A bit old but interesting finding. Kind of confirms my own view about it: it's best when everyone (not just designers) can interact with the users of the system you're building.

Interesting take, let's see if it's true and things will decentralize (or at least audiences fragment, the author seems to confuse both) more in the future.

Interesting piece. It shows quite well what users have lost with the over reliance on HTTP for everything. Moving more and more things in the brother fosters walled gardens indeed. Compound this with branding obsession from most company and you indeed end up with an absurd situation.

Let's hope it's one good resolution for 2023 that plenty will go for. We need blogs to be back, massively. It would be better for everyone.

Friendly reminder, if you're not paying authors of FOSS libraries, they owe you nothing.

That's a lot which happened in this community over the past year. It's important that is keeps pushing forward and luckily it does.

OK, this is really cool for all your realistic height map needs!

This is indeed a strange default used for sockets there... will have bad consequences for sure in more situations than expected.

A few compelling arguments for the impact of the latest strain of generative neural networks. The consequences for the eroded trust about online content are clear. I'm less convinced about some of the longer term predictions this piece proposes though.

Nice article. Keep an eye on potential collisions indeed. Depending on the use of your hashes this can be critical.

Python is getting faster but is still far from what you can get with C++ of course. That said, for simulations you likely don't want everything in Python or in C++. Part of the challenge is to split the subsystems properly and use C++ where it matters.

Like it or not, this is definitely filling a very unique niche. It's a very good fit for system software where safety is important and available time limited. There is no better option for now.

As they say: follow the money. That gives an idea about the incentives and various agendas behind this take over.

Looks like an interesting frontend stack. Still young but probably worth keeping an eye on.

There it is... at least for the developers and gamers demographic.

There are a few reasons to worry about the latest strain of generative neural networks. One of them is the trust we can place in new generated content. The other one is indeed the impact on our culture. There's been already a trend at focusing on what sells rather than what's truly novel or avant-garde. This could well push it further. We'll we drown in mediocre content?

International Domain Names indeed opened a whole can of worms. This creates plenty of opportunities for confusions and mistakes waiting to happen... or to be exploited.

Good points, this shows quite effectively the problem with blindly following rules without keeping in mind the reasoning behind them.

This is a big deal, it's time we open up that can of worms.

Interesting tool to for the automatic transcription and translation of videos using off the shelf components. Seems to work nicely.
