Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

Programming Isn't Math, It's Linguistics.

Compilers and Humans have the same problem. We're all terrible at understanding each other.

It’s been a year since Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, and you know what we’ve realised?

Over a quarter of you can’t be trusted to not pick a fight with a djinni, and a surprising amount of you enjoy bear sex and tentacles.

Who’d have thought?
