Interesting review, this seems mostly aligned with my own experience. That said I got less mileage since I use it mostly when walking around places I don't know well.
There's still some work to secure the Python supply chain. It's clearly suffering from fragmentation and ambiguous data.
Lots of progress, they're finally delivering on past announcements at FOSDEM it seems. Let's hope the spec effort catches up though.
Interesting, the situation for kernel maintainers is actually harder than I thought. You'd expect more of them could do the maintainer job on work time...
This is a funny spammer deterrent. I like the idea.
This is definitely a big release! Lots of changes and improvements in this language.
What are the hardware improvements good for if then it's all locked down through software? This is wasted.
Sure they're pulling some effort on the way their hardware is produced and cheap. But don't be fooled by the grand claims, this can't be carbon neutral.
Lots of possibilities in the JVM to monkey-patch some behavior. Most of them are a bit involved though.
Everything you wanted to know about SQL joins, and more.
Keep the downsides in mind. Rust has an ecological niche, but it's not that big.
Nice to see this effort keeps bearing fruits. This is a very needed engine to avoid a monoculture.
This is definitely a big deal for the Java type system and its ergonomics.
Unsurprisingly after people massively converged to two main closed source engines for their games, they start to be massively screwed over. Maybe it's time for them to finally turn to Free Software alternatives?
Interesting free font. Made for aeronautics, but brings interesting properties which might be useful in other contexts as well. Created around Toulouse and my old University too!
A bit of a rambling, there's something interesting in it though. Splitting small functions early will do more harm than good if they're not reused. Don't assume they automatically make things easier to read.
OK, this is a very bleak view... maybe a bit over the top I'm unsure. There seems to be some truth to it though.
Lays out the ethical problems with the current trend of AI system very well. They're definitely not neutral tools and currently suffer from major issues.
Good reasoning, multi-page applications should be the default choice for web frontends architecture. The single page applications come at a cost.
A good reminder that depending what happens in the kernel, the I/O time you were expecting might turn out to be purely CPU time.
