Sony PlayStation Will Stop Releasing Games On Discs In 2028

Longtime Slashdot reader AmiMoJo shares a report from the BBC: New PlayStation games will no longer be released on discs from January 2028, the gaming giant has announced. Sony said in a blog post new games would still be able to be bought in shops, but they would come with a digital code.

Вот именно такой вопрос был задан в первом же комментарии к статье "DI-контейнер на чистом JavaScript без TypeScript и reflect-metadata" уважаемого @alexander_kubarski. Я когда-то и сам на Хабре отвечал на этот вопрос ("Зачем нужно внедрение зависимостей в JS"), и уважаемый @Wroud тоже ("Dependency Injection в JavaScript: зачем он вам нужен"), но непонимание места и значения DI у JS-разработчиков всё равно присутствует.

Поймали ИИ-агента на вранье — его же памятью

На днях наш агент собрался дежурно отчитаться об успехе. Прежде чем нажать «готово», он сверился с собственной памятью — и нашёл там запись из прошлой сессии: эту идею он уже проверял на реальных данных, и она провалилась.

Weka, for one, believes... Read more
