VisiCalc Spreadsheets rule the world for almost half of a century. I strongly believe that it’s one of the best UXs ever created. Being fairly minimal and easy to learn, it allows users to quickly manipulate data, describe logic, visualise results, or even create art and run GameBoy games. It all started in 1979 when Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston created VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet software. With a few thousand lines of hand-written 65..

Between 2026-03-07 and 2026-03-14 we selected 17 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. One of the most popular titles this week is a sequel of a mobile game, Turbo Dismount 2 - a crazy racing sandbox game. Let’s not forget Timberborn, which came out of Early Access last week, and that we reviewed a little while ago. Here’s the whole list below.

It’s been a few months now since our last update and as you’ve seen from the headline, this is a huge milestone. CachyOS has taken over the 1st spot on ProtonDB for desktop distros, dethroning Arch Linux which was in the first spot, flawlessly since late 2021. This kind of change has never happened before, and CachyOS’s progression is impressive, gaining share month after month without sign of stagnation. We had already seen signs that it w..

What do ant colonies, Wikipedia, and your personal knowledge graph have in common? More than you'd expect. Your notes are a collective intelligence system — and when you compose them as context for AI, they become something far more powerful.

I used to use Firefox as my browser, and the translation feature worked very well, but now that I’ve switched to Helium Browser, unfortunately it doesn’t have the built-in translation feature that Chrome and Firefox have. That’s why I need a translation tool for Russian, Turkish, and Japanese websites. I usually use DeepL, but I’m not very satisfied with its Turkish translations.

A haruspex was a Roman priest who read the future in the entrails of sacrificed animals. This one reads images. Give it a picture and it performs the reading. The image is examined, then pulled apart, corrupted stage by stage into something glitched and barely legible, while a synthesised score runs underneath and a prophecy is typed out a line at a time. What you get back is an augury: a ruined image, a soundtrack, and a few lines of tex..

Python Performance Optimization: Profiling and Tuning Guide

Don’t optimize until you’ve profiled. I’ve watched teams rewrite entire modules that weren’t even the bottleneck. Weeks of work, zero measurable improvement. The code was “cleaner” I guess, but the endpoint was still slow because the actual problem was three database queries hiding inside a template tag. I learned this the hard way on a Django project a couple of years back. We had a view that took 4+ seconds to render. The team was convi..

I’ve written before about how AI agents are just CI pipelines with an LLM plugged in . That post mapped agent concepts to infrastructure patterns you already know. But there’s a discipline forming around the infrastructure side of agents that deserves its own name. Harness engineering. It’s the practice of building everything around the LLM — the execution environment, tool definitions, safety boundaries, observability, and lifecycle man....

Pack products in Packing Life, a capitalist hellscape puzzle sim developed and published by Aroko Game Studio. This native game runs great on PCs running Linux (tested on CachyOS) and Steam Deck, without needing Proton. You can see a video of the gameplay I captured, without commentary (but you can pinpoint the moments of internal screaming and desperation!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxkuj9PDtv8 I went in for the cozy and relaxing at..
