I still don’t have the TRRS sockets to finish soldering this wired split #MechanicalKeyboard, so for now I’m testing it as two half keyboards and trying to find the best angles for the planned single piece follow up #ErgoMechKeyboard - here’s a cardboard prototype of a ~40 degree tended keyboard. It feels a bit too high up (could be lowered about 2cm), but usable…

@bortzmeyer Le problème est connu. La solution aussi.

Il FAUT réécrire le compilateur Go.

Sometimes the job interview just wants to gain code exec on your machine:

Local girl failed the coding interview:
I don't think they've got a job for me anymore now that I got their repos deleted⁉️

If a PhD is good for anything it’s trashing AI

Launching their new social network, W, a group in the EU posted a map of where other social networks are hosted. It showed nothing in Europe.

But their map is wrong.

Here's what Mastodon actually looks like, and what the Fediverse as a whole actually looks like.

NewCrafts is taking a break and will be back in 2027.
After 10+ years of sharpening software craft, we're pausing to reflect on what craft means in the age of AI agents. Lower revenue in 2025 and the dramatically changed landscape for software development both played a part in this decision.
For our Paris community, in-person workshops continue. Looking for a conference in 2026? Consider DDD Europe in Antwerp this June.

@b0rk (self-plug) I've put both of the Python courses I used to teach for corporate on-site training online under a creative common license. https://github.com/dabeaz-course/practical-python and https://github.com/dabeaz-course/python-mastery

Nice to see someone actually using time/motion studies to optimize the Thunderbird UI and UX. Actual adults in the room...

Pour les projets de clavier, outre le Flex en cours, on en a deux :
– le #QuackMatrix, qui est la vision que je défendais pour l’avenir du TMx 2030 quand je bossais pour #TypeMatrix ;
– une mise à jour du #QuackenZero, la version monobloc du #Quacken, en reprenant les ajustements de géométrie du Flex et en passant à un connecteur Raspberry Pico pour (fortement) réduire les coûts.

On précisera tout ça en temps et heure. 🙂

About to implement a dynamic dispatch feature with some Box<Fn(...)> created via spez!

I'm sure it's safe and everything will be fine.

I'd been looking for a modern, statically typed, functional language for years, and after using #GleamLang for about a year, I can say I've found it. Didn't expect it to be a BEAM language though!

Shout out to #OCaml, the current runner-up language and #RocLang which I'm looking forward to v0.1 of!

Here’s a hypothetical: let’s say you’re building a way to help verify a system using a grab bag of techniques (unit testing, SLIs, metrics, contract testing, …)

What’s the most *unusual* yet powerful thing you’d add? (Eg: TLA+ would count, so would trace testing)

I’m particularly curious in the weird stuff here. I know a lot of the space but I’m interested to know if there’s anything I haven’t seen yet :)

@gdinwiddie I once heard a theory from a friend that there wasn't a single person called "Shakespeare". Work attributed to him would be the creation of many. Could it be a similar situation ?

It still doesn't explain the many accounts and the follows but it's a starting point.

„[…] we want you to think deeply about where you place human judgement in the decision making processes that are digital systems. Comprehension is not a nice to have. It is the scaffolding that makes safety, accountability, and learning possible. Without it, you are not engineering; you are relying on belief. By removing the conditions for comprehension under which mistakes can be understood, corrected, and learned from, you…“ 1/

@vaurora That Crisis Engineering book you kicked my way slaps so fucking hard that it has instantly become compulsory reading on my team

I'm sorry, Charles de Gaulle, you were right all along.
