<p>A new take on the age-old question: Should you rewrite your application from scratch, or is that “the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make”? Turns out there are more than two options for dealing with a mature codebase.</p>

And it was so avoidable! The bug was from a piece of dead code, left over from the previous Ariane 4 mission a decade before.
A brief history about server-side rendering and why it's the right approach for modern web development.
Thousands of cam girls live right now from Colombia, the US, Europe and Asia. Watch free with no signup, and see when each model is usually online.
What, why, who?
I've been on many projects that get canceled. We're building cool stuff. We're going above and beyond, and we're excited. But the project encounters reality, shifting priorities, or budgeting constraints, and the work never goes anywhere. It always feels tragic, but then I move on. But what if I didn't let a project…
Rémy Rakic is helping us enable the adoption of memory safe software through work to improve Rust compile times. We asked him to provide his perspective on the work in this blog post. Thank you for your partnership and contributions, Rémy! Josh Aas, Head of ISRG's Prossimo project Introduction Over the past few months…
Exploring the area of using Rust to write Mesa Vulkan drivers.
Audio formats typically fall into one of three categories: “lossless” , “complicated” or “bad” . After developing a simple image format last year, I tried to come up with an audio format that fits neither of these categories.
After nearly a full year of non-stop development since the initial announcement of The Big Refactor , 4153 commits made, 700 issues closed , and a month of beta testing, Ronin 2.0.0 has finally been released!
You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace , the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately you're using a browser version that my anti-crawler precautions consider suspicious, most often because it's too old (most often this applies to versions…
The latest Go release, version 1.20, arrives six months after Go 1.19 . Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility . We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
A response to Hillel Wayne’s “I am disappointed by dynamic typing”
Combobulate is a package that adds advanced structured editing and movement to many programming modes in Emacs. Here's how it works, and how it can enrich your editing experience in Emacs.
The Go Execution Tracer (aka runtime/trace) was designed to achieve low enough overhead to be usable on “a server in production serving live traffic”. This is achieved by writing events into per-P buffers, using RDTSC for timestamps, and encoding into a relatively efficient binary format.
Annotations, such as Javadoc, help maintainers understand your coding decisions.
A blog about game engines, graphics, C++, and more.
We are reverting this change for now. More details to follow. The default compression for Git archives has recently changed. As result, archives downloaded from GitHub may have different checksums…
Automerge 2.0 is here and ready for production.
Providing up-to-date, convenient WebAssembly builds of Python with WASI support
For today I only have a very short tip – or maybe let’s call it an anecdote. (This is not because I didn’t have time for writing last week. Quite the opposite – I’ve been working very hard on one of the projects I mentioned in my 2023 planning post . I think I’ll be able to share some details next week.)
SQL should be the first option considered for new data engineering work. It’s robust, fast, future-proof and testable. With a bit of care, it’s clear and readable.
Over the past 21 months I’ve written a code editor from the ground up, including: a fast (~120fps) canvas-based editor component; multi-language syntax highlighting with Tree-sitter; snippets; a file browser; find-and-replace with regex and JavaScript expression support; and two completely new features: AST mode and…
For those who don’t follow Swift’s development, ABI stability has been one of its most ambitious projects and possibly it’s defining feature, and it finally shipped in Swift 5 . The result is something I find endlessly fascinating, because I think Swift has pushed the notion of ABI stability farther than any language…
Wouldn't it be great to have a pet AI chat bot that knows you really well, and can give you free consulting, coaching and therapy ? What could possibly go wrong if an intelligent corporate-controlled system has unlimited access to your private data to provide you the best possible service? Well... a lot of things.
