Or why you should think twice before embarking into a refactoring when it's not directly related to some feature development...
Looks like a very interesting extensions to help people get into a codebase or to record tutorials.
Interesting take on the Malthusian argument. It's been debated for a while now and was clearly wrong. Still maybe we didn't draw the right lessons from that mistake.
Oh totally missed that Python 3.8 introduced protocols. Now that makes mypy very useful, I was slightly concerned at how strict interfaces tended to be with nominal types.
Excellent series of posts on how to pick your color scales for your data visualization projects.
Looks like an interesting CSS framework for including data visualization in HTML frontends. The fact that you can simply have the data in the HTML is particularly appealing.
What!? You don't know LaTeX yet? Go learn it, now! :-)
I like when papers aren't about "mine is better than your". This is an interestingly balanced take on those two popular option showing where they fit best. Shows good reasons for a polyglot approach: as usual use the best tool for the job.
Long and very interesting series of posts debunking the myths around Sparta. Where we learn it was a very unequal society... and that on top of being very violent... turns out, once again, all that violence was for nothing. The end of the regime is actually fairly pathetic.
Still somehow they managed to build a myth thanks to a few accomplices. That served them somewhat well but didn't last long. And now that myth is permeating pop culture and inspires toxic masculinity.
Smoke and mirrors.
Yes, the permission model of GitHub gives me the creeps as well... A couple of the examples given in there are really problematic and need to be addressed. This is even more important seeing the amount of stuff hosted on GitHub nowadays.
Maybe a way out of the supply chain attacks? Will take time and adoption of course.
Somehow states the obvious: you don't always need docker. Still a good reminder, especially true with the trend of single binary web services like what can be achieved with Go and Rust.
This looks like an interesting intrusion detection tool. I like the overall approach they chose.
Somewhat surprising, never looked at ketchup this way but indeed it's a fair non-newtonian fluid. I guess it didn't occur to me because I user and encounter it too seldomly. :-)
EN: After the disaster in the OVH centers, a good reminder of a proper backup strategy that should be applied as soon as you manage some data.
FR: Après le désastre chez OVH, un excellent rappel sur la bonne stratégie à suivre pour ses backups dès que l'on gère un peu de données.
Ah, finally looks like we got an interesting dataframe crate in the Rust world. Performances seems nice too.
To be seen how it behaves in practice. The explanations of how it's designed are interesting in any case. :-)
Interesting use of templates for markdown based legal documents. Probably got a few ideas on how to use this...
That shows one of the issues of the kind of centralization IoT as currently done pushes for. Breach in one company? Plenty more people impacted...
Best part of the article is probably the stated motives:
"Kottmann said their reasons for hacking are “lots of curiosity, fighting for freedom of information and against intellectual property, a huge dose of anti-capitalism, a hint of anarchism -- and it’s also just too much fun not to do it.”"
This looks like a very interesting board to play with. It's a bit on the pricey range but other than that... Nice specs.
Now that's a fairly surprising situation. In some way this is logical though and can be seen through recent history. Unsurprisingly, this comes with its own clique effects challenges like discrimination or overprotecting "your group".
