Attached the copy of a mail developers with apps in the PlayStore CURRENTLY receive. Please, read the text in the red box carefully:

"Apps not registered by September 2026 WILL NO LONGER BE INSTALLABLE ON CERTIFIED ANDROID DEVICES in select countries."

- page_title: Nintendo's Empire of Secrets with Keza MacDonald
- page_description: The video game industry is in a state of chaos. Layoffs, buyouts, studio closures, mergers—the entire industry seems plagued. Except for Nintendo. The Japanese video game giant is over one hundred years old, and since they dominated the home console market in the 80s, they’ve been generally unwavering in their success, and all without succumbing to the pitfalls of other game companies. But they’re also tremendously secretive, operating with very little behind-the-scenes publicity and deploying their massively innovative games with relatively little lead-up. This week, Adam talks games with Keza MacDonald, a video game editor at The Guardian. Her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play, takes a look behind Nintendo’s curtain of secrecy to show how this company has been able to innovate and surprise for so long. Find Keza's book at factuallypod.com/books

Are Datapath Circuit Transformations ≈\approx≈ Compiler Optimisations? During a visit to Cornell, Sam presented a bunch of hardware optimisations to fuse arithmetic operators. Being from a compiler background, Nate asked whether we could view these as more traditional compiler transformations.
TLDR: Yes, you can, but it gets pretty ugly…
In this blog, we’re going to show how we answered this question for a specific example, namely discovering carry-save addition (a hardware optimisation) via loop fusion (a compiler optimisation).

One of the goals of this publication is to deconstruct the traditional ways of teaching basic topics in relational databases. Previously we discussed the fourth normal form (4NF): “Historically, 4NF explanations are needlessly confusing”.
Let’s discuss the ultimate beast: fifth normal form (5NF).  Often it’s
presented even more confusingly than 4NF is, and we can show that this
presentation is unnecessary, and the confusion is completely
artificial.

- page_title: Write string.h functions using string instructions in asm x86-64 - Exploring the arcane of processors
- page_description: Introduction The C standard library offers a bunch of functions (whose declarations can be found in the string.h header) to manage NULL-terminated strings and arrays. These are some of the most used C functions, often implemented as builtin by the C compiler, as they are crucial to the speed of programs.
On the other hand, the x86 architecture contains “string instructions”, aimed at implementing operations on strings at the hardware level. Moreover, the x86 architecture was incrementally enhanced with SIMD instructions over the years, allowing for the processing of multiple bytes of data in a single instruction.

