Ooh! This looks like a really neat improvement. I wonder how reliable this is, I'll definitely test it.
Could we just stop connecting cars with web access for features we don't really need? Please?
Nice short post about cohesion in software design. Also gives clue about what proxy we can use to gauge this cohesion.
Excellent proof of why you don't want to "rewrite it all in Rust". It's important to respect the old code and focus on applying safety practices on the new code. This is also why the upcoming changes to C++ are worth it, it might improve the interoperability factor almost for free.
It was to be expected that complaints against Mozilla could happen in Europe. They've been asking for it lately...
Lots of good stuff definitely coming. This should definitely help make it more approachable to lots of people.
Despite the drama, Rust is slowly making its way into the kernel.
Interesting trick to help with project wide renames for Python codebases.
Nice list of common portability issues one can encounter at the machine architecture level. But don't be fooled, this doesn't have implications only for C and C++, those problems leak in higher level languages as well.
Excellent piece, we're a civilisation whose culture is built on shifting sands and... toy plastics. Guess what will survive us?
Interesting problem I didn't realize PyPI had. Indeed I hope they start looking into reproducibility issue to reduce the bandwidth and space they use.
People are putting LLM related feature out there too hastily for my taste. At least they should keep in mind the security and safety implications.
Wondering what io_uring is for? This is a good explanation.
This is clearly less high profile than the Scarlett Johanssen vs OpenAI one. Still this shows it has the potential to become a widespread (even though shady) practice. This might need some regulation fairly soon.
This is indeed important to be able to run such models locally. Will still require more optimization but it's slowly getting there. The reproducibility it brings is especially necessary for science.
What can I say? I love Makefiles as well.
This law is unfortunately too little known. Here is a nice and short primer. Be careful though, it's short but packed with information, might require more reading around the concepts highlighted in this article.
Definitely a big announcement for Matrix. Could it be the beginning of going mainstream? I suspect it'll be now or never. I'm slightly concerned about the desktop support being apparently ignored, the UX there is far from great still.
When I read the content of this article I wonder how useful the metrics really were. I mean clearly they helped the team realize which changes to bring... but the practice changes were all somewhat conventional in a way. You go a long way when you focus on quality and create the space for it.
Definitely good news if you have to maintain a real-time Linux system for industrial use. No more patches to carry over.
