Looks like a nice way to improve handling of merge conflicts. I'll test this one out.

Could XMPP make a come back if the user experience was better?

I didn't know the voting rolls were public record in the US... this is a really bad idea.

If you wonder how the protocol is designed and how the actual implementation works, this is a nice introduction. Clearly it's helped by the size of that program which is fairly small.

Looks like there are people out there to get Tor relays down... and they found a smart networking trick I'd expect to not work anymore.

A bit biased toward stable product teams only. Still, there are good tips which are more widely applicable here. This gives a good idea of the management of a distributed team of remote workers.

Interesting explanation of the different visions and governance behind ActivityPub and ATProto.

Each has a use, they shouldn't be conflated. It makes for poor user experience and accessibility otherwise.

Interesting dimensions to use when classifying syncing solutions and to see which ones will meet your constraints.

This is a good point. systemd is kind of turning into a monoculture, but what are we loosing? Indeed, right now things could be better on deeply embedded systems (I insist on the "deep embedded" here which is often more limited in resources). Unlike the author I think they could be improved and they don't quite apply to a good chunk of recent embedded platforms though.

Good illustration of how the C++ language complexity is out of hands.

A nice subset of HTML to ensure better accessibility and reduced complexity.

A good reminder that I should probably evaluate DuckDB for some of my tooling.

A good example of how much C++ improved in recent years. The problem is that we tend to stick too much to the old constructs we already know.

Like me, you find the Open Source AI Definition weak on the training data information side? You'd be right and there's a reason for it... it's probably hiding quite some open washing for the larger models. This is a good explanation of the motives and consequences.

A quick tour of the available tools to profile Spring Boot applications.

Very nice deep dive into a post-processing shader to create a painted scene effect.

This is a good view of what you're getting into with the "rewrite it in Rust" knee-jerk reaction.

Good explanation on how the agile movement scaled down about design over time in its literature. It's probably its biggest failure. The good thing is that the pendulum is starting to swing in the other direction a bit (that's probably why Beck is now working on a book series on software design).

Time management and timezones are definitely complicated. In a way it's culture colliding with computers and localisation... it can't be simple.
