Where do jets go when they no longer fly? What happens to shipping containers when they arenāt useful anymore for cargo? The answer is invisible to most of us, but for CĆ”ssio Vasconcellos, abandoned trains, planes, and automobiles are far from forgotten.
Photographing and stitching together composites, Vasconcellos condenses details of urban infrastructure like highways and parking lots into sprawling, all-over compositions.

Classic Unreal Tournament and Unreal now easier to download free thanks to OldUnreal
Epic Games announced back at the end of 2022 that they were pulling a whole bunch of classics like Unreal Tournament and Unreal from stores, along with turning off servers, but now it's a bit easier to get them running again.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Looks cool but I've just noticed a worrying trend.
One of my browser plugins highlights when a game is excluded from the Family Sharing service and this is the 4th I've seen in the last day or so. It used to be the odd AAA release but now it's a bunch of smaller indie games.
As a Dad with 2 kids starting to get into regular gaming the new version of the family sharing on Steam has been wonderful but it will be seriously kneecapped if Devs are seeing it as a bad thing for them

Train finally returns to Counter-Strike 2 in the latest big update
Train! It's back! A fan favourite map returns that was annoyingly missing from the release of Counter-Strike 2. But it's now back and looking better than ever in the latest update to Valve's FPS.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
literally who hurt genomics to make you all encode one specific kind of number as the ASCII characters from ! to ~ as an integer input to some logarithm function, but then others of you changed the function but kept encoding it as a single ASCII character ranging from -5 to 62 (???), and then later they decided that -5 to 62 was silly and so they changed that to 0-62 and throwing away half the original range for no reason, except actually it's 0-40 by convention.
did anyone consider "encoding it as a number"
@grvsmth filesize advantage. Quality as a number would require minimum two characters (single digit plus delimiter) and maximum of 3 characters (two numbers plus delimiter). Fixed width 0 led would still require two characters. ASCII coding makes it one character per quality score. Minimizes cold file sizes.
Now the multiple FASTQ quality ASCII coding specs are an artifact of Illumina choices. Sanger phred scale should have been the standard all along.

GOG harkening back to "Good Old Games".
It's a great way to differentiate themselves on top of "no DRM".
Maybe someday someone will be able to get some lawyer to find the paperwork for who owns "No One Lives Forever" so it can be updated and preserved.
None of my current laptops even have a CD-ROM drive to read my disks and the hacks to get them running still leave them at an ancient, tiny resolution.
GOG are doubling down on game preservation, and making it easier to see which games run well on modern PCs
GOG have announced the GOG Preservation Program, restoring and relaunching over 100 classic games to run smoothly on modern hardware.James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
