Friday marked the final class of our video game development program at the college. Technically, the program disappeared from the website in 2024, but the final cohort quietly finished this past Friday so it felt like the right moment to write this. From January 2011 to March 2015 (and to a lesser degree until July 2018), I was responsible for the faculty and operations behind our video game programs. During that time I learned a lot abou..

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..

Is SOT666 Really Standard? Spoiler: Not Really I’ve been investigating some quality assurance failures on my ESP32 rainbow boards and tracked a few issues down to a USBLC6 ESD protection IC in a SOT666 package. Under the microscope, it looked like the footprint didn’t quite match the package — like it had missed alignment and hadn’t soldered on properly. I fixed the immediate problem by reflowing the solder and pushing the device into p....

Building a Heart Rate Monitor with an ESP32-C3 and MAX30102 You know how it is. You buy one cute little module from AliExpress and then think “it looks lonely, I’ll get another”. Before you know it, you’ve got a drawer full of cute little modules. So it’s time to put one of them to work. The ESP32-C3 Board I’ve got a bunch of these tiny ESP32-C3 boards kicking around. Let’s take a look at one under the microscope. The brains of the op....

What Not to Pack - joshtronic.com - 2 months ago - eng
I like to travel intentionally light. I also like to make sure I bring enough of the right gadgets. Economical clothing and toiletry decisions aside, I tend to overpack technical items as well as downtime gadgets. Sadly, I have to remind myself that I'm not a toddler that needs all his toys. I'm also not the type of person that needs constant stimulation or screen time. Overpacking tech for me is partly preparing for a worst case scenar....

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.

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..
