Rising River Temperatures Threaten Paris's Water-Based Building Cooling Network - Slashdot
Networks of pipes and heat exchangers can transfer excess heat from buildings into nearby bodies of water -- but as the world warms, the cooling potential of some water courses is now diminishing, Wired reports.news.slashdot.org
Gravity Storm – First Mission just landed on Steam today—a 2D run-’n-gun platformer with a gravity-flipping twist.
Think Mega Man with VVVVVV’s inversion gimmick. That’s the DNA here. You run, jump, shoot, and dash like the Blue Bomber, but you also slam gravity on demand—dropping to the ceiling or crashing back down—turning every corridor into a puzzle of timing and positioning.
Story is wafer-thin: you’re Project Gravity Storm, a machine built to manipulate gravity. But nobody comes here for lore.
The real star is the level design—tight, clever, grin-inducing. Five stages, two bosses, and a grab-bag of modes: Story, Time Attack, Score Attack, Custom, and even a Boss Rush. There’s also a built-in art gallery featuring community illustrations.
Visually, it doesn’t chase the NES look. Instead it feels like early 90s DOS shareware—closer to Alien Carnage or Bio Menace, though a bit smoother.
Audio is pure modern chiptune. Not era-perfect, but the drive is there. The sound effects, though—they do have that crunchy DOS vibe, like something you’d have heard through a Sound Blaster 16.
Controls: yes, you can do keyboard, but it gets busy with all the gravity flips, dashes, and supers. The dev openly recommends a gamepad, and both Xbox and PlayStation pads work out of the box. Controls are fully remappable, vibration and screen-shake can be toggled, and there’s an in-game tutorial so you don’t fumble through.
Tech side: Windows-only natively, built in GameMaker. I got it running on Linux just fine via Proton. The footprint is tiny—200 MB install, Intel HD 4000 minimum. Basically anything from the last decade can run it.
This is Jampley Games’ first release. And while reviews haven’t rolled in yet, I’m impressed. Not just with the concept, but with the polish. It even ships with twelve Steam achievements, and the dev has already outlined a roadmap: leaderboards, an enemy bestiary, an epilogue stage, and the soundtrack release.
Price is C$8.99 (US$6.99). And with a free demo available, you don’t even need to take my word for it. But if you want my verdict? This is marvelous. A compact, arcade-forward platformer that delivers where it counts. Highly recommended.

If you are working with shape-outside, then Firefox has a great path editor. I made a quick video to show how it works.

Weirdly, all the federal chaos has finally gotten me to agree with the (now nearly extinct) actual conservatives who thought the federal government was too big.
The amount of damage MAGA is able to do is enormous. At this point, I think things like public health should be inter-state collaborations, not federal. Probably a bunch of other things, too. The US right just can't be trusted to care about citizens, and the Senate and the electoral college will keep giving them disproportionate power until long after I'm in the ground. But blue states can still make good things happen.

I don't believe that intelligence is something, that can be measured.
But I do see some kind of spectrum that goes from reading banned books to using AI to summarize a tweet.
