Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

If you want to learn about solo entrepreneurship (and being an artist), watch this talk by Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software. To me he’s the Jack Black of indie game development. What a story, and what a talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxV...

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance

🦀: But of course! We have String and &str. Or maybe you want some &mut String, &mut str, or &'static str?

For Java/Spring: What is a simple, reliable, and batteries-included tool for running background jobs (e.g., create report, do maintenance)? I am looking for an equivalent to Ruby's Sidekiq and GoodJob. For Java, I am already aware of JobRunr, db-scheduler, Quartz, Temporal.io, and Spring Batch.

For 2025, I made a donation of €50 ($52) to the foundation behind LibreOffice. I also decided to cancel our MS Office 365 family subscription, whose annual price was recently increased by Microsoft to from €99 to €130 ($135) "because AI !!1!1!!!".

Had some minutes to spare the last week, so I released v1.1.0 of github.com/miguno/sauber. It's a CLI tool that sanitizes filenames (replaces German umlauts, French accents, Polish diacritics, and more) on Synology NAS devices so they can be accessed through the network.