## C++26: Structured Bindings in Conditions

- page_title: C++26: Structured bindings in conditions | Sandor Dargo's Blog
- page_description: Structured bindings were introduced in C++17 as an alternative way of declaring variables. They allow you to decompose an object into a set of named variables, where the collection of those bindings conceptually represents the original object as a whole. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 // https://godbolt.org/z/97GaMajMP #include <cassert> #include <string> struct MyStruct { int num; std::string text; bool operator==(const MyStruct&) const noexcept = default; }; MyStruct foo() { return {42, "let's go"}; } int main() { const auto& [n, t] = foo(); MyStruct ms{n, t}; assert(ms == foo()); return 0; } Structured bindings before C++26 Up to C++23, structured bindings could appear in: simple declarations (as shown above), and range-based for loops. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 // https://godbolt.org/z/Tf8s4sdrf #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> struct MyStruct { int num; std::string text; }; int main() { std::vector<MyStruct> v{ {42, "hello"}, {51, "there"} }; for(const auto&[num, text] : v) { std::cout << "num: " << num << ", text: " << text << '\n'; } return 0; } /* num: 42, text: hello num: 51, text: there */ However, you could not use structured binding declarations in conditions (for example, in if or while statements). What’s new in C++26? C++26 brings some signigicant improvements to structured bindings: Individual bindings can be annotated with attributes Structured bindings can be declared constexpr Structured bindings can introduce a parameter pack And of course, there is the topic of this article: Structured binding declarations are now allowed directly in conditions. This change comes from P0963R3 Structured bindings in conditions As of C++26, the following becomes valid: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 // https://godbolt.org/z/bP58h9153 #include <iostream> #include <optional> #include <string> struct Result { bool is_successful; std::optional<std::string> error_message; explicit operator bool() const noexcept { return is_successful; } }; Result foo(int i) { if (i % 2 == 0) { return {true}; } else { return {false, "that didn't work!"}; } } int main() { for (int n : {1, 2}) { if (const auto& [is_successful, error_message] = foo(n)) { std::cout << "no error\n"; } else { std::cout << "there was an error: " << error_message.value_or("") << '\n'; } } return 0; } /* there was an error: that didn't work! no error */ What’s going on here? The initializer (foo(n)) is evaluated first. The condition is then evaluated by invoking operator bool() on the initialized object. The structured binding is introduced, and the bindings are available in both the if and the else branches. This mirrors the existing rules for init-statements in if, but now extended to structured bindings as well. A key requirement is that the decomposed object must be contextually convertible to bool. Without an operator bool, the condition would be ill-formed. Why is this useful? This addition significantly improves expressiveness and readability. It is especially helpful when: a function returns a status together with additional data, a result may or may not be present along with diagnostic information (for example, std::expected-like types), an operation naturally produces multiple logically related values. The motivation section of the paper contains several realistic examples illustrating these use cases. Evaluation order and decomposition One subtle but important design decision concerns when decomposition happens. The chosen semantics are: 1) Initialize the object. 2) Evaluate the condition (via contextual conversion to bool). 3) Introduce and initialize the structured bindings. This sequencing ensures that condition checking is well-defined and consistent with existing language rules, while still allowing the bindings to be used in both branches. Conclusion Structured bindings in conditions may look like a small syntax sugar, but they let us write much more expressive conditional logic. By allowing decomposition and condition checking to live side by side, C++26 reduces boilerplate, improves locality, and better supports modern result types that bundle status and data together. This is a pragmatic, well-integrated evolution of a feature that has already proven its value since C++17.

The MacBook Neo is just $599, and with PC makers raising prices because of global RAM shortages, the Neo&#039;s low price tag and Apple allure are even more appealing. MacBook Neo orders placed today on the online Apple Store won&#039;t reach customers until May, which means that it&#039;s sold out for the month of April, as 9to5Mac points out.

- page_title: The Universal Constraint Engine: Emergent Neuromorphic Architectures from Declarative Constraint Rules
- page_description: We introduce the Universal Constraint Engine (UCE), a system for generating emergent multi-state architectures from declarative constraint rules over conserved quantities. Unlike conventional neural network architectures that rely on learned weights, gradient descent, and massive training corpora, UCE derives computational behaviors -- including memory, logic, hysteresis, and oscillation -- directly from symbolic constraints without any training phase. The system comprises four layers: a Rule Definition Layer, a Constraint Solver Layer, an Emergent Behavior Engine, and an Embodiment Mapper for translating symbolic architectures into hardware implementations spanning FPGA, neuromorphic, spintronic, and quantum substrates. Worked examples demonstrate that minimal rule sets produce non-trivial emergent behaviors analogous to SR latches, biological oscillators, and write-gated memory cells. Patent pending: U.S. Provisional Application No. 64/036,854.

- page_title: Long-term adaptation pathways for Venice and its lagoon under sea-level rise | Scientific Reports
- page_description: The substantial risks posed to Venice and its lagoon by ongoing and projected sea-level rise (SLR) require unprecedented long-term adaptation strategies. We map the evolution of development pathways and the progressive shrinking of the solution space as SLR advances, identifying adaptation tipping points and analysing the relative pros and cons of alternative measures. The analysis highlights trade-offs among environmental quality, heritage preservation, social well-being and relevant Sustainable Development Goals, and costs increasing with SLR. With present insufficient greenhouse gas mitigation policies, the current open lagoon strategy, with mobile barriers and multiple accommodation measures, is likely to encounter hard limits within the current century. Follow-up strategies include ring-dikes isolating the city from the rest of the lagoon, or a closed lagoon with permanent coastal dams, each preserving different combinations of values while entailing major ecological and socio-cultural transitions. Under extreme SLR, relocation of monuments to suitable inland areas and abandonment would be the only remaining strategy, which might become unavoidable in the 22nd century under current climate policies and an Antarctic ice-sheet collapse. Rapid mitigation could still avoid the most disruptive long-term outcomes.
