I definitely like the approach of having vectorisation in the RDBMS directly. This is one less moving part, less complexity at the application level to synchronize everything together. In this case it's a Postgres extension.
This is an amazing example of the brain plasticity. It's also great to have a patch for increased quality of life with a training of only a few weeks.
It's sometimes extremely difficult to get to the original source of a scientific claim. Our corpus of science is so large and complex now that finding where a claim comes from can be a daunting task.
This is definitely getting there in terms of performance and usability. The mobile clients seem mature enough, just need the desktop clients to catch up before this becomes really something I'd feel confident enough to recommend and push for.
Yet another Git option I missed. This is definitely useful, I'll try it out.
Nice initiative from the OSI. It is timely, such a definition was surely needed. The data information part seems fairly weak though... for sure you could make a system which doesn't respect the four freedoms that way.
Interesting, there's now an official tool to replicate sqlite databases. It's still early days, we'll see which features it'll get.
Another excellent piece from Kent Beck, he's right that the real differentiator in our profession is about digging deep on topics, seeing them through even if that's on the side. Curiosity is a key trait.
A very precious philosopher from the 20th century. Her texts are still very precious and resonate today. In this piece it's focusing about tech relevant excerpts, she had plenty to say about today's politics as well.
This is definitely true. As long as web frontends are dominated by large frameworks, the web will always have subpar experience on mobile. And the solution isn't going to come from the mobile providers too happy to gatekeep their app store.
Definitely an interesting tool. GitHub Actions workflow aren't easy to setup while ensuring they're secure, having a tool analyzing them for issues can only help.
It's nice to see the standard still moves. Some of the additions are definitely welcome.
Interesting progress on safe type casting in Rust. This should bring nice zero copy parsing of binary data in some cases.
Indeed, those are fundamental traits to make sure you learn and make progress on your journey.
Ever wondered how to simulate 3D from 2D based primitives? Here is a nice experiment explaining how to approach it.
Looks like a very interesting Python library to build interactive 3d visualizations.
This is accurate in my opinion. Engineering and product teams need to properly negotiate, otherwise quality will suffer.
Nice technique for automating the verification of SSH host keys. It'd be nice to see wider adoption.
A nice list of the techniques used to render shadows in games.
Interesting guidelines idea to help teams manage the priorities themselves. It's written in the context of a product manager but I think it is lightweight and generic enough to apply in other contexts.
