Interesting analysis on the impact of lazy-loading images in your pages. Bottom line is: don't do it blindly, it's actual better to not lazy-load some of the images.

Another couple of attempts at supply chain attacks. This time in the Python ecosystem. The skill level of those attempts isn't high though.

Funny and somewhat balanced. It shows in the subtext that it's not just about "the good old days".

Yep, definitely do this on a regular basis. It takes only a minute several times a day.

Interestingly I'm less interview averse than what's explained in this article. Depends how it's done of course, but since I think I'm also evaluating the potential employer, seeing more people gives you a better idea of how things are internally.

There's been an announcement of MediaWiki adopting Vue.js. I think it's interesting to not stop at it and look what their workgroup evaluated and looked at to decide it was a good choice for them. There are a couple of interesting points in there.

This ecosystem keeps baffling me... How come there are so little checks on what can get published or how the command line process parameters.

This is welcome changes in the git cli interface which I noticed... that said I'm already so used to the old method it'll take me some time to adjust.

Interesting exploration of to do lists systems and our relationship to them. It's complicated and it's in good part because of empathy towards ourselves and our relationship to time.

Long and nice article about collaborative editing algorithms and their implementation. The problem space is tough, benchmarking is hard, profiling as well and optimizing even more so. Very thorough.

Good reminder of the limits of machine learning. There's no clear path from machine learning to more general intelligence. This article doesn't account for emergence effects though. They are a possibility but that's a long stretch from what being exhibited so far: it's "just" statistics.

This is a bad trend. One needs a properly setup space for remote work. This obviously raises questions of real estate and money. I wonder how far employers would go to support remote working there... Buying a chair might not be enough.

Interesting guide on how to make the design of your frontend "eco friendly". Lots of tips in there on how to spare bandwidth and CPU time for the reader. Tends to push toward more minimalist designs which I definitely like. :-)

Good reminder of why if you got mobile devices which are outside of a secured office (like most companies nowadays) you should never underestimate the Evil-Maid scenario...

Now that finally looks like an interesting approach to make GPU computation more accessible to the public. This seems to do a few things right to lower a bit the complexity while retaining good performances.

Nice extracts with comments about finding joy in your (work) life or not. Two paths really... which one are you on?

Too bad this is stretching a bit too far on the politics side (although it's not unjustified, I think it muddies the initial message in this context).

A good primer on full-text search features in Postgres. A nice way to get started. This is too often overlooked, you can wait before pulling another dependency like Elasticsearch.

A very interesting look at the history of the Agile movement. What it really meant and what it degenerated into.

A very thorough resource on how the Python import system works. Very convenient to figure out what's broken when something goes wrong.

Ah! I thought this was often a missing piece in most React frontend code I've seen which mostly piles up useEffect and useState calls. Having a finite state machine is definitely a must have there, I'm glad some options actually exist, I didn't bump into XState so far I'll make sure to look into it.
