just now (413+ words) Roger Federer is retired, but he's not done with tennis. In an interview with Tages-Anzeiger he'opened'the door to a return to the court, not on the ATP Tour, but in a series of exhibition matches with Rafael Nadal. The idea has been floating around for a while. Last month Tony Godsick, CEO of Team8 and Federer's agent for many years, said a joint exhibition tour with Federer and Nadal was realistic. Now Federer himself has confirmed he likes the idea and sees potential in it. "It would be great if that could be done," he said. He explained an exhibition format would give them more freedom than the tour ever did: "If we played exhibitions after our careers, we would have more time and wouldn't have to rush to the next competition. I could imagine combining all of that with a good…...

just now (194+ words) Pyth is a code-golf-oriented esoteric language created by Isaac Grosbaum. It was designed to make writing the shortest possible programs easier " especially for algorithm competitions and problem-solving platforms. The language includes many built-in functions, automatic behaviors, stack-style operations, and syntactic shortcuts. This allows complex logic to be expressed using only a handful of characters. Pyth takes heavy inspiration from Python and functional programming but compresses everything into symbolic shorthand. A Pyth "Hello World" program is: Yes " that's the entire program. Because so many operations are implicit, Pyth solutions often look like mathematical puzzles rather than normal code. Pyth can be executed on: Some environments include symbol reference sheets for quick lookup. For real development: No For code-golf competitions: Yes " highly recommended For exploring symbolic programming and functional math: Yes For writing understandable, maintainable software: No Pyth is a compact, expression-driven…...

1+ min ago (242+ words) Heading into Week 13 of the NFL regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are No. 11 in the league in scoring but only No. 27 in yards on offense. This has caused a great deal of criticism of Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and his inability to scheme this offense to be successful. Smith addressed the media on Thanksgiving and Smith made it clear the coaches are trying to get players in positions to win and how important it is to be playing their best football late in the season. "We try like hell every week to problem-solve that to put our guys in good situations," Smith said. "Sometimes you feel like you have a great call and protection breaks down, the ball gets tipped. Those are things we are constantly working on, and that's the name of the game. You get into these…...

1+ min ago (228+ words) SNUSP is an esoteric programming language created by Ben Olmstead. It belongs to the same family as Befunge and Hexagony " languages where execution moves across a 2D grid instead of line by line. However, SNUSP introduces one unique twist: mirrors. Execution can reflect off symbols, bounce back in different directions, or even create recursive subroutines using directional escape characters. The name "SNUSP" refers to a fictional mental-stimulation device (from Momus's fictional world), matching the language's theme of confusing but intellectually playful execution. Language Type: Esoteric / 2D execution Creator: Ben Olmstead Execution Model: Pointer moves through a character grid Syntax: Directional arrows, mirrors, stack ops Purpose: Puzzle programming and instruction-chaos A SNUSP Hello World program (compressed version): The mirrors control movement back and forth across the string. SNUSP programs often look like circuit diagrams more than code. SNUSP interpreters exist on: Some editors…...

In fact, that private balcony became my favorite thinking spot. It's a small luxury that made a real difference when the room itself felt tight. Little Fino's menu is your productivity sweet spot. And Westlight has enough happening that you can do an early dinner or late lunch there without feeling out of place. What I didn't expect from this workcation is how much The William Vale's design actually helped me work. The local Brooklyn art in each room, the custom designer touches, and the natural light all matter for your brain.
