So much this... I'm sick of all those little businesses having only an Instagram or Facebook account or whatever. I wish we'd have proper websites for all of those instead.

A very good talk which walks you through how to move from object-oriented design to data-oriented design. Shows quite well how you must shift your thinking and the difficulties you might encounter with data-oriented designs. I appreciate a lot that it's not just throwing object-oriented design out of the window, indeed you have to pick and choose depending on the problem space. Also it's interesting to see how C++26 reflection might make some of this easier.

Good explanation of where WebAssembly is going and why the current initiatives are important to its success.

Not all CPUs are born equal in term of branch prediction. Interesting little benchmark.

This is an account of how dark things can become when you align your identity with your contributions. Stay healthy, stay safe!

These are good rules. Take inspiration from them.

Nice little quality of life improvements coming to std::span in C++26.

Interesting list and way to frame the problem. It's important to maintain this resource, an update is likely needed.

Let's not forget where we're coming from and why window managers tend to be merged with display server. It removes some complexity and some latency.

Nice algorithm for rendering fonts. Turns out it's not patent encumbered anymore, this is good news.

Interesting read on how the CPython JIT effort has been saved.

Or why this latest trend in genAI hype is a fool's errand.

The commentaries and analysis of those unjust laws continues. The motives behind the people pushing for them are getting clearer and it isn't pretty.

Also, it's likely a pessimistic estimate... Indeed, it's mostly based on a list from Kagi, which likely doesn't list many sites which would qualify.

This is definitely a disturbing result. It indeed makes democracies more fragile, all the more reason to build more democratic resilience.

Looks like an interesting ORM which brings advantages of the Django one without all the bagage. It's still young, let's see how it evolves.

Vulkan compute shaders are very much capable nowadays. Exemplified by its use in FFmpeg.

Let's help them help us. There are a few things to have in place for governments to be able to pay maintainers.

Here are the main levers to make Python code faster. Tries also to distinguish the effort level of each approach.

Interesting model for bringing architectural and organisational changes. This is indeed at least in part political games... so you need some political capital to spend.
