Nice post about pros and cons of ECS architectures.

Clearly the security practice around Pixelfed bears questioning. I'm also a bit surprise at the lack of protection of private messages in the ActivityPub protocol (even though it's a hard admittedly a hard problem).

For sure the aforementioned manager need to fix his communication style. That being said the core advice was indeed good.

This is considered standard practice at this point. The article does a good job explaining it and the reasoning behind it.

Looks like a nice resource to deep dive into CSS layouts and really understand their behaviours.

Looks like a nice alternative to git rebase to manage patchsets. Definitely interesting if you're using something like Gerrit. With other forges... It'll depend how your reviews are handled I think.

Sure, a filter which turns pictures into something with the Ghibli style looks cute. But make no mistake, it has utter political motives. They need a distraction from their problems and it's yet another way to breach a boundary. Unfortunately I expect people will comply and use the feature with enthusiasm...

A bit cynical at times, but shows tricks to improve the writing and style of blog posts. If I ever find the time to write something sizeable again I guess I'll try some of them.

A reminder that writing on disks is a longer process than you could suspect. Many things can go wrong on that chain.

Or why analogies with physical work don't work...

Interesting story... when you end up turning to v8 having a bug in the field, you're really in trouble.

A good look at both incumbents in the web browser engine space. Still quite some way to go but the results are interesting already.

Again that confirms that all the hype and grand announcements are not deserved. It also gives a good idea of the skills which are required to use those tools, clearly the setup process is involved if you want to don't want to be overwhelmed and drowning in bad code.

Nice post about the practical impacts of Postel's law. It's especially problematic in the case of Open Source software. Companies producing proprietary software even use that to their advantage.

There's a sustainability issue for the REST support with Django. Hopefully this will resolve.

Or why software patents can get in the way... You can work around them somehow, but that quickly leads to shipping binaries you can't properly check.

Looks like a nice way to orchestrate rootless podman containers.

Interesting rambling and exploration. What would a computer built to last a century look like?

Interesting fork of rr to have time travel debugging with software counters. Hopefully will allow using rr in environments where it's limited by lack of access to hardware performance counters.

Looks like a neat little tool to explore git repositories.
