Playdate Season 2 review: Taria & Como and Black Hole Havoc

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-09 11:00:42

We've officially made it to the end of Playdate Season Two, and what a season it's been. Despite having half the number of titles as Season One, this latest round of weekly game releases has made a much stronger impression (on me, at least). If nothing else, it's just been cool to experience the new games in real time with other Playdate owners all at once, which the staggered rollout of the console didn't really allow for with the first season.

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-09 05:46:01

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to get human workers to fix the technology's screwups. As the BBC reports, there's now something of a cottage industry for writers and coders who specialize in fixing AI's mistakes — and those who are good at it are using the opportunity to rake in cash.

Apple Didn’t Approve, but Amazon Is Clearing Out AirPods Pro 2 at a Record Low for Prime Day

How the Binding of Two Brain Molecules Creates Memories That Last a Lifetime

wired.com Ajdina Halilovic 2026-02-09 05:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two seats instead of one,” he said, recalling the lingering traces of her presence in the house. “There was this missing person—never spoken of—for which I had only one memory.” That memory, faint but enduring, was set in the downstairs den of their home.

It’s a sad weekend over at Bluesky, where one of the best accounts has disappeared — although we can still hope for its resurrection. Known as The Louvre of Bluesky, the account in question struck fear into the hearts of bad posters everywhere. While it posted commentary and jokes of its own, its most brutally funny and haunting work came in the form of screenshots capturing rogue Bluesky posts in all their unhinged glory.
