The story of an internal SVC system developed by one engineer that leaves the company, and the team afterwards fails to deliver.

Regardless of its age, SVC is textbook legacy software because, more often than not, a question posed about the system, to any team member, results in the same answer: I don’t know. [...] The code may tell the what and the how, but it doesn’t tell the why.

In his Software Aging paper, David Parnas warns against putting software in the hands of developers who haven’t contributed to (and thus don’t understand) its design.

Our job is to explain, over and over, the meaning of our software. We must tell a story about what our software is, and what it’s expected to become. When understanding software, we tell that story to ourselves. When changing software, we tell that story to others. Software which is complex takes a long time to explain.

The death of a program happens when the programmer team possessing its theory is dissolved.

Example code is often simple because it lives in a idealized world. Use defensive programming to relates possible errors.

Scaling to power of 10s is challenging. As harmful to build for the system for the future as it is to build an inefficient system for the present.

Sources of complexity:

1. leaky abstractions
2. model/reality gaps: first and lastnames; unicode...
   • fix it, hack around it or ignore the problem
3. hyperspace: multiple runtimes, various screen sizes, multiple network speed, multiple version, etc...
   • example: 3 browsers with their 4 last versions each, 3 screen sizes on 3 platforms = 108 combinations
   • try to unify the environment: electron apps. Avoid NxM complexity.
4. Complexity (homeostatis) over time
   • some people tolerate more or less complexity
   • a valuable system is worth putting up with more pain (resources, ...)

Rien ne va dans cette information.

Instead of hash functions to store password, use Password-Based Key Derivation Functions (PBKDF) such as Argon2id.

bcrypt should be avoided due to its huge footgun: it truncates inputs longer than 72 characters. Okta AD/LDAP was vulnerable because of it.

Checksum functions such as CRC32 and xxh3 are optimized for pure speed and don't provide any security guarantees about their output, and it's easy to find collisions for a given checksum.

In 2024 based on I/O speed, a hash function with a throughput of 1 GB / s / core is considered fast enough for most use cases.

I skip the speed part because it is not relevant for me: 100MB/s or 1GB/s does not make much difference.

SHA3 and the BLAKE family which produced secures hash functions that are also misuse resistant.

A strength >= 128 bits is considered secure. The security agencies recommendation are a bit different. Hash length ranges from 256 (NIST) to 512 (ECRYPT-CSA).

SHA3 has many functions, SHA2 is vulnerable to length extension attacks (secret || message) but BLAKE3 has none of these issues.

Post-Quantum security from Grover's algorithm divides by 2 the preimage and 2nd-preimage resistance. The BHT algorithm predicts however that a quantum computer can find a collision in $2^{\mathrm{<mfrac><mtext>n</mtext><mtext>3</mtext></mfrac>}}$ operations instead of 2^n/2

So SHA2 for convenience or BLAKE for the rest. There is only C and Rust that have official support for BLAKE though.

Terminologie de la gestion du temps:

• Temps Universel Coordonné (UTC)
• Heure d'été (Daylight Saving Time ou DST) afin d'ajouter une heure l'été pour réduire la consommation d'énergie
• Temps Atomique International (TAI), en avance de 37 secondes intercalaires sur l'UTC
• Les secondes intercalaires sont ajoutées à l'UTC pour compenser les variations de la rotation de la Terre
• La correction des secondes intercalaires est de 27 secondes : TAI - UTC - 10
• L'heure locale (wall time) est l'heure égale à l'endroit donné.
• Epoch: point à partir duquel le temps est mesuré. Pour Posix, c'est le 1er janvietr 9170 à 00h00 UTC.
• Le temps standard: la date et heure « de base » d'un fuseau horaire, sans tenir compte du DST
• La base de données sur les fuseaux horaires définie l'ensemble des informations sur ceux-ci.
• Le temps universel (UT) est le temps terrien. Depuis 1960, c'est l'UTC.
• Le temps unix: le nombre de secondes depuis l'epoch (et son analogue le temps Unix avec secondes intercalaires). C'est ce dernier qui est utilisé dans le format TZif, pour indiquer les dates et heures des moments où se fait une transition entre heure d'hiver et heure d'été.

