It is difficult to capture crystal clear photos of tiny objects, because macro lenses tend to have very low f-stop numbers (large aperture openings) and that results in shallow depth of field (the range in which details are acceptably in focus). The solution is focus stacking and that requires that you capture many photos with only the point of focus changing. Alan of MandicReally achieved that by building this robot.

Many IEEE members who collect historical engineering artifacts often offer them to the IEEE History and Heritage group, which includes the IEEE History Center, to display. To bring these artifacts to the public, the group created the IEEE Global Museum, which curates traveling exhibits for display at conferences and in libraries, universities, and other venues. The program educates people about how technological progress has unfolded over generations, and how engineers and researchers build on past achievements to benefit humanity.

[BillPg] has been designing a fantasy 1980s-era home computer. As part of the exercise, he's reevaluating all the assumptions that have grown organically over time in the small computer landscape.

A number of problems related to negative directory entries (dentries) were the topic of a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. Negative dentries are used to indicate that a file of a given name does not exist in a directory; it is an optimization that short-circuits the lookup of the file name when the answer is already known. Miklos Szeredi led a session that discussed some problems that come from having too many negative dentries for a directory.

Optical media is great — it's pretty high density, relatively durable, and decently long-lasting if well cared for.
