I don't really need one either, but I'll buy it anyway, mostly because I want to support vendors who make hacker-friendly hardware and software. For that reason alone, Valve gets my money.

That's awesome! I've come to take "the year of the Linux desktop" as a prophecy of sorts. It might take another 20 years, or desktops might vanish, but it is going to happen. Slow and steady wins the race. Best regards f

Honestly, Assembly is great. It's the most closer-to-the-metal, no-nonsense, raw experience you can get. The problem is that means it's also tedious and error-prone to write, but the elegant simplicity of the abstraction is still

A quad-core ARM A53 just isn't doing that device any favors, even for a Linux phone. If only they had included at least a couple of ARM A76 cores or something.

No amount of “own the code you generate” policies will prevent the rise of “I don’t know, the AI wrote it” excuses in the LLM era. What’s more likely is that reviewers will be flooded with unvetted, generated code. Over time, this can lead

DoH is a technical win but a practical regression for anyone who actually runs their own DNS. With classic DNS, you could hand out your resolver via DHCP and transparently control local zones. With DoH, that's gone. You have to configu

I use both Podman and Docker pretty regularly, and to be honest I don’t see a huge amount of differentiation or practical value in Podman for my day-to-day. It feels like another OCI runtime with some quirks compared to Docker. One pain poi

There are two fundamental issues in the ARM ecosystem for general-purpose computing: the lack of a standard boot environment and the lack of a reliable device auto-discovery mechanism. Device trees still require a lot of manual intervention

Top-level error handling doesn't mean losing error details. When done well, it uses specialized exceptions and a catch–wrap–rethrow strategy to preserve stack traces and add context. Centralizing errors provides consistency, ensures al

I'm starting to notice a pattern with these kinds of comments. They almost never provide any actual evidence for the work they mention.

"AI" is becoming meaningless. Most LLMs aren't intelligent; they're just sophisticated pattern-matchers. I call them AI-Like, inspired by "Unix-like." An AI-Like system produces outputs that mimic intelligence,

Why would anyone bother at this point though? Tedious handholding and extra effort for code reviews. Just write the damn thing yourself.

Contrary to the popular trend, I usually stick with Node and NPM for most of my projects. That said, I’ve run into plenty of headaches with CommonJS vs ESM quirks. Sharing code between frontend and backend (via shared libraries) still feels

In what way Ruby and Python are foundations for entire industries? As I see, these two are just surface level languages which mostly use C/C++ under the hood.

Just skimmed through the Blitz source. Really interesting. I don’t have experience with UI rendering or Rust, but I couldn’t help wondering: if you leave out things like local storage and websockets, why include networking at all? Feels lik

It's tough to see a project with so much potential struggling. It feels like they've spread themselves too thin. Focusing solely on Firefox and core web initiatives like MDN seems like the most logical path forward. Imagine what t

I haven't tried Dropwizard. Is it a batteries included as Spring Boot? Eg: How is authentication support? Do we need a lot of boilerplate to implement let's say an OAuth2 resource server?

Well, Java's date time APIs are pretty good if not best in the industry.

At some point, we built REST clients so generic they could handle nearly any use case. Honestly, building truly RESTful APIs has been easy for ages, just render HTML on the server and send it to the browser. That's 100% REST with no fu

This is not even a question if you don't need GPIO. N100/N150 brings so much value for money in almost any metric compared to RPi.

Annotations were once condemned as 'magic' for doing things at runtime. Now it's apparently fine to use a language where most non-trivial code depends on macros. Tools that rewrite your code at compile time, often invisibly.

XML needs a renaissance because it solves problems modern formats still fumble with. Robust schema validation, namespaces, mixed content, and powerful tooling like XPath/XSLT. It's verbose, yes. It's can be made to look like

Indeed. Virtual threads, structured concurrency and scoped values are great features.
