Generalized saturation game
We study the following game version of the generalized graph Turán problem. For two fixed graphs F and H, two players, Max and Mini, alternately claim unclaimed edges of the complete graph Kn such that the graph G of the claimed edges must remain F-free throughout the game. The game ends when no further edges can be claimed, i.e. when G becomes F-saturated. The H-score of the game is the number of copies of H in G. Max aims to maximize the H-score, while Mini wants to minimize it. The H-score …

Fort Bragg back and forth has consequences for some local businesses
Ralph Rodriguez can be forgiven for feeling like a pawn. He chose to name his pawn and gun store after Fort Liberty, and is having to spend thousands to rebrand after the Army changed the installation back to Fort Bragg.

Thermal Annealing and Radiation Effects on Structural and Electrical Properties of NbN/GaN Superconductor/Semiconductor Junctions
In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, niobium nitride (NbN) superconductors have emerged as integral components due to their unique structural properties, including a high superconducting transition temperature (Tc), exceptional electrical conductivity, and compatibility with advanced device architectures. This study investigates the impact of high-temperature annealing and high-dose gamma irradiation on the structural and superconducting properties of NbN films grown on GaN via r…

What Needs Attention? Prioritizing Drivers of Developers' Trust and Adoption of Generative AI
Generative AI (genAI) tools are advertised as productivity aids. Yet, issues related to miscalibrated trust and usage friction continue to hinder their adoption. Additionally, AI can be exclusionary, failing to support diverse users adequately, further exacerbating these concerns. One such aspect of diversity is cognitive diversity -- variations in users' cognitive styles -- that leads to divergence in interaction styles. When an individual's cognitive styles are unsupported, it creates additio…

Player the #oblivionremastered version yesterday for a few hours. It brought back soo many great memories of how I setup a room with my brother all those years ago with a Xbox and a beamer to play the game for many hours.
Everything looked so amazing back then and the remaster does well at transporting a similar feeling. Though the game world is sometimes a bit bare when one looks …

Been playing Pistol Whip again. Such a great game. The Black Magic "hard" level, with Reckless and Hell options is ridiculously hard. Finishing at all is a feat.
Was wondering how the hell the top players managed to score so highly. I was in like 4th place thinking I was playing a practically perfect game.
But it turns out only with 188 hits. The top three, I noticed, has 189 hits! There's a secret dude!?
Found him, flying around in the sky mid level on the right.
Nice. That's me 3rd in the global leaderboard for Black Magic Hard Reckless Hell now then.
Maybe I shouldn't be giving the game away. If someone learns of the secret dude from this post and then beats me into 4th place I'll be miffed.

Following up on the post about old #Windows installations, we have this one about floppy disks. Or as some people know them, the "Save" icon.
…

Obsolete, but not gone: The people who won't give up floppy disks
The last floppy disk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them?
