It's hard to argue that the Rust type system isn't superior to the C++ type system... it's definitely nice how it actively prevents data races at compile time.
Definitely this, the software bloat directly impacts the attack surface of what gets shipped. Even though this is far from a panacea in terms of security, it's time for people to critically examine their dependencies also for other reasons.
As always from Kent Beck, an excellent set of advices to improve you programming skills.
Looks like a nice tool for quick data exploration straight from the command line.
Definitely true. This is a good way to share your feeds with friends or to setup a blogroll.
This is an interesting VirtualBox fork for Linux. Using KVM as backend should bring interesting benefits.
Things don't look great in this giant... it's astonishing how much eroding vision and transparency can hurt an organization.
Indeed, not all security issues are due to memory related problems. It's 20% of the security issues. This is of course massive, but there's still 80% of the security issues coming from wrong authentication, appliances and so on.
Good ideas and questions to interview candidates. I don't think I would use everything though. Also I think some of what's proposed here would work for candidates at any level of experience.
It's here to sell something. That said it does a good job explaining the Erlang model and its "let it crash" approach to failures. Also highlights the obvious limitations.
Looks like a really convenient web component to display 3D models on web pages.
Nice index pointing to resources to do many things with Postgres.
Excellent piece about the resurgence of old trends on the web.
Unsurprising trend... this was a market where there was no chance to have a single dominant platform due to the existing studio behemoths. So now we're in the streaming wars, people can't afford to pay for every silos... and they turn to piracy again. Could have been all avoided if we went the "global license" route instead of dumping money on platforms.
Indeed, fads come and go mainly to keep the circus running. You can't have growth with something nicely working and stable, change needs to be brought up to justify selling more.
Indeed, a very underappreciated keyword in SQL. It can do much more than what it's often used for.
A bit opinionated and sarcastic maybe... still it feels right, the web browsers landscape is in a sad state.
A new search engine trying to grow. The approach seems interesting, we'll see where it goes.
The infotainment systems on car are not as locked down as one might think. Another proof of it.
Interesting explanation of the method of differences to easily compute polynomials.
