Wanted to reboot my blog and was pondering the options. Self-hosting a static site would be okayish, but I also don't really want to yak shave the whole thing. I used to like Substack, but it just is becoming an increasingly weird platform thingie. So maybe giving Ghost a try?
I don't really know what to do about all the different social media sites. More and more folks are following me here, but I am not really using it. Maybe I should rotate through the different networks on a weekly basis :D (bsky, X, LinkedIn, Mastodon...)
In the style of The Ambassadors, Hans Holbein the Younger's Renaissance masterpiece painted in 1533, The Computers portrays many of the concepts and artifacts that define the world of computing.

This project is key to Java. We need a notebook to bring Java towards students, scientists,... and help them doing research/POC's in the same language that can later be used in production systems where performance/stability/scaling/security is key.

For my mental health, I usually refrain from commenting on politics. Today, I feel compelled to break this rule and speak out. In Germany, history revisionists yell their devoid phrases from the chancel, echoed by those who struggle with recent politics and are afraid of the future. 🧵 1/8
Google Gemini for Workspace requires an enterprise tier subscription to turn off. It's the best economic story for their AI. I didn't expect them to find it, but they did because after billions of dollars and decades of ML work Google has finally created a self-aware product manager.

Is anyone using AI/LLMs in the context of "writing" in a satisfactory and valuable way? I kind of get them for coding, but not at all for writing (maybe as a spelling and grammar check). Also made me think of this article by Paul Graham: paulgraham.com/writes.html

I've been thinking about and working to understand Free Software, Open Source, and business for a very long time. Thanks to @kelseyhightower.com, I tried to distill all of that into a single talk: youtu.be/rmhYHzJpkuo - I'm very proud of it, and I hope it helps you. :)

To everyone who's been in IT for a while: Which hype cycles have set your project(s) off course for a few months because management believed not doing it would disrupt the business? And how did it turn out?
I shared this story a couple years ago. I hope to never lose my enthusiasm about the joy of programming. I hope this story motivates others to tell theirs, even if it's just to their friends and family. We may not be rockstars, but we are creators and magicians. 🙏 donraab.medium.com/the-joy-of-p...
