This is a good summary of why I think those crypto currencies are mainly a scam and used to entertain a perpetual delusion on their use.

Interesting way to combine Django and a couple of JS based tiny frameworks to make simpler frontends.

This is a bit of a rant but that summarizes quite well why I fail to fall in love with snap, flatpack and the likes. Everytime I tried to use one of those I ended up with GBs of extra runtime to deal with and the security arguments are frankly debatable... I wish the LSB wasn't defunct.

Always wanted to try this particular way of dealing with patches. But none of the projects I contributed to so far work in that mode.

Good reminder of why fingerprint readers are really a poor security device.

Good summary about string formatting in Python. Clearly helps to decide between f-strings and the fomat function.

Very good advises emphasizing empathy and holistic view of products.

Little known but potentially very useful SSH feature.

Another frontend framework which seems lightweight. Especially nice is the fact that it's built on top of Web Components and that properties are properly reactive.

The paper is very "cloud focused" but most of the arguments make sense overall. Managing complexity is really the core issue of what we do as engineers... or at least it should be.

Now this one is really nasty...

Definitely this. We got a bunch of rich people with a very shallow understanding of cyberpunk literature. They're focusing on the gimmicks, missing completely the big picture... all of this to not face they'd be the villains in those stories.

Funny interesting tiny markup language targeting cooking. Funnily enough I could see myself using this.

Another very important common turns 25 this year. Happy birthday Internet Archive!

This is in the context of a game, but from my experience in other domains... this is definitely why you want Linux users when you make a product. Might not generate a lots of sales but the signal/noise ratio in the bug reports is just great.

Dates are important, they can also be complicated. When unsure about how a format works this page can help.

Since I'm still hoping for a strong RSS revival (not that it disappeared but I wish it was more the default option again), this post especially resonated with me. The discovery tool sounds very interesting.

This explains quite well why I liked to have type information in my code bases. This also shows a few interesting bits of mypy use.

Very nice introduction on the topic. This is a recommended read.

This could be a game changer for a future Python 4.
