Web Design Museum’s 'Video Game Websites in the early 00s' is an archival gallery of game publisher and developer sites from around 2000–2003. Hosted within the Web Design History section, it lists dozens of sites and games by year (The Sims, Diablo II, StarCraft, Counter-Strike, Pokémon, World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Unreal, Half-Life, Zelda, and more), illustrating early-2000s design trends. The page links to other eras of web design (Flash, CSS, 90s galleries) and invites tips about old sites.

ccrider is a Go-based CLI/TUI tool that lets you import, browse, search, and resume Claude Code sessions locally. It provides a terminal UI (TUI) for browsing, full-text search (SQLite FTS5), and one‑keystroke resume of a session. It supports incremental sync of ongoing sessions and a built‑in MCP server to let Claude query your history without leaving your machine. Install via Homebrew or build from source; config lives in ~/.config/ccrider; commands include ccrider tui, ccrider search, ccrider resume, and ccrider sync.

Doom-coding is a DIY guide to coding on a smartphone from anywhere using a 24/7 computer, a Claude Pro subscription, and mobile tools. It pairs Tailscale VPN, Claude Code, and Termius to SSH into a desktop from a phone. Setup: harden the computer (disable sleep, enable remote login, install Tailscale and Claude Code) and configure the phone (Tailscale, Termius, host). Connect and code by running Claude Code over SSH. Troubleshooting covers VPN and machine state. It invites updates and tool comparisons.

The Stack Fallacy is the belief that it’s easy to build the layer above yours. Firms like database vendors assume SaaS apps are “just a database app,” or a VM company can do big data. History shows big players struggle to move up the stack even as they dominate lower layers (Apple chips but not Maps; Oracle buying PeopleSoft/Siebel; IBM and ERP). The fallacy stems from human bias—overvaluing familiar tech and underestimating customer needs. It’s often easier to innovate downward; knowing what to build (product management) matters most.

stash is a CLI tool that bidirectionally syncs Markdown files with Apple Notes. It uses front-matter to map each Markdown file to an Apple Note, enabling push (create/update in Apple Notes) and pull (sync back to Markdown). Built with AppleScript for note access, Pandoc for Markdown/HTML, and Bashly for CLI; runs on macOS with Apple Notes. Install via Homebrew: brew tap shakedlokits/stash; brew install shakedlokits/stash/stash. GPL-3.0.

The article describes building a bespoke data diode for air-gapped networks using two Raspberry Pi devices linked via an optocoupler to transmit syslog and performance data without breaching the air gap. A 'send' Pi on the isolated network and a 'receive' Pi on the monitoring network exchange data through a one-way link, prioritizing reliability over throughput. They first considered standard serial, then used UART for a simpler, more reliable one-way path. The solution is tailored to client needs and balances security with operational visibility.

Supersonic 2.0 is gaining momentum from three startups. Boom Supersonic is demystifying noise with Mach 1.7 cruise (XB-1 proof; Overture engine Symphony) and targeting airline customers at roughly $5k NYC–London, with FAA cert in coming years. Astro Mechanica is reinventing the engine as turboelectric adaptive, using LNG for cheaper, cleaner fuel and pursuing defense contracts first before a consumer network with Uber-like on-demand flights via smaller airports. Hermeus is chasing Mach 5 with the Chimera engine (turbojet plus ramjet), rapid Quarterhorse tests, and a long-term Halcyon 20-seat jet. Together they push aviation toward affordable supersonic travel in the 2030s.

jax-js is a pure-JS, browser-run ML library inspired by JAX, generating WebGPU/wasm kernels to run near-native speed in the browser. It offers a JAX-like API (numpy, grad, jit, vmap), an IR frontend, and a backend that compiles to GPU kernels. It requires no dependencies, can use WebGPU via init and setDevice, and supports ML workflows from autograd to JIT fusion, including training MNIST in-browser and CLIP-based embeddings. Early performance is decent (≈3 TFLOP/s matmul on M4 Pro; 485 GFLOP/s end-to-end CLIP demo); room for optimization. Open-source: ekzhang/jax-js.

New analysis by the High Pay Centre finds that the average FTSE 100 chief executive pay (excluding pensions) is £4.40m, about 113 times the average full-time worker's £39,039 and would be earned in under three days of 2026. For 2024-25, CEO pay rose 6.8% to a record £4.58m. The report highlights a widening gap and calls for governance reform, including worker representation on boards and higher taxes on excessive pay.

Tom's Hardware reports Raspberry Pi prices have hit parity with Intel N100‑based mini PCs as DRAM costs soar. Jeff Geerling’s comparison (confirmed by Tom’s) shows a Raspberry Pi 5 kit with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD at about $246.95, nearly the same as a GMKTec mini PC at $246.99 (January 2026). The rise follows rising memory costs and tariff uncertainty, squeezing homelabs and nudging hobbyists toward performance‑vs‑power tradeoffs or repurposing older hardware. RAM shortages are expected to persist for years.

Box64 v0.4.0 released: Steam runs on ARM64, RiSC-V, and Loongarch Linux; Battle.net is stabilizing and some games work. Highlights include a redesigned prefix opcode decoder across the interpreter and three dynarecs, fewer source files, and memory-usage optimizations. Dynarec gains on ARM64 and RiSC-V; Loongarch gains Steam, Wine, and Proton (requires 4K-page kernel; NTSync in some setups). ESync/FSync can speed games but may cause issues; use PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1/NO_FSYNC or disable in Steam. Box64 is ready to use.

VW’s New Year’s resolution is to bring back physical buttons in its interiors. The refreshed ID. Polo introduces a cockpit with numerous physical controls—steering-wheel button clusters for cruise and media, and a row of climate switches on the dash— signaling a return to switchgear after widespread digital controls. Some climate functions remain on the touchscreen. VW has already begun this shift with Golf and Tiguan in the US; it’s unclear which other models will get the redesign, and it may be limited to EVs like the ID.4 (and possibly the ID.Buzz).

Burke Holland argues Opus 4.5 can replace developers, showcasing four AI-built projects: a Windows image converter, a screen/video editor, an AI-powered Facebook posting tool using Firebase, and an order-tracking app. He praises Opus 4.5 for getting things right on the first try, handling backend and deployment via CLI tools, and writing code optimized for AI regeneration. He shares an AI-first coding prompt and principles, notes human review is limited to readability, and warns to protect API keys while urging teams to build in an AI-first world.
