  7. πŸ”— "Why 'Silksong' Took Seven Years to Make"

    Silksong took 7 years to make and comes out in just two weeks! There were a lot of rumors about it in the past: People talking about the game being discarded, never coming out, the team going silent and not posting any updates... turns out, they were just having a great time!

  8. πŸ”— "How I accidentally became PureGym's unofficial Apple Wallet developer"

    Vadim Drobinin, frustrated with his gym app, reverse engineers the API and makes it Apple Wallet compatible to save a whooping 3.2h each year when going into the gym. This post is why I love being a programmer - finding an issue, working around it, making things work. Beautiful.

  9. πŸ”— "I'm never going back to Matrix"

    A good post about Matrix and where it comes short - messaging, surprisingly. There's a reason folks use Signal over the decentralized Matrix chat protocol and service.

  10. πŸ”— "Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade website no-crawl directives"

  12. πŸ”— RE: "Google Cloud Incident"

    Google Cloud Platform suffered an outage on the 12th of June, caused by a null pointer exception in a central component. As always, the post-mortem / incident report by Google is detailed, blameless, and open which is very nice to see - I like reading through them and learning from their takeaways.

  17. πŸ”— RE: "A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data"

    I asked Gemma 3 running locally about "vegetative electron microscopy" and it gave me a super long answer explaining what it is - only that it is nothing but an error in AI data.
