Eh oui, EDF produit beaucoup d'électricité. C'est aussi dans leurs intérêts que le marché augmente en France, ainsi que de leur faire leur promotion.

The weekend PyPI wave showed how a compromised maintainer account could publish malicious wheels that abused Python startup behavior

It runs JS with Bun in a subprocess from a python program.

It includes a counter-measure to LLM analysis with a comment about biological und nuclear weapons.

another protocol to send data packets over multiple physical layers such as LoRa, IP, Bluetooth or Serial

How can QUIC be viable, then? The attentive reader might already have spotted the answer: the problem isn’t QUIC, but its default configuration, which was designed with terrestrial internet in mind. What we need is a custom configuration, this time targeting deep space, with guidelines to tweak things further if a space mission deems it necessary.

See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-many-tiptop-quic-profile/01/

To run the experiments in real time instead of time delays in space:

• the clock can advance way faster than normal and elapse whenever the process got blocked due to a timer
• get rid of packet IO and use one process simulating the whole thing.

With full control over the network, it became possible to make the workbench fully deterministic

Debuggability received some love too. As packets travel through the in-process network, each peer records them in a synthetic .pcap file for later inspection.

More details in the post to make it work.

YAGNI is not an excuse to never design as some critics have characterized it. If you need it, build it. YAGNI is a meditation on timing. Building structure too soon is as risky as building structure too late.

First bill: optionality

1. When you build structure before the feature arrives, you're committing on a guess.
2. The feature you prepared for usually isn’t the feature that shows up.

Second bill: NPV

3. Money has time value. Structure you build now for a feature due in three months is cost pulled forward and revenue pushed back.
4. The bill comes due even when your guess is right.
5. The cost of typing the code is not even considered. What about maintenance?

Une grande partie des communautés autour du logiciel libre, de Linux, du dev...etc sont devenues des endroits franchement hostiles.

Par exemple, une développeurse du pilote USB 3.0 a quitté explicitement le projet à cause de ces comportements.

En 2017, 79% des PR proposées par des femmes sont fusionnés, contre 75% pour les hommes; mais uniquement quand leur genre n'est pas identifiable. Étude: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170501094343.htm

La même année, Open Source Survey de Github annonçait qu'il y a vait 95% d'hommes, 3% de femmes et 1% de non binaire parmi les contributeurs.

Idem en 2018 sur un post de StackOverflow. Trop de gens vivent Stack Overflow comme un endroit hostile ou élitiste.

Le vrai problème, selon lui, ce n'est pas la communauté, c'est qu'on a appris aux utilisateurs à dire aux autres ce qu'ils font de travers sans jamais leur apprendre à le faire correctement. C'est ce bon vieux RTFM de connard balancé à la gueule des débutants qui après n'osent plus poser de question.

Une autre enquête Elephant in the Valley a montré que 60% des femmes de la Silicon Valley avec au moins 10 ans d'expérience avaient subi des avances sexuelles déplacées.

Korben signale que 100% des problèmes dans sa vie perso ou pro ou été causé par des hommes, et que 80% des personnes qui l'ont aidé après étaient des femmes.

I didn't know Debian had PPA (like Ubuntu) named "extrepo".

This system is definitely useful to get the latest releases of specific softwares.

headingoffset is a new HTML attribute to increase the upcoming heading levels. It's definitely not there yet https://caniuse.com/?search=headingoffset

How can I style an H3 when there's no H3 tag?
With the selector :heading(3).
But be aware of the browser support: inexistant (https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_selectors_heading)

In this post, I’ll walk through a set of common misconceptions that drive teams to introduce new infrastructure when they don’t need to. All of these can be solved with vanilla PostgreSQL 18 using standard extensions available on RDS, with no special infrastructure and no distributed-systems cosplay.
