Kind of ignore the security impact of the needed upgrades, but apart from this I largely agree. Most applications try to push more features in your face nowadays, unneeded notifications and all... this is frankly exhausting the users.

This is a nice little algorithm and it shows how to approach it in Python while keeping it efficient in term of operations.

If you're dealing with multithreading you should not turn to mutexes by default indeed. Consider higher level primitives and patterns first.

Struggling to understand tangent space and normal maps? This post does a good job to explain where this comes from.

I don't get why object oriented programming gets so much flack these days... It brings interesting tools and less interesting ones. Just pick and choose wisely like for any other paradigm.

Friendly reminder following the Cloudflare downtime earlier this week.

Podman is really a nice option for deploying containers nowadays.

Clearly AMD is now well above Intel in performance around AVX-512. This is somewhat unexpected.

Unsurprisingly the news ain't good on the front of social media and short form videos. Better stay clear of those.

Some of this might sound obvious I guess. Still there are interesting lesser known nuggets proposed here.

Good list of hardening options indeed. That's a lot to deal with of course, let's hope this spreads and some defaults are changed to make it easier.

This is totally misguided... Let's hope no one will succeed passing such dangerously stupid bills.

Interesting move on the Scrum definitions to move from roles to accountabilities. The article does a good job explaining it but then falls back into talking about roles somehow. Regarding the tech leads indeed they can work in Scrum teams. Scrum don't talk about them simply because Scrum don't talk about technical skills.

The type inference in C++ can indeed lead to this kind of traps. Need to be careful as usual.

Nice alternative syntax to the good old regular expressions. Gives nice structure to it all. There's a Rust crate to try it out.

Looks like Mozilla is doing everything it can to alienate the current Firefox user base and to push forward its forks.

Clearly needs further exploration. I'd like to see it submitted in a peer reviewed journal but maybe that will come. Still it's nice to see people for new approaches. It's a breath of fresh air. I like it when there are actual research rather than hype. Hopefully the days of the "scale it up and magic will happen" are counted.

Early days, we'll need to see the pricing and reviews. I'm obviously excited to see KDE going in even more consumer devices by default. Let's hope it sells even better than the Steam Deck.

Does a nice job explaining how the scheduling can be investigated from outside the kernel. It is a good introduction on the topic.

Looks more and more like an interesting solution for file type detection.
