Probably somewhat self serving so the numbers would need to be confirmed with other experiments. That said that case gives a good idea of the price in terms of complexity and resources when choosing to go for an SPA.

Interestingly the issue for the compile time is not so much the feature itself but the STL headers required. It makes PCH pretty much mandatory.

Interesting piece which challenges the shared-memory vs. message-passing dichotomy. It message passing indeed gets rid of data races but nothing more. Of course this is nice already, but that doesn't mean you can't have the other families of concurrency bugs creeping in.

Those dangerous and stupid laws keep popping out unfortunately. This is clearly a slippery slope as shown from the New York bill... We need to push back or the demands will keep growing. Let's hope Free Software communities won't try to preemptively comply, this would be short sighted and self-sabotage.

This is concerning, hopefully the amount of issues which get through will be limited.

Yes, Rust like C++ comes with zero cost abstractions. Still they can get in the way of some compiler optimisations. This is an interesting case preventing vectorisation.

Rampant complexity in software is also a management issue. Are we sure we're rewarding the right things?

A reminder that logs are not for the developers first but for operation.

You probably want to complete this with a higher level plan if the goal is a larger modernization. That being said, it's a good approach for mid-level to small goals you'd want to tackle.

Yes there's a dip, but this piece presents compelling evidence that it's not the death of literacy we're sometimes screaming at. It is also a love letter to reading and writing.

Wondering how udev communicates with the kernel? And then broadcast events? This covers the basics.

What could possibly go wrong? This is really a weird appointment.

Interesting point, looking for agency seems like a good criteria. It highlights it's not a simple test though. I'd add that trust matters and that's built over time.

Didn't know about this one. Looks like a nice alternative to the venerable man command.

The stupid idea of age verification keeps spreading with ridiculous laws...

Very good essay on why the developer profession is not going away. On the contrary we need to double down on essential skills and put in the work. This is long overdue anyway.

We got options beyond poll() nowadays.

This fantasy regularly comes back. Yet, the tools evolve, might improve some things but the core difficulties of programming don't change. At each hype cycle our industry over promises and under delivers, this is unnecessary.

This looks tempting. I guess I'll try this one instead of pre-commit when I get the chance.

Is Norway about to become one of the first countries to become serious about enshittification? Will more follow? This would be welcome.
