Now, this is a really cool hack on the PinePhone!

Interesting curated list of Java evolutions. Looks like it's been picking up pace lately.

A way to common mistake which can blow the security of your service

Looks like a very comprehensive guide on the topic. I wish they produced an epub version as well. :-)

The difference between words and actions. A good reminder for those who still think that the Apple ecosystem is more virtuous regarding privacy than the Google one. Think again.

Interesting take on mentorship vs sponsorship. I indeed tend to mentor more than I sponsor. Definitely something I need to adjust.

Interesting little tool for exploring pipe expressions with live previews on the command line.

Interesting use of Rust to optimize an otherwise completely Python base code. This is properly done, first profiling the problematic system finding where the bottleneck is, evaluating other options first, then finally biting the bullet. Leads to a dramatic improvement by just replacing a few lines of Python. This is far from the "let's rewrite everything in Rust" which is a good thing.

Yes, fonts are hard to deal with... not it doesn't need to be like this. I suspect it'll stay like this for a long while though.

When we're reminded that "software eating up the world" is in fact very material things. More and more things around us are getting electronics and batteries due to this. This should all be treated as a non renewable resource because the raw materials it depends on are getting depleted fast. Tension on nickel could increase as early as 2027.

EN: Another one about the hiring process. Focuses mostly on the time used for the interviews though. Same thing it takes time: several long interviews. Also especially interesting it focuses on the real questions underneath the interview and there are not many of them: it's mostly about can we work together and if yes where is the candidate positioned skill wise compared to current employees. As it's very well put: "everything else is literature".

FR: Un autre article sur le processus de recrutement. Il se focalise principalement sur les entretiens. Mais comme d'habitude cela prend du temps: plusieurs entretiens longs. Il est aussi intéressant de voir que cela se focalise principalement sur les vraies questions derrière les entretiens et il n'y en a pas tant que ça: c'est principalement sur le fait de pouvoir travailler ensemble et si oui où le candidat se positionne sur le plan des compétences par rapport aux employés actuels. Et c'est très justement résumé: "le reste c'est de la littérature".

Interesting data point about hiring someone. I stay convinced that it needs to take time, it kinds of confirm it.

SQLite keeps being a fun database full of little nuggets. Plenty of cases when it could fly but when somehow we use the bigger players instead.

Interesting take, it's a bit what I feel coming from C++ and keeping an eye on Rust, it's accumulating features fast and there's a risk of things becoming inconsistent.

Still keeping an eye on what's available for crunching numbers in Rust. Apache Arrow looks like an interesting option.

Interesting use of CSS custom properties to make dynamic color schemes easy and manageable for webpages.

Very thorough analysis on the kind of web frontend performances you can expect for most people on mobile. Since we basically need to reduce the footprint of such frontends to make this sustainable again this is a very welcome article.

I like this kind of list of "gotchas" for languages or frameworks. This one seems to be fairly comprehensive in the case of Go. There are a few I wouldn't expect in such a recent and fashionable language, oh well...

Or why you can't really trust SMS for 2FA... it's just too much of a wild west there.

Not exactly new, but easy to loose sight of it when in the hamster wheel. Clearly a good reminder.
