Thank you @mullvad.bsky.social for fighting #ChatControl everywhere, even in the subway, to make the general public aware of this threat to our democracies. 🇪🇺👀

All the talks about AI replacing all jobs seem premature. AI will not cause mass unemployment without a breakthrough on AGI. What makes us believe that unlocking the secrets of intelligence is easier than unlocking the secrets of Alzheimer’s or cancer? www.grilly.com/posts/ai-hin...

My son, learning Lua in Roblox Studio, doesn’t call functions. He told me he summons them! 🪄

Interesting paper showing that stackful coroutines (used for example in Go and Erlang) are not intrinsically slower than stackless coroutines (used for example in Rust, Python and JavaScript): photonlibos.github.io/blog/stackfu...

TLS inspection — done by a firewall placed between the user devices and the Internet — is still a form of old-fashioned perimeter defense, breaks the end-to-end security model, and often causes performance issues.

Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @joran.tigerbeetle.com. tigerbeetle.com/blog/2025-10... #ziglang

Best explanation I've ever read on why nil interface ≠ nil value in #golang news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4567...

It's scary and sad seeing the USA, one of the beacons of modern democracies, slip toward an authoritarian regime. But it's not too late to stop this and get back on track. Authoritarianism has never solved anything. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Introducing Mac or Chrome OS into a Windows-only IT environment is an excellent test of its maturity. A well-maintained and documented environment using modern standards and security will make the transition straightforward. Otherwise, the cracks will show.

Go would be the dominant backend language if it had null safety, sum types, and pattern matching. This is a missed opportunity.

A former FBI agent on the widespread use of masks by ICE: “Masking has always been associated with police states. I think the masking symbolizes the drift of law enforcement away from democratic controls.” www.theguardian.com/...

Trump is basically the Ice King in Adventure Time.

The team responsible for a single microservice at a Big Tech company is often as large as, or even larger than, the entire engineering team of a startup. Same for the size of the codebase. This is why it often doesn't make sense for a startup to introduce microservices. nexo.sh/posts/micros...

Perseverance and Andor are proofs that you don’t need to adapt a book to write and produce some of the best TV series of the past decade.

Popular programming languages have a killer app: www.grilly.com/posts/progra...

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

“I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the U.S. would communicate on Signal about imminent war plans. I also could not believe that the national security adviser to the president would be so reckless as to include the editor in chief of The Atlantic in such discussions.”

NEW: Thanks to fears over violations of customer privacy and overall instability created by Trump admin policies and posturing, EU companies are beginning to ditch US cloud firms—to the extent that’s even possible. @mattburgess1.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

Il me semble que nous pouvons déjà tirer quelques leçons en 🇨🇵🇪🇺 de ce qu'il se passe aux 🇺🇲 actuellement: 1. Il n'y a aucune raison de croire que des partis qui se sont construits sur la haine de la démocratie, de l'état de droit et de la diversité gouvernent en conservateurs modérés une fois élus.

Typical WordPress. You need a plugin to secure it. And the plugin is probably a Trojan horse. 😂

OMG, Severance S2E9 is among the most powerful 45 mins of TV I've ever watched. The script, photography, acting, editing, music, and everything else are absolutely exceptional. If they don't screw up the end (like Lost or GoT), this show will become a cult classic, like Brazil is in cinema.

That's the USA we love! Glad that some Americans are starting pushing back.

Incredible easter egg in Google: If you search for "open sans font", the entire result page is set in Open Sans! www.google.com/search?q=ope...

If it’s a trade war Trump wants, consumers in Mexico, Canada, Europe, and beyond should unite to ensure that Musk and his fellow oligarchs feel the cost www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/o...

Glad to see @microsoft.com saying that TLS inspection is a bad solution to Data Leak Prevention. It puts way too much trust in the TLS inspection solution and basically breaks end-to-end encryption. Take note @zscalerinc.bsky.social and @cloudflare.social. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

Is there any demonstration planned in front of the US embassy in Stockholm after Trump’s despicable and treacherous tweet?

From now on, I will start referring to myself as “GRILLY” (in caps and between quotes) instead of I/me. Classy.

Your “big, beautiful Ocean” didn’t help you much on 9/11. Everything in this post is despicable.

How come PowerPoint does not let me specify character spacing in % instead of points? Then when I change the font size, I have to adjust the character spacing again. Every other single app I use supports this. Come on @microsoft365.microsoft.com!

Is it just me or Deer by Adrián Berenguer is following the same structure and chords as Get Lucky by Daft Punk? youtu.be/RfP3x4QyaPQ?...

Pete Hegseth may have a point: Perhaps it's time for us Europeans to start funding the EU defence industry instead of the US defence industry? And while we are at it, start using the euro for international transactions instead of the US dollar? 🇪🇺💪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Apple should decentralize iCloud: www.mnot.net/blog/2025/02...

If US suppliers such as Microsoft, AWS, and Google decide to comply with Trump’s executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court, then EU and others should sanction them back. We can’t be at the mercy of arbitrary decisions like this. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/jan...

Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

Amusing how this one line in the Apple App review guidelines causes so much grief (and engineering effort) for engineering teams. It's the cause for feature flag hell, internally building backend-driven UI frameworks and so many other workarounds to revert bugs for users quickly

It’s funny to see “skill issues” mentioned by two different generations in two different contexts: by my 12-year old while playing online video games with his friends, and by grownups discussing software engineering on social networks.

Musk has achieved the remarkable feat of getting people to talk about politics on LinkedIn.

When discussing programming languages, a common advice is to simply use "the right tool for the job". In this discussion with The Primeagen, @cmuratori.bsky.social makes the opposite argument and advises mastering just one language. What do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTgO...
