With programs that regularly run in the 10s of gigabytes, Linus Akesson's 256 byte demo for the Commodore 64 is practically infinitesimal by comparison. Everything you see and hear in this video is created by the tiny program — the glitchy visuals and driving, EMD-style music. Entered into the Oldskool 4k competition at the Revision 2017 demoparty in Germany, it took first place. For a very technical explanation of how the program works, check out Linus' website here.
Formula One has been a harbinger of things to come in the automotive world. Many of the features we find on cars today were first honed on the race track before filtering down to the street. But even when they're driving the future today, F1 teams are still looking ahead at innovations to come. French manufacturer Renault released their concept of what the sport might look like 10 years from now with the RS 2027 Vision concept car. LED position and lap displays, a fully-enclosed cockpit, and clear body panels that allow spectators to see the mechanicals underneath the bodywork are just a few of the ideas Renault sees finding their way into the F1 car of the future.
The names Ferrari and Lamborghini call to mind one thing: Sleek, snarling sports cars capable of speed and handling no other automobiles can match. Shrouding in mystique and legend, the raging bull and prancing stallion have produced some of the most desirable moving works of art the work has ever seen. But a closer look at the history of Lamborghini reveals a foundation in something as opposite to high-performance autos as can be imagined — tractors. Great Big Story looks at how Enzo Ferrari's slight at Ferruccio Lamborghini created one of the most intense rivalries in the automobile industry.

In 1969, Sister Cathy Cesnik disappeared. A beloved teacher at the Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, Maryland, Sister Cathy's body was discovered two months after her disappearance behind a dumpster in a landfill. 25 years later, two women would come forward with testimony that implicated two priests at the Catholic high school and a local gynecologist in the murder. Sexual abuse by the priests and a conspiracy to cover up the crime are what allegedly lead to Sister Cathy's death — they killed to keep her silent. The cold case and the allegations of abuse, murder, and corruption that reach the highest levels of the Church and the Baltimore police are all examined in The Keepers, coming to Netflix May 17, 2017.
The life you live that isn't your life. That perfectly curated social media feed. Squaring the perception with the reality — or trying to make the perception the reality. Eighty-Sixed is a new web series co-written by Cazzie David and director Elisa Kalan, and is a cynical, sharp-edged satirical take on growing up in the age of social media. Cazzie David plays Remi, a neurotic, self-absorbed young adult trudging through the morass of a recent breakup, surrounded by equally self- and socially-obsessed friends. Giving a nod to her father and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cazzie and Elisa have created a show that gives a scathing take on our connected lives and the often bizarre social norms we've constructed.

If you loved LEGOs as a child, you probably had this dream: A set of infinite bricks, in infinite colors, and an infinite space on which to build. This is the dream which Minecraft has been building since 2009. Although it has grown over the years to include more traditionally-oriented gaming modes, the core of the game is Creative Mode. Individuals, creative collectives, and even companies have been formed around the game. Vox looks at how this simple game of building blocks has become both an art and business.
