Where did southern Australia’s record-breaking heatwave come from?
...This is shaping up as the worst heatwave since the Black Summer of 2019-20. The intense heat that summer contributed to catastrophic bushfires which burnt 21% of the continent’s forests, an area still considered globally unprecedented.
Independent analysis found the last heatwave between January 5 to 10 was made over five times more likely by global heating. This current heatwave is substantially worse, but we’ll have to wait for attribution studies to understand how much global heating has contributed to its overall severity....
Where did southern Australia’s record-breaking heatwave come from?
Australia’s northwest is well known for its heat. But this furnace-like area can deliver heatwaves to the southeast, thousands of kilometres away.The Conversation

sometimes when i feel my code has too many confusing states, i like to stop, take a deep breath, and open the MSDN page for the MsoTrioState enum.
MsoTrioState is "a tri-state Boolean value". it has five possible values. only two of them are supported.
the only supported values are true and false.

UK lawsuit against Valve given the go-ahead, Steam owner facing up to £656 million in damages
Valve, creator of Steam, now face legal action in the UK as a lawsuit has been given the go-ahead that could result in up to £656 million in damages.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Valve being a consumer darling and pushing hard against Microsoft's PC gaming monopoly doesn't mean they can't do wrong.
I don't know enough to have an opinion in this case, but I hope it will be ruled in favor of the law.
AI pull requests are making people feel crazy.
Summary: An AI bot called "Claude" posts "pull requests" (suggestions to fix and improve open source projects) on GitHub. Users are also submitting AI generated pulls and it's wasting the time of the people who need to check and approve or reject these "improvements."
In the world of GitHub doing 'pull requests' gives devs a bit of status, but AI has upended this system and destroyed trust and annoyed many people.

Most striking in this video was the plea that people "get to know the project and the people" --
Open issues, known bugs, feature requests... it's like some people think that you could just run AI and close them all and the development would be done. But software development is a conversation: something people do together, code is just the medium.
It's like saying "I have solved birthdays since birthday bot will give everyone a cupcake and card automatically."
No you ruined birthdays.
