Every team I've been on has a #general channel that goes quiet by 11am. A daily digest bot is the easiest way to give people a reason to glance back at it, and "today's tech headlines" is a low-effort, high-signal thing to post that nobody minds seeing every morning. Here's a complete Slack/Discord bot, built on NewTqnia's free public news API, that you can have running in about 15 minutes. What we're building A small Node script that: Fetches today's tech headlines (AI, robotics, space, health,...
Here is a rule that looks like it blocks OpenAI's crawler: User-agent: * Disallow: /checkout/ Disallow: /customer/ User-agent: GPTBot Crawl-delay: 10 It blocks nothing. GPTBot reads its own group, finds one Crawl-delay line and no Disallow, and crawls everything — including /checkout/ and /customer/. Under RFC 9309, a crawler that matches a specific user-agent group uses only that group. It does not inherit from User-agent: *. Naming a bot anywhere in the file switches off the wildcard rules for...
Wanted a tool anyone could use to build a meal-prep style bowl or plate and get real calorie and macro numbers back, with weight adjustments in ounces or grams depending on what you actually use. If you're a Nawtch user, cool, you can add the finished bowl straight into your foods. But if you just landed on the page because you wanted to test out a few combinations, you don't need to be a Nawtch user at all. You can still save bowls locally and come back later to edit them or build more. It's me...
I read the post, agreed with it, and opened my repo to plan the migration. Then I could not find the loop I was supposed to be replacing. The repo is agentsmyth, a seven-step agent chain I have been building for months. What I found was a fixed sequence with a checkpoint between every step and exactly one edge leaving every node. There was no loop to tear out and no obvious place to put a graph. I spent an evening trying to work out what I had misunderstood, and eventually went back to read the ...
I don't know where to go to make money. I've tried discord, reddit, real jobs, and to be honest I think nobody finds value in real work anymore. I'm 15 years old and I've programmed entire websites for startups, but the second I started embracing programming as the job I want to keep, I started losing money. I went from a decent $300 to $500 a month doing small family friend gigs to now making nothing and getting scammed multiple times every month for projects and unpaid work. Does anybody have ...
When a product team ships video across landing pages, dashboards, and onboarding flows, the difference between a 16:9 hero clip and a 9:16 mobile preview is rarely a creative decision. It is an engineering decision hiding behind a player, a CDN transform, and a CSS rule. If you have ever shipped a video that looked fine in the editor and then watched it arrive at users with hardcoded letterbox bars, black side margins on iPad, or a stretched face on a Chromebook, you already know the real proble...
Hi! The 4th challenge is ready: accessibility testing. For me, it's important to design websites for all people with and without disabilities. The WHO estimates that 1.3 billion people – about 16% of the global population have some significant disability, and this number is increasing. The latest WebAIM data reveal that nearly 96% of the world's top public websites launch with critical accessibility failures. Today, ignoring these bugs is a legal violation. Governments worldwide, reinforced meas...
I let an AI agent run on my Mac mini for two months. It woke up every five minutes, picked one action, did it, wrote the result to a state file, and went back to sleep. After 2,734 ticks, I am publishing the loop itself as a skill. This is the architecture, the bugs, and the math. The original goal: a passive agent that earns while I sleep I wanted to answer a specific question: can an AI agent running on a personal Mac actually make money? Not as a thought experiment — for real, in a wallet I o...
Treat an SMS timeout as an unknown outcome, not a failed send: accept each password-reset event once, persist its expiry and idempotency key before dispatch, and retry only through a worker that can reconcile the original attempt. For a short-lived e-commerce reset token, compliance evidence is the deciding constraint. The system must be able to show what it accepted, what it attempted, when it stopped, and why, without storing the token or message body in an audit log. This changes the shape of...
When I started studying APIs more seriously, I realized there was a problem with the way I was learning. I knew how to create a Rails API. I knew how to write: resources :products I knew what GET, POST, PATCH and DELETE were supposed to do. But I wasn't always able to explain why things worked the way they did. So I decided to go one step back and review the fundamentals: routing, HTTP, REST and how Rails puts all of these things together. This is what I learned. Rails Routing At its simplest, r...

I recently discovered that Pony's still alive. I had discovered Pony a few years ago while browsing tech forums. Its focus on memory safe & lock-free MT was interesting. I kept up with the weekly development for a brief period but then kind of forgot about the language until recently when I rediscovered it when I was chatting about Crystal's MT. I just wanted to share the latest blog post here in case someone else remembers this language. Looks like the development has been progressing steadily....

For good reason, developers often don't let playable characters in video games get too overpowered, lest they make a game too easy to plow through. But Kingdom Hearts 4 seems to be straying from that principle, as Donald Duck was revealed to be a fully playable character in last weekend's extended D23 trailer. In a segment of Kingdom Hearts 4 taking place in the Underworld from Hercules, players will take control of Sora's perennial sidekicks, Donald and Goofy, in platforming and battle sequence...
We're closing in on the 20th anniversary of Peggle, and since then, nothing has come quite as close to matching the pure, joyous sensory overload of Popcap's little peg-clearing masterpiece.

Coming soon to PC, Hyperdrop is the debut game from developer Dark Dark Goose and publisher Devolver Digital is billed as a pachinko roguelite.

Sony is flexing its video game muscle with a new "It Happens On PS5" ad campaign, and the one-minute video features arguably the most anticipated title ever: Grand Theft Auto VI.

For example, the X account DriftRespawn notes that letterboxing has been removed in the new PS5 promo from a clip where Jason Duval ...

After Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, one of the first things people theorized was that the company would have one of Activision's numerous Call of Duty studios work on Halo. That already happened, according to a new report, and though it hasn't led to anything yet, that could change down the road. According to Rebs Gaming, who has accurately reported on unannounced Halo news before, Microsoft enlisted Sledgehammer Games to help develop a Halo multiplayer game. Halo Infinite Sledgehammer...
