This is a nice ruling about GPL violation in France. Gives some more weight to the GPL.
Going back on the history of the introduction of version control in software engineering and how Git ended up so dominant. We often forget there was a time before Git.
A bit of a high level view on technical debt. There's a couple of interesting insights though. In particular the lack of good metrics to evaluate technical debt... and the fact that it's probably about "both the present state and the possible state" of the code base. So it's very much linked to the human cognition in order to conceive the "ideal state".
Nice set of tricks (might also involve Javascript, not only CSS) when you need to format web content for printing.
This is one of the main problems with using those generative models as currently provided. It's time for the legislators to step up, we can't let a couple of players hoard energy and water for themselves.
This is a good explanation of why you should limit your use of mocks. It also highlights some of the alternatives.
This is great news, more scientific papers from the past decades will be accessible to everyone.
We're collectively still failing at handling leap days properly it seems.
Looks like enough people complained that they had to change course. Good, until the next bad move...
A few points to take with a pinch of salt, especially regarding the proposed solutions. Still it makes a very good point that most transformation failures toward agile organizations are due to lack of trust and the swapping of one bureaucracy for another.
Good summary of all the "fake agile" practice one can see. Without enough trust it's not possible to put in place an agile organization.
The HDMI Forum is really an annoying body to say the least... they lack so much transparency.
A nice little review of our latest major releases. Looks like it's well accepted so far. Very glad!
To take with a pinch of salt since it has a couple of biases (most notably it focuses a lot on satisfaction) and the sample size is a bit small. A few interesting insights nonetheless. In particular it hints at autonomy, transparency, technical skills and vision as being the most important factors for satisfaction and success within teams. The applied project management method? Not so important it seems if the other factors are satisfied.
All good reasons to use Firefox! I'm always about the market share of engines where we need diversity, but more good points are brought up here. It's the only going the extra mile to respect your privacy while bringing innovative features too (tested the in browser translation recently and it's great).
Looks like a nice way to properly learn the web frontend basics.
Might be an interesting trick to reduce the computation and energy costs of large language models. Let's see if it gets replicated and generalized, this is a single short paper not peer reviewed anywhere as far as I can tell.
Interesting exploration of what could be done in a 3D engine using plane-based geometric algebra (PGA). This brings in nice properties that matrices don't have. And the performance impact is apparently not as bad as one could have suspected. I definitely look more into it.
Ever wondered how look-up tables are used for graphics? This is a good summary. Shows quite a few use cases which can come in handy.
Interesting take even though I'm not sure I buy it completely. This is an interesting pledge for aiming at power efficiency and squeezing performance out of software.
