Citus 12.0 released!
Schema-based sharding for PostgreSQL
Citus 12 adds a new and easy way to scale your Postgres database—schema-based sharding. Unlike row-based sharding, where tables are distributed based on the value in the distribution column, schema-based sharding transparently shards your database by schema name.

Rewriting wipEout
The source code for the classic PSX launch title wipEout was leaked in 2022. A few month ago I finally sat down to take a look at it. The result is a (nearly) complete rewrite that compiles to Windows, Linux, macOS and WASM.
Thanks to WASM and WebGL you can play wipEout right in your browser!

Both offer more features than my rewrite. If you're on Windows and you just want to enjoy the game, these are the better option.
However, neither the Phantom Edition nor XProger's version come with the source code. Understandably so. The legality of re-distributing the leaked source is questionable at best.
