The French abolished the death penalty a while ago but I am pretty sure they would still be in favor of using it on people that call this abomination a "croissant".

This asshole is defending someone who was calling to "burn the house" of random immigrants. And he is sufficiently stupid to call it "Freedom of speech"

America in a nutshell:

I am always amazed to the amount of effort Google can deploy to make the average user *NOT* to use their product. Is asking for too much to ask your *own* SSO to give a basic explanation whatsoever when it fails ? This is the UX equivalent of "Fuck off".

pretty good post on I/O optimizations. bitflux.ai/blog/memory-is… It is pretty common to see applications doing double prefetching ( DFS -> nvme, nvme -> RAM ) when it is often counter-productive for most I/I patterns.

Curious of what justify the investment. Hardware people: Is there any potential application of LLM in Lithography that I fail to see (or this is just speculation) ?

"sort of" OpenShmem never lift off as a programming paradigm. It's 2025 and HPC is still heavily using MPI because PGAS is such giant pain in the ass to work with. GPUs are a different beast due to SVM, but the long term trend will likely be the same.

Plutocracy in its best state.

Pleased to see that Cloudflare supports Ladybird . 1- That would probably help Ladybird to better pass the usual Cloudflare bot detection system 2- In a world where Web tracking and profiling are omnipresent, we need more than ever a good and neutral Web Browser

Sorry for my French, but this is fucking amazing. Beating (fairly) an optimized BLAS implementation is already not a small feat. But doing it with a brand new language, a new compiler and on a (undocumented) proprietary accelerator is pretty insane. Kudos to the Mojo team

This post makes me depressed 👇 news.ycombinator.com/item?id=453588… I do not understand how anybody can still be pro-dynamic typing in programming language in 2025. We had 40y of software history showing us it leads to in maintainable piece of junk. Just stop here guys.

Or just don't use W*ndows. 10y ago, using Linux Desktop was mainly militantism. Today, it is just the logical choice. Because BigTech™ has shown again and again it can not be trusted with your data.
