A smattering of semi-shortish reads for you!
- Stack Overflow is almost dead - this seems.. impossible? The article details the timeline of big events that led to this decline - including GenAI (obviously) and being sold to private investors (less obvious but possibly more impactful, imo). Wild.
- What's the carbon footprint of using ChatGPT? - a bit of good news for you. The reports of energy usage in this one regard are somewhat overblown it seems.
- Nocturne - remember Spotify's Car Thing? The hardware they made that was clearly doomed from the beginning? Well, they discontinued it and now folks are hacking it back into an open-source, usable, device. Ya love to see it!
- Anime.js - a javascript library for powering animations. The website and the documentation are bonkers. One bullet in a list is doing it a disservice but please click through on this.
