Deep dive into how JVM exceptions are implemented on the compiler level

A work in progress tutorial for GPUI, Zed editor's underlying GUI framework.

Transcript of Mary Poppendieck's landmark presentation titled "The Tyrrany Of The Plan"

A sweet and simple guide for declarative integration of the Catppuccin themes for Gitea/Forgejo on a NixOS host.

Some clever tricks you can employ to salvage an essentially un-salvageable machine. I learned a lot of new things from this!

Insightful post from Hillel Wayne exploring how to apply the Hierarchy of Hazard Controls they learned about from a mechanical engineer to a contrived example in programming.

Short and to the point post about designing things with a little trust in your users to intuit a relatively easy model rather than papering over the slightest complexity with things that erase the mental model of the underlying concepts.

A great essay diving into an obscure font that is present all over New York City, and tracing its history all the way back to physical milling presses in the early 1900s. Both the information and its presentation are top notch

Highly interactive and beautiful view of some 100,000 books, it's hard for me to describe what makes it so great to me. Seeing is believing!

A great round up of interesting stuff, mostly centered around C++

An ongoing mini-series documenting specific, often niche parts of the JVM. They're all pretty short and to the point, and the author encourages to treat them as chapters in a book as they reference each other quite often.

Great vulnerability research but the highlight is definitely the hand-crafted interactive mock ups of Google websites

Anything I say about it will ruin the delight of experiencing this page for the first time.

A great read about a bunch of smart hackers who converged around the One Million Checkboxes game and started hiding secret messages inside it, their eventual discovery by the game's creator and everything they accomplished while the game was still up. Honestly made me a tiny bit emotional.

Super simple and straightforward guide to setting up backups on your NixOS machine via https://restic.net

Airbnb has always felt sketchy about how they try to avoid responsibility for hosts but the deposition sheds light on just how deep this runs. Turns out not even sexual assault perpetrators are deemed as unsafe enough to be banned from being hosts on Airbnb.

Kinda wild to me that such a city could ever have existed outside the pages of Science Fiction.
