À la une de Mediapart : le grand panorama qui met au jour l’islamophobie qui règne en France

En épluchant la presse, les alertes des assos et recoupant nos informations, nous dénombrons au moins un fait islamophobe tous les 2 à 3 jours depuis janvier.

Pour donner à voir ce pays déformé par la haine, Mediapart raconte six mois d’islamophobie en France :

Reminder: this evil billionaire piece of shit is actively working to strip vulnerable people of their rights and safety, bored rage-tweeting 24/7 from a mansion paid with the money we give her and it’s totally possible to stop consuming her products and to pirate her films if you really want to

Il y a quelques années, j’étais brand/motion designer dans une grosse boite des Next40 bien tech, bien scaleup, bien « Edouard Philippe vient dans les bureaux et tout le monde est contents ».

I'm glad you found it useful! :)

for what it's worth, I like it :) (but I'm not good at logos either, 😅). Interesting project anyway!

I hope to attend Zurihac for the first time this year! :)

Come to #ZuriHac 2025! We have a Swiss lake, #Haskell, and the weather is great!

this is absolutely disgusting

Meta is now completely censoring searches for the terms "trans" and "transgender" etc. on Threads.

So much for free speech and free expression.

Anyway, I'm not sure these evening thoughts are worth putting in the article, I should probably go to bed 😅

This would not only save you money but give you system portability: no vendor lock-in: a cloud provider shutting down your server over the breach of some obscure ToS clause ? Redeploy that *exact* system on any cloud provider in an hour or so

Of course a bare VM and a managed service are very different offerings; managed services are very convenient. But what If configuring a server was convenient too? Not quite as much as a managed service, but enough to reconsider the premium that cloud providers make you pay for these services

When you get used to managing your servers instead of buying into managed services for everything, you end up paying literally 20x less for your compute resources. Just compare managed database services to virtual machines on Hetzner or Infomaniak or other affordable cloud providers

I've tried to showcase the main selling points of Nixos in this article (declarative, reproducible systems), but now that it is published I feel I should edit my conclusion to add another benefit : infrastructure costs

So, it's been *3 and a half years* since I've written anything on my website; but I've been using Nix lately to configure a bunch of servers and deploy my side project, and I thought "This is nice, I should share this someday"

So here it is! guillaumebogard.dev/posts/declar...

My head is full of great songs and images (those pyrotechnics on Live and Let die! 👌)

I’m going to his second show tomorrow. I feel truly blessed ❤️

Paul addressed the audience in French, which was lovely. The musicians of the band were all great; Abe Laboriel Jr. in particular (but maybe I’m biased cause I like drums 😬)

Speaking of which… seeing McCartney tonight was beyond amazing. Paul and his band delivered a long, generous show with a perfect setlist of songs from the Beatles, Wings and PM’s solo career. This concert in Paris was also the first live performance of « Michelle » in a long time!

I’m sorry about the lack of alt text : it was a picture taken from inside the Paris La Défense arena stadium, showing a poster of Paul McCartney’s Got Back tour on a giant screen ☁️🎸

Unrelated to programming, tonight, a dream comes true :)

The technology behind GitHub’s new code search A look at what went into building the world's largest public code search index.

Cool article about the architecture of the new GitHub code search system (and it’s written in Rust 😊): https://github.blog/2023-02-06-the-technology-behind-githubs-new-code-search/

And sqlx’s compile-time verified queries make the development experience absolutely great. The “if it compiles, it works” vibes are strong, and they’re my favorite vibes

This article explains this pattern really well cargopantsprogramming.com/post/queues-... and I’m using it quite a lot it my Rust side-project 🦀
I’m building a simple monitoring tool for website uptime and cron jobs, and all my data lives in Postgres

Using these features together, one can implement surprisingly efficient job queues; and there’s something delightfully simple in not having to use a dedicated store, separate from your database.
(Although sometimes that would still be the right move, YMMV!)

There’s a pattern I quite like in Postgres : you can use “SELECT … FOR UPDATE” to proactively lock rows you intend to update in a transaction, and “SELECT … SKIP LOCKED” to concurrently select rows while ignoring those which are already locked.
