OAuth is nice and taking over the world... but don't weaken the security, follow all the steps and verify the tokens you get handed.

Time and synchronization are complicated in distributed systems. Luckily there are solutions to try to ease the pain. It's not completely avoidable though.

Wanna get started playing with shaders? This is a neat into leading to a blob made of metaballs.

Looks like an old website, still it does a neat job of explaining how the field of knowledge representation evolved. This is nice to see a reference for beginners since I dabbled quite a bit into this years ago and it wasn't very accessible.

I never liked the "it's neutral, it's just a tool". A very naive view in my opinion. New illustration of this with Twitter. Tools are inserted in a socio-technical system, and the sociology side will influence the design enough to make the tool not so neutral. Here clearly all hell broke loose and it became a massive danger to democracy due to the level of misinformation and the type of messages which are advantaged by the changes.

Another testament to the fact that it's probably better to have minimal dependencies on your webpages. This is especially true for documents if you're aiming for longevity. If you're making an actual application the trade-off will be different.

Another open source LLM available out there. This one seems to have interesting properties.

Good list of advices for someone who just got started programming. Who knows, it might come in handy later.

Very thorough explanation of an interesting NAS setup. There are a few interesting tools I didn't know about in there.

The spectre attack still has real world effects... This affects Safari this time.

Beautiful text. She talks with fondness about her grandfather, but there's indeed lessons about craftsmanship here. It's not only about machines, it can't extend into a humanist world view.

A longer account of a seminar showing the amount of people and arguments against chat control. The EU commission is pretty isolated in this madness.

This is a very worrying development in Europe. This feels a lot like a dream come true for police states... Let's not go there.

Indeed, going for scrutiny on made up numbers probably won't get us nowhere. Tweaking them won't help either. It's the shared goals which matter most.

An important read in my opinion. This whole manifesto from Andreesen is just ludicrous and this explains very well why. In any case we need more techno-pragmatists and less techno-optimists.

Interesting exploration of the performance for web resources when they're bundled or not. Also dabbles in the reasons behind the exhibited performances, definitely to keep in mind.

Looks like a nice new solution to host and serve global maps.

Nice to see Amazon Lumberyard getting a new life. It's really feature packed.

A very needed tool unfortunately. This is fascinating research as well. The world is really so cyberpunk now.

A database we take for granted... but if you look in the margins it's full of history and very well crafted.
