New article in my blog: Responsible education in computing. I talk about the new computer I'm gifting my daughter on her 7th birthday, and why I believe it's important for everybody to get educated in computing. blog.fidelramos.net/software…

just received notice that an Eng leader here at Cloudflare who moved to Portugal from the US has had his residency permit denied in the months he has been waiting for one, he has hired five full-time engineers and six interns here in Lisbon. alongside the hundreds of others we employ here @govpt @mpresidencia_pt the immigration insanity here is making it increasingly hard to just operate a tech office in Lisbon much less grow one

I'm happy to announce my new project: genplis 🎶 genplis is a CLI that generates M3U playlists for a music collection. You define the filters that you want, it scans the songs, finds matches and generates the playlists. haplo.github.io/genplis/

I run genplis on a timer so it refreshes the playlists automatically. This way I add new songs to my collection and they appear in the right playlists automatically. haplo.github.io/genplis/docs…

En France, on a inventé le Concorde. En 1969, il décollait et atteignait Mach 2 symbole de la grandeur gaullienne, conçu pour défier les Américains. En 1972, le TGV 001 battait le record mondial à turbine (318 km/h). En 1981, le TGV électrique reliait Paris à Lyon à 260 km/h. En 2007, il pulvérisait encore le record mondial sur rail : 574,8 km/h. Dans les années 70, le plan Messmer lançait le plus grand programme nucléaire civil de l’Histoire : 58 réacteurs, jusqu’à 70-80 % de notre électricité, une indépendance énergétique que le monde entier nous enviait. Dassault, Sud-Aviation, EDF, Framatome, la SNCF : nos ingénieurs étaient les meilleurs. On avait dix à vingt ans d’avance sur presque tout le monde. Puis 1981, Mitterrand. Nationalisations massives (banques, acier, chimie, électronique, aéronautique). Semaine de 39 heures. Lois Auroux. Charges sociales qui explosent. Syndicats tout-puissants. Fiscalité punitive. Droit du travail rigidifié. En moins de cinquante ans, le socialisme a transformé un pays d’ingénieurs conquérants en un pays de grèves, de délocalisations et de stagnation relative. L’industrie est passée d’environ 28 % du PIB à 11 %. Le Concorde a été abandonné. Notre nucléaire a été presque démantelé pendant des décennies faute de choix politique mortifère. Ce n’est pas le destin, c’est le prix d’une idéologie qui a préféré redistribuer et réglementer plutôt que construire et innover. A bon entendeur.

Quick, somebody create a plugin for @omarchy.

I was 13, 1995, a hipermarket had set up 2 computers with Internet access. I searched for docs and tutorials on graphics programming in x86 assembler. I was obsessed with demoscene at the time and couldn't find any books about it.
how was it the first time you ever went online.

I pushed my father for Internet access at home. 14.4kbps modem and 10-hour per month at first. It was connect, quickly search, browse, download and disconnect.

Prices progressively went down. 20-hour/month. 30 hours. A 55.6kbps modem made downloading MP3s a possibility. At 5 KB/s. Then they announced *unlimited* connections. The modem blocked incoming phone calls to the home, but that was a small price to pay. I was *ONLINE*.

If you had invested $1,000 in zcash:native in 2025, you would have $128,789 right now

My solution is to press all of them at the same time.
While we're fixing everything, I really want to fix consistent boot and bios keys for PCs!!! How did we end up using the entire F-key range AND delete AND escape across the range? THIS IS MADNESS.

ZEC going from $0 to $17bn in less than a decade is important, because Zcash is important for society. A civilization requires three coordination primitives to survive and prosper: communication, computation, and money. Zcash is money. Money for an infinite civilization.
