Was there anything Zig Forumsnology related that really excited you?
Look back at this and last year

Ryder James
Talos workstations, for me.
Hunter Johnson
The new iPhone every year 📱
Zachary Sullivan
That girl is an alien.
Luis Sullivan
Anything in medicine, robotics, AI, even some new mathematical models questioning the foundation of the universe thanks to quantum computing.
Plenty plenty developments. The unfortunate issues are the corporate influences driving these developments, to further dominate society as a whole.
Adrian Rivera
You mean the latest poison Big Pharma is peddling.
Intelligence is not artificial, AI is a reverie.
A marketing term.
Kayden Walker
1. New treatments for people with spinal cord injuries to help them walk, poop, pee, and fuck.
2. IBM Power9, especially Talos II systems
3. Software iterations
Cameron Gomez
This.
And another note it would be also interesting to ask
The list is long.
Noah Edwards
The advances and proofs made using the rapidly advancing gravitational wave detector tech. We can mathematically prove that we have 3 spacial dimensions and many more things that I can't even begin to comprehend now, and we can sense disturbances in the gravitational field, all very exciting things in my opinion.
Alexander Rodriguez
Nah, things like same sex breeding, schizophrenia treatment, stem cell development, organic prosthetics, brain imaging, etc.
AI has come a long way, so much so they can draw, play music, do semi automatic surgeries, legal discovery, etc..
And it's fine if you 1) don't comprehend quantum computing, 2) have access to the 5+ QC to test formulas, but you can't deny SHAttered.io wasn't solved by some vulnerability. Collision is collision. You can't fictionalize what already exists:

The first computer I sat down in front of at age 9 or so and learned to use by reading the really nice manuals. Learning to program BASIC Was fun, and text adventures and other simple games (Hunt the Wumpus, etc.) were wondrous.

Talos offering viable x86 alternatives. Intel's 8086K and 9900K being mainstream 5 GHz processors. Cheap Windows Mixed Reality HMDs and Oculus' price cut for the Rift finally getting VR HMD prices down to a mass market compatible point. The beta of Haiku wasn't exciting, but still nice to see.
Cooper Jackson
Yes. Neurosky nekomimi kawaii cat ears from JAPAN.
Colton White
Are you 11 years old?
Daniel Thompson
Not him, but I'm pretty sure that's not a Nintendo Switch.
Matthew Gonzalez
Java 10 is a major update; new var keyword and better type inference. It's such a verbose language and this does help a bit with that (if you can't switch to Kotlin, that is).
Brandon Kelly
I did some work for the project that staffs those observatories (LIGO). The existing laser-interferometers are a few kilometers long: long enough to detect gravitational waves, but not much else. They're planning on building a higher precision interferometer millions of miles long in up in space. The so-called LISA project:

I discovered the (hopefully) soon to be released EOMA68 computer cards. Seems cool and fun, but it appears almost obsolete upon arrival, and difficult to expand due to the small size plus heat issues.
The main issue for me is making sure some good programs have ARM support. I've not yet ventured outside of x86.
Also, their hardware has an open spec and they appear to claim therefore it has security benefits (quote "no backdoors"). Is that realistically verifiable on a hardware level?
Robert Morales
is that due to the small PCMCIA size or something else?

- Crystal (crystal-lang.org
- Decentralized applications gaining momentum. Maybe the next technology board will be federated and the one after P2P.
- Pijul SCM (pijul.org
Jaxon Flores
No, that was in the early 80's. But I still very much like text games and other simple things. Pic is about the most "advanced graphics" type of game I'm interested in. Anymore and it loses the charm.
Angel Jackson
Jackson Nelson
nigchink was made
Bentley Morgan
Cracking various game consoles was exciting to me. I found it more fun than playing any games I could then pirate on it.
Actual tech wise? Nothing. I haven't been excited for tech since my mid 20s. Nothing interests me.
Ian Murphy
lol Crystal is for legacy code now. Nim? Wasn't that like 2016 or some shit? LOL
Elijah White

Brody Long
Yeah the PCMCIA size. To quote a random redditor:
webm source? that guy is impressive
Isaac Ortiz
That's Allen Pucket of the Hell Shaking Street Preachers. He's a former cage fighter.

You know what's also unethical? Not delivering to over a thousand backers. Disrupting one of the most accessible and affordable modern open hardware projects. Asking for more funding when you voluntarily left your job.
He had an ethical dilemma and he took the selfish route.
Austin Perez
tbqh she'd be reasonably fuckable if the FAS hadn't put her eyes too far apart.
Cameron Cox
RISC-V anything. Especially since it has the backing of big companies that may actually make it into a reasonably popular ISA. Then again I doubt we'll see RISC-V CPUs/SoCs in phones or computers any time soon.