Les fichiers tzif obtiennent deux types MIME: application/tzif-leap et application/tzif (sans secondes intercalaires). Ce sont des fichiers binaires décrivant les timezones.

Are CSS reset always needed?

CSS resets are based on three premises:

• There are differences in how user agents present web pages, that is, their default styles vary.
• These differences have an effect on the given website.
• The differences are important to be handled.

But there are developers that does not use these resets

• That there are sites and apps out there that do not use and that work fine without a CSS reset is pretty much never being talked about in the context of CSS resets.
• When we take the extreme positions of always and never needing a CSS reset, positions we observe in practice, then we end up with a contradiction. P & ¬P

I shortened my sentences. I used keywords that Google could identify easily. I wrote in a way that allowed Google to understand our content, following a set of nebulous rules laid out by the overlords. The rules were never expressly stated, but trial and error from millions of people that came before our blog seemed to point to a common path. And that path was “Juicy Info Nuggets”.

In September of 2023 Google started rolling out what it called its “Helpful Content Update“. The stated goal of this update to search results was to reduce the amount of spam and AI-generated crap that littered the internet. The actual result? The destruction of small publishers, blogs, and the Rise of Reddit.

And where does that leave bloggers, small publishers, and the like? Well, after years of training online publishers to write in a fashion that Google web crawlers could easily identify, in easily digestible nuggets of information, Google will be taking those nuggets and giving them away for free. Because hey, when you’re a huge monopoly you can do whatever you want.

Years ago I read this review on a new book at the time, The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50 by Jonathan Rauch. The book explores the phenomenon of a "U-shaped" trajectory in life satisfaction. Drawing on extensive research, Rauch reveals that happiness often declines from our 20s into our 40s, reaching a low point in midlife, before rising again in our 50s and beyond. This pattern, observed across various cultures and demographics, suggests that the midlife slump is a natural phase rather than a crisis. When I read the review I remember thinking, sweet! I have something to look forward to in a few years.

Pain in C++

• tools and compiler/platform differences
• ergonomics and (thread) safety
• community

Why Rust?

• fun & cool: better for a hobby project. It is a need.
• Great tooling
• Options are easier to use than C++'s pointers
• use system over #include
• simpler dependency management
• killer feature is Send and Sync, statically enforcing rules around threading.

So if you are trying to draw any conclusions from this, consider the context: A group of people working on a thing in their free time, diverting some effort to work on something else, and deciding that after the work is finished it actually isn’t.

Gripes with Rust

• portability between OS: it allows to miss systems and ignoring version differences
• string translation and localization: format! are checked at compile-time
• building to other targets: "it is often better to use if cfg!(...) instead of #[cfg(...)] because code behind the latter is eliminated very early, so it may be entirely wrong and only shows up when building on the affected system.

They also report mistakes they made.

There are good with quick-wins of the port to Rust. There is also some sad ones: CMake is not removed yet. Cargo is missing some features to install third dependencies (.fish scripts, 130 pages of documentation, the web-config tool and the man page generator).

Different thoughts about how we handle faillible and infaillible functions

Similarly as in functional programming where functions and closures are „just values“, here results are „just values“. This opens up some new possibilities.

So how to handle infallible functions that returns an expected error (Can not divide by 0) and infaillible functions (that execute 1 + 2): there is no way to distinguish them with Result only... Or maybe Result<Result<T, InfallibleError> FallibleError>

Conclusion:

Honestly, I don’t know if there’s any. I just hope to illustrate some reasons why I personally don’t like the Ok-wrapping in as analytical way as possible. I hope we can at least learn to agree to disagree on this point and respect that each one has their reasons for the preferences.

One solution is to set the color-schema CSS property color-scheme: light dark; then use the light-dark function.

This media attribute can also be set in JS too, in order to load the proper stylesheet.

A partir du 1er janvier, les expérimentations du RSA conditionné à 15 à 20 heures d’activités doivent se généraliser à l’ensemble du pays.

Mais la cotisation pendant le travail ouvre le droit au RSA, c'est donc un droit non? Alors pourquoi le RSA serait conditionné à 15 à 20h d'activités ? Il y aura donc moins d'agents et plus de contrôle. Quelle est alors l'utilité de Pôle Emploi? Depuis son renommage en France Travail, j'y vois un tout autre objectif.

