The authors seems to use valid arguments. I don't know someone who uses Opera anymore.

Parsing increases the information in the type system. A list can be of type NonEmpty, i.e. there is at least one element.

Use a data structure that makes illegal states unrepresentable.
Push the burden of proof upward as far as possible, but no further.

and awesome guidelines to follow.

So parse "data" and return the closest type instead of only validate them.

The authors think the url does not really matter anymore because

• they are not fully displayed in some browsers
• they need to be short and memorable to get people to it

So it does not need to contain a lot of information.

Inquiet de la perte de connaissance du métier de DBA. C'est une inquiétude qui me semble justifié.

Because no browsers satisfy the author. The interesting part is why.

Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages won't exist anymore. See https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/google-search-kills-off-cached-webpages/.

The author put thoughts into caching webpages. Each link should have metadata associated to it: a favicon or an image, a description and the main language of the page.

Software correctness is indeed praised by many, but in many cases it’s not entirely clear what it even means for software to be correct. In reality, it often boils down to some hand-wavy principle of least surprise, where a staggering amount of software requirements are entirely made up on the fly in response to the behavior of the code.

Bureaucracy tends to make generic rules valid for 95% of the people. But what happens to the 5% in each case? The job becomes automated, and these cases are not handled.
The author proposes to reduce the size of the communities, so they can fit to each individual.

Let’s start with something controversial: Capitalism is not an economic system. It is a philosophical and ideological force that shapes our lives, environment, and perception of humanity.

It’s a behemoth that thrives on relentless growth, often at a devastating cost. Under its reign, we witness the widening chasm of inequality, where the affluent soar on the wings of wealth while the less fortunate are left to the whims of an unforgiving market.

Our planet, the cradle of life itself, is treated as a commodity, its resources extracted with reckless abandon, its delicate ecosystems pushed to the brink for profit.

There are 4 current design systems for Germany. Why not build one and use it everywhere instead? That's the question of the author and how they envision it for long-term 2029

Un retour sur un dev

There have already been many words written about the walled gardens of tech companies.

The reality is, for me at least, the premium I pay for the products I buy from Apple is a worthy exchange for the service I get. [...] The purchasing service and the after-sales support is unmatched.
