Interesting tricks to optimize this function in V8.

The example is maybe a bit on the simplistic side. Still it helps understand why you need to pay attention to the SRP.

Or why you should know why you're picking a new tech stack... or not. Don't just blindly follow fashions.

This is an old one, but I think that even without DVDs in the mix the core of the stories are still valid.

The question is always valid. I like this particular answer.

A short list of common code smells that people need to know.

This really unlocks interesting features in the C++ space.

A nice little survey of what the academia already had to say about TDD a few years ago. Clearly the outcome seems mostly positive.

Very interesting stuff. This doesn't give a very cheerful picture of the current state though. Can a XMPP revival be in the cards? That would be an interesting outcome.

It's nice to see there are turn key solutions for hosting your own XMPP server nowadays. And the community behind this one even improve on the mobile applications.

This is a nice trick for keeping your secrets safe while having them handy when needed.

Looks like a nice tool for real-time collaboration on files.

That's a good point too often overlooked by people complaining at Wayland. It indeed enable form factors and uses cases that we couldn't address with X11.
