I'm not sure the "bubble" comparison properly applies. Still there are indeed signs of the Open Source movement getting in troubles. It'll be all the more important to stick to the Free Software values.

How to avoid drowning in errors when getting serious about monitoring. Finding class of errors and treating them one by one will definitely help.

Looks like an interesting way to improve SQL. This feels like a nice extension, it's much better than throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Interesting to see how far you can go preprocessing Python.

Interesting comparison between old attempts at backdooring OpenSSH and the latest xz attempt. There are lessons to be learned from this. It makes a good case for starting to sandbox everything.

Definitely something architects should do more. Understanding the business needs should be the input to the technical decisions. Otherwise you might just happily build the wrong thing.

Funny musing about the OOM killer. With nice pointers if you want to dive further into the topic.

SIMD is hard to use, not all problems can apply to it. But when they can, the performance gain can be great.

Starts like a satire, but there's a serious conclusion in the end. Indeed, mind the power dynamics in code reviews. Be nice, steer away from those antipatterns, especially since you might be on the receiving end the next time.

A little refresher about std::ref and std::cref. They come in handy sometimes, but also if you don't realize you need them you'll generate more copies than necessary.

Since they unfortunately turned on private attribution by default (why? Mozilla, why?). Here is an easy automated way to turn it off.

This is indeed a nice way to approach technical interviews. Unfortunately it requires quite some effort to setup and maintain. You also have to find the right bugs to put in the interview and this is a rarity.

With all those bots and scripts crawling the Web, some of the semantic web vision got silently implemented.

It's good to see major institutions like this get out of contracts with scientific publishing companies. Those unfortunately became mostly parasitic. Open access should be the norm for research.

It's better than no feedback. It's a bit lazy and far from perfect though.

Looks like there's another contender for package management for Python. This is sooo fragmented now... this one is compelling though.

There are many ways to create a memory leak in Javascript. Here is a good list of the things to pay attention to.

Looks like a nice tool to monitor your network.

Scary thread... developers should know better than do this and ship it on devices around the world. Their data is now anyone for the taking and users' privacy can't be ensured.

Be sure to pick the right behavior model when you make a benchmark. Otherwise you might just measure the wrong thing.
