is changing the world.

На первый взгляд специлизированные тулы выглядят перспективно, они удобнее, лучше учитывают задачи конкретно вас. Возьмем тот же Фигма Мейк, болт, лавабл, реплит.

Как арендовать страну, позвонить президенту, сделать пиратское радио и захватить собственный остров

Будучи ребёнком, я на эти курьёзы особенно не обращал внимания. Мама регулярно готовила бигос, но почему-то никогда так его не называла. Мы точно никогда не жили, как польская семья. До меня донеслось лишь эхо семейной истории, в которой там кто-то куда-то ехал, был сослан, работал много... Всё это было два или три поколения назад, я особо не разбирался, где-то в тайге кто-то жил, потом перестал жить, истории предков никогда не занимали моё воображение так, как будоражили его, скажем, романы Герберта Уэллса.

European fintech showed resilience in 2025, recording increased investment levels compared to 2024, powered by the rise of technologies like stablecoins, embedded finance and AI.

2025 also witnessed plenty of fintech M&A activity, while excitement is growing around potential fintech IPOs in the years ahead.

Andrew Crocombe, head of embedded banking, ClearBank, said embedded finance will represent a big opportunity for businesses in 2026.

He said: "In 2026, people will be the true AI advantage in financial services, not models or tools.

Hristo Borisov, co-founder and CEO, Payhawk, said that amid the rise in AI, “autonomous finance” will occur only in certain areas.

After a particularly spirited online conversation about whether tech media should still be covering funding rounds, I found myself reflecting on what we actually do — day in, day out — at Tech.eu.

When I do workshops about talking to the media, I often talk about the story behind the news.

Beyond funding, there’s a broader story of the people building tech, backing innovation, and questioning what comes next.

As 2025 draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the features you may have missed this year — the ones that go beyond the headline numbers and into the substance of Europe’s tech moment.

European agritech demonstrated measured resilience and strategic maturity amid a still-cautious investment climate.

Rather than broad, hype-driven expansion, the sector showed clear signs of consolidation, technical depth, and stronger alignment with real on-farm and food-system needs.

More attention went to areas tied to efficiency and sustainability, using fewer inputs, improving animal and crop performance, and strengthening resilience to climate and cost pressures.

Indoor and controlled-environment growing continued to develop, but with a stronger focus on energy use, automation, and making the economics work.

The following are the ten largest funding rounds in the European agritech ind…
