Random job in my mailbox, asks for 7 years "experience" of "GitHub Copilot and agentic Mode". GitHub Copilot, a thing released in 2021.

Watch time I hear @reckless.bsky.social say the words “digital god”. My brain substitute them with “torment nexus”. I don’t really know how to feel about the above really.

It is a good thing that SteamWorks by default remove PDB files from your game builds. It is rare to see a Unity game made by an indie that *does not* contain the `_DoNotShip` folder in it.

It's leaking helium too, and it's not going to the moon in march, most likely.

Very good quality software, thank you Meta

The recording of my Vulkanised 2026 talk is now live 🎥 In this talk, I walk through the journey of bringing a Vulkan RT pipeline into Godot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HddS... Thanks to LunarG for the opportunity and to the @godotengine.org community for the reviews and feedback.

The full Vulkan specification in its latest version with all extensions is a small 6884 pages, as a PDF (most of it is the description of data structures and function calls, but the first few chapters actually are explanatory)

I have downloaded the demo of Kittens Space Agency. Need to spend a little bit of time with this, but as far as a "spiritual successor to KSP", I think they're really getting somewhere here. Loading the solar system (apparently the whole thing) destroyed my 3080 10GB I got in 2020

The first point is underestimated by the ppl in the other two. Software isn't treating AI hypothetically anymore. It's moving on to frameworks and paradigms. It could possibly affect development the same way Stack Overflow did.

Somebody talented steal this idea : design a micro ATX chassis as a wedge with a modern mechanical keyboard on it like this please please please

This is a modern retro-looking flash. It works stupidly well design-wise on this 1960’s rangefinder camera!

Artemis 2 got delayed because the SLS rocket is leaking hydrogen. So, exactly like Artemis 1...

Stuff nobody needs to know: apparently an acidic solution of ammonium thiosulfate (black and white photographic fixer) is enough to damage the coating on an iPad Air screen. Not too bad. You will see the traces when the screen is off… Avoid splashing this stuff on it. Print those data sheets.

I do not know why Valve chose to provide a list of Vulkan extension as space separated strings, while all other libraries out there give you the size of an array for you to allocate to get it filled with const char*s

New prompt in the steam beta client (I guess) Though, I figure if a person has explicitly enabled this view filter in the past, they are not part of "most user" 🤔

Apple Podcast automatic transcription and chapter detections trying to understand what Do By Friday is about is hilarious

ChatGPT was doing fairly well at attempting to reconstruct a STL file form Gcode, analysing the extrusion commands to build cylinders, then fitting voxels inside.... But then it decided that it needed to check that 1+1 = 2

Gotta love stumbling on a project that... Only builds in Visual Studio 2017, with some specific version of Qt 5

I must say, I have not received a reply. I am disappointed in Waterman France, and in Rubbermaid brands, the “conglomerate” that apparently owns them. There’s thankfully plenty of choices for warm brown inks.

Fellow hackers and technologists of the world, you want to watch this: youtu.be/3C1Gnxhfok0?...

If you manufacture *anything* that may live in my kitchen, and if a feature could be acheived by a *knob* Do NOT make it touch capacitive buttons!!

The fact that Outlook for Windows needs to display this banner is really a sign that Outlook for Windows is very very well integrated with the other small Microsoft product called... "Windows" ...

What a non-confusing headline CD PROJEKT and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński acquires GOG from CD PROJEKT www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/cd-p... via @gamingonlinux.com

Never looked into it but there's no great and simple API just poll the CPU temperature on Linux. Instead the most sensible thing seems to be libsensors, and you have to pretty much "know" what chip (driver name) you should look at.

Happy holidays, internet!

Honestly im shocked Well Not that shocked

The problem with Apple’s “it just works” technology is that sometimes the only thing you can do is plug stuff to power and let it think for a while. No progress bars. No logs. You just need devices to attempt to say hello to each other for long enough…

Hey look! A new trailer for Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked for Meta Quest with passthrough, by @liv.tv productions! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJZf...

Shot two more rolls. I have points to add: - light balance at around 3100K - No reciprocity failure at least up to 4 seconds of exposure - needs more testing - Dmax is comparable to pushed ektachrome +2 stop. Still perfectly acceptable for a slide projector - low saturation of reds (more on this👇)

Hard drives haven't gone cheaper over the last 5 years, kinda interesting...

Maybe I am a old fart C++ guy at this point but... Rust developers, due to the fact that you have "cargo", you make, and use, way too many libraries. They take way too much time and disk space to compile from source every time somebody setup your project. Feels like npm and js sometimes...

Going to spend a few drops of it to ask Waterman France why did this happen and also to encourage them to reintroduce this product on the market. Mostly for the bit. But I would be surprised if they don’t respond! (Yes, this bottle is about 10 years old - so it’s not the newer blue label)

To my great astonishment and horror, I learn that Waterman has seemingly discontinued Waterman Absolute Brown (formerly Havana Brown) ink? Not that there's no other choices for brown fountain pen ink, but I just have less than half of a bottle of the stuff and wanted a new one...!

Le pinard... Santé à la République!

Maybe I am not putting the right words in AliExpress, but it seems nobody in china is making small little touchpads one could plug into an arduino or something. Am I wrong?

Thanks to Valve, 2026 may well be the year of the Linux desktop…!

I totally did not pay attention to this in the last decade, but France 100% stopped emitting *any* AM radio stations. In my region if one was to try to tune in to anything with an antique radio, you could get (with difficulty especially during the day) only stuff from the UK, Spain....

RenderDoc v1.41 is now available! It adds threaded support for shader debugging, enabling debugging of shaders that use subgroup/wave operations and simulating all threads in a compute group. Full release notes: github.com/baldurk/rend... Binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

I promised film scans, here there are: This is no alternative to Ektachrome. Kodak might be unintentionally making a pretty acceptable 50 ISO tungsten balanced "lower" contrast and saturation slide film (with some amount of magenta/green shift) Again, it's a negative film for ｐｌａｎｅｓ

E-6 Cross processed Kodak Aerocolor IV (REFLX Pro 100 in this case. It's same film as SantaColor 100 and Elektra 100. Probably other rebrand exist) Rating it EI 50 (so, box speed +1EV), 85B warming + Skylight 1A filters. This looks too good to be a hack, like WTF? Will do real scans later...

Searching stuff inside the scan of a old paper from 1922. The OCR that was used on the PDF read the greek letter gamma (γ) as a 7. Which is slightly annoying when this is a paper about sensitometry. (Interestingly they use a geometric method of obtaining the gamma, not the analytical one)

Please @discord.com do not force on users your halloween sound pack. This is extremely annoying to opt out of.

iOS 26.1 Beta is suprisingly buggy at least on an iPhone 14 Pro. Camera app often opens to a black screen

Old manual mechanical typewriters in "okay" shape (not fully broken but need some love) are a dime a dozen sure... But if you are French, and want to find something with a QWERTY keyboard, and that types in Elite fount not Pica (12 characters to the inch, rather than the usual 10) seems impossible
