It's not complicated, just don't be a waste of atoms, m'kay? 😉

Another fun exploration of dithering techniques. The variety abounds in this domain I think.

It's definitely bringing nice moves now. It deserves to be used more indeed.

Nifty new approach for infinite terrain generation. This is really impressive work.

Good check list of things to consider when you're delegating something. It's pretty much the expectations from the person who delegate to you.

I wish more teams would have this kind of thinking an really carry it to its logical conclusion. In most case you don't need an SPA framework.

If you ever wondered what is responsible for printing the "core dumped" message, here is your answer.

Well yes... and hopefully the fashion industry won't be enough to hide it.

Not what I signed up for years ago, but it's the political and social landscape we inherited... Surveillance is being on steroids now, so definitely need to fight it at every turn.

Interesting game. Want to make your own alternate history? Gives pause about what we assume of the past. It stays fun of course.

Declarative systems like Nix and Guix bring their own set of complexities and challenges. That said, they also bring very interesting properties in terms of full system reproducibility. It can be a real help for integration work.

A not of a long introduction with generalities about APIs and ABIs. It really gets interesting when it covers the CPython specifics and the challenge they had keeping compatibility at the ABI level. This gives a good idea of the complexities needed to build wheels for Python packages.

The web scraper situation isn't getting better... How long can the open web still hold?

Still need some work I'd say but this is interesting research. Transpiling C++ to Rust is getting more accessible. It need some improvements on the optimisation side to be more generally usable.

There are ways to have a lighter web. It leads to interesting techniques too.

Cool resource to have the right values for various PBR materials.

This keeps being a very interesting TTS model. Looks like it's getting simpler to deploy too.

Funny experiment. If you're a Linux user pondering going back to Windows it'll likely cure you. Goodness the install experience is abysmal and that's just the beginning of the troubles. Of course it has a good side as well but it feels fairly limited.

Really this kind of AI push is a bad move for employers, especially when interacting with FOSS communities so much. This forces people to pass the ethical issues onto volunteers...

The data set is rather small but the trend is really bad. So much reviewer time wasted due to AI slop... this time on the Flathub side.
