When I was a kid, my mom ran a newsletter out of our house called "The Get Organized! News." She started with it being printed as 4-page newsletters that she would get from a local printer (like a printer company, not just printed at home), and then we would work as a family to fold, label, and stamp them, to then be shipped off at the local post office. This is where I first learned the word: collation. In the early 2000s, she moved to d....

Explore the full range of AI capabilities in IntelliJ IDEA here. When developers hear “AI in the IDE”, the first thing that often comes to mind is a chat window.

Last time we had our regular checkpoint was in June 2026 and you may recall we observed that CachyOS was not only in the 1st spot on ProtonDB for desktop distros, but kept growing further, eating Arch Linux’s own share. So how have things changed since then? Before we take a look at the chart, the usual disclaimer that you love: - This may not be representative of all types of Linux users. I’m sure this is not what your AWS architect uses o..

Baseball’s infield fly rule seems strange at first. It says that when there are runners on first and second with less than two out, and the ball is popped up to the infield, then it’s an automatic out, even if the fielder drops it. Without the infield fly rule, the fielder might let the ball […]

This year is the 60th anniversary of Joseph Weizenbaum’s article “ELIZA—A Computer Program For the Study of Natural Language Communication Between Man and Machine”. ELIZA was a natural language “engine” for running scripts of various conversational personas. The DOCTOR script became the paradigmatic example of a chatbot and ELIZA was re-implemented many times. A team of eight multidisciplinary scholars (“Team ELIZA”) have written an expan....

I have a theory. In 2018, or thereabout, Mark Zuckerberg watched “Ready Player One” — or maybe he actually read the book — and decided to pivot Facebook into the Metaverse. That went tits up, but everyone kind of forgot once AI made its appearance. Then, late in 2025, Donald Trump — a truly horrible, […]

Between 2026-08-01 and 2026-08-08 we selected 8 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. The highlight is Iron Nest, that puts you in the middle of a huge turret capable of firing very large explosives. You get orders, and you need to adjust numerous parameters to hit the target with high accuracy. Very well done and unique in concept. Let’s not fo..

If you've used CakePHP for any length of time, you've probably shipped apps with friendsofcake/bootstrap-ui — the plugin that makes $this->Form->control() output Bootstrap markup without a single hand-written class.

The problem is not the models. The problem is the circus that comes bundled with them. Scratching the itch(es) # In my MeTube fork , I have a gh action (oof) that periodically checks upstream releases, generates a diff and sends it to an LLM for analysis. The model then creates an issue explaining whether I should care about the changes. This is not AGI. It is artificial “please read this diff because I ain’t got time for that....

Between 2026-07-29 and 2026-08-05 there were 138 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 926 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 14.9 % of total released titles. A high percentage, with the spiritual successor of Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria - which has been very well received so far, apparently superior to its inspiration in almost every ..

I have two 128 GB unified-memory machines on my desk. Day job gear, not mine. One is an ASUS Ascent GX10 — an NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell appliance half the size of a hardback book. The other is an HP ZBook Ultra G1a , a 14" mobile workstation running AMD’s Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395 (“Strix Halo”). Both hold an 80B coding model entirely in memory. How do they compare for agentic coding?

Regardless of how you feel about generative AI—love it or hate it—the worst thing you can do with it is use it to write for you. Imagine, for the sake of argument, that there was an LLM entirely free from any ethical, ecological, or economic baggage: it had been trained on public domain text using fusion energy and could run inference on Raspberry Pi-tier hardware. Everyone in the world had access to it, it never hallucinated, and was ful....