28.6% de taux d'emploi avec ette mesure après 6 mois. Il faut ensuite voir quel emploi, si la personne travaille comme intérimaire pour quelques semaines, s’il s’agit d’un CDD de quelques mois ou d’un CDI. Un autre dispositif d’accompagnement sans conditions ni sanctions a été mis en place, un allocataire sur trois était en emploi après six mois.

Un autre effet s'applique: un « décrochage » dû à la multiplication des démarches administratives et à la peur des contrôles.

De ce que laisse entrevoir la communication gouvernementale et les quelques retours d’expériences, il s’agirait de multiplier les démarches de recherche d’emploi, de participer à des ateliers de rédaction de CV ou de « coaching », de suivre des stages, des formations ou des cours de langues… Voire de l’obtention du permis de conduire ou de rendez-vous médicaux. Les témoignages de personnes ayant expérimenté le RSA conditionné soulignent la difficulté des déplacements, leur coût non défrayé ou le temps passé à justifier de leurs activités.

1. Young editors often started editing Wikipedia as teenagers. Their curiosity towards the platform is sometimes triggered by school, in which they heard that Wikipedia is an unreliable source.
2. The editors are less active on social media. A portion have a gaming as hobby but Wikipedia editing replaced online gaming for many.
3. Intrinsic motivations is the key. They learn from the talk page structure and collaboration. They do name by heart that they want to contribute to a world with free, accessible and reliable knowledge.
4. All young people, editors or non-editors, indicate that they do need to feel sufficiently qualified to contribute.
5. Some young people are only interested in the technical aspect of the encyclopedia, while others mainly want to (learn to) write. Some are interested in technical aspects, and others want to write encyclopaedic content.

Young people attract other young people. We want to strengthen the existing group of young active editors to attract new young editors.

Storing UTC events loses the timezone information.

What happens if the event changes its location timezone?

What happens if the new DST rule changes?

So what to do? Store the original user's intent! Maybe derive the timezone from the location in some cases. Then store the UTC time of that event and store that as well.

Note: timezone UIs suck generally. One option is available between a lot, and the name is not always clear...

aria-label and aria-labelledby aren’t permitted on these elements. They are intended for interactive elements (buttons, links, form controls) and landmark regions.

The author provides the HTML elements that are not allowed to have an aria-label or aria-labelledby.

VoiceOver generally announce the contents of the aria-label. That aria-label “works” on generic elements in VoiceOver is a nonstandard remediation of noncompliant code, not an endorsement of a technique working as intended.

The author provides multiple HTML patterns to avoid the use of aria-label in the first place! Great!

• Use visible text
• Use Visually-Hidden Text

(in the context of big tech companies)

the priority of a project is to ship!

But it’s really important that one person on the project has an end-to-end understanding of the whole thing: how it hangs together technically, and what product or business purpose it serves.

You only know you’ve shipped when your company’s leadership acknowledge you’ve shipped.

you have to get clear on what the company is looking to get out of the project. [...] Align your work and communication accordingly!

Second, no matter the project goal, your leadership team will always have basically zero technical context about the project. They will rely on you for estimates, to answer technical questions, and to anticipate technical problems. Maintaining that trust should be your top priority.

How?

• track record of having shipped in the past.
• project confidence
• project competence
• communicate professionally and concisely. Share updates.

Then getting to production! Often a key detail is missing. Sometimes the user documents are stored in memcached and are MB large, or the data stored are unexpectedly sensitive legally sensible.

Can we ship right now?

Bring up the feature to as many eyes as possible!

If you want to ship, you need to do the exact opposite: you need to deploy as much as you can as early as possible, and you need to do the scariest changes as early as you can possibly do them.

A good example comes from looking towards the impact of incorporating AI into search engines such as Google. A single generative AI query could use 4 to 5 times more energy than a regular search engine query. Others found that average energy consumption per search could be 6.9–8.9 Wh, compared to 0.3 Wh for a standard Google search. This gives us an enormous range of 4-30 times larger. Whichever end of the scale the figures land, it’s a significant increase.

