The article explores the intricate process of translating the classic real-time strategy game StarCraft: Brood War into Korean, highlighting the unique challenges and cultural considerations involved in localizing a beloved gaming franchise for a specific market.

The article discusses a new GUI tool for editing Mermaid class diagrams, which allows users to create and modify class diagrams visually without having to write code. The tool provides a user-friendly interface and features like real-time diagram previewing, making it easier for non-technical users to work with Mermaid diagrams.

The article investigates a suspicious RJ45 dongle that was found to contain hidden hardware capable of network monitoring and potential data exfiltration, highlighting the importance of scrutinizing hardware components to ensure the security of computer systems.

I built this educational game to help people identify and understand dark patterns in digital products. It features 10 interactive scenarios based on real-world examples.

The game includes:

• Interactive pattern recognition scenarios • Explanations of psychological principles • Simulated real-world examples with guided feedback

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the educational approach and scenario design.

The article explores how French modernist artists and intellectuals in the early 20th century had a complex and often contradictory relationship with the emerging mass media of their time, simultaneously embracing and rejecting its influence on art and culture.

The article discusses the Biden administration's efforts to lower drug prices, including allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies and capping insulin costs.

The article discusses a branchless approach to UTF-8 encoding, which involves a series of bitwise operations to efficiently convert characters to their UTF-8 representations without using conditional branching. The author presents a simple and performant implementation of this technique, highlighting its benefits for certain use cases.

Hi! I've been working on the flipjump project, a programming language with 1 opcode: flip (invert) a bit, then jump (unconditionally). So a bit-flip followed by more bit-flips. It's effectively a bunch of NOT gates. This language, as poor as it sounds, is RICH.

Today I completed my compiler from C to FlipJump. It takes C files, and compiles them into flipjump. I finished testing it all today, and it works! My key interest in this project is to stretch what we know of computing and to prove that anything can be done even with minimal power.

I appreciate you reading my announcement, and be happy to answer questions.
