Nice vision model. Looks like it strikes and interesting balance between performance and memory consumption. Looks doable to run cheaply and on premise.
Good post about the very much overlooked fact that lots of command buffer internally when their output is not a TTY.
Very good piece explaining why the Ferdiverse is currently our only option for a decentralized social media platform. Maybe Bluesky will become another option... maybe... but so far it's only empty promises with a real risk of capture.
Can you see this kind of models getting abused quickly? Clearly it says something about the tech industry wanting to reduce costs.
Are you confused with the use of requires in C++20? This post might help.
Everything is in the title... if you thought you owned anything on those platforms, think twice.
The debate about how BlueSky and decentralisation or federation continues. It's nice to see how civilized the people involved are. This is how we can make progress.
Since the documentation is severely lacking in this area, this ends up being a nice how to. I wish we'd have more like this in the official documentation.
Good explanation of what Rust's unsafe really does.
Tempted to do some XSLT? Did you notice it's almost 2025? So yeah, just don't. At least there's a proper alternative if you still need to process that XML input.
More shady practices to try to save themselves. Let's hope it won't work.
It's clear that a split is forming in the C++ community on how to evolve the language. Could it lead to a full fledged divorce?
Looks like there is a new venue to improve garbage collectors performance. This should be interesting down the line.
Another rebuttal of Clean Code. Most of it makes sense if not overdone. There's the usual confusion around the "unit tests" term though, so take that section with a pinch of salt.
Interesting approach to have secure and decentralized naming while keeping it human readable.
The water problem is obviously hard to ignore. This piece does a good job illustrating how large the impact is.
Technology isn't neutral. It's impossible to ignore the ideologies of the moguls funding or leading big tech companies. We can't afford to trust their promises.
Definitely this. Sure we should seek for decentralization, but this is not going to happen or be effective without regulation. Ensuring privacy is a legislative and political problem as much as a technical one.
This is a good point. Idiosyncrasies are not necessarily a bad thing for naming things. Natural languages are fickle friends, you might need to rely to specific metaphors in order to disambiguate.
A long and comprehensive analysis of Bluesky. Also brings interesting critiques about both Bluesky and the Fediverse. Clearly Bluesky as of today is not effectively decentralized and shouldn't be considered as such.
