Excellent news! It is long overdue that such organisations switch to open access.

Indeed, if you benefit from Free Software you'd better engage with it. Maintainers should stop bending backwards to please free loaders.

Another post which reminds everyone what object oriented programming is about. And yes, there's indeed a variety of different tools in there, not all object oriented languages are equivalent.

This debate around licensing, politics and making our FOSS efforts sustainable need to happen. It looks like for now to some people the path forward is defensive licensing? I wish at least we'd first attempt to have more strong copyleft use...

Interesting thinking, indeed expectations are changing quite a bit for engineering managers over time. Thus the proposed list of core and growth skills is interesting. It is likely a good framing for the job, then the art is finding the right balance for your organisation.

Looks like a neat software library for procedural geometry.

I'm not really a fan of the leaderboard part of their approach. That said, if the maturity of the organisation allows it, having such bug squashing sessions is a good idea.

This would probably be a good thing indeed. We'll see of the web culture will evolve next.

Interesting approach I didn't know about. Definitely worth trying. I like how it seems to bake risk management in.

Error handling is not easy. Having simple rules to apply for complex systems is a good thing. Of course the difficulty is to apply them consistently.

Ever wondered if we could solve the Fizz Buzz with a Fourier series? Trigonometry is magic.

Interesting point of view. Indeed, you probably want things to not be available 100% of the time. This forces you to see how resilient things really are.

No, don't go assuming you can use disks instead of ram. This is not what it is about. It shows ways to get more out of your disks though. It's not something you always need, but sometimes it can be a worth endeavor.

Clearly something is brewing right now. We're seeing more and more people successfully switching.

Depending on the ecosystem it's more or less easy indeed. Let's remember that error handling is one of the hard problems to solve.

If you're wondering where emoticons and emojis are coming from, this is a nice little piece about that.

If there's one area where people should stay clear from LLMs, it's definitely when they want to learn a topic. That's one more study showing the knowledge you retain from LLMs briefs is shallower. The friction and the struggle to get to the information is a feature, our brain needs it to remember properly.

That's an interesting approach. Early days on this one, it clearly requires further work but it seems like the proper path for math related problems.

I wonder what the whole series will give. Anyway I very much agree with this first post. Too often projects have a single product manager and that's a problem.
