In the tech world we have a bunch of crypto bag holder VCs backing Trump hoping their investment will then pay off. Nothing to see there other than the moral emptiness expected of these people.

After watching the misery around python packaging for years, it’s good to see a bunch of movement in this space and with uv potentially something like a clear winner. That winner should take all and this problem can be solved for the foreseeable future.
That skateboarding originated out of the byproduct of one of Alvar Aalto’s designs should not be that surprising. Architecture (built and coded) determines large parts of human behaviour.

I don’t agree that naming is that hard but I do agree with Steve Klabnik here that we should avoid redundant naming if at all possible. Say on Github I have to describe my commit, name my branch and then also title my Pull Request. It’s a bit much.
A quick look to what’s awaiting Germany-which has bet heavily on hydrogen cars-several decades in the future. California has a hydrogen highway which looks like it is on its way out.
Cosplay believing in the singularity long enough and at some point you won’t be able to stop anymore whether you really believe in it or not.

Always nice to be able to write stuff that the team has been doing and share it with the world.
Kubernetes is a very maligned technology but if properly managed it can be part of an entirely boring infrastructure portfolio. Realistically it’s not doing that much more than running docker on a bunch of machines and pulling images. React has a similarly bad reputation which is not stopping lots of developers from getting tons of work done with it.

Long distance bike packing races however brutal they may be look like they fulfil an ideal. They have an activity that’s not that fast but where you can still cover a lot of distance and terrain. The contestants are physically and mentally absurdly fit and still they go through hell. The remoteness of the locations usually creates a special connection to the local people and culture.
It’s something more people should do or at least aspire to.
Good advice that’s not only relevant to executives. Just answer the question!
This is a good guide how to deal with underperformers by Jack Danger and it’s written more thoughtfully than 90% of the management writing out there.
Super useful and unfortunately increasingly relevant article about all the ways scientists are trying to quantify perceived heat.
Coffee is already incredibly under pressure due to climate change. The last thing it needs is well meaning but harmful legislative burdens from the EU.
You start out writing a small flask app that gets a bunch of traffic, then rewrite it in an afternoon and then look at this: “The site was rock-solid after the go rewrite.”
I love real world scaling stories like this one.
The thing that Bert is not getting here is that Gaia-X is meant to be a distraction and not much else (that “else” would be politically far too risky to act upon). That’s the way these kind of things work. Meanwhile Europe will remain without its own cloud.

Logitech already has a forever mouse. No need for an MBA CEO to reinvent the wheel.
The G500s I bought in 2013 is still going strong, the only thing that’s missing is updated and functioning software to go with it. Logitech’s own driver offering was always absurdly bloated and after a couple of years dropped support for this particular model.
