Since the movie became fashionable again, it might be interesting to go through this piece. The movie wasn't great, the article is a bit of a stretch... but at times it tells something about what's required to master a craft. It's a funny and short piece.

If you're behind on your updates, it's time to do it quickly.

What is premature optimization really? If you look at the full paper it might not be what you think. In any case we get back to: do the math and benchmark.

They both have their niches and it's welcome in my opinion. Now there are questions about the long term viability of Zig's ecosystem... the niche being smaller it's more at risk.

Nice move. It doesn't have to be about rewriting everything in Rust. Still there are some areas where we can benefit from the language and sandboxing.

Definitely a cool hardware hack. There are really many form factors and hardware options to explore for better XR experience.

And one more... it's clearly driven by an architecture pattern used by all vendors. They need to get their acts together to change this.

Since atomics are really a hard topic, this article is welcome. It does a good job explaining what memory ordering does. It helps to debunk some common misconceptions.

Friendly reminder that the term "server-side rendering" doesn't make sense. Also, you don't have to use React of the likes on the server side, it should be as simple as making string joins indeed.

I'd say this is a sane rant. Indeed, there's more progress to do, it will probably never stop. What could stop though is throwing crap at the people who quietly put effort into making our desktops more accessible.

I'd like to see the equivalent for Europe. Clearly in the US things aren't always great for Internet access. The latency is likely higher than you think, and the bandwidth lower.

There's always been disinformation in time of wars. The difference is the scale and speed of producing fake images now.

Nice trick to properly route from a public VPS with enough addresses to servers in your basement.

Nice idea and well executed I'd say. If you got doubts about something being FOSS, stopping there and checking is in order.

The hardware is there, the software not so much. Now I'd argue that the author overestimate the availability of said hardware in households.

This is indeed a metaphor which should be more common in enterprise software.

Good reminder that professional translators aren't gone... on the contrary. There's so many things in languages that you can't handle with a machine.

I recognize myself quite a bit in this opinion piece. It does a good job going through most of the ethical and practical reasons why you don't need LLMs to develop and why you likely don't want to.

Funny experiment. A bit incredible how many peers you can find this way.

Feels surprisingly accessible. Makes me want to play with meshstatic now.