Does the result quality increases at the same rate?

Facile à dire...

As much as I hate online ads, they supported people to do the thing that they enjoyed as a profession — but that ability is now extremely rare. Bloggers are the ones that tell you this doesn’t matter. That they do it for themselves, not for the income. Writers, on the other hand, won’t bother if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Being a blogger means that writing online, even when your posts are scruffy and error-prone, is something you do for the enjoyment of it, and that’s the best place to be.

A dependency in software can be summarized to a checksum, a location, a name and a version.

The checksum checks the integrity, the location defines how to retrieve the dependency, the name identify the dependency and the version its substitutability (major with breaking changes, minor if it has new features or bug fixes).

De fait, le tarif réglementé sur l’électricité va baisser de 14 % au 1er février 2025 pour les particuliers. Relevée à son niveau d’avant-crise, la taxe sur l’électricité remontera à 33,70 euros par mégawattheure pour les ménages français, contre 22 euros actuellement.

Autre changement à prendre compte, celui du prix du gaz de chauffage, dont le tarif de l’accise passe pour 2025 à 17,16 € par MWh. Contre 16,37 €/MWh en 2024 et 8,37 €/MWh en 2023.

Theory about worker productivity

an organization doing work is just an incredibly complex, dynamic, distributed, parallel process.

The work capacity of an organization scales, at most, linearly as new members are added.

The ceaseless pursuit of force multipliers is the only possible route to superlinear productivity improvements as an organization grows.

Contention costs grow superlinearly as new members are added.

Staffing highly sequential efforts as if they were entirely parallel leads to catastrophe.

Coherence costs grow quadratically as new members are added. [...] The total time spent communicating will grow quadratically as the work capacity of the organization grows linearly.

Principles:

• Keep the work parallel, the groups small, and the resources local
• Prioritize the development of force multipliers
• If possible, factor work products into independent modules; if not, grow slowly and optimize.
• Scale organizational efforts across a portfolio of synergistic products
• Keep responsibility assignment matrices small, sparse, and local
• Prioritize asynchronous information distribution over synchronous
• Build humane organizations

Les chargeurs ne sont donc pas tous eǵaux, dépendant de la marque de l'ordiphone

Le premier : la promesse de puissances de charge impressionnante doit être nuancée. Lorsqu’un constructeur vous promet du 120 W par exemple, ne pensez pas que le smartphone va recevoir 120 W en continu pendant toute la charge. S’il y a généralement un pic (pour peu que le smartphone soit compatible), celui-ci ne dure pas. Regardez plutôt : dans le cas du Redmi Note, nous avons un pic au-delà des 100 W pendant une à deux minutes, puis il se stabilise autour des 50 W.

Deuxième point intéressant que nous tirons de cette expérience, l’USB-C n’est en aucun cas synonyme d’une vraie intercompatibilité. Certes, chaque chargeur utilisé est parvenu à alimenter les téléphones utilisés. Mais les conditions de charge ont parfois beaucoup varié d’un constructeur à l’autre, malgré des promesses en termes de watts assez proches. [...] La conclusion qu’il faut tirer de tout cela est que le domaine des chargeurs manque clairement de transparence.

Troisième point intéressant : utiliser un smartphone et un chargeur d’une même marque est presque toujours gagnant pour ce smartphone, mais dans la plupart des cas, ce même chargeur se montre moins bon lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre marque. En conséquence, vous avez un produit qui n’est très bon que dans un cas très précis.

Contrairement aux cookies, qui peuvent être supprimés ou contrôlés depuis les paramètres du navigateur, l'empreinte numérique repose sur des signaux qui persistent même si les utilisateurs suppriment leurs données de navigation. On peut donc craindre que les utilisateurs soient suivis et identifiés à leur insu, ce qui compromettrait leur capacité à préserver leur vie privée en ligne.

En 2019, Google a déclaré : « contrairement aux cookies, les utilisateurs ne peuvent pas effacer leur empreinte numérique et ne peuvent donc pas contrôler la manière dont leurs informations sont collectées. Nous pensons que cela porte atteinte au choix de l'utilisateur et que c'est une erreur ». Aujourd'hui, Google estime que « des avancées technologiques ont permis d'améliorer les techniques de protection de la vie privée des utilisateurs sur Internet ».

