Interesting first article, I wonder what the rest of the series will have in store. In any case this shows how practical it is to use the Django ORM standalone. This opens the door to nice use cases.

I was so waiting for someone motivated enough to publish a review of that paper. I indeed threw it away as weak after reading it. Thanks for taking the time to write this up! This is good scientific inquiry... and it shows there were interesting findings in the paper that the authors decided to just ignore.

Still young but looks like a nice option to write GUI tests for Qt based applications.

Another example of how much of a problem this is for some projects. Of course it is compounded by having so many projects on GitHub, this pushes people to try to farm for activity to attempt to make their resume look good. This is sad.

I've always been fascinated by steganography. It's a good reminder that the basics are fairly simple.

We got some math for that! No need to guess.

A good one page primer on how terminal emulators are designed.

Interesting lessons indeed. Especially the first one: "Technology is inherently political, and anyone telling you otherwise is trying to hide their politics." As tech people we too often forget this is all "sociotechnical", no tech is designed and used in a vacuum.

Are we on the verge to a push toward a mainframe based future? I really hope not, but for sure the hardware prices surging won't make things easy.

Interesting setup for self hosting on immutable infrastructure using bootc.

A small change in the standard, but it opens the door to interesting uses.

Still very young but it looks like it might become a nice and friendly alternative to strace.

Kind of resonate oddly with the string of talks I gave talking about craftsmanship a decade ago. Looks like FOSS communities at large have no choice but get inspired by such old practice.

Bluetooth might be convenient, clearly it leads to metadata leakage though.

Didn't know about sorting networks. They have interesting properties and are definitely good options on modern hardware.

Another nice resource to discover newer CSS idioms.

I find surprising it's not by default... But here we are.

Interesting new tricks with the introspection of Python type annotations.

I agree with this very much. The only productivity metric in the end is the end-user satisfaction.

Of course it's a question of the amount of allocations you need.
