@picotrek @exQUIZitely I had to invert my inverted brain because all games' default would be wrong

@exQUIZitely Huge fan!!!! A pleasure to see this post and revive memories. In my desktop very old pc it's the one game i still have !!

The evolution of gaming: Every once in a while, especially in the 80s and 90s, a game would be released that truly innovated a genre. It would introduce something that no other game had ever done before.

That's exactly what Descent did in 1995. It was the very first game with six degrees of freedom movement within a 3D graphics environment, allowing flight in any direction: forward/backward, left/right (slide/strafe), up/down, and full 360° rotation, creating a rather disorienting experience at first. It was easy to get lost and maybe even feel a bit of motion sickness.

Descent blew everyone's mind in 1995, and rightfully so. A whole new dimension of gaming was born, a leap in the evolution of how such kind of games could be played going forward.

A special mention also goes to the impeccable soundtrack, which perfectly fit the vibe when you were gliding through the tunnels and blasting your way through enemy ships.

BREAKING: After Trump releases his stupid video games, I decided to create a game myself.

You play an investigative reporter infiltrating Mar-a-Lago to find the Epstein files. Collect corroborating evidence, avoid guards and cameras, photograph JD’s vault code, trigger Petey Hegs’ push-up distraction, recover the missing Epstein dossier, and escape to the press van.

Directions:
- WASD/arrows: Move
- Shift: Sprint
- E: Collect evidence or interact
- H: Hide or emerge
- Escape: Pause

Mission order:
- Collect at least four glowing evidence folders.
- Approach JD and press E for the vault code.
- Approach Petey and press E to begin the distraction.
- Reach the vault before the timer expires.
- Press E to collect the files.
-Return to the press van and press E.

Chinese researchers published a paper with a devastating title: "The End of Software Engineering”

it argues software engineering is finished.

In traditional software, code is the carrier of pre-written human logic.

In agentic software, the AI agent is the software.

Code is no longer a permanent monument built by human hands. It is completely ephemeral, dynamically generated, executed, and discarded on the fly by an LLM-driven reasoning loop.

Think about how software delivery has evolved:

• Era 1: On-premise licensed software (you installed it locally)
• Era 2: SaaS (hosted in the cloud, managed by vendors)
• Era 3: Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS)

Each historical shift transferred complexity away from the user. But this latest shift transfers something entirely different.

It transfers decision-making complexity itself.

The paper argues that traditional engineering is hitting a hard complexity wall. Human brains can only hold so much state, manage so many dependencies, and debug so many lines at once.

LLM-based agents scale non-linearly.

They don't just write functions faster. They navigate architectural complexity by outsourcing reasoning to models that improve every single month.

Which means the role of the developer is permanently changing.

You are no longer a code author typing syntax line by line.

You are an intent architect.

Your job is no longer writing the implementation. It is specifying goals, designing multi-agent coordination loops, and auditing outcomes.

This man’s testimony before Ohio’s legislature on what is taking place with data center development, its industry outlook and ultimate impact to communities is over target 🎯

Brilliant idea to compel multi-year state bonding of projects to payroll if industry downsizes to not leave communities cleaning up the blight.

@heynavtoor Security unwise. There are several electron processes by design of security. I'd say.

@femalepencil Yeah Murica had Blackberrys to make txt free. But overall in Europe Union is everthing free in comms.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Este sistema da Volta é uma palhaçada. Hoje fui jantar num shopping em que me foi imputado 20 cêntimos pelo consumo de 2 bebidas, ao pedir a devolução do depósito foi-me dito que não aceitariam as latas de volta e que teria de devolver no sistema da volta. Fui devolver e tenho agora 20 cêntimos para gastar numa rede de supermercados que nem faço compras...

Isto é uma palhaçada completa obrigando as pessoas a levar lixo com elas para meter nas máquinas em volta de uns cêntimos.

Uma palhaçada completa do @govpt que nem sequer pensou nas consequências deste tipo de sistema para os comerciantes e para os consumidores.
