Let’s go for my web review for the week 2026-25.

Or why modern economics mostly loose the plot when you try to factor Open Source in there simplistic theories.

A very balanced set of recommendations from the SFC around LLM uses. It’s just the beginning and still lacks a bit in details. It’s very welcome though and I look forward to their updates.

I like this idea. It’d be nice if more websites felt like little town squares.

People excited by accumulating so much wealth (on paper) are clearly showing sociopathic traits…

Long, rich, and sourced piece. Or why the current gold rush aims at accelerating wealth accumulation of a few to the expense of everyone else. If the plans work as intended, the outcome won’t look good.

The latest move by the US government treating LLMs like dangerous weapons tells something about the geopolitical moment. Can we collectively raise to the challenge and build on cooperation instead? It’d be a much better position than assuming governments or big companies will make the right choices for everyone else in isolation.

What a surprise… It turns out it’s very easy to manipulate AI “search”. Something which operates of statistical similarity to queries, who knew it could be manipulated. 🙄

Badly apparently, looks like it makes for prose people avoid. Now the thing is… with the widespread suspicion, some people might be wrongfully flagged as using LLM to write their posts.

What happens when targeted scams become cheap to run? This covers it fairly well, and we need to change our heuristics and trust model.

Looks like a nice command line tool for exploring data.

Neat little summary on the mechanisms to ignore files in Git.

A good reminder that Linux based systems can be slimmed down quite a bit. Can come in handy for specific devices.

Indeed, skipping the centralized package manager might be better in the long run.

Wondering how those are implemented and the challenges behind them? This is a good exploration of the idea.

This is an excellent exercise to understand a language and its ecosystem better. This time it is about Rust.

Tags: tech, rust, multithreading
Sounds obvious to me, but I guess it’s worth repeating. It illustrates well the type of issues you still have to deal with in multi-threaded Rust.

Interesting take on why CVEs are reported differently for C/C++ and Rust libraries. The responsibility for API misuse is treated differently because the abilities to express contracts is treated differently.

Looks like a good book. This review definitely tempts me.

This is really interesting stuff that C++26 brings.

Indeed, the intermediate steps in an animation have to make sense too. Too often we think about the start and end point but miss the quality of the transition.

So many possibilities with Perlin noise! There are some really fascinating textures in the lot.

I still wish our craft would practice pair and ensemble programming more. Somehow it’s been years and it doesn’t really take off unfortunately.

This is a good list of questions. Never forget you need to assess the company you’re applying at. To often candidates forget to do it.

This is sound advice. Especially in this era of chasing productivity at all costs, we tend to not listen to ourselves enough.
