In the end, this is a nice conversation about language design...

Very neat trip back in history. Ever wondered what happened in your terminal? This explains it well.

An excellent piece which raises interesting questions about computer literacy. There's indeed be a generation of people before the so called "digital natives" who had to know how computers work. Are we loosing this by cuddling people with too much convenience? How much are we then loosing as a society?

Interesting points about soft deletion... its usual pattern might not be what you need in the end. The proposed alternative is interesting to keep in mind.

Now this is surprising and unexpected... extremely ambitious as well. I wonder how far this will go, I like the overall idea though.

As much as I like RSS, it has indeed a few issues. It's important to keep them in mind.

I don't quite subscribe to some of the terms used (even though I see the point of not calling this API). Still I think this is a very good way to approach design, it's also why I like TDD, the tests force you to see how the code is used. If it ain't pretty there's a problem.

None of this looks like definitive research results on the topic. Still, there are quite a few weak signals pointing in the same direction.

Now this is a really strange story... amazing how she managed to be so successful and stay under the radars for so long!

Discusions around a fascinating and very important class of errors in distributed systems.

Couple of interesting tips. I like how it challenges the usual mythical man-month quote. Indeed sometimes adding people might help, if the conditions are right.

OK, now that's a surprising bit of DNS history.

Polars looks like an interesting alternative to Pandas in the industrialization phase of a data processing pipeline. The performance difference are really notable with larger volumes. I'd be interested to see how much of it is lost when using its Python API though.

Let's hope we'll indeed see more indie game creators moving to Godot, it's a neat engine.

Definitely this, showing care is the best thing you can do in services. Otherwise you can only do a mediocre job.

It feels a bit like cumulating aphorisms and "laws" to prove the point. Still it's nice to know them at least for the general culture.

Disgusting practices... unlawful too... this company is really an overgrown parasite.

Definitely a cool trick. Not really practical yet due to the performance and differences of behavior in the various browsers. Hopefully his will get solved at some point.

I admit I secretly wish for an IRC revival... been using lesser solutions too much for my taste.

I'm not sure the boundaries are a clear as laid out in this article. That said it's an interesting way to frame things. Also, clearly it's at the intersection of the so called tribes that the most interesting things happen.
