I did Recursion, Upgrade and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and they were all really fun easy reads. Highly recommended.


I liked Recursion and Dark Matter a lot, but the last two pages of Upgrade really left it on a poor note for me.


There are now cart dumpers that can copy and store multiple Switch games on an SD card. If the same form factor is used its likely these will still work for original Switch games.


I would be unsurprised if the cartridge has the same form factor but has internal differences for Switch2-only games. If they want to try to lock Switch2 cartridges down more, there's plenty of ways to do that while maintaining a similar enough form factor for Switch1 compatibility.


NDS and 3DS cartridges had a similar form factor but operated by a completely different protocol. I expect Switch 2 to do something like that, given that piracy-enabling cartridge emulators for the Switch 1 currently exist.


I suspect the cartridge will be similar but have a notch on it that prevents it being inserted into a Switch console.

This is how Game Boy Color, DSi and 3DS systems handled being able to accept games from older models worked.


I run a WP focused agency and can say that apart from the absolutely shitty sales tactics WPEngine are a solid choice for probably 90% of the sites out there.

The criticism outlined by Matt in this article is related to their lack of engagement with the open source community around WordPress and their unwillingness to significantly contributing to the project.

I seriously had no idea they only contributed a tiny amount (40 hours per week) and I know of other (larger) agencies like mine who do more than this so I hope WPE pull their finger out and implement a better strategy to give back.


Very annoyed by this change. I had been checking daily on pre-order availability.

I'm still tempted because they seem to offer a HoloISO download that is pre-configured to work on the device.


Reminded me of this great American Dad episode: https://americandad.fandom.com/wiki/Meter_Made


Excellent episode! One of my favorite scenes is Stans first day, when he meets the guy who trains him:

> My wife can barely look me in the face.

> Mine looks me in the face and more because she knows I'm on these mean streets every day juggling power and justice like they were damn chain saws.

Best moment:

(after eating a whole pepper) "Did you invent this pepper?"

(pepper inventor) "..yes"

(man in excruciating pain) "..why?"


I use and love Loom. I am not happy about this. Their acquisition of Trello was very painful and our company stopped using it because of this.

What alternatives to Loom Pro/Team would people recommend?


Very low bloat. And if you use mainly Google cloud based Apps you can get pretty much everything done.

The only problem is the lack of a 'premium' model that isn't cheap plastic.


...Define bloat.

Because if you say thAt a Beyond Linux From Scratch built system with a package manager integrated is bloated, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact there is a certain minimum footprint symbol table wise to provide a complete interface to the hardware for the user. Which can also be had literally ad-free, no web telemetry, no one else's encryption keys involved.

Anything using a cloud suite like Google or Azure, I assure you, is fundamentally not unbloated.


I love this. Super old school sci-fi-tech madness. Reminded me of an Outer Limits TV show episode.

It's also very similar to what happens in the movie Predestination.
