Slop Kart - Official Trailer, rendered from the game's own code

Slop Kart is our free browser kart racer, and this is its trailer: 55 seconds, cut like an anime opening. How it was made None of the racing footage is a screen recording.

Git SHA-256 migration: what the Git 3 proposal actually changes

Git's proposed SHA-256 default has prompted a fight over how much migration work stronger hashing should require. On October 1, GitHub and GitButler co-founder Scott Chacon called the plan a "costly mistake". For developers, the immediate question is whether a new repository format will work through the tools they already depend on. TL;DR Git's official proposal changes the default for new repositories, requires ecosystem readiness and gives no release date. SHA-1 support remains.
