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.

I so much agree with this. Interviews are just better one on one. Mind the stress of the candidate.

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.

Interesting paper about the gradual typing experiments done around Static Python. Shows a few interesting properties. I wonder if some or most of it will find its way back to CPython.

Looks like a nice tool to handle websites lacking a RSS feed.

Likewise I'm more and more unconvinced about the unit vs integration tests distinction. It's likely a continuum between them. I like the proposed axes for classification here. I wish they'd be a bit more orthogonal though.

Good overview on the state management offer around React. Especially interesting is how it frames the different problems one has to keep in mind to maintain state in your UI.

Very interesting thought experiment around Copilot's legality. I'd love to see that happen and see what the outcome would be.

OK, it's 2022 and this is still not an adequate ecosystem for system programming.

Very good points in there. Indeed there's a natural tension between making and managing. You can't schedule the day in the same way. After more remote work, indeed we'll need more async communication.

Let's get the historical records straight indeed. Don't believe the web3 bullshit revisionism.

If you're still confused about [[noreturn]] this is a good short read. Indeed it's a bit annoying that it is not part of the type system.

Mysterious event... that's the problem with such centralized and homogeneous system, when something fails it is quickly at scale.
