Apple's First 50 Years Celebrated - Including How Steve Jobs Finally Accepted an 'Open' App Store

Apple's 50th anniversary got celebrated in weird and wild ways. CEO Tim Cook posted a special 30-second video rewinding backwards through the years of Apple's products until it reaches the Apple I. Podcaster Lex Fridman noticed if you play the sound in reverse, "It's the Think Different ad music, pitched up." TechRadar played seven 50-year-old Apple I games on an emulator, including Star Trek, Blackjack, Lunar Lander, and of course, Conway's Game of Life.

Монолит с отчётами на 30 секунд: как я переписал архитектуру и что из этого вышло

Пришёл в проект, там легаси погоняет легаси. Спагетти такие что уже в рот лезут. Отчёты по филиалам открывались 30 секунд.

Я разработал свою первую 3D-игру на Unity: подводный лабиринт в духе PacMan, где игрок управляет субмариной и взаимодействует с разными типами рыб.

Pinball video games have been around for years — I cut my teeth on Space Cadet 3D Pinball, which was pre-loaded on Windows 95. They range from realistic recreations of pinball tables you’ll find at arcades to games that could never exist in real life like 2019’s Demon’s Tilt or older ones like Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS or Pokémon Pinball for the Game Boy Color.

Jupiter's Lightning May Have the Force of Nuclear Weapons

How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's: A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more