Quelles avancées?

To simulate unsupported CSS rules: delete them.

Providing fallback is as easy as providing multiple values for the same property: the first the most supported, then going to the last value.

In other situations, we might want to apply an alternative set of styles when a feature is unsupported. We can use the @supports at-rule for this.

The goal isn’t to produce exactly the same UI for all users. The goal is to provide a reasonable fallback experience.

2. browser breakdown

The statistics come from caniuse, that uses the web analystics statcounter. For each website, the audience will be different. Joshwcomeau notes that there are 4.1% more Firefox users visiting his website.

It leads to the potential harm: Is it OK to break the user experience for 1% of users? What is the potential harm caused by a broken experience?
To answer this question in business, this is a cost question: is it worth it? On the contrary, essential services such as a booking vaccine service needs to be as widely supported as possible.

what’s the right number of hours to work in a week

is a question behind work/life balance.

Longer days

there is a mounting body of evidence showing correlation between number of hours worked and decline in both mental health and physical health

Longer workweeks

A friend of mine who read an earlier draft of this article also made the excellent point that 2 hours at work often aren’t equivalent to 2 hours at home

Burnout

The graphs above show that you can indeed get more stuff done by working more, but only up to a point. Beyond that point, you end up with a compounding negative return. But therein also lies a clue: crunch time is fine as long as there is a recovery period afterwards.

Exerting back-pressure

Perversely, this happens more in companies where the employees feel particularly dedicated to the company’s work; employees absorb more work and tighter deadlines by working harder because they care about what they’re working towards.

I want to stress that back-pressure does not mean “just say no”. Instead, effective back-pressure is all about negotiation. [...] when you’re near capacity and someone approaches you with more work, you should present them with what work would need to be dropped in order to take on their work instead.

Working smarter

The first is to get a given thing done faster.
The second is to better choose the order in which you do things such that your time is spent where it matters most. [...] The most needed; is blocking other people; or the closest to completion.
The third is to be more cognisant of what you work on.
the fourth is to be strategic about when you work.

As a wise mentor of mine has pointed out repeatedly to me, working smarter helps, but the real superpower is resting smarter. [...] The important thing is that you feel like that time is replenishing the same batteries you exhaust at work.

Finding the time

The important thing is that you feel like that time is replenishing the same batteries you exhaust at work.

Essentially [Carrier-Grade Network Address Translations] allow the ISP to assign a single IPv4 address to multiple customers.

[A CGNAT] creates challenges trying to remotely access resources on my home network externally

You can usually tell if you're behind a CGNAT if your IP address is in a private IPv4 address range. [] ... Another method is running traceroute with your public facing IP address. [...] If there's more than one hop, then you're likely behind a CGNAT.

If you're unfortunate enough to be behind a CGNAT, you can sometimes request a static IP from your ISP (usually at a cost). However, there are options to access resources on your home network, such as using a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Instead of an isOpen class, why not using aria-expanded="true" (except for <details)?

In js, asserts can be used with console.assert(<condition as expression>, error message)

It is great for prototyping or use defensive programming inside a function.

Assertions often come in pairs.
Whenever you assert something, think about which distant part of the code base relies on the assertion you just wrote, and add an equivalent assertion there.
This is worth doing even in the trivial case, where the two parties are a function and its caller.
But be on lookout for more interesting cases, where the two halves of an assertion pair are separated by different implementations, or a process and time boundary.

Diagram with large number (following semantic versioning): 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

Instead of

const Thing = struct {
   checksum: u128,
   number: u32,
   flag: u8,
};

use

const SoA = struct {
   checksum: []u128
   number: []u32,
   flag: []u8,
};

in certain circumstances:

• Reduced memory usage due to amortized padding. As flag is a byte, it requires some padding to align with larger fields like checksum.
• Better memory bandwidth utilization for batched code. If a loop needs to process all things, but the processing doesn't require all fields (at least for the majority of objects), then an array-based representation reduces the amount of data that needs to be loaded.

