Interesting dimensions to use when classifying syncing solutions and to see which ones will meet your constraints.
This is a good point. systemd is kind of turning into a monoculture, but what are we loosing? Indeed, right now things could be better on deeply embedded systems (I insist on the "deep embedded" here which is often more limited in resources). Unlike the author I think they could be improved and they don't quite apply to a good chunk of recent embedded platforms though.
Good illustration of how the C++ language complexity is out of hands.
A nice subset of HTML to ensure better accessibility and reduced complexity.
A good reminder that I should probably evaluate DuckDB for some of my tooling.
A good example of how much C++ improved in recent years. The problem is that we tend to stick too much to the old constructs we already know.
Like me, you find the Open Source AI Definition weak on the training data information side? You'd be right and there's a reason for it... it's probably hiding quite some open washing for the larger models. This is a good explanation of the motives and consequences.
A quick tour of the available tools to profile Spring Boot applications.
Very nice deep dive into a post-processing shader to create a painted scene effect.
This is a good view of what you're getting into with the "rewrite it in Rust" knee-jerk reaction.
Good explanation on how the agile movement scaled down about design over time in its literature. It's probably its biggest failure. The good thing is that the pendulum is starting to swing in the other direction a bit (that's probably why Beck is now working on a book series on software design).
Time management and timezones are definitely complicated. In a way it's culture colliding with computers and localisation... it can't be simple.
I definitely like the approach of having vectorisation in the RDBMS directly. This is one less moving part, less complexity at the application level to synchronize everything together. In this case it's a Postgres extension.
This is an amazing example of the brain plasticity. It's also great to have a patch for increased quality of life with a training of only a few weeks.
It's sometimes extremely difficult to get to the original source of a scientific claim. Our corpus of science is so large and complex now that finding where a claim comes from can be a daunting task.
This is definitely getting there in terms of performance and usability. The mobile clients seem mature enough, just need the desktop clients to catch up before this becomes really something I'd feel confident enough to recommend and push for.
Yet another Git option I missed. This is definitely useful, I'll try it out.
Nice initiative from the OSI. It is timely, such a definition was surely needed. The data information part seems fairly weak though... for sure you could make a system which doesn't respect the four freedoms that way.
Interesting, there's now an official tool to replicate sqlite databases. It's still early days, we'll see which features it'll get.
Another excellent piece from Kent Beck, he's right that the real differentiator in our profession is about digging deep on topics, seeing them through even if that's on the side. Curiosity is a key trait.
