Let’s go for my web review for the week 2026-23.

Good point, the booing on Eric Schimidt’s commencement speech is likely not just about him talking about AI at some point. You see, the man has very heavy baggage… He’s one of the architects of the current dystopia but won’t acknowledge it.

Indeed the trend wasn’t new. It’s “just” the icing on the cake from the enclosure point of view.

When Amnesty International feels like it has to publish a 44 pages briefing pointing out what’s wrong with your approach and business… it’d be nice to pay attention.

Indeed, if the rsync maintainer can’t handle a coding assistant properly… who can?

There was an era of hybrid techniques in video games before it mostly went full real-time 3D. It gave interesting results, here is an example.

"<![CDATA[ ... ]]>" in RSSTags: tech, blog, rss
Good point indeed, need to review my own feed next time I get the chance.

Good primer on systemd timers. Indeed it’s really one of the nice systemd features.

Mind those traps when dealing with such a database. There are locks you don’t necessarily expect.

Tags: tech, linux, embedded, yocto, debian
Indeed, teams reach out to Yocto by default a bit too much. It’s good to have an idea on when you really needed and when you can go for simpler options.

Tags: tech, rust, type-systems, object-oriented
Some of the examples lean on macro trickery. Still this gives a good example of the flexibility you get with the trait system.
Tags: tech, c++, standard, culture
Cold and harsh look at how the C++ standard library evolves. There’s indeed a problem in the fact that nothing gets removed ever.

Good point, disabling asserts in production is not the best default position to have.

Good summary of how the terms evolved. They are more tied to each other than most people think.

Things which matter take time. The calls to productivity and technology pushing us toward faster response on everything is killing what makes our humanity.
