Xtracycle has released the Swoop ASM, a long-tail cargo e-bike priced at $4,500 that uses a Shimano system capable of automatically choosing and executing gear shifts based on cadence, torque, and speed data. The bike also features a mullet wheel setup, with a larger front tire and smaller rear wheel, plus front suspension for a smoother ride.

A GitHub project called HelloAssembly, tied to Dave's Garage YouTube episodes, challenges developers to build the smallest possible uncompressed Windows executable that still runs a full message loop, a working title bar with minimize/maximize/close buttons, a system menu, and centered text. The repo hosts multiple competing versions—an optimized original, a shellcode-style variant, and one with a hand-written PE header—showing how far low-level tricks can shrink a working GUI app.
