Wooting 80HE Review: Pinnacle of Hall Effect Keyboards

wired.com Henri Robbins 2026-02-15 17:00:00

Wooting was one of the first analog keyboard brands to break into the mainstream. When the original Wooting One TKL launched, it was a big deal—optical switch technology was still new to most people, and the idea of a keyboard with hyper-fast, adjustable key actuations was both novel and revolutionary at the time. Later, when it debuted its Lekker Hall effect switch in the Wooting Two, it was one of the first companies to utilize the technology for gaming. Things ramped up in 2020 with the rele

‘Donkey Kong Bananza’ Is the Switch 2 Launch Game You’ve Been Waiting For

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-02-17 20:00:52

Players who bought the Nintendo Switch 2 with the laser focus of playing Nintendo’s exclusive titles may have been disappointed that the sole first-party experience available at launch was Mario Kart World. You won’t have to sit on your hands for much longer—Donkey Kong Bananza, set to release on July 17, might just be the best reason to own a Switch 2 this early in its life cycle. I played around 2.5 hours of the upcoming game starring Nintendo’s raging gorilla, and I couldn’t stop punching at

Donkey Kong Bananza unearths the franchise’s roots and rips them out

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2026-02-18 08:00:00

Several moments of my two-hour hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza felt like I was playing the gritty 2009 action game Red Faction: Guerilla — except this time I was actually playing as a gorilla. For example, I had to level a multistory building during a timed minigame. Just like in Guerilla, I targeted the load-bearing columns with Donkey Kong’s ripped arms to quickly bring it down. Reveling in the destruction made me feel equal parts satisfied and sinister, all while Donkey Kong struck a

Parsing JSON in Forty Lines of Awk

news.ycombinator.com Mohamed Akram 2026-02-21 08:23:48

JSON is not a friendly format to the Unix shell — it’s hierarchical, and cannot be reasonably split on any character (other than the newline, which is not very useful) as that character might be included in a string. There are well-known tools such as jq that let you correctly parse JSON documents in the shell, but all require an additional dependency. Another option is to use Python, which is ubiquitous enough that it can be expected to be installed on virtually every machine, and for new proje
