This is an important concept in Rust... but clearly it's harder to grasp than you'd expect.

Behind the movie this is a big win for Blender. It proves Blender is viable for full length movies at this point. The movie was nice too. :-)

Nice little Python trick using bidirectional generators.

Friendly reminder that AI was also supposed to be a field about studying cognition... There's so many things we still don't understand that the whole "make it bigger and it'll be smart" obsession looks like it's creating missed opportunities to understand ourselves better.

Makes sense, the "boyscout rule" has a psychology impact as well.

An excellent article, that troubleshooting skill is really important in many fields... In particular software engineering. It's hard to teach and learn but it makes all the difference.

Nice post explaining the need of ACPI or Device Tree and how they are leveraged by kernels.

A long piece which explore the reasons why Rust is likely not the best pick for enterprise software. It's niche is clearly system programming but beyond that and because of its qualities in that space it quickly become a sharp and dangerous tool.

Or why you need to own at least some part of your infrastructure.

I admit I'm more and more tempted to pay for my search service as well. It's unfortunately not FOSS... But it's not like the alternative are better there either anyway.

Nice performance comparison of file handling in multithreaded context. It's surprising how slow MacOS seems to be there.

It like this parallel. The bigger the endeavour, the more complexity... And that will require thinking in very different ways for each order of magnitude.

There's clearly a tension on that topic and the expectations from engineering managers tend to change over time. I like the proposed answer here and the distinction made between writing code and being in the code.

The writing was on the wall. This is an unsurprising development but Edge users should know where it's going...

This is one of the handful of uses where I'd expect LLMs to shine. It's nice to see some tooling to make it easier.

Looks like I'm a digital packrat of some sort! There are reasons behind it and it's well explained.

Is it the future of web browsers? Maybe... I'm not sure this would be a good thing though.

Nice little paper I overlooked. I agree with it obviously. More tests are not a free pass to let complexity go wild. Architecture and design concerns are still very important even if you TDD properly.

Another example that on such ecosystems you're not really owning your device. Seek alternatives!

They really never learn... Whatever the country politician try to blindly fight against cryptography again and again. Let's hope this one is stopped.
