Aphorisms and ideas on how to treat data visualization properly.

OK, now that's a blast from the past. I liked this game.

This is finally a solved problem. No more ugly border workaround.

Nice! A recreation of the 2D physics simulation used in the very first GTA. Loved that game and it had a very nice feel in its simulation at the time.

Good reminder that licensing is only one signal. The governance is what matters for Free Software communities. This means looking at more than just the license to pick your folks.

Interesting case of the compiler not generating the code you'd expect on some platforms. The problem is that it can bring security implications you don't want.

Early days but this could help better use lazy imports in Python. It's not exactly a transparent process.

OK, that's a funny one. You thought there was no back story to minesweeper? Time to see it differently.

As usual with such provers the model is fairly constraining. But nowadays it seems to start being usable in more cases. Deriving the Lean code from the source code is nice too.

This is a rant yes but well deserved. Those companies selling giant LLMs are just DDoSing everyone...

Or why you should have a proper inventory. Also shows how having a proper MDM in place can help.

OK, this is really a neat idea. Seems useful to have a simple check on important tasks on several machines.

Indeed, it would be way too easy if it was just about rewriting in a new stack. It's often a question of better alignment with a changed context.

It's really a strong option for dependency updates indeed.

A bit of an advertisement for the author's book but the advice makes sense. The strangler fig pattern indeed works at smaller scales. Grow the new API first, test it, then port.

Let's see if it really takes off. It'd be a step in the right direction for sure.

This finding is kind of surprising to me. Time to install solar systems at home I guess?

Are we surprised? Unfortunately not, they almost increased their indirection emissions 8 folds in a few years. And it could get worse still.

Looks like the mess on hardware prices will continue for a while...

It makes sense to me, it's better to not fall prey to the marketing induced FOMO. Instead projects have a chance to do the right thing.
