It's a leap

Silo is a banger. But Severance is the next step in banger-ism.

In the coming years, I look forward to the best selling books titled “Debugging AI-generated Codebases” and its companion “Refactoring Legacy AI Systems”.

This is funnily timely 😃 🤣

I didn't know about this #macOS trick: the "stationary pad" allows you to transform any file in a template. The next time you open that file, it'll actually create a copy of this original template file. www.macrumors.com/how-to/make-...

If you have issues running TestContainers/Kafka on top of Podman, just switch to RedPanda: java.testcontainers.org/modules/redp... How your container images are built does matter.

How I built an AI company to save my open source project On this day, 3 years ago, my world fell apart. It was a Thursday. I just finished my second meeting that morning, looked at my inbox and realized it was over. My life’s work was over. Read more: timefold.ai/blog/how-i-b...

This is idiotic. Many computer scientists (real ones with PhDs who teach at respected universities) consider mainstream cryptocurrency to be a scam with no intrinsic value and no practical uses. The US government should stay far away from speculative fads like this www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

I promise I never made fun of jsonx. Never 🤣

Red Hat Middleware is moving under IBM. Feels like a big change, yet for most of us, it’s business as usual. The tech, the people, and the mission remain. Let’s see what the future holds. www.redhat.com/en/blog/evol...

Yay! InfoQ have published the video of "Zero Waste, Radical Magic, and Italian Graft – Quarkus Efficiency Secrets", with a transcript. www.infoq.com/presentation...

☕️ Kicking off the day by building a new @quarkus.io service for my site—straight from NTE airport! 🚀🛫 #CodeOnTheGo

Quarkus Long-Term Support (LTS) releases going forward will follow a predictable cadence, with micro-releases every two months - read more details in the blog at https://buff.ly/42vLTt6

15 Years Ago: Apple Announced iPad.

Sometimes you think your PhD topic is way way behind, and... you find some interesting gem that brings back memories 🤪 Here's an intriguing state machine based library in Go: github.com/pancsta/asyn...

📢 The Mutiny reactive programming library version 2.8.0 is out: github.com/smallrye/sma... Minor fixes and now requires Java 17 as a baseline ⤵️

You might not know it but we French have a special connection to the song « YMCA » in our popular culture. Sadly it will never be the same anymore.

Silo season 2 was a masterpiece 🤯

GitHub actions are moving from ubuntu-22 to ubuntu-24. The move is non-deterministic, and super-break-y 🤪. Often forks move before the main repo, causing lots of 'works for me' chaos 😵‍💫 One break we've seen is apt-get yq installs. You can't do that anymore. Luckily, you haven't needed to since 2021.

Unpopular opinion: downloading your X/Twitter archive is good. Now re-importing it here or to another platform... doesn't make much sense to me. Things like hashtags, links and handles aren't necessarily transferable. You can always put it on a personal website if you think the archive matters.

If you find it hard to get back to work: youtu.be/SF1mhYBXWyk?...

I’ve been a happy Fastmail customer since 2012, but I have relatively simple personal email needs. I’m considering switching my domain name over iCloud+ since I’m already a customer. Any thoughts / insights appreciated 😃🙏

Is there any interest in Scala these days?

Matière noire, matière noire... tout le monde en a entendu parler sans savoir ce qu'est cette matière qui représenterait une majorité de ce qui constitue notre Univers. Alors, c'est quoi? Je vais essayer de l'expliquer simplement! Thread👇