What I’m taking from this is that software engineers spend most of our time on engineering software, and writing code is (as expected) a relatively small portion of that work.

Imagine this for other engineering disciplines. “Wow structural engineers seem to spend most of their time on meetings and CAD and relatively little time physically building bridges with their hands! This is something AI can and should fix. I am very smart”

The cultural heritage sector needs as many small, focused tools as it can produce. It needs them in the long-term to finally reach the goal of a common infrastructure that can be employed sector-wide. It needs them in the short-term to develop the skill and the practice required to make those tools successful. We need to learn how to scope the purpose of and our expectations of any single tool so that we can be generous of, and learn from, the inevitable missteps and false starts that will occur along the way.

As of this writing, these four tools might be more SFO Museum specific than not.

Great advices

It is much easier to add features to reliable software, than it is to add reliability to featureful software.

Besides, it’s very easy to accidentally think you need features that you don’t actually need.

Objects turn the structured data into a stream of integers; hashers turn the stream into a numeric hash.

One problem? The hash-functions use blocks instead of streaming these days. On the contrary, the Hasher API needs to stream unsigned integers. So in order to use this API a byte must work with the hasher. It collides with the current block where 128 bits can be hashed at the same time...

The bottom line is: hashing a product type can only be efficient if it’s linearized.

Working with SemVer leads to two observations:

• only two version numbers are sufficient: there's no real difference between patch and minor.
• deprecate than remove cycle: using a major version only leads to the removal of deprecation warnings and their associated feature. It means bumping for 1 to 2 should works, if the version 1 does not throws warnings anymore.

how to judge the semver approach? Either describe the thing actually behaves (descriptivist) or describe about the right and wrong ways to use a particular tool (prescriptivist).

Another instance of this pattern playing out I’ve noticed are log levels. You can get very philosophical about the difference between error, warn and info. But what helps is looking at what they do:

• error pages the operator immediately.
• warn pages if it repeats frequently.
• info is what you see in the prog logs when you actively look at them.
• And debug is what your developers see when they enable extra logging.

Dans un autre registre, la femme est « un être humain défini par ses caractères sexuels qui lui permettent de concevoir et de mettre au monde des enfants », pointe la LDH. « Faut-il en conclure qu’une femme stérile ou ménopausée n’en est pas une ? », s’interroge-t-elle. Elle épingle également la définition de l’hétérosexualité, qui est décrite comme une relation « naturelle » entre les sexes ; « ce qui implique que l’homosexualité ne l’est pas », en déduit la LDH.

Headline: Reaching people on the internet

Frame 1
Title: How it used to be:
Character Matt stands in front of modest building labeled "Matt's Website" with flags "Email", "Netvibes" (sp?), and "RSS" flags flying from roof. Matt says, "Come on over! I've got some neat stuff here." as a small group listens.

Frame 2
Title: What Happened:
Matt's modest building is now dwarfed by a giant skyscraper with Facebook logo on it. Sign above entrance says, "Welcome, new active users!" The small group of characters rushes over to Facebook while Matt says, "Actually, follow me over there. It'll be easier for us to reach each other."

Frame 3
Title: Where we're at now:
Matt stands outside Facebook building, alone. His modest building stands in background Sign above Facebook entrance says, "Door locks ENGAGED." as Matt yells at building, "Hey, I made some new stuff. Can you show it to my followers?"

Frame 4
Sign above Facebook entrance says, "PROMOTION! Boost this post for $10,000 and reach a fraction of your followers!" Matt looks at building and says, "Fuck."

In short:

• Anchors (links) are for navigating within the current document (page) or to another one.
• The dedicated "submit" and "reset" buttons are for specific form actions.
• Regular buttons are for (JavaScript) actions.
• Links can be styled to look like buttons and vice versa.

Link for navigation.
Buttons for actions.

"Look and feel" can be adjusted in CSS anyway...

It reminds me of these projects about customizing the homepage and new windows of the browser.

These templates are inspiring!

When a link is activated for a navigation, a POST request can be sent at the same time.

I didn't know it, and you can find a short explanation on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#ping

The Nuxt, or the Next.js, or SvelteKit, or Solid Start of Angular

Should it become a standard layout?
