Daily Tech News 31 October 2021

Top Story

  • Of the four big projects of the Eternal October, three down, two to go.

    Yes, they added another pilot project at the very last minute, but sanity has prevailed and they're planning to use existing software for that and not try to do the custom launch they originally wanted.

    The one that required jamming six weeks of work into three days is also mostly done, thanks to an earlier outbreak of sanity.

    These posts should return to their earlier form, with the daily anime videos, some time in November, once I've had a chance to go to the bathroom and stuff like that.


  • Key takeaways from the Facebook Papers. (MSN / Washington Post)

    1. Somebody somewhere said something mean.
    2. So the government should have absolute control over all forms of human expression.
    3. If you disagree, you're a Nazi.



Tech News

  • New features in Python 3.10. (Real Python)

    Better errors, case statements, better static typing, and various improvements to the standard library.

    Meanwhile PyPy has updated to Python 3.8. Since I use PyPy - because it's four times faster on average than the standard Python interpreter - that means it will be at least a year before I get to use case statements in production code.


  • The 11 worst features of Windows 11 and how to raise wolves. (Tom's Hardware)

    Option 1: Don't install Windows 11 in the first place.
    Option 2: Start11 from Stardock.

    Start8 was essential with Windows 8. Start10 was nice to have with Windows 10 but you could live without it. Looks like Start11 is back to being essential.

    It's in beta right now, and will be $5 on release.


  • Fuck Razer. (Tom's Hardware)

    At best they're being cynical and manipulative, raking in money from overpaid neurotic cretins. At worst, they actually think they're doing something worthwhile.

    Either way, into the volcano.
