Wondering why gamma correction is needed? Here is a good explanation of gamma and sRGB.

I keep being surprised at how common this kind of mistakes are. I probably shouldn't, it's actually kind of easy to fall into such traps.

This is a nice update on the criteria you want to have in mind for good test suites.

Very powerful talk from Bruce Sterling about design and the startup culture. The most impactful part starts somewhere in the middle (where the URL leads you).

Or why focusing on the practices will likely lead to cargo cult and you might never reach the real benefits. Don't mimic other organisations, think about the underlying philosophy.

There's a balance to strike on quality. Too much or too little and you won't be able to progress towards the user needs.

The HDMI Forum is still a bad actor for Free Software... They just don't want open source drivers to exist.

TLS inspection software is indeed a very bad idea. You'd better not have them in your organisation.

Simple tips to make calls more enjoyable for everyone.

I wouldn't apply everything in there, but there's good ideas as well. I guess YMMV, so if you're remote working, I'd say pick and choose what works best for you.

It's indeed fairly underrated but very useful, especially if you're making libraries.

There are indeed options for managing dependencies in more complex Rust codebases. It needs to be planned properly when doing the software architecture of your components though.

This is now critical infrastructure in my opinion. It's nice to see how much progress was made.

Care must be taken while benchmarking indeed. Compilers are sometimes too smart and that can skew the numbers.

I think I prefer friction as well. It's not about choosing discomfort all the time, but there's clearly a threshold not to cross. If things get too convenient there's a point where we get disconnected from the human condition indeed. I prefer a fuller and imperfect life.

Nice little post, indeed the license is not enough to base a decision on. You need to look at the business, presence of CLA or not, etc.

Long but excellent opinion piece about everything which is wrong with the current AI-mania.

I think the title should say "social media" rather than "the Internet". That said, the trend is indeed clear... those big tech companies look more and more like TV broadcaster. So remember you turned off the TV for a reason.

Remember, the web is for everyone. It's meant to weird and diverse.
