Totally expected price hike, and it's likely to keep going.

Interesting forensic of a device left around to spy a network.

Very nice introduction to the bytecode used in CPython.

Also a good reminder of the fact that people are not just resources you can swap easily.

Interesting exploration on why we see a large resignation movement (at least in the US, the study is US centric anyway). It's clearly not only about wages and they are other even more powerful forces at play. First and foremost: mind your corporate culture.

Interesting piece which points out (despite its title) that it's not simply about funding, this is also about the relationship between projects and large companies which try to squeeze value out of them.

Or why upgrades need to happen with care, especially with an open platform like the web...

Not very profound but definitely useful tips on how to handle reviews.

Always remember the human beings and the context behind the code you are looking at.

This looks like a very interesting dataviz framework.

Looks like a very interesting approach. This is still clearly for techies though, but time will tell.

Don't use it much anymore for various reasons, but I still find the simplicity of IRC still appealing and elegant. It is a really neat protocol.

Very well makes the point on why general AI or good conversational bots are nowhere in sight with neural networks. It's just freaking hard to push general knowledge into those networks... Also there's the limit of not having a body and not feeling pain. This is indeed still a requirement to learn things and give them meaning.

Excellent series about work sample tests during interviews. Definitely good food for thought in there, I already changed how I was doing a few things with it and what I tested worked nicely so far.

Interesting article about how we badly design AI systems which make them very vulnerable to the quality of the data they receive. That's in part why I'd expect that somehow we'll see knowledge representation somehow come back in fashion because they have some potential to lead to better explicability in models.

Looks like a nifty little tool for sending notifications from a script to your phone or such.

Good reminder that CORS can have an impact regarding the performance of your application.

Indeed, don't use this by default. This is likely overkill and has terrible side effects. Look up for the alternatives proposed in this article first.

Now this is a really neat way to explain how floats work and how you loose precision. Definitely a good trick I should keep in mind when I have to talk about them, it's always been a chore to explain them.

Good reminder on how a shared atomic can become a huge bottleneck in multi-CPU setups.
