Interesting little tricks to create music and sound variations to guide the user.
Once more, an excellent piece from Cory Doctorow. Allowing DRM encumbered devices could only lead to the mess we're seeing nowadays.
Good news for the Godot Engine. Let's see where this goes in the coming years.
Very needed evangelization. Go forth and make apps for Linux!
Nice trick to get the pressure off the team while it looks for a proper solution.
Looks like a nice tool for exploring network issues. I'll take it for a spin when I get the chance.
Nice list of advices in the second section. It makes a good point in some of the dynamics women might have to face in public conferences.
You got a career ladder in place? Well, that's just a first step, how do you make sure the expectations are clear to people? How do you follow through? This article helps with those questions.
Interesting attempt at having webhooks implementation a bit more standardized. This is indeed needed, currently everyone does them in slightly different ways and sometimes the quality is debatable. If it gets adopted it'd give a good baseline.
An interesting interpretation of what was behind the "move fast and break things" motto which is nowadays blindly followed by some. A bit of a long piece but does the job and propose a more complete view and an alternative approach.
The fact that they felt the need to write such a letter is troubling. What's going on in the Python Software Foundation really? Something needs to be fixed it seems.
Definitely this. Again TDD helps to work on the design, but it's not a silver bullet which will give you the right design on a platter.
Very interesting study, shows how toxic comments impact contributions. Gives a good idea of the probability for people to leave. In the case of Wikipedia this highlights reasons which contribute to the lack of diversity in the contributors. This is a complex community issue in general, this studies does a good thing by shedding some light on the dynamics in the case of Wikipedia.
Interesting move, I'm wondering how far this will go. Reuse of those functions in other Wikimedia project will be critical to its success.
The Large Language Model arm race is still going strong. Models are still mostly hidden behind APIs of course, and this is likely consuming lots of energy to run. Results seem interesting though, even though I suspect they're over inflating the "safety" built in all this. Also be careful of the demo videos, they've been reported as heavily edited and misleading...
If you can't download it without DRMs you just don't own it, you're renting it. This is completely different.
Fascinating vulnerability. When the BIOS is at fault with a crappy image parser... you can't do much to prevent problems from happening.
Let's hope it won't get there... I wish people would abandon Chrome en masse. I unfortunately don't see it happening and it'll just weaken the Web.
Definitely one of the worrying aspects of reducing human labor needs for analyzing texts. Surveillance is on the brink of being increased thanks to it.
Nice ideas for decision making in larger groups.
