Interesting thinking on how the tools should be designed to avoid killing learning abilities. Now I doubt they'll ever be designed that way. That said, this gives good insights on how to use them better for programming.
Nice way to improve the set -e output. I guess I'll use it in my next scripts.
Matrix.org - How we discovered, and recovered from, Postgres corruption on the matrix.org homeserver
Wow, this was a really bad index corruption indeed.
Running interesting models locally gets more and more accessible.
Don't forget who so called productivity gains are for. Maybe it'll deliver (although I doubt it), and if it does we can draw the consequences from the past.
Some of this is not new, but it looks like a dying practice. It doesn't need to be. This medium is more efficient than chat for some cases.
Neat piece about the reactions when reading this (IMHO) very important book for the first time in 2025. Made me want to read it again!
ETH Zurich spearheading an effort for more ethical and cleaner open models. That's good research, looking forward to the results.
Indeed, it's hard. You need to put in the work but it's hard to predict where the real value will come from.
A good reminder that the JavaScript Date API is very error prone.
It's a very important threshold to cross. Let's hope this momentum stays long enough.
And it's not necessarily a problem. It all depends on the goal and context of the API you're building.
This is a lovely idea I think. Good way to pay homage to lost ones.
Excellent news on the PNG standard front!
Dealing with temporaries is always complicated it seems, whatever the language.
Very interesting bug hunt prompted by some mysterious character in some strings and leading all the way to PDF viewers.
If it's too complicated to find a good name, use a comment indeed. As simple as that.
Interesting article about expert generalists (also called "paint drip people" by Kent Beck). This is definitely a skill to foster in teams. The article is long enough that I'm not in agreement with everything in it. That being said there's a lot of food for thought here.
Better not trust ZIP files you receive...
OK... This is weird and funny. I definitely like the idea of an actor reading this important RFC aloud.
