Interesting musing about the concept of friction in strategy. There are indeed a few lessons to learn from it in the context of software projects.

Sure you can expect mice, but raccoons? This is a funny finding... well scary if you're responsible of this machine room.

Looks like Flutter's days are counted. It seems it has peeked and announcements like this are likely to move people away from it. Time will tell of course.

An alternative to the venerable sudo coming with systemd. Looks like it has interesting properties.

Bytecodes everywhere! Really it's a very widespread trick, I didn't expect some of those.

Looks like an interesting tool for infrastructure automation. It's all Python based which is an interesting departure from yaml files in that space. Could be a nice alternative to Ansible. I might take it out for a spin.

Definitely this. Get the content you like known, send appreciation messages to the authors. This should keep the moribund web alive.

Very cool BSDF. Should lead to better diffraction rendering in real-time 3D.

Time to leave Lex and Yacc behind? This is definitely a nice approach to make parsers nowadays.

Indeed there are more and more signs of the Apple vendor lock-in to be in trouble. And that's a good thing.

Good demonstration of what you can do with WebGL nowadays.

Ever wondered why the quality of websites seems to go down? Well, here is a case study of what you end up needing to do if you try to fund a website through ads (like most websites).

Probably shouldn't do this in most case... but if it's really needed and you can bare the pain, Java has solutions for you. This is an interesting dive in lower parts of the APIs.

Another great resource for nice models and textures for your 3D needs.

Interesting ideas for terminal emulators and shells. Maybe will make their way in other software.

Maybe a bit dry, but gives a good idea of how a fuzz testing harness works. And also how it can be tweaked.

There are differences between attributes on the HTML side and properties on the DOM side. This can quickly get confusing, here is a good reference for it.

Interesting facts about how the ethernet frame MTU came to be 1500 bytes.

I guess we kind of suspected it, this studies tends to prove it. Defects are more easily found in the first files of a code review rather than in the last ones.

Interesting musings indeed. That's lesser heard opinions about the manifesto and its origins. Good food for thought.
