How should a website change with the seasons? Could a website be different as time passes? Could a website adapt to night time so that readers have an easier experience perusing information?

• Different category leads to different themes
• Emojis change with the seasons
• How can I make my website evoke feelings associated with a season?

All the most-impactful projects in the data engineering world are now written in Rust. More than the classics fast, safe and high-level language and C interop. The author provides highlight on:

The TL;DR is that most organizations don't even have that much [big] data, a few hundreds GB to single-digit TB for the 98%

One server is enough. [The industry] is instead focusing on simpler solutions.

Rust provides reusability! "For example, Arroyo, Ballista, delta-rs, InfluxDB and many more all use the Apache DataFusion query engine."

This is a massive piece of engineering that they don't have to re-invent themselves and can instead benefit from a software package built and continuously improved by many organizations that have a vested and shared interest in making it great.

OpenAI promises return on investment in 2029...

A company "that has no path to profitability,"

As I've said before, I believe there's also a subprime AI crisis brewing because OpenAI's API services — which lets people integrate its various models into external products — is currently priced at a loss, and increasing prices will likely make this product unsustainable for many businesses currently relying on these discounted rates.

As I've said before, OpenAI is unprofitable, unsustainable and untenable in its current form.

The author explains it in few points. See their breakdown on the revenue estimates.

POV

And, if we're honest, it still isn't obvious why anyone should use ChatGPT in the first place, other than the fact everybody is talking about it.

This heavily-suggests that generative AI, as a technology, doesn’t necessarily have a product-market fit.

« Et si nous en avions assez ? » Est-ce que matériellement, nous serions pas en situation de satiété ?

Red/Blue functions allegory of async and sync functions.

The author that if one function is red, all functions using it should be red too.

This is where the “red functions can only be called by red functions” rule comes from. You have to closurify the entire callstack all the way back to main() or the event handler.

One solution could be more generators.
Another is the use of green threads.

[...] Go has eliminated the distinction between synchronous and asynchronous code.

Ce gouffre économique. On pourrait tellement faire d'autres choses avec ces 10.4 milliards de dollars. L'IA pourrait bien être la prochaine bulle qui causera la crise financière, car l'attente de résultat est toujours en attente.

major.minor.patch works well but not for applications.

I go often for the state based version, based on component states.

Nearly all the state is handled in the view component.

Pour moi, le point commun est surtout une volonté de changer les choses. Or, par définition, si on veut changer les choses, c’est qu’on n’est pas satisfait avec la situation actuelle. On est donc « perdant ».
Être progressiste implique donc d’être perçu comme perdant selon le filtre d’Andy.

Comment encourager le mouvement?

Lorsque l’énergie me manque, lorsque je ne suis pas un révolutionnaire, je me concentre sur un objectif minimal : ne pas être un obstacle à celleux qui mènent la lutte.

Mais lorsque le « Non » frontal n’est pas possible, il reste la rébellion passive en jouant au plus con. C’est une technique qui fonctionne vraiment bien.

Elle consiste à poses des questions.

Lorsqu'un restaurant propose un plat végétarien ou quelqu'un fait un effort, "je le félicite". C'est un signal.
Avoir un compte un compte sur les réseaux libres est un moyen d'éviter d'être un obstacle.

Are we web yet? Well yes but with extra work. A lot of work.

The author provides its experience.

All the things I love about Django, could we have those for a Rust web framework so that we can reap the benefits of Rust without having to go needlessly slowly?

An attempt: https://git.sr.ht/~ntietz/newt

A future vision of the work.

1. Leaders who determine Policy
2. AI that gathers State from everywhere
3. Everything is done according to SOPs
4. SOPs are regularly updated
5. GOTO

Calcul du coût des contributions en €

Just do whatever interests you now. Don’t seek a story of purpose to guide or label your interests. [...] Focus on what fascinates you, even if it’s uncharacteristic. There is no purpose because there is no line connecting moments in time. There is no plot. You are not a story.

Wealth, feeling like you have plenty, is an equation.

A great feedback from a main Nuxt contributor about Open Source contribution

I think open source is a chance to step outside the normal producer-consumer dichotomy and enter the world of relationships. [...] is a chance to give and receive.

How to start contributing?

• If you are new to a project (as to a company), you have a priceless gift. You can see more clearly than people who are already there. You might be in a perfect position to challenge 'received wisdom.' 💡
• If you care about a project, then you are in the best position to make it better.
• Contributing to open source is a phenomenal way to grow.

About writing their own RSS script:

I learned new things and got satisfaction out of seeing them run correctly. I get nothing like that out of comparing apps and services.

the biggest advantage echoes what Dr. Drang says: Programming is often more fun than the alternative uses of my time.

Three reasons why time spent programming is well spent and joyful:

1. Learning: for example the EmojiHomepage to learn VueJS; Altercamp Live to learn "Phoenix LiveView" and practice OTP knowledge.
2. Control: the software does exactly what you want + from the self-built programs come the IKEA Effect
3. Creativity: creating anything is a desire and practicing it always leads to joyful experiences. That includes anything - complex systems, simple scripts, an article posted online, a wooden box.

The Hacker news discussion about this post has many testimony: side effects of programming without clear goal first. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24564835

The form should be the following:

*links resources only from the same domain (same tld)

• no CDN / Captchas / geographical restrictions
• does not require JavaScript for main functions (including e.g. writing comments, registration or placing orders)
• works in text browsers like Lynx
• screenshots of whole page can be saved (no weird scrolling, fixed panels etc.)
• if I save the page as HTML, it can be viewed offline later (including all important assets)
• no tracking or affilate links
• no ad system, no aggressive adverts (moderate ones are acceptable, content:advert ratio should be somehow 90:10 or better)
• meaningful titles and links (not misleading and if I bookmark the page, I can find it by keyword later)
• images have alternative text and / or description
• cited or borrowed content from other authors has proper references
• links to downloadable files say also format and size, e.g. „technical documentation (PDF, 560 KiB, 84 pages)“
• all pages have a timestamp / date of creation and last change
• says who is the author (may be a pseudonyme) and what is the purpose of the website; something like impressum
• catalog of all pages or at least news are available as RSS/Atom/RDF machine-readable format
• no annoying cookie consents, newsletters, pop-ups, paywalls etc.
• generated content (AI and other) is clearly marked (if any) and differentiated from human-created content
• no automatically playing videos or sounds; no autoplay (unless explicitly turned on by the user)

Maybe I could share mine someday. #futureBilletDeBlog

Someone points out the dark nets and the need for optimized websites. Other list different arguments or ideas.
