🎉 Ah, the classic quest of squeezing Klondike Solitaire into 5k of C code for curses—because who needs readability when you can cram #entertainment into a gloriously unreadable mess? 🤪 Oscar Toledo G. embarks on the noble endeavor to make sure your eyes 👀 bleed, all in the name of prestigious #IOCCC bafflement since 1984! 🏆

Klondike Solitaire for curses in 5k of C language

How I developed a Klondike Solitaire game for curses in C language as an entry for the IOCCC.

It's on: JagJam, the gamejam for the Atari Jaguar, started today. If you'd like to code a game for one of the most unique systems of the 90s that initially awed id Software's John Carmack, provoked Sega to rush their 32X to market and even got Sony briefly taking notice while they were finishing their Playstation, this is your chance! 😎 Thanks to Songbird Productions and @ctrlaltrees for being part of this year's JagJam again. And don't worry if you don't have that much time: JagJam runs until the end of October, so you've got six months to go. Looking forward to your entries! 🥳 Please spread the word if this whole thing is something you'd like to see getting more attention. Cheers!

An open-weights Chinese model just beat Claude, GPT-5.5, and Gemini in a programming challenge - ThinkPol

By Rohana Rezel I’m running the ongoing AI Coding Contest where I pit major language models against each other in real-time programming tasks with objective scoring. Day 12 was the Word Gem Puzzle. Ten models entered. The results were not what most people would have predicted. Kimi K2.6, an open-weights model from Chinese startup Moonshot

You Can Use Same Variable Name TWICE?!

🔥 NO WAY! Destructuring allows DUPLICATE variable names in the same statement! const {a, a} = obj is VALID JavaScript! Last one silently wins. ESLint doesn't catch this by default. Tag a dev who needs to see this!
